HTC Knight/EVO Shift 4G Passes FCC, to feature Android 2.2 and Possible Dual-Core Processor
A new CDMA/WiMAX handset has hit the FCC. Use a bit of deductive reasoning and we can assume that the unnamed device will be headed to Sprint, the best guess being that this thing is the HTC Knight we have heard so much about lately. You know, the HTC Knight that is also supposedly going to end up with the name HTC EVO Shift 4G.
And while on the subject, BGR has acquired some new firsthand info on what we can expect from the handset. Their source claims it will feature a 3.7-inch screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and 4G capabilities. It will ship with Android 2.2 and may even feature a dual-core processor at launch (for now it seems to carry a 1GHz chipset). Looks like the phone will be a modified Desire Z-style handset for Sprint. Word is also that the phone won’t be treated as a flagship device, which makes you scratch your head over just what Sprint might be working on that could be considered such.
