HTC Evo 4G becomes Sprint's best selling phone

HTC Evo, which went on sale Friday, June 4, ushering in the 4G era in mobile connectivity, broke sales record for Sprint on launch day.

While Sprint hasn't released precise figures, it claims that Friday sales of HTC EVO 4G marked the largest quantity of a single phone sold in one day ever for Sprint - the record was previously held by both Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre.

The margin by which Evo 4G sales surpassed those of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre was even more impressive with the total number of Evo devices sold on launch day being three times the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined.

With consumers eager to sample the 4G experience, temporary shortages of the device are being experienced at some of the 22,000 sales locations across the United States, including Sprint retail stores, national retail partners including RadioShack, Best Buy and Walmart, and indirect dealers.

Sprint is the only national carrier offering wireless 4G service today in 33 markets. Sprint 4G delivers download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.

Sprint 4G covers 43 million people and expects to have up to 120 million people covered by the end of 2010.

Sprint currently offers 4G service in 33 markets: Georgia - Atlanta, Milledgeville; Hawaii - Honolulu, Maui; Idaho - Boise; Illinois - Chicago; Maryland - Baltimore; Missouri - Kansas City; Nevada - Las Vegas; North Carolina - Charlotte, Greensboro, (along with High Point and Winston-Salem), Raleigh (along with Cary, Chapel Hill and Durham); Oregon - Portland, Salem; Pennsylvania - Harrisburg, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Reading, York; Texas - Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Killeen/Temple, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Waco, Wichita Falls; Washington - Bellingham, Seattle.

The 4G standard stipulates peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbps for up-link and down-link while the client physically moves at high speeds relative to the station, and 1 Gbps while client and station are in relatively fixed positions.

Sprint claims peak data transfer speeds of 6 Mbps with its network yet brands its network as 4G.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
