Summary Box: Review finds Evo 4G good as 3G device
BIG DEAL: HTC’s Evo 4G is an Android phone with a massive 4.3-inch multi-touch screen. It’s fast and fun to use, and while its 8-megapixel camera and high-def video function don’t measure up to stand-alone devices, they’re better than on many smart phones.
BIG CAVEAT: This is Sprint’s first phone for its new, faster 4G network, but in Seattle, at least, there are swaths of the city that have little or no 4G connectivity.
TO GET IT: The Evo 4G goes on sale June 4 for $199 with a two-year contract with Sprint, after a $100 mail-in rebate.
