HTC has published a teaser web page that strongly suggests it will be unveiling a new handset on January 6. The site has three statements: “The First 4G Phone Ever,” “The First 4G Phone at T-Mobile,” and “The First to 4G, Again — Find out January 6.” The Verizon Wireless press conference is scheduled for January 6 at the Consumer Electronics Show, where it is expected to debut Evo-equipped smartphones.

The teaser site allows you to sign up to receive an alert as soon as the announcement is made.    You can also take a tour of the HTC EVO 4G, whose tag line is ‘you can do anything when your phone can do everything’.  The improved speeds of the 4G network will bring a lot of internet power to these new handsets.  The most interesting, and most highly touted, of these features is definitely the ability to use the phone as a wifi hotspot.  This means that these HTC phones could bring 4G speed to all of your mobile devices, no matter where you are.  Faster speeds also means “streamability” from your handset camera to the web, and the ability to use video conferencing features without an outside WiFi.  The future of mobile networks seems to be just around the corner.
