Florin  By on 04 Jan 11

In a surprising pre-CES 2011 announcement, Sprint has finally made the HTC Evo Shift 4G official – it is its third 4G (WiMax) smartphone, after the original Evo 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G.

In case you don’t know yet, the new Evo Shift 4G comes with a sliding QWERTY keyboard and runs Android 2.2 Froyo with HTC Sense on top. Hopefully, it will be updated to Android Gingerbread soon.

Other specs and features:

Customers will be able to buy Sprint’s HTC Evo Shift 4G starting January 9 (this Sunday). The smartphone costs $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate – new 2-yr contract agreement required. You can check out the Shift 4G here at Sprint’s website.

You can also get the EVO Shift 4G at Amazon for $119.99.

Sprint has also announced a new MiFi 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot from Novatel Wireless. More info should be available here.

    Where’s the kickstand? At first I thought the kickstand was lame, but now I use it all the time.

  • Oshogg

    This has 800MHz CPU – Gingerbread requires at least 1GHz. This will never get gingerbread..

    something to keep in mind before getting into a 2-year contract.

    It looks cheaper, has a lower MP camera and doesn’t have a kick stand, plus a smaller screen. What a disappointment from HTC
