Critics’ Choice: HTC Evo 4G Smartphone Review Roundup

“For several years now, Sprint has been in next-to-last place
among U.S. wireless network providers. But that might eventually
change if Sprint continues to offer smartphones like the HTC EVO 4G
($200 with a new contract), a well-reviewed Android 2.1 handset
boasting several firsts and currently a Sprint exclusive in the
U.S.

“The HTC EVO 4G, introduced in March and shipping June 4, is the
first 3G/4G network phone in the U.S. Along with working on
Sprint’s 3G network, the EVO 4G can take advantage of Sprint’s
faster 4G network as well. Sprint’s 4G network is based on WiMAX
technology and is currently in 33 U.S. markets.

“The EVO 4G is also the first phone from a U.S. carrier with a
front-facing camera for video chat. And it’s among the first to
offer 720p video recording. Apple’s iPhone 4, available June 24,
also boasts a front-facing webcam for video chat, and a back-facing
camera for still images and 720p video recording.

“Packed with features such as the ability to turn the phone into
a Wi-Fi hotspot, the EVO 4G is earning highly favorable
reviews.”
