Engadget was lucky enough to get their hands on a Samsung SCH-M830 — Samsung’s current WIMAX and HSDPA device. It’s no HTC MAX 4G, but it’s certainly flashy enough with its 3.3 inch screen and cool user interface (powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, of course).

It’s a safe bet that it’ll be living exclusively in Korea for a while but we’re happy to see more and more WIMAX phones being made — come on, North America, step up!

What we all thought was going to be the T-Mobile Shadow II turns out to be the oddly named Shadow 2009.

Though the first Shadow was somewhat of a ground-breaking device with a flashy and unique UI, the Shadow 2009 seems to be somewhat lacking. First of all – no 3G support! It does come in pretty colours…

In case you’ve forgotten (I dare you to tell me you’re from Russia but have forgotten!), the HTC Max 4G will be available for the Russian WiMAX network “Scartel” (Yota) on November 26th it’ll be the worlds first ever integrated GSM / WiMAX handset. The network will enable a rich multimedia experience and a high quality telephone connection. It’s currently sitting on the HTC website just waiting its turn.

An official press release will full specs for this baby right here!

As promised, we now have a date for the release of the super cool HTC MAX 4G: November 26th!

Why the excitement? Check this out: 800 x 480 screen, 8GB of on-board Flash, two cameras, an FM radio, GPS, WiFi, triband EDGE and… WiMAX SUPPORT! This will officially be the first GSM/WiMAX handset anywhere in the world!

So, what’s the catch? Oh sure, it’ll be available starting with November 26th, but only in Russia’s Yota network. So when do we get it? Huh, Bell? Telus? I’m looking at you, Rogers.

Thank you, HTC gods, you have appeased me! Well, alright – mostly appeased me. I’ve been counting on HTC to deliver me a device to repair my crushed North American HTC Touch HD hopes and dreams and this might very well be salvation: 800 x 480 screen, 8GB of on-board Flash, two cameras, an FM radio, GPS, WiFi, triband EDGE and… WiMAX SUPPORT! This will officially be the first GSM/WiMAX handset anywhere in the world!

Reports have the HTC MAX 4G launching firs on Scartel’s Yota network in Russia where users will be able to make calls between MAX 4G devices over the WiMAX airwaves (using VoIP) automatically!

There’s crazy talk about this only being available in Russia… ever. And I’m going to dismiss that outright. Here’s hoping!

WindowsMobile Cool will be sure to keep you updated on this bad boy, you can count on it.
