Sprint: HTC EVO 4G Coming in June

Can't wait to get your hands on the first 4G smartphone? You won't have to wait much longer: Sprint announced today that the HTC EVO 4G will be available starting on June 4 for $199.99.

The EVO 4G will be the first phone to run on Sprint's high-speed 4G WiMax network, which Sprint says can deliver download speeds that are up to 10 faster than those you'd get over a 3G network. The network will be available to 120 million Americans by the end of the year, Sprint says.

Even without its 4G capabilities, the HTC EVO 4G boasts an impressive list of features. It offers a 4.3-inch screen, version 2.1 of the Android operating system, an 8-megapixel camera, an HD-capable video camera, HDMI-out capability for viewing content on HDTVs, and the speedy 1-GHz Snapdragon processor that powers Google's Nexus One.

Sprint customers will be required to subscribe to a PDA/Smart Device service plan, such as the carrier's $69.99-per-month Everything Data plan. But the EVO 4G also will require a $10-per-month Premium Data add-on for its 4G service -- and that add-on plan is required whether you live in an area with 4G coverage or not.
