HTC Evo 4G is the America’s first 4G smartphone. Only a limited group will be able to really enjoy the full potential of the Evo 4G at launch because of the limited reach of Sprint’s 4G network. The worst one is the mandatory $10 premium data add-on, no matter you live in a 4G market or not.

HTC Evo 4G has the same shape with HTC HD2. It measures 4.8 inches tall by 2.6 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick and weighs 6 ounces. It rocks a 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen that’s downright mesmerizing. The extra screen real estate makes a huge difference when viewing Web pages and reading text. The Evo also supports the pinch-to-zoom gesture in a number of apps. The display shows vibrant colors and the sharp WVGA 480×800-pixel resolution. There is a built-in light sensor that will automatically adjust the backlight based on the ambient light.

The large display has a nice spacious keyboard. Even in portrait mode, we were able to quickly punch out a message with both thumbs with minimal mistakes. Four touch-sensitive navigation controls placed below the screen : home, menu, back, and search. A long press of the home key will bring up a list of our most recently used apps. There’s a volume rocker on the right side, and the top of the device features a power button and 3.5mm headphone jack. A Micro-USB port and an HDMI port are placed on the bottom. The latter is a Type D connector, so we’ll have to get a compatible cable to hook the phone up to your TV. There’s also a handy kickstand on back.

In the HTC Evo 4G package, we’ll have an AC adapter, a USB cable, an 8GB microSD card, and reference material. It has HTC Sense inside, which gives Android a more user-friendly interface. In many cases, it improves on the core functions by better integrating the features, which is why we’re glad to see that Sprint had the sense to go with Sense on the Evo 4G.

The Evo 4G runs the newer version of HTC Sense, includes a revamped mail widget that can take you to a list view of all your e-mail instead of just one message at a time. Once in the mail app, there’s a handy tabbed interface at the bottom that lets you view unread messages, attachments, meeting invites, and more with a simple touch. The Agenda widget also now displays your whole agenda on the screen, and, like the latest HTC devices, you get an animated weather widget right on the home screen that automatically displays the current conditions based on your location.

The new Group Contacts widget will help us to organize our contacts by groups. The Friend Stream provides a single place for all our social-networking needs, start from updates from Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. We can call the screen as the Leap screen. Pinching the home screen or pressing the home button, brings up a thumbnail view of all our home screen panels, so if we have our favorite apps and widgets on those screens, we easily “leap” to the screen we want. The Evo 4G offers seven home screen panels with different Scenes, which presents a whole new set of seven home screen panels that we can customize by the theme of the Scene (Social, Work, Travel, Play, and so forth).

The Evo 4G also equipped with other useful features, such as Google Maps with Navigation, voice-to-text entry, live wallpapers, and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, in addition to an 8-megagpixel camera that can shoot HD-quality video, and will come with a Qik video chat application. Well than we can make video calls. Other voice features include a speakerphone, speed dial, smart dialing, voice commands, conference calling, visual voice mail, and text and multimedia messaging with threaded chat view. Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, and integrated Wi-Fi are also onboard, and we can use voice and data simultaneously, provided we’re in a 4G market.

The Evo 4G also supports a number of the carrier’s services, such as Sprint TV, Sprint Football Live, Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile, and Sprint Navigation. It offers 1GB of internal memory but the microSD expansion slot can accept up to 32GB cards. It provides a more faster data speeds for Web browsing, downloads, streaming media, and uploading photos–all from our smartphone. The Evo 4G also equipped with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8650 processor, 512MB RAM, and a 1,500mAh lithium ion battery.

Plus :

The HTC Evo 4G has a good 4G speeds. The mobile hot-spot feature lets us connect up to eight devices. It has a front-facing camera for video chats and also comes with an 8-megapixel camera with HD-video-recording capabilities. The Evo 4G completed with YouTube’s HQ video player, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and an HDMI port. IT also has other things such as an extra-large 4.3-inch touch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

Minus :

Sprint’s 4G network is limited at this time, making the mandatory $10 premium data add-on tough to swallow for anyone outside of the coverage area. The Evo 4G lacks support for Bluetooth voice-activated dialing. Battery drains quickly with 4G.
