New smartphones, faster networks and unveiled alliances will be at the center of next week’s CTIA Wireless 2010 convention in Las Vegas, which runs from March 23-25. Big companies ranging from Microsoft to Verizon will demonstrate new devices, and featured speakers include AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson and “Avatar” director James Cameron.
For many attendees, though, the prospect of an Academy Award-winning director discussing the virtues of mobile technology could be eclipsed by potentially paradigm-shifting announcements by wireless carriers.
The rumor-mill suggests that Sprint will unveil the first smartphone capable of running on an ultra-speedy 4G network via WiMax technology. “Our checks indicate that Sprint will launch a CDMA/WiMax handset at CTIA called the HTC Supersonic,” Macquarie analyst Philip Cusick wrote in a research note, as quoted by Reuters on March 17. Other analysts are apparently backing that prediction.
