The two companies share their WiMAX and understandably so Sprint is worried about other company’s like Verizon jumping onto the 4G train with them. So, this week according to a Goldman Sachs analyst that met with sprint executives this past week were quoted sayingthat they “have encouraged” a wholesale spectrum deal that would bring cash in from T-Mobile USA. Keep in mind T-Mobile is really undecided on where their company 4G will mostly come from. They are still working on a plan to move farther than just HSPA+. But money is the ultimate factor in this decision. Sprint’s clearwire investments are not giving...

    Hey Europe, wish you had an EVO, you do don’t you? Well now you can get the the HTC Desire HD, the phone use Americans wish we had. So lets take a look. First up the Screen. This phone is packing in an eye-bursting 4.3 inch LCD screen, which means it is exactly the same as the EVO here in the US. When we talk about the body though that is where the change is.

  • Today I turned on my EVO, and wouldn’t you know, “A system update is available for your phone”. The update, OTA Supersonic 3.26.651.6, is Android 2.2 Froyo, and mmmmmmm do I enjoy froyo. Lets take a moment to review the new features, shall we? 1) App Sharing A cool new feature of Froyo is app sharing. Just select an app from the list and you can send it via Bluetooth, Facebook, Friend Stream, Gmail, Email, Messages, Peep, or Twitter. So far from what I’ve seen it just sends a link to the app that you open from your Android phone. 2) Flashlight The new flashlight app is pretty handy, it...

  • Well nothing is confirmed and things like this can change at any time. We’re at least hopeful to see some internal Sprint communication that they’re trying to get the EVO 4G updated to Froyo as soon as tomorrow, July 30. It’d be the perfect way to kick off the weekend, wouldn’t it? This is no normal 2.2 update, they are making some changes including preloaded widgets, a flashlight mode for the camera’s LED flash, light-assisted 720p video, and “improvement” to the quality of said video capture. But not all is glossy, it looks like the tether hack might be sealed up with this one (kinda Appleish). We are hopeful the...
