HTC EVO 4G!!!!

Sprint’s upcoming HTC Evo 4G hits the tech catwalk in this short teaser from HTC. Similarly to the HD2, the HTC EVO 4G sports a giant 4.3-inch display and a 1GHz Snapdragon chipset. The most interesting thing about it however, is that it’s the first phone in the United States to support Sprint’s WiMAX 4G network. This allows it to take advantage of better video streaming, faster data connectivity and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calls. It has HTC’s renowned Sense UI on top of Android 2.1, which means users will have access to thousands of applications. Another premium feature of the smartphone is the 8MP camera with HD video recording capabilities.

SPRINT TO UNVEIL FIRST 4G NEXT WEEK

Sprint Nextel Corp. is expected to unveil the first U.S. phone compatible with a fourth-generation mobile network next week, according to people familiar with the matter. The device, dubbed the Supersonic by HTC Corp., represents Sprint’s latest and biggest bet that its WiMax network and promises of a speedier wireless connection will reverse the struggling carrier’s fortunes. The company is racing to make WiMax services, run by partner Clearwire Corp., available to more people as it hopes to exploit its temporary lead over the next-closest carrier with 4G aspirations.
“It’s now or never,” said Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis.”They won’t have an exclusive on the 4G marketing message indefinitely.”
The device is expected to be the centerpiece of a presentation made by Chief Executive Dan Hesse during the CTIA Wireless trade show Tuesday.
