Sprint to anounce release date of supersonic?

I seen a rumor that sprint premium account holders got a message saying look out for an announcement of a groundbreaking new device tomorrow. Supersonic anyone?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/03/23/htc-supersonic-to-be-announced-on-march-24.html

I love it. We are such phone geeks that we get excited about an announcement of another annoucement. I read VZW is announcing the Nexus tomorrow and been inpatiently wating. We are proud nerds.

I don't think it will be the Nexus. It will be the HTC incredible or maybe both?

Ay, that we are.

Available this summer.... http://now.sprint.com/evo/?INTCID=CM:AB:20100323:UHP:Masthead:EVOPrelaunch:1000x190

I hope it's not too pricey, this may be what replaces my Vogue.

It's looking like goodbye to SERO...

Necro... but still...
I remember the days when I actually started the countdown to get my EVO on launch date... damn that was the best phone back then (tech wise).

The zombie apocalypse has began. Grab ur shotgun and protect ur brains
Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app

I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.

You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.

sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.

For Those Wanting Remote Control

I have noticed several threads lately of people wanting remote control of their Android phone.

As a self proclaimed Mod, I ban you for your High Treason. You will be hung at dawn by your HDMI cable. May God be with you.

Ok, so the most amazing thing about this app is it mounts your system in a way that lets you see it as a folder structure... VERY COOL indeed!!

i'm sure i will, got offered a free one from a sprint buddy, but the option was take this now or wait until something else and he had a big smile so i decided to wait. i'm hoping he wasnt messing with me.

damn dude, sucks to be you. I mean what a decision... take a free evo now or wait a while and take a free "whatever comes next"
I'm so glad I only had the options of buying an evo or not buying an evo

I had messed with this one, but the 1 issue that would keep me from using it is you have to be connected through USB.

dude, if your friend indicates it will be more than a couple months you should take that evo and sell it when the next something comes out.
This phone is ricockulous (I thought I was funny in HS when instead of saying ridiculous I started saying ricockulous )

sprint discontinuing the hero?

i was reading on another forum that sprint is going to be discontinuing the hero and the moment? is this true? if soo im really ticked considering these phones are less than 10 months old.

i just talked to my friend who works at radio shack and he confirms these phones will be discontinued and not carried for much longer. are there any sprint workers here that can confirm?

I'm trying to make a witty and profound response, but I can't concentrate. Oh mister pit, mister pit, oh mister pitiful.......

yeah it sucks, i bought the damn phone for 500 bucks last october and its already outdated. hows that for some silly ****.

yea i remember staying up late waiting for updates at like 3 in the morning now its pretty empty. thank god to faithful commited devs that keep the hero intresting...... (sigh) i need an evo

id think most users would be pissed right now. i think if they are doing this, it's just to get users to get a droid phone with 4g so we can pay that 'coolness' fee. no reason for you to take offense, this isn't geared towards our small amount of devs here, im talking about sprint/htc. even the damn 1st gen droid got 2.2 and it's about to be discontinued.

im not talking about being outdated. YES in comparison to other droid phones "evo" it is outdated. but i do not agree with them stopping selling or carrying them yet.

I honestly... don't give two ****s. It's the progression of technology. To move with the times, you need to improve with the times. I think it's not bad to discontinue the Hero, but it certainly isn't good either. Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo......

There's an Epic section on XDA. Doesn't matter which phone I get, I'd just be loading AOSP or CyanogenMod on it. But please, come down, from that cloud you're sitting on, I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong.....

Adios HTC Hero.....

Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

Hey impaler I just want to thank you for putting your time into the themes that you did for everyone and the htc ime keywords. Have fun with your samsung epic 4g.

Is this an android phone?

Link to picture: http://www.cellphonesmarket.com/new...n-Sprint-for-79.99-with-a-2-year-contract.jpg
The Motorola i886. Its a nextel direct connect phone that i saw while looking at sprints phone shop online. However, i noticed it looks exactly like android, and when i looked at the guide, it has a notifications key, 3 homescreens, widgets, etc. Just curious, cause they never mention android when talking about the phone.

Yes. It runs android 1.5 but without a touchscreen, it's so heavily modded it's barely recognizable as Android.

Yeah, that's why I came here. I thought it was, but then I thought "Well maybe, moto took their experience with android and created a cheap look alike for it", so then I wasn't sure. Lol that's a weird look for android though. I'd rather have the i1 if I was using nextel.
