Time 5/21/2010 05:05:00 AM
Undoubtedly, the new HTC EVO 4G is one of the greatest devices Sprint is set to bring to the market. Packed with Google's Android 2.1 operating system, the handset can offer both 3G and 4G connectivity options, offering users the possibility to enjoy much faster download speeds than ever before (in areas where WiMAX coverage is available, of course).

The HTC EVO 4G is one of the best Android smartphones announced until now, and it will likely be one of Sprint’s best-selling smartphones ever.

Bottom line, says Engadget, is that the HTC EVO 4G is "truly one of the best smartphones ever made, and even spotty 4G – a reality of a young technology that's going to take years to properly build out – probably won't do much to hamper your enjoyment of this thing."
