Verizon iPhone in 2012, HTC Evo 4G on Sprint, and Android beating iPhone

Last week a lot happened in the world of mobile phones. First, we learned that 2012 is the year that we could potentially see a Verizon iPhone. AT&T and Apple signed their exclusivity contract for 5 years, so Apple can’t offer the iPhone on any other carrier until 2012. If you were expecting there to be a Verizon iPhone launch this year, you’ll find yourself pretty disappointed.

The HTC Evo 4G phone is coming to Sprint this summer, most likely in June. Sprint held a contest where 10 lucky winners will be getting their HTC Evo 4G before launch date. The HTC Evo 4G has some great specs which include a 8.0 mega-pixel camera on the back and a 1.3 mega-pixel front facing camera.

We also learned through a research done by NPD, that Google’s Android operating system outsold Apple’s iPhone operating system in the first quarter of 2010. To be fair though, Google has been offering multiple Android phones on all the major carriers while Apple has been just restricting their iPhone to a single carrier, AT&T.
