America’s First 4G Phone, HTC EVO 4G is all set to release on June 4 loaded with leading features Including Access to two-way Mobile Video Chat on 3G and 4G, Simultaneous Voice and Data and HD Video Capture. Officially Sprint Evo 4G will be available for $200 (with contract).
Let me give you a quick detail about its other pricings. WiMax is going to run you an extra $10 a month as a- Premium Data add-on, and using the Evo 4G as a hotspot for up to eight devices, can cost you an extra $30 a month. Coming to its two-way chat, it appears that it will run Qik, a third party app, which means that you’d likely be able to make cellphone-to-computer calls, which has a marvellous amount of appeal.
While the performance of currently available Android applications will be enhanced by access to 4G data speeds, a Sprint 4G developer guide is available today from the Sprint ADP Web site at http://developer.sprint.com. HTC EVO 4G boasts the newest version of the highly acclaimed HTC Sense user experience. With HTC Sense, HTC EVO 4G users can use Friend Stream to aggregate multiple social communication channels, including Facebook and Twitter into one organized flow of updates.
The critics agree that HTC EVO 4G is this summer’s must-have wireless experience as it continues to win their accolades and endorsements. CNET, LAPTOP and eWeek gave HTC EVO 4G awards for Best of Show when it was announced at CTIA this spring. Engadget said, “It’s easily the best specced phone we’ve ever witnessed.” The Financial Times cooed, “The first 4G phone in the U.S., the HTC EVO … ticks just about all the boxes for my ideal phone.”
“HTC EVO 4G is a fantastic 3G device, but when you use it in our growing 4G coverage area, it becomes a multimedia powerhouse,” said Dan Hesse, Sprint CEO. “The EVO 4G experience is much like going from TV to HDTV. But EVO has more than just an impressive list of features – it is also fun to use with remarkable gaming, video and web-browsing capabilities.”
