The first ever 4G smartphone on Sprint, HTC EVO 4G (formerly known as HTC Supersonic) has been officially announced. The HTC EVO allows you to have the super high speed data connectivity via the Sprint WiMax 4G network and packs pretty impressive specs that are close to what the HTC HD2 has.
The HTC EVO packs a huge 4.3 inch TFT screen that boasts resolution of 480×800, powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 1GB internal memory and 512MB RAM. The EVO is also capable of video recording at HD 720p and shooting static images with the 8-megapixel camera at its back. It also has a front-facing 1.3-megapixel sensor which is great for self-portrait and video calls.
The EVO has improved battery life while compared to the HD2, which allows longer talk time, standby time and also makes it great for the continuous web browsing on the 4G WiMax network. The EVO runs Android 2.1 and with the HTC Sense UI on top. It’s also equipped with connectivity such as WiFi, Bluetooth and HDMI out.
No release date has been announced but it’ll be likely launched in the summer. The 4G WiMax high speed connectivity definitely makes it the most exciting and anticipated handset. Engadget has the hands on video.

Only things of issue are one.) alarm clock got no pop up to dismiss or snooze the first time I used it. It’s been fine since then but wow- that was interesting. Had to turn it off to stop the song! 2.) One day, all my imported (at Sprint store) contacts disappeared. Only the ones I had hand loaded directly remained. I lost ~ 113 names, numbers that I have no plan how to get back. They are not in my gmail or anything..

Yes I want the elements at the home srceen with information updates, yes I want contacts visable at any given time, I need a train app, a flight app, a road congestion standing app and sure I need a telephone as a way to reply to my each command and now not cling/freeze or shutdown like my present Nokia E72 or my earlier Blackberry Bold.
