Leaked: HTC's WiMAX enabled T8290

Leaked: HTC's WiMAX enabled T8290

A new model that looks like the HTC Touch HD with WiMAX capability

While the world drools over touchscreen phones with Wi-Fi, HTC has plans to go a step beyond. Leaked photos of the HTC model T8290 indicate WiMAX support is in the pipeline. The model looks like the HTC Touch HD with an added WiMAX capability as its defining feature.


See that inverted human figure on the back of the phone? That's the logo of Russia based Mobile WiMAX technology service provider Yota.

So far the following specs were leaked:

- 3.8-inch WVGA 800x480 LCD display
- WiMAX & WiFi (802.11g)
- Bluetooth 2.0





With mobile WiMAX on the phone, speeds of over 14mbps can be expected over a stable WiMAX network. But do we have WiMAX yet? We're yet to see even 3G operational in India.

Being the first ever WiMAX phone -- would take it to where even not many notebooks plan to go; expect the T8290 to be priced phenomenally if it rolls out in other countries.

I think the relevant point is that if WIMAX enabled handsets are goin to be a reality why spend so much establishing a costlier 3G network. Might as well set up wimax rit now...

the details disclosed here are not really luring. Customers would want better detail in order to make a calculated decision. Nevertheless, it's good to know things do get leaked out pretty fast. :) As for 3G in India, it's going to take another year or two to have it operational.
