HTC 'Supersonic' to ring in WiMAX on Sprint, Android-style
By Chris Ziegler posted Jan 17th 2010 10:51PM
Exclusive
Remember that mysterious HTC A9292 with WiMAX rumored for Sprint a few days back? Well, take a seat, folks -- we think we've got the lowdown on it here from a trusted source, and it's a bit of a monster:
* Codename is "Supersonic" -- a name we've heard at least once before.
* Feels a lot like you'd expect an Android-powered HD2 to feel thanks to a 4.3-inch non-AMOLED display and a svelte shell. (For reference, the HD2 is 11mm thick, but we don't have exact dimensions here.)
* It's got a kickstand on the back. This wouldn't be a first for HTC; the Imagio on Verizon has one, for example.
* Runs Android 2.1 with HTC's Sense UI.
* Our tipster saw it in white; production devices could be available in different colors, of course, but white seems like it'd be an intriguing choice for a phone of the HD2's size and shape.
* The phone's software stack is buggy enough right now to suggest that we're not looking at a release any time soon, but we don't have details on the projected launch window.
* It's fast -- Snapdragon fast, it seems, though our tipster can't confirm the processor under the hood.
We know 2010's just begun, but between all this noise and the promise of a legitimate 4G radio on board, let's be real -- we're already looking at a very, very early contender for smartphone of the year. Let's not run into any major roadblocks between here and retail, alright, guys?

its all over the place already, hope its real..

Tethering on that bad boy will be awesome! Then when I head upstate I can still fall back on VZW's 1x roaming. LOL! Seriously, I love sprints 1 yr upgrades. Can't wait!

exactly im loving the fact that i can upgrade in 1 yr now... hopefully this phone will be coming out as my upgrade approaches...

illl buy it right now! if it works with sprint then sell my hero later.. or give it to my brother..

Hmm, Just joined Sprint in Oct and started a family plan. What is this 1 year upgrade?

sprint offers its preimer members 1yr upgrades instead of waiting the full two years, i dont know what qualifes you to be a member but i know i am, i would just call and ask if you could join or if you are one already

Pay your bill on time for three months, and you are enrolled in S|P program, I believe.

I've gotten the bill on time for three months, but what's the S|P program?

its the sprint premier customer.
it makes you eligible for upgrades once every 12 months and you get 25% off all accessories.
you have to have an individual line plan for more than 70$ a month or a family plan totaling more than 100$ a month, pay your bills on time and sometimes jsut be with sprint for awhile.

Either you have to be with Sprint for 10 years or get a plan that starts somewhere around $75-$100/year and wait three months.

I don't suppose there is any word on if it will have 802.16m instead of 802.16e.

I look forward to seeing reviews of this phone. Even on 3G, this phone will be a beast compared to the Hero/Moment. I have my upgrade coming in October, but will see how 2.1 performs on my Hero when it is released.

A beast in more ways than one - it's going to be humongous.

Very true. I hope the Sprint Nexus One rumors are true. I don't know if I'd want a phone larger than that in my pocket. Although, the lure of a 4.3" screen is inticing

I looked at a comp video of SS to iPhone... not that much bigger. When it drops, I'll hit the Sprint store and see if I like the feel of it in my hand. I can always get a holster or something if I don't want it in my pocket all the time. Lol.

I'll wait til it's rooted, but should be eligable in november.

Might wait til it's rooted. But with the Snapdragon, everything should be super snappy from jump. I'll check the reviews vids and play with it in-store before making my final decision, though.

Really HTC/Sprint??

So I am sitting here with $500 burning a hole in my pocket and nobody on the planet (except the extortionists at ebay) will trade me my money for a new Evo!
Was it really such a shock that the Evo would sell so well or did HTC/Sprint just not care and run their usual production line anyway? It seems like they are losing money as well by falling behind on inventory, so maybe it was a surprise!

would you rather have an evo right now with issues and problems or wait a bit and have a perfectly good evo?

So...are you saying that HTC/Sprint purposely limited how many Evos they made the first time around because they knew there were problems?
My argument is not so much that I don't have an Evo, it is more about how few were produced by the release date compared to the demand.

This is very similar to the HTC Incredible through Verizon. It sounds like they just didn't have the production capabilities to fill the needs of two very hot devices. I wouldn't blame it on either Sprint or Verizon, as I'm sure all of them would have been happy to churn customers from other providers to sell new lines.
In the WA state area, they were next to impossible to find within the first month of release. I'd ended up returning the pair I got with my now ex-wife.
I was pretty lucky in getting one less than a week ago from Sprint in Bellevue, WA.

Same thing happened when the HTC Desire first came out. Both carriers and companies that sold unlocked phones were S.O.L. because they ran out of inventory sooner then they had expected.
Sucks dishing out $500+ and being told..."Sorry we are out of stock and you are now #??? and we promise to get you your phone ASAP!"

I have no issued with my Evo. No screen speeration, my screen is properly grounded and I got it at Best Buy.

When you think about it from a business viewpoint. If you release your phone a month prior to your biggest competition who you KNOW will sell out, due to the major changes in the component of the iPhone. Would you rather have your stock during initial release and flood the market? OR would you rather trickle your product into the market and have plenty on hand when your competition is struggling to fill orders?
Bottom line. Find a Sprint Store that handles repairs, they sell a higher volume then regular stores. Get on the waiting list and wait. It sucks, but it is SO worth it. I did and I got my phone surprisingly faster then I expected. I have had it for a full week now and love it.
We don't know exactly WHY Sprint has such a shortage, it COULD be just incompetence but I haven't been with sprint long enough to know. But I do know this phone was worth waiting for.

dam didnt know they would do that!

"According to a release the company sent out to employees this week, the redux will kick off on December 11th at 6 PM, on HP's eBay Store. There, consumers will be able to get their hands on a refurbished 16GB or 32GB model for $99 and $149, respectively. They'll also have the chance to get a case, charging dock and wireless keyboard as part of a $79 bundle, though the sale isn't entirely lawless, with each buyer limited to a maximum of two Touchpads."
So if you guys missed the last one, like me, get ready for it

If they sell it for $50, I might.

Even just to resell this is an incredible deal, they go for 300+ on ebay with CM7 O:

Oh well. Better than nothing right?
It is better than Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet.
Hope they (Palm) find a better home.

Why cant they have deals like this here in south africa? Bleak!

damn for me to order one from the US to Sweden it will cost me 99$ for the tablet 34$ for shipping and 60$ taxes. Sums up to about almost 200$

Refurbished?

Sold my 32GB on ebay for $250

Any idea if we will be able to order from Europe?
Or tricks to do it anyway if it is not possible?

Looks like they sold out in 15 minutes! I clicked and clicked and clicked, but . . . you know what I got? BUPKISS!!!
*kicks stupid, slow-ass, rural DSL connection*

Was a total cluster youknowwhat, it was sloooowwww going, page load errors, etc.
In the end, I'm looking at it like I save a couple hundred bucks by NOT getting the ones I wanted

I got 2 of them.
The trick was to go to ebay.ca or ebay.uk

By the time it ships it will be <$400.

Plus delivery times after that, I've had weird shipping time total from deal places like that and 1sale ect, almost a month after purchased.

Never ordered from them but I read up on these places and it's known they take 2 weeks plus to ship anything or never ship or **** defective things...
Best of luck to anyone who orders

Then why does it say
Condition: New
Packaging: Retail
Warranty: 1 Year International
Brand: Samsung
Model: Galaxy Nexus i9250
?

I believe he means for US buyers, you can't ship it to be fixed from a US address

And the price of the Nexus continues to drop. Feel bad for sellers on here. This will be used as a price match lol.
Seems if you wait a week it comes down a extra $50-$70
:-D

Still a good deal though

hmmmm decisions buy used for $525 or new for $460

yeah I might jump on this sucker, $460 is a good price a month from now, lol.

The Gnex has dropped a lot in the past month. I was thinking of getting one in February and the cheapest was around $600. I know the quad phones coming up are tempting, but the Nexus S i9023 is still around $350 new.

[Q] Bought an i9505 off facebook and got burned!

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S4 I9505 off some guy on facebook for £300 (cash), he said it was an unwanted upgrade (even showed me the delivery note).
Two days later, yep, you guessed it. It's been reported lost and consequently the imei has been blacklisted.
I feel really stupid for falling for this scam and I have reported him to the fraud team on my local police website. Whether they do anything about it or not is another story.
My question is.. what can I do about it? I have a brand new, shiny £300 paper weight in my top draw!
I was thinking about buying a new logic board and hoping for a new clean imei? Or maybe buy a faulty/damaged i9505 and making a working phone from the pair?
I am not allowed to list it for sale on Swappa and I boycotted fleabay years ago, what are my options for selling abroad?
Should I just throw it? Hand it in to the police? Salvage it? Is it even still feasible to sell it abroad? I heard AT&T were sharing T-mobiles blacklist database to make it worldwide? Is this true?
Thanks in advance for any help, I will certainly learn from this mistake in future.
Dave

I would hack the imei and change a bit here and there 300 is a good price for a S4

you should someohow contact the police and if you know the person who sold it you should give the police the numbers, this is really sad that people do this to others. but i'm sure you've heard when its "cheap" and theres no paper that the person has purchased it then you should just leave.
I'm going to report moderators to decide wether this thread should be open or not, but if i was you i would give it in.

Head's up....posts like this will get you uninvited to post on XDA.
We do not advocate changing IMEI's here. And we REALLY don't discuss how to do it. Any talk like this is a HUGE no no.
To the OP, You have a nice Wifi device at least. That's something. It's not like teh device is totally worthless.
You can also sell it on Craigslist as long as you are VERY clear and honest about its' condition. Of course that's a last resort of your local police can't do anything to help.
