No, it will not come this month, IMO

I think Sprint is doing so bad financially that they will probably release this phone to attract new customers or lock the ones that are already with them. It won't surprise me if they try to make people getting this phone to get on the "Simply Everything Plan" for $99.00 like they did with the instinct.

ya right, i wish.....
im staying out of contract with 2 lines so that i can bargain with them when the touch pro comes out

Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. It may be that the Diamond is coming to AT&T I suppose, but it seems doubtful to be coming to Sprint so soon.

not entirely true, since the CDMA Diamond and CDMA Raphael has already gone through FCC. Its up to Sprint now, who probably wont be making any fast decisions just yet, as there still dealing with a lot of **** lately. As a sprint customer I'm starting to feel worried about there future. >_> i just hope that the Korean merger well be a success. And not some cooperate flip-flop.
P.S- i could careless about the Diamond, i want that Raphael phone now!

Amen!!! I'm waiting for the touch pro myself.. I don't care too much for a phone without the keyboard, and about the internal 4gb I can care less too. I'll buy a bigger sd card if I have too and move my contents around. But we need that phone.. my mogul is good but a touch pro would be better.

I love these threads

Less doubt
Well I guess there is less doubt that it will happen!!! Check this report on Engadget!!

What do you mean "not entirely true"? It is completely true: Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. You're right, it is up to Sprint; but that has nothing to do with my post. Clearing the FCC doesn't mean the devices are both already ready for launch.

promising news for VZ / Sprint
Well it seems that it is getting closer to becoming reality!!

Reports I've seen show that Sprint's version isn't going to have a microSD slot.

Yes, now it does seem they've changed their original release order. The specs are fantastic on the Sprint models; I can't wait for these.
But "Herman", Sprint? HERMAN? Really?

Just as I was getting to like my Mogul after all thone phone swaps. Good thing I timed my activation for my latest swap to co-incide with the Sept 2nd date to make it easier this time. Hope the phone makes that date.

I guess its set for Sept

got this from Engadget!!! It looks promising!!!

Sprint Employees should have demo units in stores in the next couple weeks...
(I was told by a close friend who manages that the demos are inbound but sadly enough, he had no info on the Touch Pro )

Couple general HD2 questions.

Can't wait to get my HD2 on the 24th.. called a few Walmarts and almost got one today. Anyway.. questions...
1st.. Do you guys think Android 2.1 will be fully up and rolling on the HD2 anytime soon?
2nd.. How does Tmobile's 3g compare to Sprint's Evdo rev a. or At&t's 3g network?
Can't Wait!!
My Sprint Palm Pre is great.. but a little too limited for me.. was using the Vogue.. then the Diamond before the Pre..
It's all about Capacative.. makes all the difference .. in my opinion.

From what I've seen in Vegas, T-Mobile's 3G is choice, followed by at&t, the followed by the rest.

NO. It'll be a while before it's fully working. Don't buy the HD2 because you're thinking of installing Android on it.

sorry.. shoulda investigated a bit more.. kinda dissapointing.. I read about the very functional version for the touch pro2 so I assumed it was only a matter of a short time for the HD2 version

It took them a couple years to get the touchpro2 android as functional as it is. It will probably be a little easier on the hd2, but expect it to take atleast another year before we have a android port as fuctional as the touchpro version.

someone got a hold of an EVO...

Some guy over at androidcentral got a hold of an evo and is answering questions, http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/12667-i-have-evo.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7bwoYK2p8c
Hot damn.

ohhhh man i cannot wait, hopefully parents will let me buy this...

Evo forums?
May THEY would like to know?
Please stop cluttering the CDMA Hero forums, we just got this seperate forum in the last two to three weeks now.
And having to wait for months to get our own seperate forums, it would be nice for the posts to be about just that....no?
Thanks,
Bubba.
P.S. And I know what is being said, EVERYONE with a hero is gettin a EVO, NO THEY'RE NOT.
Maybe everyone in ALL the other forums are gettin a EVO also, BUT you're NOT posting in ALL the forums are you?

His neocore score is 24.7 fps on the EVO. I find that troubling because my Hero pulls that off when running at 767 Mhz.

Actually, all the reports I've read say it has 1 GB internal storage so I guess he could be correct. I'm more worried about the fps score on neocore. The storage problem is fixed with an sdcard upgrade.

I'm thinking once the ROM is torn apart and optimized, it will pull much higher scores.
Try Neocore on the completly stock Hero ROM, see how THAT compares.
Look at it this way, Overclocking the Hero, running a zipaligned/deodexed blah blah blah with JIT, I pull about 30FPS in Neocore. Now imagine running like that on the EVO.

I saw lag too. Were you even watching or were you busy salivating all over your computer screen? busy salivating all over your genitals*

WTF is everyone's deal saying **** about the Evo?
It's not even out yet. The software probably isn't fully up to date, thus the reason for the infamous "lag". Not to mention, the Evo is expected to come with Android 2.2, which is said to give Android phones 5x the performance increase in all areas of the phone over the current Android 2.1:: SOURCE
It's not hard to imagine that once the Devs around here get a hold of the software/hardware of the Evo and make modifications; you'll see amazing things being done with the Evo. It might even be able to create a black hole...
Just wait till June 4th, then we'll see its real performance.

It's not getting 2.2 out of the box so don't get your hopes up.

Can't provide one, yet. I'll ask my brother though (He works Sprint). However; my comment was: "The Evo is expected to come with Android 2.2" meaning; that it might not and that I'm speculating. This is because Flash 10.1 (the real, finalized version -- which is rumored to be debuting at the Google IO this week) will be running on Android 2.2. It's only logical to think if Flash 10.1 is going to be offered as a feature on the Evo; then Android 2.2 would come with preinstalled on the Evo, as 2.1 does not have the full version -- currently only the lite version (if I remember correctly). We'll see though. I'd love to have 2.2 over 2.1 -- but I'm sure this is only a matter of grabbing any new phone that does have 2.2 and modifying it to work with our phones when/if it is released.

So far you're right... but I'll get my hopes up all day. Thanks.

I'm thinking that since they already spent this long getting 2.1 on it (Read: hacking WiMAX support into 2.1) it will ship with 2.1, and may see 2.2 ~6months after release.

Good News for people in the USA....

I just wanted to let everyone know in the USA that Sprint is releasing the new HTC Evo which is basically an HTC HD2 with a few upgrades and runs Android instead of Windows Mobile. I personally have the Telstra HD2 running on AT&T and love it and I would have got the T-Mobile version except that the T-Mobile coverage is horrible where I live and in many other parts of the country it is extremely poor as well. The Telstra HD2 also doesnt support some 3G bands that AT&T uses, I was lucky enough to live in an area which it does.
I am only mentioning this because its another option for people here in the USA to get a device like the HD2 with a few upgrades and running Android if thats something you want. I am thinking about switching because I am a tech Junky. I swear I am never satisfied!!!

I think everyone is aware of this

I doubt everyone because I just found out a few days ago and I tend to keep myself fairly up to date on stuff like this.

Maybe you need better sources that don't display 2-3months old news. BTW, there's a big thread on the EVO 4G a couple pages back

Lol, I just came to this topic just to see if anyone would slam you, I was right.
It happens though it is reasonable enough to note that you are probably right, there are people that would still not know about it. Thank you for notifying us!

The second poster is right.
Everyone knows.

You lucky bastards.. i live in europe.. and we will never get the EVO4

I just love the fact that people come in here just to bash me... I expected people to bash me but its not like I care; I personally have better things to do than lurk around looking for people to pick on for no reason. I just wanted to point it out for anyone that didn't already know. I am sure there will be a few people who were happy to be informed about it.

Don't bother, EVO4 has nothing much in general than HD2 ! Even Sprint doesn't have that 4G network yet

maybe work will start on porting winmo to evo

Pretty much this. I have a sprint overdrive (3g/4g) from work and use it when im going off-site and being that I'm in SoCal (pretty big market), I'll be lucky if it even locks on to 4G. It's a good marketing tool, but to ask people to pay an extra $10/mo for 4G when the coverage is minuscule at best..is a bit outlandish. But hey, in a year or so, 4G has to compete with HSPA+ and LTE, so don't lose sleep over data speed if you're one of those people.

Yeah, I'm sure most people on this forum are well aware of the EVO. Most people on xda keep pretty up to date. I don't know how the OP just found out... even my brother, who has no real interest in phones or gadgets, knows about it. Plus this is the HD2 section... there's no reason to post about this in the HD2 section. There is already an EVO section on xda, I believe.

people.. tone down.. keep it clean and friendly.. the man was sharing some info.. let it be.. no harm no foul..

The Mytouch Slide isnt dead!

Many people think it is dead and there are no devs working on it anymore, but this isnt true. There are still multiple devs with this phone, yes some are working on other phones but look at this device, it has everything. We already have Froyo, and really we need the source to get the bluetooth working so now were only waiting for HTC to release the source. You could be on another device that is outdated or even unsupported anymore.
So be patient, well be getting S-Off and Official Froyo soon

I'm with you. Even Cyanogen takes care of Slide.

anyone remember the "froyo coming soon" in june? i don't we're going to get official froyo at all. Look at most roms, "updated 10/08!!!!" thats more than a month that it was updated, the development for this phone is dead.

Development isn't dead it's just slowed. There are new phones to work with. It's more fun to dev on a phone that's new and to an extent unknown than one that's pretty much given up all its secrets.

I'm not a developer, but I do know that this would be an extremely difficult task due to different screen resolutions. Just wait for official TMO Slide 2.2 and we'll have some great roms no doubt about that.

I knew that resolution may be challenge, but If that issue is beaten then it'd bring more options, this phone would reach its top development. I know its difficult, but it seems that we won't even gonna get Froyo from t-mobile, but devs made it possible!

We are. T Mobile has confirmed it on many occasions. If froyo is on the myTouch 3G...we will 100% get it on the Slide.

By the time we get official Froyo, there will be Gingerbread already for some devices I think. I wish they skipped Froyo to release Gingerbread update instead.

From HTC and Tmo's standpoint, updating these phones is gotta be the last thing on there minds.
Face it updating these phones doesn't make them any money.
Frankly they'd both be happier if you just bought another phone.
Manufacturers and Telco's are in the business of selling phones and cellular service.
Not making FREE updates.
I realize if we had official froyo from Tmo and the bluze source that would add additional functionality to our phones,
but, personally I don't even care.
What I mean is that I'm satisfied with what team douche and the bunch, as well as other devs are doing and have done for our phone.
I put more faith in what they will come up with than waiting on anything from HTC and Tmo.

You people(not all) are impatient, I had a cliq and they promised us 2.1 update last december, you when cliq users got it? Acouple weeks ago! Ya ok it maybe a little while but if you had any consideration of what their doing, youd be a little more patient. They have port the whole rom to 2.2, some may say that isnt so hard you go and try and port a app or something from 2.1 to 2.2, Goodluck. Also I talked to Cheifz and he said S-Off is done for the Slide and AlphaRev is waiting to finish S-Off for another device so they can release both at the sametime.
