HTC, along with Russian carrier Scartel have just unveiled the world’s first integrated GSM/WiMAX handset — the HTC Max 4G. The new handset has taken plenty of design cues from the HTC Touch HD and has a solid feature set. To begin with, the Max 4G has built-in support for WiMax, and it takes advantage of that support. When calls are made in-network, they are automatically switched over to the WiMax network and handled as a VoIP call.

Other features of the Max 4G include a 3.8-inch touchscreen display with an 800 x 480 resolution, GPS, WiFi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, 8GB of built-in flash memory, an accelerometer, a 5-megapixel camera with a second VGA quality camera on the front, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an FM radio.
