Sprint-HTC event (EVO ONE announcement): Liveblog

Today is the big day for all Sprint and HTC lovers, as the companies have organized a get-together, where they'll be announcing their latest collaboration. Now, it doesn't take a genius to tell that these guys will probably introduce us to Sprint's version of the HTC One X - a device that some believe to be called EVO ONE. According to the available unofficial information, the phone will remain true to the One X in terms of specs, being equipped with a 4.7" HD screen and 8MP camera. What would be interesting to see, though, is whether the EVO ONE will have LTE and a dual-core processor, or a Tegra 3 SoC and no LTE. Our guess is it will have LTE and Snapdragon S4, similarly to AT&T's version, but we hope we'll know for sure soon enough.

Stay tuned, guys and gals, as the event is going to begin at: 5:30PM Eastern, 4:30PM Central and 2:30PM Pacific Time!
