HTC is extremely proud of the new EVO 4G LTE and wants to give consumers an inside look at what went into designing this soft touch, hairline finished, kickstand beast of a phone. It’s a neat look into the design process and shows that they don’t just slap on any old chassis and call it a day.

Prices and plans will of course vary depending on carrier, so do your research and see which is best for you.
