Full Press Release after the break.
Today at CTIA Wireless, Sprint and HTC announce the upcoming availability of the new HTC EVO 4G device to be offered this summer. The HTC EVO 4G is the world�s first 3G/4G Android device and offers one of the most robust multimedia experiences on a wireless phone. Sprint 4G delivers peak download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G, giving HTC EVO 4G the fastest data speeds of any U.S. device available today.
This feature packed device delivers a multimedia experience at 4G speeds that is second to none, making it possible to download music, pictures, files, or videos in seconds. Also boasting a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and dual cameras � an 8.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera, the HTC EVO 4G ensures a smooth experience. Additionally, you can watch streaming video on-the-go on one of the largest pinch-to-zoom 4.3 inch display.
In addition to these class-leading features, the HTC EVO 4G incorporates the HTC Sense user experience and adds a number of new features, including Friend Stream, which aggregates multiple social communication channels including Facebook and Twitter into one organized flow of updates. The HTC Sense experience also touts a �Leap� thumbnail view to easily switch between home screen �panels;� the ability to download new, interactive widgets; and a �polite� ringer, which quiets the ringing phone once lifted up. With these added features, the HTC EVO 4G is as intuitive as it is powerful.
Customers will be able to purchase HTC EVO 4G through all Sprint channels and through national retail partners, RadioShack, Best Buy and Walmart, this summer. Pricing will be announced at a later date and pre-registration begins today at Sprint - HTC EVO™ 4G.Last edited by YaBoiD; 05-17-10 at 11:42 AM.

I will definitely be buying one of these and taking my 30 days to decide if its for me, or if I'm sticking with BB. Just wish RIM would start pushing to allow for some of these features.03-23-10 04:46 PMLike 0
- I am with you. There is no way I can pass this thing up. This is a game changer. The specs are just plain ridiculous.

Until everyone else gets onboard with 4G I doubt Sprint will raise prices, that would just be shooting themselves in the foot. They finally have a phone that the masses are drooling over. If you go to other Android Forums you'll see even the AT&T and Verizon kids are talking about jumping ship for this.
I think it's having the desired effect Sprint wanted.03-23-10 05:32 PMLike 0 - Well first off the proration thing will always happen, all the carriers are running scared of the FCC at the moment. So, I doubt they'll raise the ETF.

Though I have to admit if the Galaxy comes to Sprint I'd have to take a close look at it, even though I'm not a big Samsung fan.03-23-10 05:55 PMLike 0 - Well first off the proration thing will always happen, all the carriers are running scared of the FCC at the moment.

As someone that used to work at Sprint, they definitely need something to pull them out of the hole they created when they bought Nextel for billions and billions. They don't exactly know what they are doing all the time.
That being said, this phone looks incredibly awesome. I would love to see that processor running Android, combined with 4G. Should be fun.03-23-10 06:19 PMLike 0 - I have a feeling Sprint will require a simply everything plan or something.
