Remember that mysterious HTC A9292 with WiMAX<\/a> rumored for Sprint a few days back? Well, take a seat, folks — we think we’ve got the lowdown on it here from a trusted source, and it’s a bit of a monster:<\/p>\n- \n
- Codename is “Supersonic” — a name we’ve heard<\/a> at least once before.<\/li>\n
- Feels a lot like you’d expect an Android-powered HD2<\/a> to feel thanks to a 4.3-inch non-AMOLED display and a svelte shell. (For reference, the HD2 is 11mm thick, but we don’t have exact dimensions here.)<\/li>\n
- It’s got a kickstand on the back. This wouldn’t be a first for HTC; the Imagio<\/a> on Verizon has one, for example.<\/li>\n
- Runs Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI.<\/li>\n
- Our tipster saw it in white; production devices could be available in different colors, of course, but white seems like it’d be an intriguing choice for a phone of the HD2’s size and shape.<\/li>\n
- The phone’s software stack is buggy enough right now to suggest that we’re not looking at a release any time soon, but we don’t have details on the projected launch window.<\/li>\n
- It’s fast — Snapdragon<\/a> fast, it seems, though our tipster can’t confirm the processor under the hood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We know 2010’s just begun, but between all this noise and the promise of a legitimate 4G radio on board, let’s be real — we’re already looking at a very, very early contender for smartphone of the year. Let’s not run into any major roadblocks between here and retail, alright, guys?<\/p>\n
