The HTC Supersonic is not new to us by any means. The code name was leaked with an early Android 2.0 build of the HTC Hero. Apparently, the HTC Supersonic will come to life Sprint’s network and will be the first Android powered phone to be equipped with a WiMax chip. A tipster has informed Engadget that the HTC Supersonic is “Snapdragon fast”, features a 4.3 inch display, features a kickstand on the back (similar to the Verizon HTC Imagio), and will be running on Android 2.1 with HTC Sense. The HTC Supersonic would not be the first WiMax equipped handset for HTC. Last year they released the WM6.1 HTC Max 4G in Russia. It’s nice to see HTC still leasing the way in bringing 4G capable handsets to market, but due to Sprint’s limited 4G coverage, I’m not sure how many happy customers they would really have.

Features:

• Codename is “Supersonic” — a name we’ve heard at least once before.
• Feels a lot like you’d expect an Android-powered HD2 to feel thanks to a 4.3-inch non-AMOLED display and a svelte shell. (For reference, the HD2 is 11mm thick, but we don’t have exact dimensions here.)
• It’s got a kickstand on the back. This wouldn’t be a first for HTC; the Imagio on Verizon has one, for example.
• Runs Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI.
• Our tipster saw it in white; production devices could be available in different colors, of course, but white seems like it’d be an intriguing choice for a phone of the HD2’s size and shape.
• The phone’s software stack is buggy enough right now to suggest that we’re not looking at a release any time soon, but we don’t have details on the projected launch window.
• It’s fast — Snapdragon fast, it seems, though our tipster can’t confirm the processor under the hood.
