Arun 795 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Mar 24, 2010 PC World Sprint HTC EVO 4G After months of rumors, Sprint and HTC's Android 4G smartphone is finally here. The HTC EVO 4G (originally codenamed "Supersonic") sports a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen with multitouch and runs HTC's updated Sense user interface over Android 2.1 mobile OS. With such a large display, the EVO is ideal for watching video. Not only does it support a wide array of video codecs, it also has HDMI output and comes with a kickstand for hands-free video watching. The EVO 4G also ships with an 8-megapixel camera with "HD-capable" video capture. Unsurprisingly, its powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, also seen on the HTC-built Nexus One. Like the HTC Legend, Desire and HD2 Mini, the EVO 4G runs the revamped Sense interface. Launched at Mobile World Congress, the new Sense UI offers some useful new functions for easy navigation including a new feature called Leap. Essentially, Leap is an elegant way of handling multitasking; it's actually a bit reminiscent of Palm's webOS deck of cards visualization. Pinch anywhere on the homescreen, and you'll jump to seven thumbnail versions of your open pages. From there, you can go to any of those open applications or close out of one. Another new feature in a new widget called Friend Stream. It allows you to view your friends' status updates, shared links, and pictures all in one seamless view. Sprint says its 4G network delivers peak download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. While Sprint has been talking about its WiMAX service (via the Clearwire network) for a few years now, we haven't seen very many WiMAX-enabled devices outside of laptop cards and modems. At CES, Sprint announced the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot that will work with WiMAX networks, where available. The EVO 4G is coming this summer to Sprint, but pricing has not yet been announced. Check back soon for a closer look and hands-on review of the HTC EVO 4G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 This phone AFAIK is comparable to the HD2, but this has the plus point of having powered by Android. Wish this becomes available soon enough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 No dreaming... this will be here ASAP..... now will have to take decision whether to first try out Verizon N1 or wait another 2-3 months for Sprint Supersonic.... hmmm... tough call... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 @ Dhiraj Sir, What is the difference between the two? apart from the looks if any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) The basic strategy of Sprint to unveil this phone (though we knew about its coming since last 3 months) at this crucial juncture is to discourage prospective customers from shifting to Verizon Nexus 1.... Viase if we keep on waiting, there will be NO END to new launches... every 2-3 months you will se a new and better product coming out... thats why, ascertain your needs and LIVE THE MOMENT.... like right now, I am enjoying the HERO as hell... most capable device and size in Indian Conditions as there is no sight of even 3G, let alone 4G which seems a joke at the moment...

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 first let the EVO come in hands , simply reading abt size dimensions and seeing pics wont give proper idea about size holding a phone in hand and seeing pics is way different so we cant comment about size , unless we hold it in out own hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
