Sprint has revealed its plans to introduce a smartphone with the 4G cellular-wireless standard WiMAX in the first half of this year. Previously, this device had been expected near the end of the year. It will offer significantly faster Internet access than any current phone.
Some preliminary information has leaked out on the HTC Scorpion -- a device that could be HTC's next very high-end smartphone. Few details are known, but a mention of a 1.5 GHz processor and WiMAX is enough to catch a great many eyes.
There have been persistent but unconfirmed reports that Verizon will be getting the Apple iPhone this year, ending AT&T's exclusive right to offer this very popular smartphone. According to an industry analyst, this will only be the beginning.
Very preliminary details on a smartphone supposedly on its way to Sprint say that this model will be one of the first with Android OS 3.0. The release of the HTC Supersonic -- which will reportedly have a 4.3-inch screen and WiMAX -- is still quite some time away, though.
