In just shy of 20 days, the HTC Supersonic &#8212; an absolute beast of a phone &#8212; went from non-existent to deeply detailed and fully photographed.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;ve missed a screenshot or two or just had no idea the Supersonic existed, don&#8217;t sweat it &#8211; we&#8217;ve got your back.<\/p>\n<p>The world got its first hint of of the Supersonic on January 8th, when a listing for the<strong> HTC A9292 WIMAX BAR <\/strong> showed up in Sprint&#8217;s inventory. The listing confirmed the bar form factor and that it would run on Sprint&#8217;s WiMax network, but that was all we knew.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, a tipster spilled the beans to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/17\/htc-supersonic-to-ring-in-wimax-on-sprint-android-style\/\">Engadget<\/a>. The details they shared:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4.3&#8243; display. It&#8217;s nice and big, but the bad news: It&#8217;s not AMOLED.<\/li>\n<li>It runs Android 2.1, made all the better with HTC&#8217;s Sense interface overhaul.<\/li>\n<li>Like the HTC Imagio, it has a kickstand on the back<\/li>\n<li>No date revealed<\/li>\n<li>Looks similar to the HD2, but in white<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>WiMax? 4.3&#8243; display? Android 2.1 on an HTC device? We&#8217;ll take 3, as long as it looks good &#8211; but as no shots had leaked yet, the looks were still in question.<\/p>\n<p>And then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/early-leak-630x246.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"early leak\" width=\"630\" height=\"246\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25341\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bam! The above shots leaked by way of <a href=\"http:\/\/androidmobileos.com\/?p=338\">AndroidMobileOs.com<\/a>. They&#8217;re not exactly the most flattering shots in the history of leaks &#8211; but hey, the pretty much confirmed the previously leaked details: it looks like an HTC HD2, and has what looks like an Imagio-esque kickstand on the back.<\/p>\n<p>Not satisfied by noisy, blurry pictures? Lucky you! Just hours later, our Russian friends  over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youhtc.ru\">YouHTC.RU<\/a> managed to dig up a considerably clearer shot of the front:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/youhtc-441x630.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"youhtc\" width=\"441\" height=\"630\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25342\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, a clear-as-day render showed up over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.androphones.com\">Androphones<\/a>. No one seems know if it&#8217;s HTC-made or just the work of a dedicated and rather talented individual, but it sure looks legit to us:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/androphones.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"androphones\" width=\"327\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25343\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So what do you think &#8211; could you see yourself toting an HTC Supersonic?
