HTC Supersonic to land on Sprint’s 4G Network, feature Android 2.1

The HTC Supersonic is not new to us by any means. The code name was leaked with an early Android 2.0 build of the HTC Hero. Apparently, the HTC Supersonic will come to life Sprint’s network and will be the first Android powered phone to be equipped with a WiMax chip. A tipster has informed Engadget that the HTC Supersonic is “Snapdragon fast”, features a 4.3 inch display, features a kickstand on the back (similar to the Verizon HTC Imagio), and will be running on Android 2.1 with HTC Sense. The HTC Supersonic would not be the first WiMax equipped handset for HTC. Last year they released the WM6.1 HTC Max 4G in Russia. It’s nice to see HTC still leasing the way in bringing 4G capable handsets to market, but due to Sprint’s limited 4G coverage, I’m not sure how many happy customers they would really have.
