It’s official – the May 18th launch of the Sprint HTC EVO 4G has been delayed. HTC has released a statement to the press, indicating that the handset’s launch date has been pushed back indefinitely. While HTC is not saying why the EVO 4G LTE will not be in stores on May 18th, we know that the ITC’s patent infringement inspection is most likely the culprit.
Sprint’s customers who have pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE will be among the first to receive the handset once this issue has been resolved. But for now, all we can do is wait. The real question is – low long will you wait for the HTC EVO 4G LTE before giving in a purchasing another phone? Unfortunately, there’s really nothing currently on the market or on the horizon which is comparable to HTC’s flagship phone. Hopefully this whole issue will blow over and the HTC EVO 4G LTE will show up in retail stores before the end of the month.
[quote]We can confirm that the product will not be in stores this Friday. Products for pre-order are on hold. We’ll provide a ship date as soon as we’re able. HTC will work with Sprint to maintain the promise for pre-order customers so they will be among the first to receive their HTC EVO 4G LTE units when available.[/quote]
my pre-order … 🙁
I was looking forward to this phone.
I pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE, so I will wait as long as is necessary because this phone like no other that compares is the best thing that has come on the market. For me it is much better than the Samsung, IPhone, Nokia, etc.
I hate apple, is it not enough that they know HTC is superior?
I just want my damn EVO LTE, I’ve pre-ordered the original EVO and never once had a problem with it, now I want my damn EVO LTE!
