There is some confusion over whether this is a GSM or CDMA phone. I suspect that the P6500 is CDMA and the P6550 will be the GSM variant.

Mark, the Shift is a touchscreen-based UMPC and doesn’t have an active digitizer. You would likely have vectoring issues much the same as any touchscreen-only UMPC available today. Since it runs on Vista or XP, it’s much more akin to a Tablet PC / UMPC than a PDA. HTC does have some Windows Mobile / Vista SideShow functionality in it for instant access to some PIM information however.

I’m interested in the Shift – my 6lb tablet pc is a bit heavy to carry around on a daily basis but I’m a bit concerned with it’s tablet functionality – does it work like a tablet PC or PDAs, or both? I’m concerned that it will pick up your palm when using the stylus unless there was a way to turn off “finger usage” but allow “stlyus usage”. Also, does it have touch sensitivity?
