HTC press release (PDF)
HTC Shift - the HTC Shift users in a new era in mobile computing as one of the first mobile computers globally to offer Microsoft Windows Vista and push email. Combining the power of Windows Vista with always-connected 3G/HSDSP connectivity, the HTC Shift delivers unparalleled functionality in a sleek, compact design. The HTC Shift is the first device to feature HTC's innovative new SnapVUE technology. SnapVUE provides instant access to emails, calendar, SMS messages and contacts without the need to fully boot up the device which helps conserve power and extend battery life. Weighing just 800g and equipped with a 7" touch sensitive 'slide-n-tilt' screen, the HTC Shift is the new way to work effectively on the move.
HTC Touch Dual - HTC Corp, the world's leading provider of Windows Mobile-based smart devices, today announced the European launch of the HTC Touch Dual, a new and more powerful member of the Touch family that integrates 3.5G wireless connectivity with a sleek and innovative sliding keypad design.
The HTC Touch Dual follows HTC's heritage of bringing a new level of simplicity to the power and feature rich device experience that today's mobile users demand. Taking a design cue from the stylish HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Dual adds high speed 3G/HSDPA connectivity and a slide out keybpad into a thin and narrow device designed for easy typing.
The HTC Touch Dual is the second device to feature HTC's TouchFLO, the same gesture-recognition technology as that in the HTC Touch, but now with new functionality including the ability to view photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only one hand. TouchFLO also allows enhanced finger touch scrolling and browsing of web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.
HTC S730 - An enhanced version of the successful HTC S710 handset that launched earlier this year, the HTC S730 adds 3G/HSDPA and a 400MHz processor for those consumers and business professionals who want high speed connectivity. It is a stylish and compact phone which features an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard making it an ideal choice for the mobile professional who needs easy access to email, messaging and the internet while out of the office. The HTC S730 comes equipped with Windows Mobile 6 and a 256MB Flash memory wrapped in a sleek gun-metal grey casing.
HTC P6500 - Designed for the enterprise market, the HTC P6500 is ideal for use in a range of vertical sectors, from logistics companies to hospitals and police forces. Incorporating a 3.5" screen, 3 mega pixel camera with auto focus and barcode and fingerprint scanning capabilities, it offers the ideal features to be overlaid with programmes tailored to meet the specific needs of each enterprise. The HTC P6500 is equipped with 256MB internal memory with the option to add up to 1GB in addition to two external SD card slots. This powerful specification set is supported by 3G/HSDAP connectivity as well as a GPS ensuring that the P6500 is a fully future-proofed and versatile mobile platform.

Is that not a slight oxymoron? most enterprises don't allow cam phones.....
also, like the monochrome look of one of them!

If you have a sensible TV at home, it could easily replace a mid-range notebook, from the specs I've seen! And of course, that it can manipulate a sim card, opens a wealth of possibilties!
Hmmm, a partition with Linux...hmmm......
EDIT: 2 Days standby???  That's impressive......

So this announcement only confirms what the street new about for months.
Many blogs had shipping the SHIFT for some 2mths now. This official announcement is a delayed one. But still welcomed as the shift can launch Windows Mobile Pro OR fast OS switch to Windows Vista!~!
For such a large device Mobile Pro doesn't seem usuable unless to extend battery life (Vista =6hrs, Mobile Pro = 12hrs). However teh Shift is an excellent laptop replacement for a quick weekend in an attache case.
S730 is a good usuable product which will sell well.
What happened to the replacement Flip Windows Mobile Standard phone??! Will it have WiFi?

It's a real disappointment that no more devices with inbuilt GPS were announced. The S730 had potential to be a really great phone with built in GPS but as it stands I think it is just an S710 with a faster processor. Nice upgrade, but certainly not a revolution. The new Touch looks interesting, but it still seems that the TYTN II is the outstanding device in the HTC line up. I had another play with one on Friday and I really think I need to stump up the cash. I'm just waiting for prices to settle a little as I think they are still artificially high because demand is so high.

Was really looking forward to the Dual slide....Looks the perfect phone and a replacement for my kaiser for sure.
but after hearing no GPS...I'm gutted.
Even though its got the same chipset in there as within the kaiser....Hmmm i wonder if it could be activated at a later date as was the case with the trinity.
