I spoke with a T-mobile rep here in Moreno Valley CA and he said that HTC reps have frequent meetings with reps at stores and that the HTC HD2 WILL HAVE WM7! He said he physically saw it on the HD2 that the HTC rep had with him. And as far as price....according to him the HD2 will not be priced under $529, The phone w/o contract will cost at least $529. I believe this news will be announced at MIX10.
You can disregard this info if you want, but now that I've heard this....the HD2 will be my new phone. Sorry N1.

Was this REP trying to get you to sign up to a contact with them or sell you the HD2? I wouldn't take that as gospel unless you had it in writing. Atleast then you could take his ass to court.
On i side note i am not too bothered if WP7 comes to the HD2 seen as the ZUNE service will probally be as crap as it is now outside of the U.S.
What's so cool about WP7 ?

No, he didn't try and push me into a contract. Just exciting news from on phone
geek to another. That's why I figured it had to be true. I think we'll be truly
surprised what WM7 will have to offer. When MIX10 hits, I think they'll announce a totally re-designed marketplace. Everyone questioning what WM7
will be, will see come MIX10.

LOL. No, I am NOT an employee of MS (though that would be cool). Just your
average tech geek that gets excited about anything new. and I'm excited
because it was between the HD2 or N1 for me. Now, after comparing the two
I know the HD2 is for me. WM7 is just icing on the cake.
Really? because i know someone that has one and he says its running 6.5. its the usa tmobile version. your guy is probably just confused. a lot of self proclaimed geeks dont know as much as the think.

How do you know someone with a phone ahead of release on a national carrier?
I happened to be looking for a BB bold on craigslist a found a local guy selling them for 325 brand new in the box. anyway we talked for a while and for the past week and it turns out he can gets them from his sister that works at tmobile. not sure whats going on but the last one he had sold on ebay for 805 and he has one now that he will sell for 900 but thats crazy since it should be out this month.

The problem with your story is the pricing is wrong. The leaks that TMo News got (From an arguably much more reliable source) put the phone priced at $449 w/o contract and $199 on a EM contract plan. Kinda makes the rest.....significantly less believable as much as I'd love it to be true.
A video, a picture with a "hi xda" sign, anything. Come on folks

^Better than that I hope!
I still want to believe!
no buddy
definitely not true...hd2 will NOT be getting the upgrade to WP7S because HTC is proud of Sense UI and 7 is not skinnable...(retail full price is also completely off...youll be happy that it is not 529 )
just wait a week till mix jeeez

I'd take that with a grain of salt. My girlfriend works at T-Mobile(she gets a free HD2 for 60 days for attending the training ) and from what she told me and from what I've seen online its to be 449 off contract and 199 on contract. Don't believe me? How about these leaked price sheets?
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/03/htc-hd2-nuron-and-cliq-xt-pricing-cometh/
So I wouldn't believe much of what this guy told you, most people who work at a T-Mobile store don't know much about their phones or what's coming. Hell I actually knew about the MyTouch Slide before my girlfriend did. But she has been out doing me recently when it comes to the new stuff, so I'm pretty sure it won't be 529 on contract.
Wait wait, I saw that page before and just thought 'wow, great price' and clicked off. Now that I looked closer, the HD2 is priced the same as the measly mytouch or a TP2? That's just... wrong.
Not saying it's untrue, but that is a pretty odd pricing strategy.
So when a sales person at a mobile provider says something that we don't want to hear, we're all like "Yeah, but they never know what they're talking about anyway", but when they say something that we do want to hear, we're all like "Wow, I can't wait for this! The guy was really genuine and smart and obviously very good at his job and cared for his customers' needs!"
Incidentally, I don't want WP7S - I think it looks gash. It looks like something you'd have thought was futuristic in the 80s, but old-news in the 90s. It's bloody awful (and fugly).

I have sprint phones for my Son and Daughter. I have had the Hero for several months now, and purchased mine at Best Buy at the awesome sale price of 70.00. I should have bought two then and I am kicking myself in the butt for not doing so. Well, my son really wants one and I promised him one for graduation, but now they are not on sale anymore.
If there is anyone out there selling their Hero to get ready for the new line of Android phones.... I am extrememly interested in buying your HERO.. if you know of anyone selling one rooted or not, let me know please.
thanks, Chris

Do you mena EVO?
I am thinking of selling my Hero. I am wanting to get the EVO. Asking $200. Few months old, rooted and running Fresh 2.1.2. Also has the Otterbox case on it. PM me if interseted.
How much off a new phone do they give you for giving them a Vibrant?
I know it was like $90 for an HTC Aria last time I checked, so I'm guessing it should be more than that for a Vibrant.
Let me know, if you know - anyone.

Kind of all over the place on this one huh?
The carriers' trade in programs are a rip off.. If you want to sell your Vibrant, sell it via Ebay or Craigslist.
I am in st. louis and would like to trade my Epic rooted with CM6 plus many extra accessories for an Evo, preferably the white one with the newer screen. but could be persuaded for a regular one LOL.
Thanks
Had enough of Samsung and their BS updates and broken gps huh? Ya, my epic is now collecting dust in my closet! Evo by far is the best between the two!

I would try and stay local man, if you can't drive to get it don't do it. No offense to anyone but I don't trust anyone on the internet and they shouldn't trust you.
As for activation, I was told that having CM on the phone can sometimes cause issues updating the PRL for the switch so you might have to odin it back to stock or flash a different ROM. I went to stock because I was worried about having it on a leaked build. However, with that said, the Evo I got was running a rom with a very custom boot animation (Fresh) and the rep mentioned how cool it looked and asked how he could get that.
yes.. I would stay local... for both party's saftey.
you can call it in to get it activated...
or you can do it online.. by creating an account with sprint.
from what I know.. I dont see why it would matter what ROM you might have on an EVO. the ESN is all that the carrier needs.

Are you willing to sell the epic?
sure, but I would have to buy an Evo locally and activate it before I could ship the Epic
I live 2hrs south, I could buy it or trade my daughters curve and throw in some money. PM if your interested.
Posting on Craigslist probably will give you some results also.
Ah, I wish you were in this Dallas area...I just paid for an Epic recently but I would've rather done a trade.
You might get more action in the marketplace forum as well

I have an add there as well, no traffic though
If u still have ur epic I'd drive 2/3 of the trip to trade u my Evo plus my extended seidio battery & the stock battery w/original box & cables. I'd be coming from OK but I was gonna be in Kansas in a couple weeks anyway.
I appreciate it, but I dont think I want a trade bad enough to drive a few hrs.
Thank you though
Seems like getting a replacement shift is damn near impossible right now.
Will post more shortly, calling HTC corporate right now. Called CS last night, no help, called sprint last night no help.

LOL @ Wardialing.
I ended up getting through to an HTC Conference room with a bunch of bigwigs at HTC and everyone heard that I was a dissatisfied customer.
Well the manager of Customer Service called me back and we had a very long conversation. She will be looking into why the HTC replacement phones are on backorder.
Also told her they need to make an Evo Shift 2. heheh
She'll be getting back to me soon.
Good to know. just got my replacement and am about to start the downgrade and root process.
Haha man if you convince them to make a evo shift 2, you will be praised like a God by me

Nope. I'm about to follow up with HTC right now.
So basically what I would recommend everyone doing is reading this thread here:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/382301
Email [email protected] and let him know your issue. It will go to the office of the CEO of Sprint and should help speed up the process of getting your replacement.
Got my replacement, only thing I don't like about it is it is that the last one had rounded glass on the touchscreen and camera lens, it was odd but beautiful, make it feel like one of those new winmo nokia phones.
Atleast this one works though.
I heard that HTC is cutting back on manufacturing these devies, both the OG Evo and the Evo Shift. But HTC still has to consider replacement devices so they probably have cut back their production line for these devices quite a bit but still keep small sections open for manufacturing . Either way to me it sounds like more of a issue on HTC's part with the back orders and Sprint shouldn't really be blamed. But sprint should have a loaner phone policy where customers can pay a deposit or something if Sprint is worried that much about people not returning the loaner phones as they say on that link that Vicodan posted. Then you could of course get the deposit back once your new device comes in. A shift 2 with a dual core cpu would be nice though. I think HTC should consider this when planning their new devices to manufacturer.

It's more like Sprint clears out inventory of replacement shifts, 500 shifts break and they order 500 more and you get your replacement. It's a really weird system but it makes sense, they buy in bulk. That is the understanding that I have and can share publicly without getting into too much confidential detail but HTC heard my concerns loud and clear, I promise you that.
Every concern everyone has voiced on this forum has been voiced including my own.
I would just say patience is a virtue guys.

+1... Sprint and/or HTC know how dependent people are on their mobile devices, because they and modern technology have made us that dependent... To solve the non return issue of loaners, a simple $300 charge on bill when loaner is accepted by customer and $300 credit on the bill when loaner is returned, all guaranteed by a basic agreement signed by sprint and the customer. I didn't even go to business school and that makes sense to me...

I recently replaced my phone beginning of January because the screen went out and it wouldn't react to touch anymore. But anyways I was one of the lucky ones who got a replacement in a week...I hope you don't have to wait too long though!
