Has the EVO Shift 4G hit the FCC?

tagged CDMA, EVO Shift 4G, fcc, HTC, HTC Knight, wimax

Remember the other day when we told you that the HTC Knight was actually called the HTC EVO Shift 4G? The name info came from a trademark filing made by HTC in early October, and now it seems that the same device is now passing through the FCC’s labs with support for both CDMA and WiMAX.

At this point it seems fairly certain that this device is headed to Verizon, and that it’s the same HTC Knight/EVO Shift we alluded to the other day. It is possible this is some new mystery device, but if I were a betting man I would be putting my money that it’s the same device. Stay tuned.

Android devices are driving development and carrier release of 4G and LTE networks across the US. As it turns out, the Motorola Droid is the top device in use, followed by the HTC Evo with 12% of all Android traffic.

The following chart shows the different Android devices and the share they have for wireless traffic. Something to note is that 16% of all traffic has the ability to download and surf the net from the device. Also, most of these devices are on Sprint’s network, but T-Mobile is following closely behind, and may move ahead with the launch of 4G.

HTC Merge Seen with Cellebrite – May Be Launching Soon?

by Jesse Bauer on Nov 16th 2010, 11:47pm
tagged Android, Android smartphones, cellebrite, HTC, HTC Merge, launch, vent, Verizon, verizon droid

The HTC Merge is seen in the Cellebrite list above. This can only mean that the HTC Merge is going to be launching fairly soon. We reported here that the HTC was seen on Verizon’s system, as well as possibly getting launched on November 18th at a special Verizon “Droid” red carpet event.

The Cellebrite program is an application used to transfer existing data from one device to another (typically used by carriers) such as contacts, images, and data.

We’ll wait and see if this Thursday is when we’ll actually see the HTC Merge available.
