CES 2011: HTC Announces Their First 4G Android Phone for AT&T, The Inspire 4G

Surprise! We knew the HTC EVO 4G would be gettin’ a brand new twin on another carrier — we just thought Verizon’s Thunderbolt would be the first out the door. AT&T just went ahead and jumped the gun a bit, using their pre-CES 2011 Developer Summit to announce a 4.3″, HTC-made monster of their very own: the Inspire 4G.

Here’s what we know so far:

4.3″ Super LCD Display

Android 2.2 running the “next-generation” of HTC’s customized Sense UI (complete with a free “Find My Phone”-type feature, which can locate your handset on a map, make it fire off sounds to make it easier to find, or remotely wipe all the data off the device on command)

8 megapixel rear camera

1 Ghz CPU
