Sprint’s first 4G smartphone, the EVO 4G, will go on sale June 4 for $200 after a mail-in rebate. (The full price is $450, but if you grab one from Best Buy, you’ll get the discount applied when you buy.)
The Android-powered WiMAX phone runs on the speedy 1-GHz Snapdragon processor, has a front facing 1.3-megapixel camera for video conferencing, an 8-MP cam for shooting photos and videos and a huge 4.3-inch touchscreen. It also requires a special, mandatory data plan. Sign up and you’ll have to pay an extra $10 per month for the 4G access, but this gives you true unlimited data instead of the 5GB limit on regular 3G plans.
