First glimpsed in the month of October, the device came forth as a knight dressed in a shining armor. The Knight then moved on discarding names to finally be christened the HTC EVO Shift 4G. Speculations continued to increase with news sprouting up from all over the mobile web world. As the year pulls its horses to a rest, the device has now begun popping up in leaked advertisements.
AndroidCentral has recently uncovered a rather interesting image of a RadioShack ad which flaunts an HTC EVO Shift 4G. Previous rumors speculated that the handset might come out by January 9, 2010 for a price of $149.99 along with a two year contract. The ad confirms the pricing details by stating that it can be procured for the above cost when purchased with a ‘2 year agreement on an Everything plan with data and premium data add-on.’
In fact, it seems like the handset will be available for $449.99 without any contract. With such a slew of evidences, we guess the HTC EVO Shift 4G will either be showcased at the CES 2011 or after that, but January 9, 2011 appears to be scheduled.
