HTC EVO 4G Lands in Store

So you’ve been waiting for the wonderful (maybe overrated) 4G network phone? Well the wait is over!  The most touted mobile device of the Summer, non iPhone, has been the HTC EVO 4G, and you can finally get your hands on one.

HTC EVO 4G brings capabilities U.S. wireless customers have never experienced before, including a new video chat service providing two-way voice and video capability included at no additional cost with the preloaded Qik app. Qik Video Chat allows you to experience events as they happen, even if you can’t be there. Attend a meeting across the country and feel like you are truly there, watch your child’s performance live on your mobile phone, or pick up a Qik Video Message from a friend who wants to share an exciting adventure. The Qik Video Chat app enables interactive, real-time sharing with almost anyone, whether the other party has Qik installed or not.

According to LAPTOP Magazine, “EVO 4G packs practically everything a geek could dream of in a mobile device . . . The EVO 4G richly deserves our Editors’ Choice award. It’s a no-brainer for Sprint customers, and a tempting choice for those on other carriers.” Visit here for early HTC EVO 4G reviews and related information.
