Release Date and Price Confirmed for HTC EVO 4G Phone

Sprint has confirmed the price and release date for its first 4G phone, the HTC EVO.

The official release date is June 4 with a confirmed price of $199 after $100 mail-in rebate. The new 4G phone will offer mobile users the ability to play multiplayer games on the move, view full Flash video files and live media streaming with the frustrating and often lengthy buffering times associated with 3G phones.

Sprint says the HTC EVO 4G will ship with its own mobile You Tube player for high quality video.
