HTC EVO 4G - Not the Supersonic, but who cares?

Sprint announced their next high-end phone yesterday. Not exactly the HTC Supersonic that's been rumored for a while, but definitely an interesting bit of kit.

Short specs:
4.3in LCD (would have preferred AMOLED, but can't have everything) screen
1GHz Snapdragon Processor (N1, etc)
512MB RAM
1GB on-board for app-storage
8GB MicroSDHC card (upgradeable to 32GB as of yesterday)
Android 2.1
8MP Camera (with flash) capable of 720p video recording
Front-facing 1.3MP camera for (presumably) future video conferencing
HDMI-out (requires adapter, obviously)
WiMAX 4G radio (ridonkufast data)

This is a really slick device, in a really nice form factor. Can't wait to see how the reviews start coming in.

They also appear to be serving Apple/AT&T a big cup of STFU if the device is capable (as rumored) of simultaneous voice and data.

I just really wish they would have gone AMOLED for the screen. But I won't complain. Not one bit.

If the reviews come in favorable, this very well might be my next phone when December rolls around.

    Probably has 512MB RAM, not GB, but it's a solid device. Only knock on it is that it's on Sprint...

    Haha... Nice catch on that one. Must have been thinking about work servers at the time.

    Being on Sprint means that it will have real 4G coverage. AT&T/VZ are rolling out their 4G solution, but only at 3G speeds currently.

    At least it's not on AT&T.
