HTC EVO 3D and EVO Design 4G getting Ice Cream Sandwich by early August HTC EVO 3D and EVO Design 4G owners who haven’t bothered with custom ROMs should be glad to know that they will be getting the second latest version of Android very soon. According to an official announcement from Sprint, the two Android phones will be receiving Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich sometime in early August – which hopefully translates to less than a month away. While it’s not Jelly Bean, I guess it’s better than being stuck on Gingerbread.

The update to Ice Cream Sandwich will introduce a bunch of new features for the phone including a brand new UI, Face Unlock, a redesigned camera app, Google Chrome, an improved keyboard, an updated Gmail app, and more. Let’s hope Sprint and HTC can deliver the goods next month. Stay tuend for more details.

HTC: High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) is a Taiwanese manufacturer of smartphones and tablets. The company started as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) that was building devices for others, but went on making HTC-branded smartphones based mostly on Microsoft's Windows operating system (OS) for mobile. In 2009, it began to shift its core focus away from Windows mobile devices to Android-based ones. In 2010 the company went back to the Windows Phone eco-system.

Sprint: Sprint is one of the major wireless carriers in the USA. It uses a mix of CDMA, WiMax and LTE Networks as the backbone of its infrastructure. The company's network is also used by third parties and mobile virtual operators like Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and Assurance Wireless. Sprint has about 55M subscribers.
