The Evo Shift has a lot to offer but there are some significant learning curve issues to resolve to make it work for you.  Below you will find photos of the form factor of the phone as well as photos and video taken with the phone.  Can you believe you can actually capture HD video with a device this small that does so much?  Amazing.

The first thing you need to know when you get into an Andriod phone is you have to open a Gmail account to use it.  Normally this would be cool with me because I am an avid Gmail user and love lots of the products that Google offers.

The problem is that the phone automatically downloads the Google calendar and Google contacts.  This is a great thing if you have been using Google calendar and Google contacts correctly but I have been using Microsoft Outlook and Plaxo for years in order to sync my calendar and contacts.  So when I got the phone and started using it I had outdated numbers and things were disconcerting to try and use the phone right out of the box.  For some however it may be the easiest transition you have ever made into a new smart phone.
