Sprint's turn at the CTIA podium today involved first announcing new expansion markets for Mobile WiMax, but also the unveiling of the first-ever 4G smartphone in the United States: the HTC EVO 4G. According to the Sprint website for the device, the phone will arrive sometime this summer. The initial specs have even the traditionally gadget-bored drooling a bit, and include the Android OS (of course), two cameras (one of which is 8 megapixels capable of 720p video), HDMI output, 1GB of built-in memory and 512MB of RAM, and supports both Sprint's EVDO and Mobile WiMax networks. The folks over at Engadget got to play with the device, and call it "easily the best specced phone we've ever witnessed":
We got to play with the phone for an all-too-brief matter of minutes, but everything we saw was frankly breathtaking. The camera does seem to be indeed of a high quality (though we'll still be holding on to our compact shooter, thank you very much), the screen is naturally gorgeous, and the Sense UI was as responsive as we've seen it, and frankly delicious at this jumbo size.
No word yet on pricing or battery life, and Sprint isn't getting any more specific than a "summer" release
