Unless someone actually mentioned it by name, it was failed product placement. At lteast Sprint is making some kind of effort to get it out there, though.

I missed it completely...and I've seen all the Hero's and Sprint products throughout the season.
hahaha! my favorite sprint moment on this seasons 24 was a few episodes back when Chloe pulled out the sprint 4G router and they held like a 15-20 second shot on it while she talked about how she could setup a seperate network with lightning fast speeds. such obviously product "whoring" it was just hilarious!

Well, with heroes canceled, and 24 over... sprints lost 2 major product placement shows... gonna have to lay it on thick in Flash Forward
maybe they could wave phones in front of the camera randomly during Fringe I.E. the Observer?

Gotcha!
I completely didn't notice the Evo on "24" last night. I do remember the mobile hotspot pitch they did a few episodes ago. The only time I've seen Sprint blatantly advertise the Evo, was on Oprah's "No Phone Zone" special ... and by "blatant" I mean, they zoomed in on the phone as she was showing people how to text in their pledges. The name was never mentioned but the did an extreme close-up of the phone and you could see the word "Evo" on the phone.
I will never understand why Sprint didn't use "Survivor" to promote the Evo. Sprint has some sort of marketing contract with the reality show "Survivor"...Survivor uses nothing but Sprint products and they endorse Sprint all the time. One of the episodes close to this seasons finale, they surprised the last group of castaways with video messages from home ... guess what phone they used???...a friggin' PALM PRE!!! They touted the hell out of that antiquated Pre. I couldn't believe it. That would have been the PERFECT opportunity for them to at least get some buzz surrounding the Evo. But, instead, they choose to try and boost some phone almost year old. FAIL!

The 'recorded' Survivor season finale (my inlaws watched it when they came over, I do not) used a Pre, where the host said "the survivors can call their families only using the Sprint Palm Pre!, using the Now Network"...
But the live finale used an Evo -- but didn't mention it at all, just showed up..

Gingerman is a cool bar. I'd say I would meet you there but by the time I get downtown it's going to be close to 7:00. There may be a line to get in (in typical SXSW fashion). Doors open at 7 and the first people in get some pretty cool swag from what I've read. Race you to the HTC booth!
Ooo! Didn't think about the lines! I was planning on being downtown around 5. Maybe I'll just go grab my spot then....

My sentiments exactly.
Quoted from the Facebook message I received:
"Just a reminder that our event is tonight, look forward to seeing everyone! The event is all-ages and open to everyone, so please feel free to bring your friends.
We're also giving away a couple of hundred gdgt iPhone cases and t-shirts, but you'll have to get there early to get one!"
T-shirt could be OK if it's black.
Nah. They're prolly iShirts. Which means pink. Or didn't you know that pink is the new black?
someone ask htc if their gonna fix the dust under the screen defect on the hero's!

I'm really wishing my hero supported 4G right now, because I found out yesterday at a sprint kiosk that honolulu has 4G coverage already. QQ

Well just an FYI.. the plan im switching to on Verizon is only $10 a month more than what im paying on Sprint. And I get LTE inside my house so its worth it to me.
Im just wondering because im looking at the CTIA schedule and see AT&T, Qualcom and some other mobile announcements but I dont see anything from Sprint on there. So im just wondering...
I'm pretty sure they'll be MIA.

EVO 2 and WiMax are on hold right now, with Sprint's ongoing saga with Clearwire. It's at a point where they are thinking of going complete LTE, and just move away from Clearwire/WiMax. Clear could avoid this death wish, by using Sprint's Network Vision and calling it a day. Both companies will make an substantial amount of money, and your 3G speeds will be back to normal.
The only way the EVO 2 debuts at CTIA, is if HTC/Sprint rehash the Inspire 4G/Thunderbolt/Desire Z for Sprint, and call it the EVO 2. It won't be close to the actual original EVO 2 designs(Sabor wasn't either), but to appease the public, that is what may happen. By the way, HTC/Sprint's love child has been in the works a year and a half before Engadget leaked the news. "Supersonic" wasn't even the original codename for the device. News did leaked months before the device dropped, but that info was late too.
Somthing is coming...I just HOPE it isnt a 4 panel echo remix...

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]
Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.

Depending on the rom you use, some of the sense roms that are sense 2.0 based have a phone finder built in. Blackberry isn't bad, it's a business phone. It's not made to be flashy, it's just made to work. I don't like it since it doesn't fit my wants in a smartphone, but hey it does what it's made to do.

I completely agree, and that's exactly why I hate it; it doesn't fit what I need it to do in a smartphone. And I'm still kinda ticked that I can only have 1 alarm...and I have 2 different class times on m/w and t/th so changing it daily is a pain.
Yeah have found one that says it can remotely enable GPS and one stating that if off it can use network location. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That or it has been so long thought it wasn't likely. Damn, posts like these always get me thinking about having my phone stolen. Bummer.

I hear you man. i have one for work and am not a fan. it works perfectly with a corporate server and all that, but it's damn near worthless as a civilian phone.
I can relate. I have a curve that work gave me. A lot of my friends have BBM, so I end up typing on that and I HATE it. i don't bother correcting typos b/c there are way to many with my fingers hitting like 50 keys at once. Good to know about the new alarm thing. That was bugging me too.

I agree, not ideal for the casual usage, like the evo...they said 7-10 days, I'm hoping for 6.

They told me 7-10 days last Thursday. Consider yourself lucky to have the BB......I'm on a Samusung A940.
funny as blackberry os 6.0 is pretty awesome. i don't like blackberries much but my wife loves hers. she hates touchscreens. i even had to but her that new flip blackberry sprint has, she wanted nothing to do with an evo or android.
get my point, everybodies taste is different.

And yes, I know. As I said I hate the blackberry, not that blackberry sucks in general.

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]
Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.
Edit: Go Y2K post.

Throw a hybrid OS on it. Just download any BB OS, then go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion (RIM)...then extract the folder named "Java" and play around with the .cod modules.
I built hybrid OS's for years before I found Android.

Interesting...I may try that. Though I am only on this till I get me evo, and this is technically my sister's phone, so I may not, out of respect.
Sucks you got your evo stolen I returned my evo I got from sprint by using my upgrade the other day, waiting for the one I bought from Ebay now But in the meantime I am using a Blackberry curve, I hate this thing! For one its boring, the keypad is tiny, no angry birds, lol. I tried to make my wife take it, that only lasted on day though, lol. She calls it a blueberry and has been walking around the house saying "no evo no evo", now my kids have joined her! grrrrrr Hurry up mailman! I feel your pain
I have a 13 year old daughter, I offered to buy her the shift for an upgrade, she said shes just fine with her BB curve
