Sprint Unveils HTC Evo 4G Super Phone

adeelarshad82 writes "Sprint dropped a bombshell on the CTIA Wireless trade show by unveiling the most powerful Google Android smartphone ever seen in the USA, the WiMAX-powered Evo 4G. The phone runs Android 2.1 on a 1-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8650 chipset along with a helpful 1GB of built-in memory and 512MB of RAM, which is assisted by a MicroSD slot supporting up to 32GB cards. It swaps between EVDO Rev. A, WiMAX and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g on demand. The phone is dominated by a 4.3-inch, 800-by-480 65,000-color TFT LCD capacitive touch screen. There's an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3-megapixel unit on the front. The camera also records 720p, high-def video, which it can play through an HDMI out jack on the bottom. The Evo 4G weighs 170g and measures 120.5 mm by 67 mm by 13 mm. It's expected to hit the market in the summer."

I think you're confusing buzzwords with technical terms. Buzzwords can be used to enhance the intelligence of a statement regardless of grammatical context or intended meaning! HDMI! EVDO! Capacitive touch screen! Snapdragon!

Also: Two hours sleep. Your pick.

And I never said it wasn't newsworthy in it's own right. Personally, I couldn't care less about this phone or mobile connectivity in general. But I understand this new phone will give some geeks a stiffy, and that's fine too. If you enjoy that sort of thing you and your fellow enthusiasts can circle-jerk over this techno-fetish item all you like. But the fellow next to you, bubbling and gushing his hot man-phone love all over your ears, may in fact be a paid professional. Which may make it all the hotter for you, I'm not really sure how these things work.
