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.
