HTC's EVO 3D on Sprint should be here in a matter of weeks, so it's a good thing the smartphone finally got around to putting in an appearance with the good folks at the FCC, where it dropped a whole load of information, including some rarely-seen electrical schematics. In fact, the HTC cover letter it submitted to the FCC requested that the electrical schematics it divulged be withheld from publication. Either it's talking about a physical schematic rather than the logical one we're seeing, or someone messed up, because there are forty-three pages of circuit diagrams included with the ...

Sprint's not exactly known for its wide assortment of Motorola phones; right now, the only such smartphone on the network is the aging push-to-talk i1. We heard a rumor in April that the Atrix 4G might no longer be an AT&T exclusive in the States and be picked up by Sprint, as well. While nothing's come of that as of yet, the newest twist on the rumor says that instead of the Atrix proper, Sprint could be getting another high-end Motorola Android, supposedly called the Photon 4G. According to Phandroid, the Photon 4G will have a 4.3-inch qHD display, like the Droid X2. Along with a ...

This is the unboxing of the Sprint Nexus S 4G. Sprint in coordination with Google, have come together to co-develop the next Google Phone: Nexus S 4G, which is basically the same phone as the GSM Nexus S, but with 4G and some other customizations. This partnership helps demonstrate the latest advancements and capabilities of Gingerbread (Android 2.3) in coordination with cutting-edge technology. The Nexus S 4G is available from Sprint for $200 with a two year contract. First impressions - Lightweight and thin - Slick plastic back shows fingerprints - Great black contrast - No LED ...

The yet un-named Samsung SPH-D600, destined for Sprint, has passed FCC a month ago where we say the first pictures of the smartphone showing off a rather smaller-than-expected resolution screen of 320 x 480 pixel HVGA. The smartphone is the star of some real-life, not-so-blurry not-so-sharp, pictures where we can clearly see the Sprint branding on the front and the flash-enabled 3.2-megapixel camera at the back. It runs Google Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and features a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655 processor, HVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera, front facing webcam, Samsung Replenish-like ...

We've got to hand it to Sprint for not dallying when it comes to getting updates out to smartphones it's only just begun selling. First it hits Samsung Replenish owners up with a few bugfixes the same weekend the phone goes up for sale, and now we've learned that the also-Samsung-made Nexus S 4G is in a similar boat, with a maintenance update of its own already going out OTA. It's no secret that Sprint sort of jumped the gun on Nexus S 4G sales, letting some customers pick theirs up as early as mid-last-week. Sales officially began yesterday, so by now there should be plenty of new owners ...

There seems to be quite a bit of confusion concerning the device codenamed HTC Kingdom and whether or not it's the HTC EVO 3D coming to Sprint this summer (and currently available for pre-order at Best Buy). Well after analyzing the Kingdom's ROM, we're quite confident that it's a completely new device distinct from EVO 3D, whose codename -- as we learned in a now-pulled GLBenchmark test result -- is HTC Shooter. While the two handsets are somewhat similar, EVO 3D clearly boasts the superior specs, with a more advanced processor, bigger screen, and more RAM, not to mention its 3D capture ...

HTC revealed its latest Sprint smartphone today in a beautiful image. Combined with device specifications gleaned from yesterdays leak of the Kingdom and Rider ROMs, we now have the complete picture of what to expect when HTCs Kingdom hits the market. The Kingdom runs on Qualcomms MSM7630 chipset, which provides CDMA world phone support, coupled with the Adreno 205 GPU. It features 768MB of RAM and a four-inch qHD display with a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, while the rear camera supports five-megapixels. Interestingly the ROM shows that the Scorpion single-core CPU inside is running ...

Supposedly this is the Samsung SPH-D600, a QWERTY slider destined for Sprint. The capabilities here are apparently a mixed bag: on the one hand you've got a powerful gigahertz-class MSM8655 processor from Qualcomm along with 4G WiMax broadband data, but then a screen of just 320 x 480 HVGA resolution (according to its user agent profile) and a camera which is uploading pictures at only 3.1 megapixels (which may or may not be its maximum resolution). You'll also notice a front-facing cam and a row of physical buttons very reminiscent of those on the Sprint's latest Android handset, the ...

The groundwork has just been laid for a future Europe blanketed in high-speed 4G coverage, with the European Commission ruling that EU members must allow phones to access 4G services over the frequencies currently used for 3G and 2G deployment. Basically, this decision would block countries from requiring LTE or WiMAX to run on their own, segregated bands, like Verizon has done with its LTE network in the US. Both 900MHz and 1800MHz bands already share 2G and 3G data services; while adding LTE into that same space will decrease resources available to legacy services, apparently the ...

Google's Nexus S 4G on Sprint may be, for all intents and purposes, the same as the 3G version currently available on T-Mobile, but just swapping out the phone's radio for a new WiMAX-capable model has the potential to reinvigorate interest in the smartphone. Whether you've been bitten by the 4G bug and crave higher speeds, or Sprint just has better service in your area than T-Mobile, there are undoubtedly plenty of you out there anxiously awaiting Google's next model. If we're to believe the screenshot that leaked today (and of all the days to judge what's legit and what's a hoax, this ...

Google and Samsung's Nexus S may be about to spread its wings from T-Mobile and get high-speed access to the networks of some other carriers, if the evidence we've come across stands true. An AT&T-compatible Nexus S has been hinted at by the existence of some FCC documents, using the model number GT-I9020A, with that "A" representing AT&T's network. The case for a Sprint version of the Nexus S is a little less solid, but the revelation of a 4G-emblazoned logo for the phone has us rethinking things. Sprint will be hosting an event at CTIA, coming up in just a few days. An Engadget tipster ...

You already knew the specs, and now that it's official, we know more about when the EVO 3D will be released, and for how much. In terms of specs, the HTC EVO 3D has a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU with 1GB of RAM. The display is qHD resolution--a first for HTC--providing 960x540 pixels on a 4.3" display. The screen can also do glasses-free 3D when you playback special 3D content, or video taken with the dual 5MP 3D cameras in the back. HTC has included a switch near the dedicated camera button to change between 2D and 3D mode. There's also a 1.3MP camera on the front for video chat. The ...

If you're on Sprint but have a thing for AT&T's Motorola Atrix 4G -- with the lapdock and the other cool accessories -- word is that you'll be able to get it soon as the smartphone is rumored to arrive to Sprint next month. The rumor comes from an anonymous person in the know and according to the hear-say, the Motorola Atrix 4G will come to Sprint -- including the lapdock -- with support for the carrier's 4G WiMAX offering. If there's any truth here, we'll likely to hear an announcement next week at CTIA where Sprint could add the Atrix 4G to the crop of devices hitting the portfolio -- ...
