I keep seeing posts about the Nexus One. FYI

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/google-updates-nexus-one-page-tells-verizon-customers-to-get-a/
Google already updated Verizon with news that their new phone will take the place of the Nexus so I believe the Evo will also take the place of the Nexus for Sprint.
The reason why is because of the new phone specs that leave the nexus behind. The multi-touch screen for one.
Read the link and you will understand too.

K..............

The EVo is the brand new hotness the Nexus1 is old and busted?

i love the n1 i wish it would have had longer lifespan because now the evo and htc incredible and making the nexus one look like a hero...

No, the Sprint Nexus One will still be coming out, most likely by next month. Only reason Nexus One was cancelled for Verizon was for the reason that the Incredible and Nexus One have very similar specs, but the Incredible has a few more advantages. They wouldn't really want a similar phone with similar specs. As for the Evo and Nexus One, they don't really have similar specs, one being that the Evo is 4G. It would be smart for Sprint to pick up the Nexus One as some people don't like the size of the Evo such as me.

what theme are you using?

I really hope Cellular South stay on top in the Android phone game. I hope to upgrading my phone by the end of this year to a newer faster Android. It would be nice to see CSouth with the incredible or Nexus One.
By the specs it's just as good.. and might I say better.... than the Nexus One

the N1 will be out in may or june.

His theme is seriously one of the best I've seen. I run it without Sense. It's freakin' great! And I've told him that several times. I love it.
As for the N1, I heard in a few weeks. So, I will most likely getting it. Sure, I'll have to fork out the money, but the Evo or Sprint rather will not be getting 4g in my area for a while. Granted I do live 1 hour from Atlanta, GA and that city has 4g already, but how long will it take to branch out from there? I don't know. Plus, I'd have to hold the Evo to see if it is too big for me. The N1 seems to be about the size of a phone I could handle. I keep my phone in my front right pocket. The Hero is a great size. But it seems that the N1 is a bit slimmer. I hope so. I can't wait to check one out at the Sprint Store/Best Buy. Sure, Evo has some cool features, but if you don't have 4g, it goes to waste....And Sense is nice, but I find myself not even using Sense anymore. And the N1 has a trackball. I have found it useful many times when typing and having to go back and select something...While using my finger to select it just did not get it. Kinda frustrating. So, yea, I think the N1 is my choice. For now.
It would be a good idea for Sprint to get both. As well as Google. I mean, I am sure the CDMA N1's are just piled up since Verizon just dropped out of the deal. Sucks cause I would like to know how many would have sold.

Damn straight, Agent J.

Sprint better get the Nexus. There is no way in the world I would waste my money on an EVO. It's just not worth it... other than 4G its not appealing to me.
Nexus One FTW.

You forgot to mention that you don't care about an 8mp camera, front facing camera, extra 512mb ROM, 4.3" screen or the next generation touch sensor that the Nexus will never get.

If the EVO had no Sense UI out of the box, I'd be happy. But I'm through with waiting for HTC & they're delayed updates. The EVO is supposed to have 2.1 when honestly I think thats pretty lame if 2.2 is the new deal.
Sense UI just ruins it for me & I know they'll come out with an AOSP rom or whatever, but I dont wanna have to wait for that. And the least the EVO could do is put on a virtual trackball like the Legend... I find it pretty lame its only a touch screen.
Maybe they'll improve overtime, but the EVO is just not there for me IMO.

Outdated already?

is the Evo 4g basically outdated already? with the samsung galaxy s and the droid x coming out all i hear are better screen better processor pretty much better everything since even the 8 megapixel camera on the evo is lousy. really makes you think....

no phone will be the best for more than 3 months, ever

Not being the latest thing doesn't equal outdated. Frankly after having the CDMA Hero forum here be such an asset to me, I will follow the phone with the most developer pull.
Evo is it for me until Sprint drops the next flagship, then I will continue the never-ending game.
Huzzah for competition and technology!

The camera is actually fine, idk what problems your having with it but it will get better thanks to our amazing devs. yes it has a few quirks they are working out still, but im sure the droid x might or the samsung epic 4g. its apples and oranges, sprint vs verizon, 4.3" touchscreen to hardware qwerty. all clocked at 1GHz. i dropped $500 on the evo and dont regret it at all. plus we have the strongest dev community at xda, cant underestimate them either.

There's always something better just around the corner. The EVO is a great phone, are there other phones that may be slightly better coming soon, yes. It happens every year in every industry as companies build toward christmas and then there's a lul during the winter months as they put the finishing touches on their spring/summer releases. It's just the way the industry works.

I don't like Samsung since they have a bad track record of handling their older devices. Plus the modification on the UI makes an update seem even more delayed. Evo is still the best bet IMO.

i personally like the evo alote. done some modding here and there and now im just really hoping that there able to break the fps cap on the 002 devices. it runs smooth never have i had to restart it unlike my old hd2 that needed atleast 3 restarts per day. its a great device and i guess like someone else said its a never ending cycle of better devices coming out.

droid x is missing a frontfacing camera and is on verizon which will cap data soon.
Its other hardware is definitly better, but i dont think it would noticable under 95% of the conditions you use your cellphone for.
Also motorolla locks there phones down making it much more unlikely it will have a large dev community.
The galaxy is also probably a little better and a version is even coming to sprint. But still not worth the hastle of trading in the evo now and waiting for it. By then something even better will have been announced.
I think the evo is still the best option for a year or so when the next iteration of smartphone comes out. probably dual core

Evo is Sprint's flagship phone for a while. I doubt they'll be dropping a new one anytime soon. I'm happy that newer Android devices tops another. It helps the overall goal of the 'Openness'. I welcome something better. Because I know that theyll get ported over to the Evo.
From the HTC Evo!!

Except that AMOLED is awesome. There are a couple other good things about the phone as well. It's a solid choice for a phone.

Samsung managed to fit a QERTY keyboard in a 14.2 mm phone. It is only a 1.5 mm thicker than the Evo (lot of wasted space inside).
The only thing that I'm not impressed with the Evo is how 'thick' it is. Galaxy S and i4 are both so much thinner.

Sprint was smart by releasing their device first. Now everyone is following suite. WE can say that all these other phones are "me too phones."
Definitely not outdated.
Droid is not 4g. But the Galaxy Pro is with Sprint so they have 2 4g phones now (if only they had the 4g network!)
The droid has the same TFT LED screen as the EVO (slight higher resolution, though not noticeable to the eye from what I can tell). Samsung is now withholding their AMOLED technology for their phones for the time being.
Each company needs a comparable phone to stay competitive.
Because all these phones are coming out within weeks of each other, the Evo is not getting the press anymore. Hell, now that the droid x is coming, the iphone4 has lost media attention too.

Hmmm well the epic might be the phone for me since it is similar to the Evo but you can play emulators on it due to the keyboard

good luck with Emulators considering that Samsung devices do not recognize multiple keys at the same time. Try pressing forward and turning...it doesn't work.
Samsung may look Greener but don't be fooled into jumping the fence.
...Just my opinion from using too many Samsung Devices.

Hardware, like most Samsung products, is usually pretty immaculate - can't complain about that. TouchWhiz UI is likely garbage as with most Samsung products software.
So with Root and a competent developer who could get AOSP working - Rockin.

My problems with the moment were hardware related. I'm going to keep an eye on this phone though. I want a kicking 3G phone though since I don't live in a 4G area and hate the idea of paying extra for a feature I won't use.

Im happy to see this come to sprint..for one reason..they need it. more android..look at verizon.. lol

This is like phone porn. I'm all horny for touchwiz 3. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/

Think this will be my next phone, i'm tired of waiting for HTC to put out a killer android phone that has a slide out keyboard. I have had bad experiences with samsung phones in the past (they were before smart phones even existed) but i'm willing to give them one more shot with this phone.

I've never had a Sammy phone. I had a couple Sony Ericsson's and then the HTC Wizard came out, been with HTC ever since. The hard qwerty is what drew me to HTC, I had no idea places like xda existed. It's been over a year since HTC has made a keyboard phone and the HTC Vision has one but I think it's only going to Tmous and I can't do that because they dont have a single 3G tower in Arkansas... I'm presently on AT$T because when I first got a cellular in 2003 Cingular was the best carrier in the state and I'm a creature of habit so I've stuck with them. But, they suck about picking up phones I like, the iPhone has hamstrung their network, and they're handing out free femtocells but when I called about that they basically told me to fu*k off. My two complaints about my TP2 are slowness and no headphone jack. Epic 4G/Galaxy S Pro ameliorates both of those to a t...
So, how do you people like Sprint? They'd save me money and I like the new phone every year... Also, what's the build quality like on sammies? Last question is are they as easy to take apart/repair as HTC phones are?

I have to say that every samsung phone I, or anyone I know has owned, holds up like a tank. They drop them, throw them and step on them and they are fine. I wouldn't be that rough, but its nice to see.

Really? I was a little worried about build quality since they seem to use a lot of plastic and little if any metal. I'd love for Epic's slider to be as firm as the Droid's but wasn't expecting much.

Well, their initial quality is what it is. But they stay in that condition with very good resilliance in my, and my friend's, experience.

I have a sammy dumbphone, the a727, and it has amazing build quality. Soft touch plastic, super thin and light, great battery life.
Samsung can make a good phone if they put their minds to it. The epic seems like the best galaxy phone, mostly because of that soft touch back. Getting the soft touch battery cover for my Pre made it feel five times better, much more solid and durable than the crappy glossy bendy plastic that is default on the pre(and the other galaxy variants).

Can you see how far we've gotten in the world of on the go? =)
Another thing. Isn't this video just beautiful? --> Epic

What will be your next phone?

Just wanted to see what everybody was going to get after owning their Epic, if y'all ever do want to leave it. I know many people absolutely hate Samsung after owning the Epic, but I still think they make great phones minus the plastic they use. So what will y'all be getting next, or will you just jump ship on Sprint all together?
But on topic I will most likely be going to the Nexus S, just because it's a Google phone, that or stay with my Epic. But if the Evo 3d is really 3d I might not get it. Not really wanting that feature. Actually really confused on what to get ha
From My Command Center... (aka basement)

I don't see a reason not to get a phone just because it has a feature you don't need, just disable it...
But IF the Evo 3D turns out to be the Optimus 3D with the OMAP 4430 then that is what I will get, otherwise I'll hold out for a phone with the OMAP.

I'm going back to AMPS

I'm swinging towards getting a Nexus S too as soon as it drops... I can't stand some aspects of this epic

I know ALOT of people say the Nexus S is basically another Galaxy S phone, but most Nexus S owners say its a completly different phone. So I think I'm going to get the Nexus S and test it out and see how it performs against the Epic, and go from there.

I'll know in October 2012. I may not even want a smartphone at all.

Not a Samsung for sure. To be honest, I really thought that the Epic was the best of the Galaxy S phones. And with all the hype and advertising money behind it I thought for sure a ton of devs would get an Epic. Well that hasn't really happened.

Well the internals are the same.... but it's a whole different approach to the OS and hardware.
It doesn't have Gorilla Glass, doesn't have an SDcard slot, and it doesn't have some of the other tell-tale signs of SGS hardware.
It's actually most like our epic though than other US SGS phones. It at least has a flash and a FFC (If you use it.... I find it a useless feature on my epic, purely useless). It doesn't have the keyboard, which is actually 100% a benefit for me. I hate how my Epic feels and I know I'm not alone in saying that my epic has a loose screen because of the sliding mechanism.
Honestly the way I see it is that the Nexus S is a slightly different version of our phone, with a little bit more durability because of the lack of keyboard and a lot more longevity because it's a direct from Google supported phone. That's the real kicker for me... I've spent hours trying to make my phone less like an SGS and more like a normal Android phone. I'm running a rom without a trace of TouchWiz, I have had launcher pro installed since the very first day I got it. I have a Gingerbread theme to make it feel less Samsung based and more AOSP-ish.... I don't want a single thing that's related to Samsung that isn't direct AOSP. That's why I think the Nexus S will be perfect for me.
Oh and did I mention AOSP and no keyboard?

Whatever I buy it will have a PowerVRSGX54x graphics chip. Has anyone seen the benchmarks from the iPad2? Holy ****. Yea, I will be staying away from any Tegra 2 device, what a bust that was. I mean completely outclassed within 2 weeks of launching on a mass market tablet. Ridiculous.
Just for those wondering, our epic is basically an iPad. Almost identical hardware. So I will be looking for a phone with hardware similar to the iPad2, or the true sequal to our Epic4g.

I have an EVO and I'm switching. Don't get me wrong. I love my EVO to death and have had a blast with it. What I'm switching to the NS for is the Screen, battery life, and updates. I like the EVO screen but the SuperAMOLED screen is clearer and smaller to a size that I like better. 4.3" is too big for me to carry in my pocket. Battery life also. I have an extended battery and don't like the added bulk plus you add a case on top of that? It's just not comfortable for me. Updates is self explanatory.
I love the EVO but I gotta move onto something that fits me better. I'm passing the EVO to my mother who has my old Hero now. She needs something else to cause everyone knows the Hero is well behind standards now. I'll be following up here still. Once that Snap v9 kernel comes out, you can bet I'll be first one to get it!

I personally would love to have one but I want to see how the community welcomes it. I know it's stock android and some people love that but I just want to be sure there will be some steady developers on it. I really hope sense can be ported to it. It's obvious the phone is better than the evo spec wise but I will really miss Sense if I leave the Evo.
Size, speed and updates make it worth it all alone.

My g/f pre-ordered the Nexus S 4G and she was the first one in my area to pre-order it (at least in that particular store.) I'm excited for her to get it and see how it stacks up against my Evo. I know being pure Android it's going to get the updates before anybody else. I also want to see how the screen is.

I gaurantee it will be ported.

The only thing I like about sense is the browser and dialer, other than that I don't use any of the other functions it offers. Im still on the fence about the nexus, but im sure ill end up using it until the E3d drops.

I'll probably be switching. The look up comparison videos and you'll see how much better the screen is.. Plus faster updates and newer hardware. The specs are the same number wise but the ns is a superior piece of hardware
