Earlier this month we were informed by a source that the HTC EVO 4G LTE could be hitting Sprint on May 18th, and now that date is making the rounds once again. The folks at Good and EVO are reporting that a "reliable source" has told them that the EVO 4G LTE is due to launch on May 18th, and the site has also gotten hold of some images of the marketing materials that Sprint will be using to build excitement for the device. The signage is expected to begin hitting Sprint stores on May 14th and touts various features of the EVO 4G LTE, including Beats Audio and its camera.

As far as official launch details for the EVO 4G LTE go, Sprint has only said that it'll be arriving in the second quarter, with pre-orders set to kick off on May 7th. Like we noted in our first report of the May 18th launch rumor, Sprint has kept its pre-order periods rather short as of late, and when you combine that detail with today's leak, a May 18th debut for the EVO 4G LTE becomes an even stronger possibility. Now we wait for Sprint to spill the official launch date beans. How many of you are thinking about picking up an EVO 4G LTE?
