The Game Changer?

To quote Gizmodo writer Brian Barrett, "So what do we have with the HTC Evo 4G? The best hardware. The best Android OS with the best custom UI. The best camera. The fastest download speeds. Bigger, better, faster, more."

That's what he says about the Sprint HTC EVO 4G. What is that you ask?

Is this the device that will help Sprint turn it around? There is finally an iPhone competitor and according to many tech bloggers that have had a hands on experience they say it is the "iPhone killer" that Verizon and Sprint have been in need of. That's just the device. Did I mention this new device is the first 4G phone to be released by Sprint as well? Oh and it works as a hot spot for up-to 8 other devices. What? It's basically a mobile wireless router out of the box. You have to be kidding me. It also has a front facing camera for video chat, a rear 8MegaPixel with dual flash, captures 720p video and has an HDMI out. Who needs a digital camera and video recorder when you have this thing?

Here are the specs:

• 4.3 inch screen
• Android 2.1
• HTC Sense UI
• 1 GHz Snapdragon processor
• 1,500 mAh Battery
• Wi-Fi
• 3G/4G

As a sales rep I can see myself carrying one of these bad boys and having it connected to my iPad and walking through proposals with my clients any where in DFW. Do I even need a laptop PC? I am totally stoked.

Here's what my friends at The Boy Genius Report have to say about this device.
"We got some one-on-one time with the HTC EVO 4G today, and let us succinctly sum up our experience for you: wow. We’ll start with the screen… it’s gorgeous. 4.3 inches, enormous, easy to type on, responsive… it’s everything you want out of a touch screen."

Engadget Mobile quote, "...the phone will be dubbed the HTC EVO 4G, will be released this Summer and it's easily the best specced phone we've ever witnessed." They have also created a graph comparing the EVO to the Droid and Nexus One. Check it out.
