HTC EVO Shift 4G Is the HTC Knight, A Smaller EVO 4G With a QWERTY; Nexus S Has a Curved Display

Labels: , , , , , , ,

There are a few rumours going around regarding two big smartphones that will be hitting the market. The first one is pictured above and it's the HTC Knight / Speedy which is reportedly the HTC EVO Shift 4G. This one is said to feature a body a bit smaller than the EVO 4G but it'll reportedly feature a larger battery along with a (four-row) slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The other handset is regarding the Samsung-built Nexus S. This reportedly has a curved display which apparently has a curved display which is said to improve usability. I don't really know how that works, but that's what their research says. Apparently this was supposed to be hitting Sprint but Samsung was unable to meet the shipment requirements that they agreed on.

LG isn't known to be a smartphone powerhouse at this very moment but they could actually change that in 2011 - starting with this handset.
