Though we are not sure regarding the authenticity of this news yet it was exciting enough for us to leave a mention of the same. HTC's EVO Shift 4G has just now leaked into the market with a release date of 9th January. Missing the holiday season by such a small time period does not make any sense to me but I guess HTC somehow didn't want to get lost in the holiday bubble.

The Knight/Shift 4G phone will be a slide out QWERTY keypad smartphone but won't have a front facing camera as can be guessed from the image above. If the image above is true to itself then the HTC EVO Shift 4G phone will have a silver trackpad with the not-so-bulging�keys that might make your life a bit�miserable. We are still waiting for more images to understand the smartphone�completely.

The more or less plastic looking phone in image above might well be just a dummy phone but with related news on different websites we are very sure that the yet-to-be-announced HTC EVO Shift 4G is surely round the corner. We will keep you updated.
