Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) As it seems HTC are prepping a WiMAX/GSM-enabled device - the HTC T8290 - to allow even more flexible wireless internet access. The new device is supposedly almost official as it has been presented at the WiMax World Conference in Chicago. The htc pictured on these images is obviously made for the Russian WiMAX operator Yota. Having a portable WiMAX device seems even cooler in regions that have no 3G support - such as Russia in this cASE NOT MUCH INFORMAATION IS AVAILABLE RITE NOW ABOUT WHETHER V WILL B HAVING THIS FOR THE OPEN MARKET ........ update 3.8″ 800×480 WVGA LCD GSM+WiMax 802.11g WiFi Bluetooth 2.0 clocks in at nearly 14 MBps this also gives me a feeling that sprint has recently launched their xohm network and considering thisi device is wimax enabled ...........sprint might launch this device in distant future or will they skip touch hd and go for this ...........too early to say .....lets wait n see Edited November 13, 2008 by Honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@ksh@T 20 Report post Posted October 12, 2008 Htc’s First Wimax Device! - Htc T8290 code-named HTC Quartz o early yesterday evening I got a rather cryptic contact submission here on nedge2k.com regarding a new WiMax enabled HTC device. Needless to say, this had me pretty excited. This morning, I got the pictures and some info…so here it is! What we have here is the "HTC T8290" (code-named HTC Quartz) and it is due out on the Russian WiMax network, Yota, very soon - so I’m told. Some specs as follows: 3.8" 800×480 WVGA LCD GSM+WiMax 802.11g WiFi Bluetooth 2.0 …yes, specs are a bit thin on the ground but I’m told to expect more info soon! So what’s so good about WiMax? Well, think of it as having ADSL2+ on your phone! From the pictures, you can clearly see this thing is connecting at speeds around 14meg, impressive! Processor: QUALCOMM® ESM7206A @ 528MHz Cellular networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100 Cellular Data connections: CSD, GPRS, EDGE, 3G/UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA TouchScreen: WVGA 480 x 800 TFT 3.8 ” (65536 scales) MDDI Samsung S3CA460 ROM: 512MB RAM: 256MB or 128MB Mobile WiMAX: 802.16e (chipset Sequans SQN1130) Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g with VoWLAN capabilities (VoIP enabled) microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash and SDIO support Built-in GPS Built-in accelerometer (GSensor) TV-Out 5 Megapixel Camera IrDA …pretty much what you’d expect from a new device - excluding the WiMax of course! Nice to see a decent camera included and, interestingly, the comeback of IrDa? [vIa:nedge2k.com] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 HTC Max 4G: First WiMAX Cellphone Drool-worthy phone News leaks about the HTC T8290 have been reported earlier. HTC T8290 was touted to be the WiMAX-enabled smartphone from Yota, a Russian mobile WiMAX service provider. Yota Network has officially announced HTC T8290 as HTC Max 4G, first WiMAX-enabled cellphone to date. Yota promises WiMAX speeds of 2.5-2.7 GHz on the Max 4G, which even sports a GPS. This 3.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen display offering has a Qualcomm's ESM 7206A processor that runs on a 528MHz clock. The Max 4G boasts of 8GB onboard flash memory with a 288MB RAM and a 256MB ROM. The HTC's TouchFLO 3D interface will go well with the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Max 4G has a 1500 mAh lithium polymer battery that promises up to seven hours of talk time over GSM networks! The specifications of HTC Max 4G mentioned on Yota's site are: • Processor: Qualcomm ESM7206A 528 MHz • Platform: Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional • Memory: ROM: 256MB / RAM: 288MB / Flash: 8 GB • Display: 3.8-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with 480 x 800 WVGA resolution • Network: Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE-900/1800/1900 MHz, Yota Mobile WiMAX 2.5-2.7 GHz • Interface: TouchFLO 3D • GPS: Inbuilt GPS • Connections: VoIP, Wi-Fi" : IEEE 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth" 2.0 with EDR • Camera: High-resolution with autofocus, secondary VGA camera • Sensors: Motion G-sensor (automatic picture rotation), Proximity sensor (saves energy while talking due to switching off of display), FM-radio • Dimensions: 113.5mm x 63.1mm x 13.9mm • Weight: 151 grams (with battery) • Battery: Li-Pol, 1500 mAh • Talk time: GSM: up to 420 minutes, VoIP: up to 230 minutes • Standby time: GSM: up to 350 hours, VoIP: up to 50 hours Can't stop drooling over the specifications of the phone? Unfortunately, the launch date is yet to be announced. The Max 4G has WiMAX, and it will be some time before it reaches India, as we all know the current state of 3G here. The only other alternative? Move to Russia. Courtesy : Techtree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
