The Most Awesome Phone Ever of the Year

With technology changing so fast, who knows what will exist by the time this phone hits for Spring in the summer. But for now, it’s pretty much the coolest phone I’ve ever seen. The first 4G phone, the HTC Evo, is on Sprint, so that sucks, but then again Sprint’s 4G and WiMax turn it into a speed powerhouse unlike any other.

It has a list of features I didn’t even know were being considered for cell phones, only have heard of them in a “boy it’d be awesome if” conversation with my friends.

My iPhone’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t even come close to matching the specs of this beast.

Here are just a few of the head turners that I’d swap out my iPhone for if I didn’t have to switch networks.

- Android operating system
- 4G and 3G download speeds (apparently way faster).
- 1GHz Snapdragon processor
- 8MP camera
- 1GB of built-in storage, along with 512MB of RAM. (iPhone has 256 RAM)
- Runs Flash seamlessly
- The HTC Evo will work as a hotspot for up to eight devices. This means your friends can jump onto a wi-fi connection using the phone. Apparently they tested it and streamed a movie on another device through it perfectly.
- HD Video Recording, and HDMI Output
- A built in Kickstand. Sounds dumb, but I want one quite often on my phone as long as it’s built solidly into the structure.

Will I become a Sprint Customer. Probably not. If the iPhone doesn’t take a big leap this summer…probably will.
