Here’s some fresh eye candy of the upcoming HTC T8290 that should be en route to Russian WiMAX provider Yota. This sucker clocks in at nearly 14 MBps – a droolworthy data speed for many of us. Paired up with a killer screen, this is going to be one hot tamale. Known specs include…

  • 3.8″ 800×480 WVGA LCD
  • GSM+WiMax
  • 802.11g WiFi
  • Bluetooth 2.0

So, is Sprint going to get this on XOHM any time soon? Probably not, but we can dream and sigh wistfully.
