Sprint announced HTC EVO Design 4G with world phone capabilities for $99.99 (excluding taxes) with a contract after a $50 rebate.
At first glance the specs looked like the HTC EVO 3D without 3D functions until we noticed that processor was 1.2GHz. Then we realized that it is an upgraded HTC EVO 4G with a smaller screen and world network access. Some would call the EVO Design 4G a mid-range world Android at a low bargain price.
It will be released on October 23, Sunday.
HTC EVO Design 4G comes with HTC Sense, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 1.2GHz processor, 4-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi Bluetooth, international mobile hotspots and WiMAX support
