All you need to know to get going.Get started

Welcome! Get Your Device ReadySprint is committed to developing technologies that give you the ability to get what you want when you want it, faster than ever before. This booklet introduces you to the basics of getting started with Sprint and your new HTC EVO™ 4G. As you’ll quickly discover, it’s easy to customize with apps from Android Market™, browse the Web at 3G and 4G speeds, send email, text, or picture messages, watch movies or TV, get turn-by-turn driving directions, or connect up to eight Wi-Fi devices to the Internet with Sprint Mobile Hotspot. Because there’s less waiting, and more doing, on the Now Network.™The services described in this guide may require a subscription to a service plan and/or may incur additional charges. Not all services will work on all devices. Coverage is not available everywhere. Sprint 4G coverage is not available in all markets. See www.sprint.com/coverage for more details.
