Official HTC EVO Review Thread

[rainfreak]

Yeah, seriously. I don't care if Sprint releases it because they are trying to beat the "new" iPhone, whoop ass on another device on another network, all the stars are in the right alignment, Chuck Norris said so, etc. Just give me my damn EVO!

you must have spoken to a grade-A moron. Absolutely ridiculous claim, don't propagate it.

4G is already up and running on several devices (usb modems, overdrive), as long as the EVO has a Wimax radio (which it does) it can and will pick up 4G.

4G coverage may not be widely available in all areas until next year, but it is already available in many fair cities (like mine) and it is expanding rapidly.

I wouldn't bet on that:

If these work like they're supposed to, NYC will be the first of the major markets to have WiMax available and the EVO will be the only phone able to take advantage of it.

HTC EVO 4G's successor is codenamed HTC Olympian. The name Scorpion is a codename for Qualcomm's dual core (hence scorpion) 8x72 processor, in which each single core is a 1.5Ghz Snapdragon CPU.

For those who are wondering when HTC Olympian is coming out - my guess would be no earlier than Q1 of 2011, because 8x72 Scorpion CPU will be released in Q4 of 2010, and this is coming directly from HTC's Senior Vice President of product management: http://www.slashgear.com/dual-core-1...-2010-0768955/
