Sprint announces EVO 3D

Spint today announced June 23, 2011 as the upcoming release dates for the new HTC EVO 3D smartphone and the HTC EVO View tablet. 

Equipped the dual-core Snapdrogon processor, the EVO 3D is a glasses free mobile device that can capture and display images in 3D.  In addition, the HTC 3D comes with dual 5 megapixel cameras, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system, and a 4.3 inche qHD 3D display.

The EVO View is the first 4G tablet to hit the market, utilizes a more powerul 1.5Gb version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor, and runs atop the same Android Gingerbread operating system as the EVO 3D.  Equipped with a 7 inch screen that displays HD quality images and videos, the EVO View will be available for a limited time with the HTC Digital Scribe pen.  The Digital Scribe is regularly priced at $79.99. 

Pre-orders for both units will be at Sprint stores with the purchase of a $50 Sprint gift card.  The card is good for one unit per card.  Sprint's Premier customers will have the opportunity to purchase the EVO 3D or EVO View online beginning June 21, 2011.  They only need to surf over to Sprint's website, click on "Show me my rewards," then navigate to "Sprint Premier Community" for further instructions.

It appears this summer could be shaping up to be another battle of the smartphone manufacturers and wireless carriers as they scramble for subscribers.
