“Sprint is thrilled with our customers’ response to HTC EVO 4G and the innovative and exciting experience it offers,” said Fared Adib, vice president, Product Development for Sprint. “It is exciting for us to lead the industry in bringing the Android 2.2 update to these customers and improve on the amazing experience they receive with America’s first 4G capable phone.”
Sarcastically, the Evo 4G is in short supply and devices could be even harder to get in coming weeks because of supply constraints on the display from HTC, Sprint officials said this week. The Evo 4G, which shipped with Android 2.1, works on 4G cellular over WiMax where available and then reverts to 3G if a 4G network is not available. Evo 4G has a 4.3-inch touchscreen, an HDMI output jack, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a number of other standout features.
