Posted: 19 Mar 2011 03:39 AM PDT

CTIA 2011 isn’t that far off and it appears that some of the announcements that Sprint had planned of making at CTIA have been revealed before the event, probably to the chagrin of Sprint of course, so let’s find out what devices have been revealed.

According to an article over on the Boy Genius Report, their sources have revealed that Sprint will announce the HTC EVO 3D smartphone, the HTC EVO View 4G, and the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Motorola Xoom, which we have previously heard about.

Along with the revealed announcements comes some juicy specs on said devices…the HTC EVO 3D will sport a 4.3-inch qHD Autosterioscopic 3D display, 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor, two rear facing 5 megapixel cameras, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, dedicated camera button, 1080p and 720p video output, Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, 4GB RAM, 1GB ROM, (however apparently those could reverse) and Blockbuster 3D on demand and YouTube 3D apps.

Next the HTC EVO View 4G smartphone will sport a 7-inch capacitive touch screen, aluminium unibody, 5 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, DNLA, HDMI out, HTC Sense UI, HTC Scribe with pen support optional, and will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

As for the Motorola Xoom for Sprint, the Android 3.0 Honeycomb device will be the same as the Verizon version and will support WiMAX as we’ve previously heard. Other devices apparently to be offered by Sprint include a WiMAX and a WiFi version of the RIM BlackBerry Playbook, and the Samsung Rant 3, which is apparently a 3G messaging handset.

So there it is, do you think Sprint will have anything left to announce at CTIA 2011? Perhaps they have managed to keep something under wraps for the event, guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The HTC Thunderbolt has been at the centre of the mobile space grabbing all the attention, mainly due to the long wait for it to be released, and now that is over, but have you ever wanted to know what inspires designers like those at HTC to come up with the HTC Thunderbolt?

Well HTC have now put out a video in which their designers chat about the Android 2.2 Froyo HTC Thunderbolt and what excited them about the device, and we have that video for your viewing pleasure below courtesy of the Boy Genius Report.

The video called The HTC Thunderbolt Inspired By You, lasts almost five minutes and lets the viewer meet those designers behind the HTC Thunderbolt as they talk about such things as DNLA, 4G LTE and of course the inspiration for the Thunderbolt.

There probably isn’t anything in the video that’s not already known about the Android device, but you do get a quick glimpse at the design drawings of the handset, besides, it’s nice to see who the people are behind the device that has everyone excited.

Anyway I’ll leave it there for you to hit that play button and check out the footage, which apparently is the first of a series HTC will be putting out…enjoy.
