Sprint ad inadvertently confirms white HTC EVO 4G LTE

On Wednesday, we told you about a leaked document showing Sprint's warehouse inventory. The document revealed a white version of the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and although the carrier hasn't issued a statement about this variant of its new flagship phone, it did say a thousand words about it. Ok, that's confusing. Let us explain. As you know, a picture is supposedly worth a thousand words and apparently by mistake, Sprint showed a picture of a white HTC EVO 4G LTE in an ad on its own website.

The ad, promoting a $100 service credit for those who buy an HTC EVO 4G LTE or the aging Samsung Epic 4G Touch and port their number over to the new device, features a picture of a white HTC EVO 4G LTE. Let's see, it looks like a boxes of white HTC EVO 4G LTE units seem to be sitting in a Sprint warehouse while the carrier is even using the phone to promote a special deal. It sure seems like Sprint will soon be giving buyers of it's flagship model a choice in colors.

If you are planning to purchase the HTC EVO 4G LTE soon and would prefer the phone in white, you might as well wait a bit to see if the white variant is finally announced. We've already brought out the old chestnut about a picture being worth a thousand words, but here's another one: where there is smoke there is fire.

Yeah. They do that with other models too. But the model number and listing if for the white one. So that's good news (for me and those who want a white one)

Would've been cool if this was available at launch. Ah, the pains of being an early-adopter.

Who cares about this kind of stuff? Not everyone is interested in looking like they've got an iPhone. Oh wait, they aren't all white either. Anyone paying a premium for device or service for this and then whining about their cell bill should just be quiet,
