Latest HTC Max 4G: World’s first GSM-WiMax mobile
Talk about high tech gadgets, HTC is certainly on a role. For those who are addicted and just can’t stop from craving on the latest technology, HTC has announced the world’s first GSM/WiMAX headset. Unforunately, this may mean you will need to brush up your Russian, the device will be available only in Russia (at least for now) on the Yota Mobile WiMAX network.

With the addition of a SIM card, the MAX 4G can make voice calls over most GSM networks which makes it a very useful mobile to have for those visiting Europe.
The HTC MAX 4G features the same 3.8 inch, 800×480 WVGA touch screen display that is used in the HTC Touch HD. With the integrated GPS receiver you will always know exactly where you are, while the WiFi and WiMAX will ensure you have high-speed wireless data (you will be able to get proper data speeds of 70Mb/sec!).

I’m not surprised that it’s only in Russia. In Poland we had many plans with WiMax and it simply didn’t work out.
