htcevo1FRAMINGHAM - LAS VEGAS — Sprint Nextel launched the HTC EVO 4G smartphone at CTIA today, using the name EVO instead of Supersonic , for the Android-based device.

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said the device will appear in the summer, and said it can run on Sprint’s WiMax network “but is a terrific smartphone even at 3G speeds.”

The extent of WiMax availability could be critical, according to some analysts, but Sprint promoted the EVO on its own merits, noting its 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

The carrier demonstrated its HD-capable video camcorder and a 1.3 megapixel camera. It features a 4.3-in. display and a built-in kickstand to be used to stand up the device for viewing.

Sprint said the phone is 4.8 in. x 2.6 in. x .5 in. and weighs 6 ounces. Pricing was not announced.
