LAS VEGAS — Sprint Nextel Corp. on Tuesday officially unveiled the first U.S. phone able to tap into super-high speeds as the carrier hopes to capitalize on its lead in next-generation wireless technology.
The phone, called the Evo, is made by HTC Corp. Sprint did not provide pricing information on the device or service plans, and the company maintained its time frame of a summer launch.
The Overland Park, Kan., carrier needs the Evo to succeed, which would provide a spark to its early fourth-generation, or 4G, ambitions.
