Sprint EVO coming June 4th!!

The EVO is being released on June 4th! This is Sprint's first 4G device. I am pretty stoked about this! It looks like there will be a $10 a month premium for the 4G service that is required and if hotspot capabilities are desired that will be an additional $30 a month.

Specs can be found here

Some of the things that I am excited about...

• 4G!!
• 720p video recording
• 8MP camera AND a front facing 1.3MP camera (look below)
• A huge 4.3" screen
• HDMI output - want to show some video to the family? Plug it in and watch in HD! Make sure not to pay a bundle and use Monoprice for your cable ** I have learned that the HDMI connection is type-D not mini HDMI. Monoprice does not yet carry a type-D cable.
• Two-way video chat!! I won't need my laptop to say "hi" to the kids when I'm traveling

Qik will be preloaded on these devices and will be leveraging the front and back camera to bring the first ever 2-way video chat service on these amazingly powerful Android phones. To quote from the press release:

“With the launch of HTC EVO 4G, Sprint customers will be able to enjoy capabilities they have never experienced before with a new video chat service from Qik. The two-way voice and video capability will be available as an upgrade to the preloaded Qik app on HTC EVO 4G to enable conversational, interactive, real-time sharing between mobile devices or from mobile-to-desktop“.
