“Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…”
All those except for the leaping thing maybe true of the latest device that has my fancy. It was rumored a few months ago when it was leaked on the Sprint product roadmap as the HTC A9292. Briefly mentioned as a “WiMAX” enabled phone but little else was said. Then Mid-January some more details arose and the HTC Supersonic started to reveal itself from the internet ether.
This Snapdragon phone powered with Android was the HTC fanboy’s dream. HTC HD2 had already made us drool but its one caveat was the Windows Mobile operating system. No doubt Windows Mobile is a tried and true mobile OS and I myself have had WinMo phones for years but the best OS on the market now available on multiple devices is Google’s Android. Google released the Nexus One right before CES and has definitely changed the expectations of what can be offered in an Android device. The Supersonic “takes it one step further“ in many ways. It has a 4G radio enabling it to browse on Sprint/Clear’s WiMAX Network or on the LTE standard.
If it is on Sprint though then it will capable of WiMAX as Big Red seems to be headed towards an LTE standard in the next few years.
