Evo 4G in enough stock to go back online
Sprint today said that it would finally return the Evo 4G to its online store next week. The company still says it's encountering shortages but is comfortable with expanding the Android phone's sales once more. It still costs $200 on a two-year contract with Sprint's WiMAX-supporting $80 plan.
The company had initially sold the Evo 4G online but quickly had to pull it from the store as repeated shortages were hurting its ability to fulfill demand at retail shops. Until the Droid X and Droid 2 arrived, it was the most feature-laden Android device with a 4.3-inch screen, its namesake 4G, a front camera for video chat and both 720p playback and recording.
Sprint has never said how many Evo 4G phones it has shipped, but its sales were so strong that it reversed three years of shrinking customers in one season.

One very small problem with this: there are no numbers. Just how many EVO phones were sold? Sprint didn't say. Relating the EVO sales to other phones sold by Sprint means essentially nothing. We need real numbers to compare the EVO launch to, say, the Droid, original iPhone, iPhone 3G, etc. Maybe I'm just cynical, but, it seems to me that, if the numbers were really good, Sprint would have trumpeted them. The fact that they had no real numbers suggests that the numbers are not that good compared to other new smartphones, but I could be wrong.
