Google I/O has been one of the best events I have been to this year, but things got even better this morning when they announced that everyone in attendance would be getting a Sprint HTC EVO 4G. Google had already sent out the Motorola DROID or Nexus One to developers who are attending the conference, but the announcement of the EVO 4G was a nice surprise. As you know, we got to play around with the HTC EVO 4G last week in New York, but this was our first time actually using a retail model of the phone and seeing it in its final packaging. We’ll be covering the handset in full detail once we have adequate time with it, but we thought we’d share a few pictures of the EVO 4G unboxing, to give you an idea of what to expect once it hits store shelves. The packaging itself looks a lot like a frozen dinner box and does appear to be pretty cheap. We’re thinking that Sprint is trying to reduce as much cost as possible since they are selling the HTC EVO 4G for $199 with a two year contract. Like most of the other HTC devices hitting carriers in the U.S market, the EVO 4G only comes with a USB cable a wall adapter. If you were hoping for a hands-free headset, you’ll have to choose from Sprint’s in store selection.

Be sure to check out the pictures below and let us know what you think.
