HTC EVO 4G marked the largest quantity of a single phone sold in one day ever for Sprint -- the record was previously held by both Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre, Sprint said in a statement. "In addition, the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on launch day was three times the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined."
Of the recent rivals to the iPhone, perhaps no device has been ballyhooed as much as the EVO 4G, which runs Google's (GOOG) Android operating system. It is billed as the first 4G smart phone, but that won't be its most immediately striking feature for many -- Sprint still has to expand the high speed wireless network to several major cities.
Rather, consumers will be wowed by the huge display, powerful microprocessor and other cool features -- for example, the phone doubles as a WiFi hotspot. Early reviews were positive. "If you want the biggest, brawniest, most ridiculously muscular phone you can buy, it's the Evo," tech blog Gizmodo wrote.
The strong initial performance will give a boost to Taiwan-based handset maker HTC, which has emerged as a powerful new player on the smartphone scene, thanks to its partnership with Google. HTC also manufactures the Droid Incredible and the Nexus One, both of which run the Android OS.
