In record time, programmers are rooting devices that are not yet for public sale. Sprint’s WiMAX Evo 4G is the latest to receive the treatment, and several posters on XDA Developers have also put an Android 2.2 FroYo ROM onto the super-phone.

For the full thread, head over to XDA Developers and follow the progress that “toastcfh” and “maejrep” are making. At present, MMS, the camera, and 4G (kind of defeating the phone’s purpose!) are not working on the ROM, but I have confidence in these developers.
