The Sprint Evo 4G WiMax hotspot plans are starting to shape up internally, and it's not looking good if you were hoping Sprint would go the same route as Verizon and offer it up for free. (That said, we're talking WiMax and not just 3G EVDO, so ...) As you see above, "Special plans are being created for the Evo 4G because it is the first dual mode 3G/4G phone offered by Sprint." Also,...
Here's something I thought a few of you out there in Android Central land just might be a little bit interested in. Clear has posted exception first quarter results for 2010! Oh, and by the way, the company expects to see two new Android 4G handsets on its 4G WiMax network by the end of the year. The company says a device is on the way from Samsung as well as from HTC. Both phones will...
A few months ago we reported about Sprint's plan to cover 120 million people with their 4G service by the end of the year. Rumors and speculation aside (and pointless wishing over a pile of empty beer cans), Clearwire has issued a press release today with another slew of cities to add to the list:The companies plan to launch 4G mobile broadband services this summer in the following...
At this point, it's pretty obvious, the Sprint HTC Evo 4G will utilize the 4G WiMax service. The only problem is that the coverage areas for this still pretty limited to say the least. Well, Pennsylvania, your time has come. For those in Lancaster, Reading, Harrisburg and York, you are now able to snag yourself some 4G, and in case you are on the edge about the coverage in your area,...
This blurry little picture of the Sprint HTC Evo 4G, allegedly in a Sprint store in Central Florida, means one of two things: Either we're still hurting from last night, or the Evo 4G's actually made its way into a Sprint store. OK, both are probably true. Question is, what's it doing there? We're only about a week away from Sprint's Evo 4G event in NYC. That doesn't necessarily mean it...
Even though we're still waiting on a release date, and Sprint hasn't even held its EVO 4G extravaganza event in New York, Android Central forums member PanzyDog got some hands on time with the HTC EVO 4G today. So what does PanzyDog have to say about it? Well how about things like:It is simply amazingSo fast, so big!I didn't have a [sic] issue with it in my front jeans pocketBe sure to...

Ready for some more device rumors? The latest comes from Engadget, which says June 13 is the likely Sprint Evo 4G launch date -- don't worry about it being a Sunday, that's normal for Sprint -- though a week earlier is in the running, too.Another question they may be answering is how much extra access to Sprint's WiMax network may cost, and it's looking to be between $10 and $20. While...
Cellular technology can be broken down into two basic categories – GSM and CDMA. Both work well and provide the same function, but are different enough that they aren’t interchangeable. Lets have a look at each and try to clear everything up. GSMGSM (Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for mobile telephone systems in the world. If you hail from Europe, Africa or...
We've seen and heard everybody debating whether the rumored HTC Supersonic -- now officially the Sprint Evo 4G -- would render moot the announcement that the Google Nexus One is coming to the carrier, too. Indeed, it may well have. We sat down with HTC at CTIA in Las Vegas for some quality time with the Evo 4G. Video and more initial thoughts after the break. Sheer domination. There's...
Here it is, friends, the moment you've all been waiting for: a true 4G phone. It's the HTC EVO 4G. You're looking at an 8 Ghz Snapdragon processor, an 8 megapixel camera, a HD Video capture, HDMI video out, and a 4.3" screen ...and even a little kickstand on the back. Availability this summer - more as we get it, we're here live now! Follow us on twitter for updates.Update: also acts...
It looks like the rumors may be true. Earlier we reported that Sprint should be announcing the HTC Supersonic at CTIA. Well tonight it seem like Sprint Premier customers are seeing a pre-announcement blurb on their account page. If the Supersonic isn’t the groundbreaking device, I can’t wait to see what is. Whatever this may mean, you can be sure to get the skinny right here at AC –...
While Verizon & AT&T have aligned themselves with LTE and T-Mobile is sticking with 21Mbps HSPA+, Sprint has heavily invested in a WiMax network by Clearwire for their 4G-speed offerings. So it's really no surprise that Sprint is planning to release a WiMax-speed smartphone in 2010. What is surprising is that some reports are pointing that device to be a Samsung-built, Android-...
Don't worry T-Mobile users, there will be a day when your 3G Network will be the best network in the country. Yep, even though your current 3G network is in its infantile stages, T-Mobile promises that their 3G network will eventually reach 21Mbps (other 3G networks are currently trapped under the 7.2Mbps limit). The one problem? Every other carrier will have moved to 4G already. Eek....
There are some rumors floating around that Sprint is currently internally testing the HTC Hero. Sprint has so far avoided Android, even going as far as saying Android simply wasn't good enough yet, is the HTC Hero the first Android device that's 'good enough' in Sprint's eyes? It seems so.The even juicier rumor is that Sprint is also testing a Samsung Android CDMA/WiMax device. Details...
T-Mobile (Europe, not US) recently discussed its concern with everybody's favorite 4G technology: LTE. In Europe, it seems like T-Mobile has been falling behind in their LTE plans and here in the states AT&T and Verizon have both announced their LTE aspirations while T-Mobile is still focusing on their 3G rollout. So what gives? Is T-Mobile ignoring 4G and LTE altogether?No. T-...
