Remember just a few days back when the HTC MAX 4G AKA the world's very first GSM / WiMAX handset was announced? Well, some pretty sweet footage of the device -- which boasts 8GB of flash memory, GPS, WiFi, triband EDGE and WIMAX support -- has surfaced, and we have to say it doesn't look too shabby. The video's in Russian -- because you can only get the phone on Scartel's Yota network in... you guessed it, Russia, but from the sounds of it, the demonstrator is stoked. Check it out after the break.

HTC MAX 4G officially announced, world's first GSM / WiMAX phone

Hey Sprint, you listening? Granted, GSM doesn't do Sprint a whole lot of good in the States, but swapping a CDMA radio into HTC's first WiMAX effort here would make for a downright mighty response to the Touch HD. The previously-seen T8920 has turned out to be the MAX 4G, an 800 x 480 monster with 8GB of Flash on board, two cameras, an FM radio, GPS, WiFi, triband EDGE, and -- most importantly -- WiMAX support, making it the first GSM / WiMAX handset anywhere in the world. It'll be launching on Scartel's Yota network in Russia, and if you have friends cool enough to have a MAX 4G of their own, calls between the two of y'all will automatically be routed over the WiMAX airwaves using VoIP. A launch date hasn't been announced, but unless you're in Russia, there's probably not much point in even bothering to lust after this one.
