HTC EVO 4G has more than lived up to our expectations that it would be one of the most anticipated technology products of the year,” said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product development for Sprint. “We are working closely with our partners at HTC to increase the supply and get EVO 4G into the hands of everyone who wants one as quickly as possible.”
he HTC Evo 4G is the first 4G Android smartphone, and was welcomed with mixed reviews. The device features some high-end specs, including an 8-megapixel camera and a large 4.3-inch display (4.5/5 in PC World’s review), but the limited availability of Sprint’s 4G coverage drew criticism toward the device.
The compant has announced that HTC Evo had the biggest sales ever on a launch day for sprint.
Sprint doesn’t tell us how many it sold.It just says, “the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on launch day was three times on the Samsung Instinct and Palm pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined.”
Analysts estimated Palm sold between 35,000 and 60,000 pres during its opening weekend. If we estimate Instinct sales of 35,000, then it’s possible Sprint sold between 210,000 and 285,000 HTC handsets.
Not too shabby, but it pales in comparison to the big launches for the iPhone.
