The HTC Supersonic is the HTC EVO 4G. That’s the news coming out of CTIA courtesy of Engadget. The EVO 4G looks like an HTC HD2 with the Android version of Sense UI. The phone sports a WVGA, 4.3-inch TFT touchscreen;a Snapdragon 1GHz processor, 1GB of memory, and 512MB of RAM. By the time you add an 8 megapixel camera with flash, 720p video, 1.3 megapixel camera in the front, HDMI output, and an included 8GB microSD card, you’ve got a monster of a phone.
Sprint unveiled the EVO today at CTIA. The phone will launch this summer on its 4G network with Android 2.1 level Sense UI. The phone will support up to eight connections on WiMAX, meaning the phone can become a Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices nearby.

I've tried 5+ times to buy the nexus one phone but always got google checkout errors. Guess it was a sign! Hello EVO! Here's a good review http://bit.ly/d8fKfh
Looks amazing
I will be getting the Desire though.

Would be interested in battery-life numbers. With the plethora of features, how long can you use them all before the battery goes out?
Looks awesome on paper though.

I want to know if Sprint can get Sprint TV working on this phone, where the hell is V Cast on the Verizon Android phones?
I'm very excited about the upcoming release of the Evo 4G here in Minnesota, someone has compiled a list of hands-on reviews of the HTC Evo 4G,
