Electricpig: HTC has unveiled its much-rumoured “4G” phone in Russia – the world’s first handset to integrate WiMax and Wi-Fi cellular connectivity.

The manufacturer’s handset, the Max 4G, sports 8021.11b/g Wi Fi, tri-band GSM/GPRS/Edge and mobile WiMax. It also supports Bluetooth 2.0 plus it has built-in GPS and it supports VoIP calls.

It was developed for Russia’s Yota WiMax network that operates in Moscow and St Petersburg by local telecommunications company, Scartel.

The monster list of features continues with a 3.8inch, 480 x 800 touchscreen display, Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, an accelerometer that auto-rotates the display when the phone’s turned through 90° plus a proximity sensor that turns off the display when you hold the phone up to your ear.

    I watched one of the videos (though it was in Russian and I didn’t understand much) adn it looked quite smooth for a Windows Mobile powered device. You could watch TV many channels on it and it looked pretty good. I don’t think you can do that on 3G networks, at least not at that speed and video quality. WiMAX is a winner when it comes to wireless video applications.
