Anyone leaving an iPhone (Any Gen) for Evo

I've only owned the iPhone 3G. I didn't want to be the first to jump on the 2G because I thought it was asinine for Apple to release their first phone on 2G when we already had 3G. I loved the iPhone but the main gripes about it were lack of customization. I did the whole jailbreak thing and got all these cool apps but with Winterboard and themes you'd run into crashes, apps just rebooting, etc.
I mainly switched because I'm pissed that the new iPhone will be minimal at best but yet many people will flock outside on launch day to get the device. I've owned Nokia phones with video recorders and a FLASH! It's frustrating to see a company nickel and dime people with *Magical & Revolutionary Features* that have existed on phones for almost a decade.
The only thing Apple has going for them is the App Store but hopefully Android will catch up and people will see the light.
I'm going from paying $250/mo with AT&T to $120-$140/mo with Sprint. I've since sold my iPhone two weeks ago and I can honestly tell you I don't miss it. I"m using a temporary crappy Blackberry 8900 for now until launch day.

I am giving up my 3GS for the EVO.
I have coverage issues with AT&T.
Like you, I am saving a bunch of money, even with the EVO 4G $10 surcharge.
I also am jailbroken. I admit the iPhone is an amazing phone and when you jailbreak it, its even better. I came from WinMo, had a Tilt and with xda-developers modding your phone is a completely different experience than jailbreaking.
I think the only thing I'll miss is the 32GBs of space to carry my music but then again, my iphone will just become an ipod touch and I am ok with that.
I pick the EVO over the next iphone for screen size, Android (long live an open OS), plan pricing, and overall awesomeness lol.
I am curious what the new iphone is going to have though.

Were going to test out the Evo's, and so long as it has good battery life, Sprint data speeds are = to AT&T and the phone isn't too big we will make the switch. Otherwise we will be selling our 3gs's for the new iphone hd's.

Why not just get a 16GB or 32GB micro SD for the Evo?

I have the incredible on one account from client that pays for my service and phone.
I have AT&T with the everything plan $120.00 a month. No tethering. IPHONE 3GS - jailbroken 3.13 - all sorts of stuff.
Not a big app person. I use Timewerks and thats about it as far as a paid app. I have never paid for anything else.
I already enjoy android so I will enjoy it 30% more with the larger 4.3" screen
Froyo 2.2 here I come. This will give it the boost without a hardware upgrade
I won't miss the Iphone. I had too many problems with mine. I am on my 5th warranty phone in less than 4 months - all lock ups/glitchy. No it was not the jailbreak. two of them didn't make it outside the Apple Store. Happened while I was walking out.
I couldn't complain to get a better phone the 3GS was the best they had.
I like HTC and their innovations so far. Keep them coming.

I am leaving the iPhone. I have been a fanboy since the 3G was released. I now use a 16GB 3GS and have been watching and waiting for the phone that would make me switch. The Incredible was close, but the EVO got the job done. Just posted my iPhone for sale on my local craigslist and eBay.

You do realize that this phone accepts MicroSD cards, right?

Pre-ordered Evo last week. Sold my 3gs yesterday. Bought a hero on a sprint account for a temporary phone that allows me to test android out and see how sprint is in my area. That way I can always return my hero within the 14 day period, get my Evo, and if I hate sprint/android or both (all very unlikely) then I can cancel my sprint account, still have my AT&T account for 2 months (altho already ported my number to sprint, hopefully can port it back to AT&T if need be) and when the next iPhone is announced if it's better than evo (also highly unlikely) then I'll go with that. My 3gs netted me $281.35 at the shack so money isn't a problem with any of these phones, and I have lots of options. Can't wait until the 4th!

Leaving Iphone 32gb 3gs
I admit that I'm a phone whore. I am in between an HD2 & Iphone 3gs 32gb. I started with the original HD, but the HD2 wasn't all that great. I am just worried that the Android Market will not have enough apps to keep me occupied. Thats the main thing that I like about the Iphone. Also, the apps on the HD2 from Windows Market place seemed out dated and tired. I hope Android does a better job than Windows Mobile.

Can't wait. Defiantly going to sell my 3gs after I got to play with the Evo at the Sprint store. It should be awesome with the Everything Family Plan.

Are you serious? You could have gotten more than $300 for the 3GS. You could have gotten more if it were on 3.1.2 software, jailbroken & unlocked. Could have fetched close to $400 if not a little more. Never sell your phone to Radioshack. Oh well it's all said and done now. BTW you can port your number back to AT&T.

more details good sir...I have a jailbroken 32GB iphone 3GS on 3.1.3.
I am aware of the 32GB SD Card myth....are there high quality ones out there? I haven't kept up since I had my tilt.

I'll definitely pick up a 32GB just have to look for a good price.

Im dumping my 3gs for the evo. I had the 2g, 3g, and the 3gs, sick of apples grasp getting tighter and tighter.

I already picked up a 16gb card for my EVO, still gotta wait until next week though. Don't know how much music i'll load, maybe only a few albums worth at any given time. Most of those 16 gigs will be for movies...gotta make good use of that kickstand!
Currently use an 8 gig card on TP2, most of it is movies running on CorePlayer.
Amazing the premium you pay to have that kind of storage with iDont.

I've been with AT&T since 2007 when the first iPhone came out. I've had the 2G and 3G, but passed on 3GS since it really wasn't much of an improvement. So now I'm switching over to Sprint, and I'm a little nervous about it due to my previous experience with Sprint during the Nextel merger/walkie talkie phase. Luckily, I have a 30 day guarantee if I decide that this beast (EVO) isn't worth crappy service. Worst case scenario, I awkwardly go back to AT&T if the iPhone HD impresses me or take up Verizon on the Incredible.

X10 coming to AT&T, 2.1 in Q4

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...n=Feed:+TheBoyGeniusReport+(Boy+Genius+Report)
Not good news...looks like Q4 for 2.1.

Why do you say that? "Coming weeks" falls in line with the end of Q3 schedule quite nicely.

AT&T is too late.
x10 isn't as attractive than evo 4g or droid x or galaxy S.
Not to mention Iphone.
I don't see their sales will go up. Now if x10 was released in feb or match by At&T that's another story.

What do u mean x10 isn't attractive?Galaxy S is just another iphone ripoff, evo 4g looks like a brick sent into a squashing machine and while the droid x doesn't look too bad, it doesn't compare to the X10's design

what? are you serious ?

Sadly, North americans are people that sulk in pursuing numbers and names. Not their functions nor design.
If not then Iphone wouldn't be sold so many here. which iphone user actually looked into and compare the function of Iphone against other before buying an Iphone.
And evo 4g isn't really 4g (from what i read). But everyone think it is 4g and buy it out.
While functions, x10 lost to all the latest phones. The only thing that is attractive enough is SE's brand name, which some of us bought it because of it.

I'm not into names, numbers or looks, only function.
Bought the X10 because it was/is the largest screen Android phone in Canada with North American 3G. (wasn't going to pay $800 to import an N1)
Happy with Android 1.6 but wish it did BT Voice Dial.
Don't care about looks which is why I stuck a 2600mAh battery in it's butt
BTW, I also never understood the iPhone attraction.

x10 is very good looking in white or black, It fits in the hand good not like the hd2. Soon or later 2.1 would come, and I don't care about 2.2. Anyway, all I want to say is x10 is good and just give it a try.

Sorry, but your posts make no sense. The Evo 4G is 4G, which is available only in a very limited number of major American cities.
The Evo 4G is not a true competitor for any other phone because it is such a niche product.
The Galaxy S, Droid Incredible, Droid X, and Droid 2 are the X10's biggest competition, but I assume that AT&T will price the X10 accordingly (i.e. lower than the others).

hmm so where is HondaGuy? Any answers for doubting me that the X10 is coming to AT&T since I was the first to state it a while ago?
The AT&T logo appears only in the back on the cover, we get to keep our XPERIA logo on the front
And 2.1 will be ready near the end of Q3 in September, the Q4 one is something else Let's just say we will be happy 2 more times with our X10 before the year ends

As late as the x10 is coming into the game for the american market, I feel that it is still plenty competitive with other flagship smartphones. There are only few minor issues with the x10, being the lack of MT and the lower built in ram and rom.
If at&t markets the phone correctly to those looking for a high quality camera phone, I think the x10 can make a great impression. While looks is an interpretive concept, I have heard a lot of positive comments about the phone's design and imo is currently the best looking phone available with android. For those reasons, I think the x10 will definitely get some crapple converts.

The way that the 4 is selling out everywhere, no "crapple" owner is going to convert.
However, plenty of RIM users will jump onto the Android train.

These are hish wash here in the US. You go to ATT local store all you can see is selection of 10 crappy phone which they have put four of each in every corner (4x10 - 40 crappy phones) and a stand with iPhone on it. I have been ATT customer for 4 years now and I have never bought a phone from them. Phone Company in the US suck with no options. People don't care about the phone, as long as it has iphone options or some cool other feature or even if it doesn't.
We see the phones as gadget many people don't see it that way.
I wish t-mobile could bring their European policy here in the US.$0 for phone anything you like.
Let them be happy with their iPhone. as long as they are not using it for their pregnancy test.

Some reason I think X10 will do great in US.
When X10 was realesed, I doubted that it won't really do well in front of HTC and Motorola as it was Sony Ericsson's first Android device and no multitouch with 1.6
When I bought, I was amazed. I think the user experience is Brilliant!!! Top notch phone with hardware specs. The problem is not X10, it's the Sony Ericsson's delays with upgrades, but not to forget they are catching up. It's not they are not doing anything about it

what do you guys think?

http://www.phonedog.com/2011/06/08/sprint-iphone-currently-undergoing-advanced-testing/
We've heard a couple of rumblings in the past month or so suggesting that a Sprint iPhone may be on the horizon, and tonight the mythical device is back in the news. According to unnamed sources speaking with 9to5Mac, a version of the iPhone similar to the iPhone 4, possibly the iPhone 4S, is currently being testing by both Apple and Sprint. The tipsters claim that Apple ordered Sprint cell towers for their campus in late 2010 in order to test the device, which is similar to the process Apple went through while prepping the Verizon iPhone. The device that's currently in testing is said to be 3G-only, although it's said that talks of producing a 4G Sprint iPhone are underway. However, those negotiations may cause the device to be pushed to late next year, meaning that if we see a Sprint iPhone this year, it likely will not be 4G-enabled.
A separate report from Talk Android reiterates one analyst's claim that the iPhone 4S will be made available to both Sprint and T-Mobile. The site claims that AT&T/Verizon and Sprint/T-Mobile will alternate getting a new iPhone each year, with AT&T/Verizon getting first dibs on the iPhone 5. Additionally, it's said that if and when the Sprint iPhone does arrive, its users will need to pay $89.99 per month for a data plan rather than the $69.99 Everything Data plan that Sprint currently offers. In the same report, Talk Android claims that Sprint is planning to begin using an LTE network, a rumor that has surfaced several times in the past.
Rumors about a possible Sprint iPhone have been around for some time, but they've been getting a tad more frequent and more detailed as of late. The possibility of such a device existing does seem a bit more plausible since the arrival of the Verizon iPhone, and it could make sense for Apple to make a Sprint iPhone available in order to bring even more iOS users into the fold. That said, all of this information is still firmly in the rumor category for the time being, so it'd probably be wise to keep a grain or two of salt nearby. What do you all make of the latest round of Sprint iPhone scuttlebutt? Is the iPhone nearing release on the Now Network?

90 bucks ugh no thank you. If I want an iPhone ill just flash miui LOL.

It will have to be a iphone9 to compete with the samsung sg2 releasing in july and the sg3 in the near future not to mention what the other manufactures have coming. If ICS is implemented in the 4th quarter/1st quarter 2012 to most phones and tabs to cure fragmentation Apple will be a pimple on Androids ass
Not to mention phonedog is so far up apple ass its hard to tell where one starts and the other one ends...just more of apples propaganda to brainwash the isheep

hah what both you said was very true=)
so are you guys going to get the 10.1 tab?

$90 a month? Are you freaking serious? No thanks... But if it is any consolation, I do think Sprint will be getting the iPhone in the near future.

I have trouble paying for my current bill haha. Can't even imagine paying more........

The galaxy tab is pretty 'meh' on my view. Limited/proprietary ports are the biggest thing holding me back from being interested in it. The 'Thrive' tablet that was shown at E3 lately was appealing, and then I found this:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/exclusive-dells-prototype-7-inch-tablet-touts-slide-out-split/
For me, a physical keyboard is a requirement (one reason I got the epic over the evo and others). Seeing a keyboard built into a tablet is awesome - it can be used when needed but doesn't require a battery draining weight adding bluetooth keyboard/case combo to pull it off. I've always been of the opinion that to add a keyboard in that fashion you've effectively made yourself a dumbed down laptop with a cell modem inside. That built-in slider keyboard is sexy though because it's out of the way when you can get by with touch-screen keyboard, but convenient and useable when needed for physical typing (when the virtual keyboard's screen real-estate useage is a pain in the ass).
I can't wait to see this tablet down the road.

More for less don't think so. The iphone lol what a joke the epic blows the iphone away. And with the evo3d and sgs2 coming soon why would anyone be intrested in an iphone. 3g at that. But hey that's just ppl on here. The uneducated masses who cant get enough of apple because its an iphone will proboblly still be intrested in this and raise sprints customer base so potentially a good move for sprint. But I wish sprint would turn away apple. And use all its energy too focus on android

Yup cant wait to place it along side my wifes ipad. Shes a 1st grade teacher and the school gave it to her and she thinks its a POS. Next school year theyre going to dump Apple and try Google Cromebooks and link the district through the cloud.
castro I hope your the 1st person on the planet to get the ota of gingerbread because the EC05 thread you started was truly epic
Best thread ever lol lol lol lol lol lol

what i think..................

What phone to upgrade to?

Hey guys,
So i've been going back and forth trying to decide if I should upgrade now or wait it out until something better comes along. I love my EVO, but just getting the urge to get something new...i have mixed feelings on the 3D and am pretty stoked for the Samsung Within to come out (supposedly in late July). Also I hear more and more rumors about the iphone coming to sprint this fall. Along with apple getting sprint towers to do some serious testing on their network in KS. If those rumors do become fact and I got a phone before they annouce it, i would be kinda of pi$$ed i didnt wait it out for the iphone.
So i guess im just seeing what you guys think - if sprint will get the iphone or not this year? Or if you have an evo 3d or if your waiting on one of the motorla's to come out or the samsung within...
Just hoping to get some discussion on what everyone is waiting on from sprint this year....look forward to reading everyones posts...

EVO 3D? (Maybe, IMHO until they address the bootloader, back off of it.)
iPhone? No. If you want an iOS device wait for a new iPod Touch to tether to any Android phone.
Samsung ___ (I don't trust them), You gotta love the spec sheet on the GSII though.
I'd wait only until September just to see what crops out. If the Nexus Prime comes out, I'd go for that.
Me personally, I'll be going to the EVO 3D just on the strength of the devs that are getting it as well & the fact that I actually like Sense based roms. I'll also be selling my iPod Touch 4 as I'll be buying the new iPod Touch #_? to tether to the EVO 3D.

Why would you want the iPhone. It's such a piece and android is so much better. I would say get the 3D or wait for the within and get that. At the very least wait for something better to come out. Please do not waste your money on the garbage iPhone.

i'm waiting for news of a SGS2, otherwise the evo3d is cool

Same here. I was hoping to hear some sort of announcement this week now that HTC's new flagship has already been released. Figured Sprint has agreements with the various manufacturers to stagger announcements so that new releases aren't downplayed by other major announcements.

Nexus prime, this fall.

I got my wife the EVO3D and she absolutely loves it. (She had the EVO 4G before)
Even stock it is screaming fast. Instant response to all the touches. Root does currently seem to be an issue and why I don't use it. Wireless tether is a must for me.
As great as the EVO 3D is I think I might wait till the Holidays and get the last greatest then. I am crossing my fingers that Sprint gets the new Nexus at launch since they have been buddy buddy recently.
If the iPhone 5 comes out for Sprint (I doubt it highly) that is a great choice as well. Not as versatile as Android but it does what it does better than anybody else.
Don't flame me, I am an Android Fan boy, but I know how to show respect to the competitors.

I'd wait it out.

OK maybe I'm just poor, but are you guys paying or planning on paying full retail? Unless you have a really cool rep letting you upgrade after only one year. Is there some awesome place selling phones for cheap that I haven't heard of? (like a trustworthy seller on eBay?)

For me, I'm still holding out until the real EVO replacement. The 3d is only meh to the original. Don't care enough about 3d and the dual core stuff is still just mediocre. When they slap in dual 1 ghz processors, then were talking. Until then, the original EVO is still way up there on list of bad ass phones.
Sent from my EVO

I'm leaning towards getting a 3D this week. I was going to wait for the SG2 after seeing all the negative initial reviews, but after playing with the 3D, I came away impressed. It's got everything I like about the Evo, with a form factor I like more and the 3D was actually pretty cool to see live. I'm still hoping the SG2 comes out late July as predicted so I can still make a direct comparison before any 30 day return window ends for me.

+1 on this...I tried the Evo 3d yesterday not impressed at all

I think my Evo is working just fine and probably sticking with it. I'm going to wait for the next generation of phones (quad-cores).

I can't stand Apple but have you guys read this article?

I looked at the 3D live and it was nice, but I'm not excited enough to drop a pile of cash for it. I spoke to a Sprint Rep on the phone and she seemed to think that I could get the $75 Premier discount plus the $150 recycle discount for turning in my EVO 4G and that would get me the 3D for free. But after doing more research, it seems like she was just confused.
As far as I can tell, I'd need to buy the phone outright for $450-550 and I'd be able to discount $225 from that. Leaving me another $225+ out of pocket.
The other option would be canceling my contract and paying something just under $200 for early cancellation. Then signing a new 2 year contract and getting the 3D for $180. But that still leaves me paying ~$155 out of pocket.
Is this math generally correct? Or is there another way to upgrade the EVO 4G to the EVO 3D for lower out of pocket costs?
As for which phone I'd upgrade to if I was willing to spend $200-300+, I'm very excited about the SGII but I'm a bit worried about the lack of recent news about possible Sprint coverage on it. I'm also very interested in the Nexus Prime, but by the time it is due out I was expecting to start seeing quad core phones coming out.
Additionally, now after seeing the recent network speed tests and how Sprint is so terrible and my recent problems with extremely slow 3G speeds, I'm seriously considering a switch to Verizon when I upgrade. Plus the fact that I'm seeing Verizon's 4G network expand so much faster than Sprint's (which after a full year is still not available in my area) and the fact that Sprint may be switching over to LTE.

That looks like an HTC or Motorola to me, not an Apple.
I must admit, it looks sexy.

yeah i did, just checked it out actually before coming over to XDA...can you tell im working hard over here. I can't tell if I like that form factor or not. I HATED the iphone 4 form factor when it first came out and thought it was the ugliest thing in the world then, but now I love it. If it does look like that I guess I'd have to hold it and see how it is.
What do you guys think - think it wil be a totally revamped iphone coming out this fall or just some minor upgrades, like being compatable with Sprint's network?
The SGSII looks sick as hell and i might have to snatch that up - really hoping the iphone comes to sprint tho - without the outrageous prices!
Thanks for all the comments so far!

IMHO you have to remember, if you keep worrying about the "next best thing" there will be something better to follow, right behind it. I'd wait two months tops, just to see what else will become available.
$155 - $225 for the EVO 3D isn't bad, its generally what you'd normally pay for an average upgrade.
BTW you can't mention switching to Verizon if you're looking to manage money, I don't think you'll be too excited paying more "out of pocket" per month than you have to.

Can you post a link to the negative reviews? I've seen nothing but raving reviews on this phone. It's nice to have a balanced opinion.

How is the SGS2 different then the EVO 3D, aren't they the same or similar specs?

HTC EVO 4G is Q2′s Best Selling Android According to NPD

Wow!! I think the XDA Developers have a lot to do with this!
A recent NPD report hit showing the best selling smartphones of Q2 and guess who’s number one, well sorta. The HTC EVO 4G is arguably one of our favorite smartphones of all time and it came in at number three on the list, but was the top selling Android of Q2. Coming in behind the phone with the fruit (iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4), which makes sense when you consider the iPhone 4 relaunched on Verizon and the fact that AT&T has practically been giving away the 3GS. Such impressive sales numbers makes it hard to believe that the EVO 4G released well over a year ago, especially when comparing it to some of the smartphones of today. This really makes us wonder which phone will overtake the original EVO’s run as Sprint’s most successful selling handset? These stats also make us want to chant, “we’re number one, we’re number one!” Well not exactly, but you get the point viva EVO!

What's crazy, is that the Evo is on "end of life" status, meaning they aren't producing it anymore. I would still take the Evo for $100 before I would spend $200 on the photon or the 3D.

Yea that sux, I can't believe they are getting rid of it. I love my OG Evo...

As solid as the phone is, I feel the developer community with the myriad of custom roms and kernels help put it on top. Well, I should include Sprint's pricing plans as well. Outstanding value combination!
