Sprint, HTC partner for launch of 3G/4G Android phone Tweet

Sprint and HTC have jointly announced summer availability of what they claim is the world's first 3G/4G Android handset - HTC EVO 4G - exclusively from Sprint.

The HTC EVO 4G delivers a multimedia experience at 4G speeds making it possible to download music, pictures, files or videos in seconds, and watch streaming video on the go with a 4.3-inch display. The new Android-powered smartphone runs on the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon platform, and has dual cameras - an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera.

With built-in mobile hotspot functionality, HTC EVO 4G also allows up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices, including laptop, camera, music player, video player and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device, to enjoy the benefits of 4G speeds on the go.

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.
