Still fawning over the HTC Touch HD? Well, meet its bigger, badder brother: the HTC MAX 4G.

Just announced today, HTC’s newest beast is the world’s first GSM/WiMax handset. If you’re thinking to yourself, “Aw man, a GSM/WiMax handset would be pretty much useless in the states”, you’re completely right – and HTC seems to agree. Like the Touch HD, we’ll be missing out on this one. Russia, with their significantly farther along WiMax network, will be the only ones getting it for the time being – no word yet when they’ll actually get it, however.

So what are we missing out on? Check out the specs after the jump.
