1. What’s this for?
Your HTC EVO™ 4G comes with the latest Android
platform — Android 2.2 (Froyo). This means that you can
now enjoy all the features and updates that’ll make your

This “What’s new” guide covers some of the changes
we’ve made from the previous phone platform known
as Android 2.1 (Eclair). You may have received your HTC

upgraded over-the-air or through your local Sprint store.
Now, let’s walk you through the latest features and
changes on your phone.
