HTC EVO

The handset is centered around a 480 x 800 4.3-inch TFT LCD, with a Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor under the hood (the CDMA version of the QSD8250 in the HD2 and Nexus One), and even a helpful 1GB of built-in memory and 512MB of RAM -- hello app storage! Even the battery is bigger than the HD2, and the camera is an 8 megapixel monstrosity with flash, that's capable of 720p video, and is augmented by a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for good measure. The phone features HDMI out (though you'll need an adapter for turning it into a TV-familiar HDMI plug), 802.11b/g WiFi, and an 8GB microSD card. There's that still-rare Android 2.1 underneath an updated version of HTC's Sense UI. But... despite all these wild features, what actually sets the EVO 4G apart is the fact that it's Sprint's first 4G phone.

Now those are some sick specs!

I don't know how I feel about Android. What of the things that really pulls me towards Palm's webOS is that launch-day devices are all running the most up-to-date software version. How many variants of Android are out there?

But from a hardware perspective, this thing is sweet. Love to see something comparable coming from Palm.

The phone looks like a freaking brick. Like Zach Morris pulling his cell phone out of a backpack big. Not for me, thank you.
