HTC Max 4G Rolls Out GSM WiMax Capabilities

While Sprint Wireless has preached their new WiMax networks for more than a year, its actually HTC that’s making the biggest splash of recent WiMax memory.  The HTC Max 4G was announced today, and surprisingly the device doesn’t offer Sprint based CDMA calling, but rather the more worldwide friendly GSM offering.

The Max 4G features an impressive hardware set that not only includes GSM calling and WiMax data, but also includes an impressive screen resolution coming in at 800 x 480 pixels. The unit also offers a Built-In GPS receiver, 8GB of on-board flash memory, and two distinct cameras, a front side video conferencing camera, along with a secondary backside camera for picture taking.

The Max 4G also comes equipped with WiFi, which is great for non-WiMax friendly areas. If you don’t have a WiMax network connection or WiFi available however don’t fear, users can also surf the web and download data via the units tri-band Edge network capabilities.

We should also mention that the device is rounded out with a fairly standard FM Radio offering.  Sure there’s no release date, and the full GSM/WiMax combo is really only accesible in tandem in Russia at this point, but its still enough to make us salivate, or beg for more info at the very least.  [via Engadget]
