• HTC EVO Shift 4G's slimmed down features allow for a much more aggressive price point that will bring the power of the Sprint 4G Network to the masses.

• HTC EVO Shift 4G is an Android-powered smartphone with a slideout full QWERTY keyboard.

• HTC EVO Shift 4G specs are virtually identical to its competitors, yet HTC EVO Shift 4G is available at an incredibly aggressive price point.

Get back on track on Jan. 1 with health and fitness apps such as Diet Watcher Cookbook (search for millions of recipes, lists nutritional facts); Fast Food Calorie Counter; Cardio Trainer (training partner for running, cycling, hiking, and other fitness activities); Yoga Trainer Lite; and Exercise TV.
