HTC EVO 4G LTE is coming to Sprint and BestBuy today, only pre-orders to be fulfilled

Sprint’s own take on the HTC One X, the EVO 4G LTE, should have started shipping almost a week ago, but the release had to be delayed due to an import ban. Fortunately, HTC and Sprint managed to get everything in order blazing fast, and, as promised the day before yesterday, pre-ordered EVO 4G LTE phones will start shipping today. The news isn’t officially confirmed, but we have several trustworthy sources telling us that Sprint and BestBuy will cover all pre-orders made for the EVO 4G LTE by the end of the day. InsideSprintNow has been tipped about Sprint pre-orders, while the …
Galaxy S3 gets Bluetooth certified some more, all but confirmed for all major US carriers
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 3 Comments">3
Less than 24 hours after seeing Verizon’s Galaxy S3, codenamed SCH-I535, getting Bluetooth SIG’s approval, we now have the best of news for fans of the other three major US carriers. The Galaxy S3 has gotten certified in three more versions and will most definitely hit Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile in addition to Big Red. The news is very refreshing – we are now almost sure that the Galaxy S3 will come to all of the major networks in America, at about the same time. That’s a huge step forward for Samsung, who enraged many tech enthusiasts last year, with the …
Sprint: Pre-ordered HTC EVO 4G LTE units to arrive on May 24
by Bams Sadewo on May 22, 2012 1 Comments">1
Looks like HTC has done a pretty good job of dealing with the import bans of the HTC EVO 4G LTE and HTC One X, a major annoyance that has delayed the shipments of the HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint customers. After HTC announced that the problem has been partially resolved, it didn’t take long for Sprint to update its website and inform customers who have pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE that the kickstand-equipped phone will arrive on their doorsteps on or around May 24. The carrier stopped short of announcing a new date for the nationwide availability of …
HTC: Customs’ reviews done for some phones, now on their way to US carriers
by Bams Sadewo on May 21, 2012 1 Comments">1
For many, waiting is the most boring thing to do, and it’s even worse when you don’t even know how long you have to wait for. Though there’s no official confirmation yet from Sprint, your wait for the HTC EVO 4G LTE might end sooner rather than later. Responding to the US import ban on the company’s two flagship phones, the HTC EVO 4G LTE and HTC One X, HTC was apparently able to speed up the customs’ review process. Note that initially we were told that the review could take up to three weeks. In a written statement that the …
The HTC One X debacle: winners and losers
by Bogdan Petrovan on May 19, 2012 11 Comments">11
On Tuesday, news broke that US Customs had blocked imports of the HTC One X and the HTC EVO 4G LTE, effectively preventing HTC’s flagships from reaching American customers. The embargo was enforced due to an exclusion order by the International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC ruled back in December that HTC’s Android devices infringe on two of Apple’s patents, but gave the Taiwanese a respite until April 19 to remove the infringing features. Although HTC claims that both the HTC One X and the EVO 4G LTE are now free of the infringing feature, it seems that the US …
Bummer, Best Buy has indefinitely delayed shipments of HTC EVO 4G LTE
by Bams Sadewo on May 18, 2012 8 Comments">8
Potential owners of HTC EVO 4G LTE were supposed to be playing with their new device today, but due to the legal tussle between HTC and Apple, that dream is temporary shelved. It’s been an even bigger disappointment for Best Buy customers who have pre-ordered the phone. When word went out that shipments of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have been held up in Customs, thus delaying the phone’s availability in the US, customers received confirmation emails from Best Buy that the phone would still be delivered on May 23. It looks like that’s not going to be the case now. We hate …
Carrier billing for Sprint: music, video and books can now be paid through your phone bill
by Bams Sadewo on May 18, 2012 0 Comments">0
Sprint subscribers have been enjoying the ability to purchase apps on Google Play and charge them on their phone bill for a while. As planned, Sprint and Google are expanding that option so customers can now pay for all of their Google Play purchases – be they apps, music, video, or books – directly through the carrier’s monthly bill. The carrier billing option that Google is pushing has already made its way to T-Mobile, while AT&T is set to introduce the option in the coming weeks. Verizon subscribers, on the other hand, will have to be content with just being …
HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE delayed, shipments still waiting US Customs review
by Mike Andrici on May 16, 2012 33 Comments">33
Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC is and has been the only real competitor to Apple and Samsung for the past few years, both when it comes to financial numbers and in terms of overall product quality. Although HTC’s previous financial year was kind of sluggish in the US –a market that is expected to account for as much as 20 percent of HTC’s income for the current year — the Taiwanese manufacturer has high hopes for 2012, a lot of them having to do with the commercial success expected from the HTC One X on AT&T and the HTC EVO 4G …

Samsung SPH-L710 aka Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S3 spotted
by Bams Sadewo on May 09, 2012 27 Comments">27
We’ve covered everything you could ever possibly want to know about the Samsung Galaxy S3 and its expected availability in the US. As more information trickles in from various sources, it’s time for an update of which carrier in the country is likely to become the first to offer the stunning flagship phone. Last week, rumors were already abundant on how Sprint was apparently very keen on releasing a variant of Samsung Galaxy S3 way before the others. While we don’t know yet whether that will materialize, there are now reports confirming the phone making its way to Sprint, …
Virgin Mobile’s first 4G phone, the HTC EVO V 4G, to come May 31
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 09, 2012 3 Comments">3
You probably all know that Sprint’s 4G WiMax network was a total fiasco, causing the carrier to lose ground in the competition with Verizon and AT&T, both of which deployed LTE networks. Sprint abandoned WiMax, accepted defeat, and announced the launch of its own 4G LTE network a while back. But it seems that its old Wimax network will not be completely shut down after all. Sprint’s subsidiaries Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile will offer a slew of Wimax-enabled “affordable high-end phones” in the near future. The first such device has already been officially unveiled and will hit the market on …
Sprint now accepts pre-orders for the HTC EVO 4G LTE
by Bams Sadewo on May 08, 2012 0 Comments">0
We last reported about the HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint when the pre-order page for the phone went live, though going through with the order wasn’t possible back then. Guess what, the carrier now allows customers to pre-order the HTC EVO 4G LTE in all of its kickstand-goodness. The $199.99 with a 2-year contract price tag matches the price of HTC’s high-end phones from other carriers. Unfortunately, Sprint is still keeping the launch date of the eagerly anticipated phone under wraps. Given the fact that AT&T’s HTC One X has already been released this week, we think that Sprint will …
Sprint Galaxy Nexus receiving important update, connectivity issues begone!
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 02, 2012 5 Comments">5
The Galaxy Nexus is arguably one of the most popular Android-based smartphones of the past few months, offering a “pure Google experience”, a very nice design, and some pretty strong hardware under the hood. Sprint’s own take on the Nexus came a little bit late to the show, but it still managed to sell like hotcakes, as we reported a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately, just days after its official release, the handheld managed to disappoint many of its adopters, coming with a very annoying bug. Many users experienced problems with connecting the device to Sprint’s 3G network, which was …
It’s almost sure: Sprint’s EVO 4G LTE will come on May 18
by Bogdan Petrovan on Apr 28, 2012 4 Comments">4
Just a couple of days ago, we reported a rumor about Sprint’s kickstand-touting, drool-inducing EVO 4G LTE becoming available from May 18. When we brought you the rumor, it was just that – an unconfirmed piece of gossip, albeit coming from a supposedly reliable source. But if you’re eager to get your hands on Sprint’s new EVO, you’ll be happy to know that we now have another source confirming the May 18 launch date. Even better, we have some hard evidence, in the form of some leaked shots of the promotional material that will adorn Sprint’s stores for the EVO …
HTC EVO 4G LTE pre-order page goes live, the phone could start shipping on May 18
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 25, 2012 8 Comments">8
The HTC One X is one of the most exciting Android-based smartphones to hit the market by this summer, but Sprint’s own take on HTC’s flagship, the EVO 4G LTE, might capture the regular geek’s attention even more. Although it won’t come with a quad-core processor, but rather with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip, the EVO 4G LTE will hold three big aces up its sleeve. I’m talking, of course, about the 4G LTE connectivity, the SD card slot (lacking on the standard One X), and the kickstand found on Sprint’s EVO super-phone. With all this in mind, it’s pretty difficult …
