If you were considering transplanting to The Motherland in order to get a hold of the gorgeous WiMAX-enabled HTC MAX 4G, be warned, coverage may be an issue. Obviously WiMAX technology is still in its infancy, even over in the United States where Sprint’s XOHM is still gathering momentum. Still, it’s a worthy evolution of the Touch HD with a stunning 3.8 inch, 800×480 WVGA screen, GPS, Wi-Fi, TouchFLO 3D, and a 528 MHz processor. It’s a shame that the networks aren’t quite up to snuff yet, but maybe such awesome hardware will give carriers outside of Russia the impetus to get a move-on.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
