Check out this Sprint HTC Supersonic

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?

i would love a bigger screen (a lot of things to be bigger)..
its all over the place already, hope its real..
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/The...Sprint-with-WiMAX-support-article-a_8941.html

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!

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!

Looks like you can't even use wifi without paying for a month of data from Verizon.

Greedy corporations putting their shareholders above their customers. I was planning on getting this device but I can't justify spending $800. The same goes to ATT charging $500 for the dock for the atrix. Shame!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using XDA App

Terrible.
I was planning on getting a Xoom, but now I'm going to wait and see if T-Mo's Honeycomb LG tablet is a better deal... I have a feeling it will be, even with the gimmicky 3D functionality.

The xoom looks freaking amazing. I wish it weren't so stinking expensive now if someone could port honeycomb to netbooks.... that would be sick.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Was looking forward to selling my iPad and buying this awesome Xoom tablet. Not for $800 I'm not. How can they justify a price this high? I mean its not THAT different hardware wise from the dumpy Viewsonic G-Tablet. It has better specs overall, but not over double the price better.

I was sooooo excited for this, now I am loathing Motorola for having such a poor plan for the pricing of their products.
G-Slate here I come (possibly).

Although I'm upset about the pricing, I'm more upset about Verizon requiring a month of cellular data to use wifi. That's just greedy.
That said, to put it in perspective, the Xoom is only nominally more expensive than the equivalent iPad but with better hardware (ffc, Tegra2, higher resolution, etc):
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad?mco=OTY2ODA0NQ

700 would have been a much smarter move on their part in all honesty...
I will be very interested in seeing how much the wifi version costs and when it even comes out for that matter.
No way will I pay that much.. if they are requiring you to sign up with Verizon you should be getting some nice subsidizing...

Wait....what...huh..you have to pay to use wifi? How can u charge me to use my home wifi. Where does it say that

It looks like the data is month to month, so you aren't signing a contract, meaning no subsidized price. I mean, you could buy it at $799 and pay $20 for 1 month of data to activate wifi, but what if you have to factory reset your device? I bet there will be a hack to unlock wifi in a week anyway...

Directly under the picture of the Xoom.

It says under the picture that for wifi to be activated you have to sign on for at least a month for a data plan of at least 1gb.

Cheap blow from Verizon....I had this on lock down...now I can't get it even on principle....that hurts

I bet they won't even let you leave the store with it unless you pay for 1 month of data.

Yeah, that is some BS. Really. I was going to get this instead of a laptop, because it ran Android and had similar specs to lower/midrange laptops. Now I'm most likely not. Moto is starting to look a lot like Apple, thankfully we still have HTC, who actually gives a crap more or less (but could be faster on updating stuff).
Sent from my HTC Incredible running Evervolv Gingerbread, the first Gingerbread BETA!

Severely disappointed, motorola just lost a customer, not for just this but forthe recent pricing/billing plans for the Atrix 4g (with its laptop base/require tethering). As for the Xoom, I too can no longer justify buying this device... 1. My principles won't let me 2. Price.
@500-600: Perfect deal given the hardware specs, would lead to large sales (taking customers from the ipad/and ipad2 marked, myself included)
@600: I would say it is a pretty good deal. Although i don't know exact specifics, the price of the hardware prolly runs around the 400-500$ range (even the tegra 2 development kit runs for 250$ minus a screen,R&D, and a few other hardware differences)
@700: A bit pricey, and over priced. Wouldn't have been shocked on this price point since it is basically the unofficial flagship tablet of Android 3.0, and a true "first-generation" android tablet(which understandably comes at a slight premium and early adoption cost)
@800: Completely overpriced, dont care how "new" it is, Tegra 2 has been out for more than a year. Adding insult to injury... required 1 month data plan(which in itself is RIDICULOUS). NO Thank you, Motorola just ruined it, period.
I can only hope it was an intentional leak/doctored photo. Because of this, I thought i would never say this, being a huge open source supporter(and big google supporter), i think i will hold of and get an ipad 2. Knowing Apple, the Ipad 2 will have very similar specs, new features, cheaper price point (and most likely to adopt an even cheaper price point, maybe ~50$ cheaper than current generation?)
Disheartened....

Sent from my EVO using XDA App

complain on their facebook page.
you won't be alone. a ton of pricing complains on their xoom thread.
I think i've figured it out... moto uses really expensive plastic. Atrix dock is $500. i guess i'm stupid for thinking they could make a wifi only xoom for $500.
silly me ;P

The Galaxy Tab needed to be activated too unless you knew the up/down, up/down, etc/etc backdoor to skip activation.
There's probably a back door to the Xoom too.

Can't wait to see how Canadians get screwed over by this. I'm looking forward to see what others bring at MWC in the next week or so.

Sprint, you were our last hope.

Let's hope this is only for non-sprint Sprint owned services.
Kinda makes sense, you don't get all the benefits if you're with the cheap brands like Virgin.

At least we know that if data is eventually tiered we won't be charged extra like ATT and VZW customers.
Throttling is by far the lesser of two evils.
What's sad is this wouldn't effect me even if I went over. I average ~256kbps anyway

Well...I wouldn't mind 256k speeds right now! They need to fix some stuffs, ASAP. I'm burnin up the interwebs @60kps on 3G currently.

+1 on the throttling. Id hate to pay overage charges. i believe that sprint is not gonna do it in the near future ( hoping... i repeat hoping it wont at least) but of course it could happen. they are using the fact that everyone else is doing it as a little marketing push.

And in terms of throttling or overages ... I'd take throttling in a heartbeat.

of course, i'd rather not choose either.

Upgrade question

I am planing on getting a epic 4g tourch but wanted to know if anyone knew what it would cost straight up at a sprint store? My renewal is not up until next year. Also does anyone know if i but the phone say off of bestbuy or eBay if the insurance i carry with sprint will cover the new phone? I dont know if it will being as i did not buy it from sprint. Thanks!
P.S. does anybody but me think 4.5inc is just to big for a phone.... Wish it was like 4inc.

My guess would be 599.99 off contract. For that kind of dough,you'd be better off doing an early termination, paying that and getting an new line with an on contract phone.
Not sure about the insurance though. Asurion is a seperate company they insure phones from all carriers.
No I think 4.5 inch is sweet, id like to see a 5 inch!
This is just my opinion here, but if your a year off from getting an upgrade I would wait. The epic 4g is going to be just fine for a long while yet. I've played with a freinds evo 3d and an international gsII. While they're cool, overall I was not impressed. I didn't see a signifigant increase in performance over this the epic 4g, and in some cases it seemed worse. I wuld wait for the 2nd gen of dual core phones or even until quad core....but that's just my 2cents. Good luck in whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be an awsome phone.
From cellblock D

I plan on doing this at 14 months so I don't have to wait a full two years to get the promo price. While it cost 75$, the phone price will go from full price to the 199$. Still saving a few hundo.

i was trying to figure out the best options for upgrade as well. I have the best buy insurance so maybe my epic will take a tumble and then i can sell a brand new epic online and use that cash to buy a SGS2. However I was a little disappointed in the video i saw on engadget. They showed an epic touch next to the original SGS on att, they appeared to be the same thickness. Wasn't the big thing suppose to be the incredible thinness of the phone? hmmm

That's because they added in WiMax. So i would rather have the phone be 1mm thicker and have wimax.
The epic touch is gonna be sprint's thinnest phone anyway.

Insurance will cover your phone regardless of where you got it from. I bought my epic from Craigs List and it was covered.

To me 4" to 4.3" is about as big a a phone should be. I would love to keep this phone.. but i am starting to think CM7 (stable) will never happen lol

i think 4.5 will be fine because it has a small bezel too. but you are right nick, anything bigger than that is just crazy. Start feeling like we'll be the guy on hot tub time machine with the old school big ass phones

Love that movie!

When I just talked to Sprint this week, everyone said contract buyouts have been completely removed from their systems. So no regular rep can do that even if they wanted to.
Just a heads up.

You can definitely buy your phone off contract.
Itsjust not as easy as GSM where all yu do is connect your sim card and you're good to go
You have to call sprint after you buy it and get it activated with all the codes on the sticker and then it'll be tied to your account.
It also doesn't effect upgrade eligibility. So if you buy off contract and you're due for an upgrade, you can upgrade, keep the new phone in the box and just use your gsii as your main and sell the upgrade boxsealed to recoup a few hunneds
