If you find the size and price of the HTC EVO 4G ($200) and the Samsung Epic 4G ($230) intimidating, the HTC EVO Shift 4G is a refreshing alternative. If you don't need the extra large display or a front-facing camera, the Shift 4G will suit you. It is too bad that the main camera got a downgrade as well, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Sprint promised us a heap of 4G phones this year so if the Shift doesn't suit you, you'll surely find something later this year.
