HTC Announces MAX 4G Dual-Mode WiMax/GSM Smart Device

By on November 12, 2008

HTC has announced the launch of the first dual-mode WiMax/GSM Windows Mobile device in the MAX 4G, also known as the T8920.

The device features a Qualcomm ESM7206A chipset running at 528 MHz, 256 MB of ROM, 288 MB of RAM, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 8GB internal flash memory, 3.8 inch WVGA touchscreen display, Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, GPS transceiver, VGA front camera for VOIP based video calling with a 3.2 megapixel main camera featuring autofocus, video recorder, flash, FM radio, and accelerometer.

The device also features a triband GSM radio with 900/1800/1900 support along with a triband WiMax radio configured for access on the 2.5/2.6/2.7 GHz bands.  The aforementioned radio specifications would make it partially compatible with T-Mobile for GSM service in the US, with the WiMax radio being compatible with Sprint XOHM service which is commercially available in Baltimore, Maryland. 

The device is slated for launch in Russia as a part of the recently launched Yota WiMax network.

    This is great for the WiMAX in general but looks like us in US might have to wait a while or maybe wait for other WiMAX handsets from other manufacturers.
