The HTC Evo 4G LTE was due to land on Sprint later this week, but we heard yesterday that some of HTC’s devices which include the new HTC Evo 4G LTE are being held up by US customs.
The HTC devices are being held by customs after a recent ITC ruling found that HTC had infringed on Apple’s patents, although the latest devices are expected to launch with a workaround.
The U.S. availability of the HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed. HTC is working to resolve this issue and appreciates your patience as they work to get products into Sprint channels. We can’t provide specific timing for product availability at this time and we appreciate your patience as HTC works to get products on store shelves as soon as possible.
Delivery of products for pre-order are on hold and Sprint will provide a ship date as soon as possible. Sprint will maintain the promise for the preorder customers that they will be among the first to receive their HTC EVO 4G LTE units.
There are no details as yet on exactly how long the new HTC Evo 4G LTE will be delayed, as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know.
