I just wanted to know how many of us are moving to the evo and is there an exact date on when that bad boy is coming out? I hate to say goodbye to my hero I never learned how to cook my own rom for it lol
I will certainly be moving, we need more horsepower! The latest I've heard was "Summer 2010" with another person saying possibly late June.. but that's 100% speculation.
yeah we do need more horse power, im gonna miss my hero
My wife is dying to get rid of her palm pre so once the evo comes out I'll be switching to it and she is gladly **** canning her pre for my hero. I love my phone but it's android I love not the hero. Huge screen, fast processor, 720p video etc... No way I can pass that up.
I will be moving on to the EVO when my upgrade comes on August. My wife, like Aridon's wife, will also be tossing her PRE (thank god) to switch to the EVO.
yea my hubby is all about the EVO and he has a blackberry. He was going to breakdown and by the Moment, since I have the Hero, but when he heard about the EVO, thats all he can talk about! I'll probably get one next year. Ive invested waay too much time in my Hero to just chuck it! lol
yes i know what you mean i also invested alot of time in this hero, what pisses me off the most is phones get out dated so fast, right when the hero launches they are already talking about a new phone, then we sign a two year agreement so we cant get another good discount on the new phone, which therefore we must buy full price, its a brilliant marketing scheme, ugh i hate sprint
eBaying the hero and buying an evo.
The rumored release dates are June 6th and June 13th. I am definitely going to be getting it day one. Hopefully Sprint lets you pre-order so it isn't sold out like the Incredible.
I've already started my Evo savings fund. I love my hero, but the Evo brings so much more to the game.
im not going to get the evo. My upgrade wont be in until October of next year and the phone itself looks kinda bulky. I just hope that when the evo comes out the development of the hero doesn't die.
I hope that I am able to stand by my initial "I'll buy it once it has Root" - But I am starting to feel the pressure. damn you all and your peer pressure!!!

Actually if you are on a 69.99 or higher individual plan or you are the main line on a 99.99 or higher family plan you get an upgrade every 12 months. You didn't know that?

Wow, I am in the exact same boat, my wife likes the idea of the Pre but hates the battery life, how it just stops getting emails and txts, it struggles to get a good internet connection, etc. She is eligible for an upgrade so I think I will get the EVO for me and give her my Hero.
Aside from Sprint's 4G, the Evo will be outdated immediately when it comes out.
Android 2.2 Froyo will be out. And we know we have to wait up to a year to get it updated.
And snapdragon?? Oh please! We are getting 2 dual core 1 ghz processors with significantly better graphics with the Tegra 2. Heck, even Apple will release their weControlPhone 4th Generation with their A4 chip, which is nearly a Tegra 2, supposedly with dual core 700mhz-1ghz depending on who you believe and a much better gpu too, although half the capabilities of the Tegra 2.
My next phone will have to be Tegra 2 or better.
It's sad, but Sprint dropped the ball yet again on getting their good phones out quick enough. If Evo is released like last week, then *maybe* the Evo will be any good. But June??? It's a piece of outdated crap aside from the 4G, which I do not get in my neighborhood.

doesnt apply to me, i left tmobile to get the hero because i wanted it so bad and i was let down by the end product, it could have been way better, i mean with the design and all, and the dust under the screen etc, sprint rushed this phone to compete because at the time they had no android phones, see what happens when you rush. and i got my contract when the hero launched, so my year is next year, by the time a have an upgrade there will be phones chips in our brains...............and evo will be obsolete for me.
The rumors I have heard about the Evo launch all center around the dates of June 6th or June 13th as the most likely possible launch dates.
Not entirely speculation, but def not written in stone.

Dude really now... Name one phone with Tegra 2 coming out this summer for anybody, with 2 cameras, 4G, 8MP camera with dual LED & acts as a WiFi hotspot for up to 8 Devices with HDMI capability?
Not seeing anything getting outdated on the EVO. Plus this is XDA-devs, who here waits for updates anymore?

Be careful doing this, if the phone isn't activated on the line it was purchased for, you usually don't get the MIR if bought through Sprint.
Just a warning.
I'm getting the Evo really excited. I hate the random lags I sometimes get on the Hero, and the blasting speed of the Evo will take care of that for sure.
What's weird is I upgraded my phone to the Hero in February, but for some reason on Sprint.com it still says I'm eligible for a complete phone upgrade..? (I guess they never incorporated my purchase as a phone upgrade... sweeeet)
I wonder why Radio Shack took the Hero off of their website? I was going to get another one for my daughter and it's gone off of the site. I've called a couple of stores near me and they're out of stock as well...
End Of Life.
I assume that we will see another Lower end Android hit Sprint when the Evo drops. Either that or they are droping the Hero for the Evo - in which case you are stuck with the Moment/Moment2

because thats how cell providers work, i work for tmo, but i got sprint just to get the hero as well since the tmo service is free, which was a huge mistake because the hero was outdated the day it launched, but soon as a new phone drops, the end of life the one that just came out a couple months before it, for example, soon as mytouch came out, the basically stopped shipping us g1's like you could only find the ones that were left in the stores, it was sad because the g1 was only like 6 or 7 months old before they EOL'd it. i could see the hero going EOL because sprint is getting a few lower end android phones as well, from rumor that i heard. the hero is already using super old hardware why should sprint support it, they only launched the hero and moment just to have two quick android phones in their lineup to keep up with the other big 3 PROVIDERS.
IMO:
We will probably ONLY see higher end Android Phones hit the market from now on. I think this will be to catch the biggest part of the crowd who understands the OS and what Android is about - IE: Techies.
While an Android Phone seems to be a decent choice for everyone, I kind of regret getting my wife one. It's not Windows, she gets confused on how things work. The interface isn't as intuitive as Iphone which is, again IMO, the only phone worth comparing to Android for her use.
Give we might see a few Moto's/Samsung's come out, to try to hook the fence sitters, but a majority of Android devices from now on (especially in regards to HTC/Motorola/Dell will be the cutting edge - that is dated in 2 months lol.
Well, the Hero's first birthday or release anniversary is next Monday. How long have you had your Hero for, and when do you plan on keeping it until? I got my hero on launch day, rooted it in December, and plan on dumping it next month.
Got mine back in march and it's just been getting better and better with the outstanding dev support and dedicated community we have here. This had been my first Android phone, and what a wonderful introduction it's been!
I'm in no hurry to replace it, but of course some of the new handsets out there are damn tempting..

I've got mine since Oct. 8, 2009... from a Sprint store, I lucked out and was able to buy it two days before launch
I got mine in April when I came back to Sprint from AT&T. I dearly love my Hero, especially since I rooted, but those new phones are awful tempting. :-D
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
I got the Hero sometime when it started to get cold and dark here, ie October or November, and I didn't root the phone until early this year when I got tired of waiting for the official Sprint update (to 2.0? 2.1?).
That seems so long ago. The software updates from this community have been super but the phone is feeling old and underpowered. I get to upgrade in November.
I'd love to upgrade to one of the 4G android phones but wonder if I should wait a little longer until the next greatest phone is released.

Got mine in January. Rooted about a month ago due to wanting some froyo. My upgrade is in January. Thinking about waiting for the new mobile processors to be out to upgrade.
Got mine on launch day, rooted for some froyo a few weeks ago. I'll probably wait to upgrade till a new model makes me go "oh wow!" which nothing on the radar has done yet.
I will not upgrade until sprint has dual core phones next year... if you buy the evo or the samgsung your making a mistake.

A lot of us are in the same boat. The companies like to keep us guessing so we can't plan too far ahead. I've Googled a bit and can't find anything definitive on new phones in the next few months.
Any clue when dual core phones might be released?
I can wait until January, but if it's gonna be say April, I might as well have an Evo 4G for as long as I can. My market has 4G now and the tether would be useful.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't like having outdated technology for too long, but I would wait it out if it wouldn't be too long. Some of the people at my Sprint store say that 4G comes around these parts (Jersey Shore) in December and something codenamed HTC Sabor, dual-core 1.5ghz is coming out in April. With the rate technology is advancing, doesn't seem to far fetched to me.
Got my hero last November and still love it to death. I don't plan on replacing it when my upgrade comes next month, I want to wait and see what's coming out next year first.
Running cm6 is my only saving grace really. If it wasn't for that rom I'd probably have dumped this for the evo by now.
My main use of the phone is email, rss, and tethering. As long as it continues to perform those well I should be able to hold out till the dual cores arrive. I hope heh.

I got mine back in May this year. Rooted it, (thanks regaw!) and tweaked it with NfiniteFX's roms. It is my introduction to Android phone, and I've been impressed since day one. I'm keeping mine at least till my upgrade.
I got my first Hero in May..it lasted a 1-1/2 weeks..traded it in on a TP2..one of the worst mistakes in cell phones I ever made.I went through 4 of them before finally getting a Hero back last August. Rooted it on 8-26-10. This month Sprint broke my contract I had..and will be moving to a Galaxy S Captivate next week.
I can say it has been quite a bit of fun with them for the short time I've had them rooted.Too bad for the person buying it,since I will revert it back to 1.5 via RUU before shipping it in..( All 4 of my families is already sold and mine needs to be made stock so sad..) Hopefully the Captivate gets as much love from the developers as the Hero has..I've heard Cyanogen is considering porting CM6 over sometime..and if we can get the new Gold theme the Impaler and others have been working so hard on over..I'll be very happy..
I am not too worried about how it will fair against what is coming out.,and what is speculation.It has a very strong and quite separate CPU & GPU with gobs of storage and ram available,and when FroYo is out for it this quarter..will really come alive then. Being able to oc it as we have for the Hero will be a 2 fold job for the developers..one for the kernel..and one for the GPU..
I see faster and smarter phones with better themes on the horizon for everyone..

I got mine six months ago. I'm going to keep modding it until it dies, or until the dual cores come out. Whichever comes first.

i got my hero on launch day from best buy on the 8th of oct last year and i just upgraded to the epic 4g on the 8th of oct yesterday after getting a good deal from sprint
I got mine on release day. Had to drive all over the city to find a store that still had one in stock. I questioned it at the time but after I got the phone there was no such worry. It has been a great phone and I will hang onto until I find something else that can live up to the expecations I know have.
I am intrigued at what Palm might roll out. I had the Pre for almost a month before this phone and if it was for some bad hardware I would still be a Web OS owner. Android is great but Web OS was pretty awesome. So I will wait to see what else comes.

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.

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.

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.

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?
I'm a couple weeks away from being eligible for an upgrade with Sprint. I'm sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat as me. What phone are you looking to get next?
The EVO was as easy choice when it came out. There wasn't anything to compete with it other than the iPhone. I don't try to keep up with all the new phones until I am close to an upgrade. There is just too much out there to possibly keep up with.

Probably going HTC arrive. It will be nothing on upgrade next month and want to tinker with a windows phone 7 for a while. Evo will go to my oldest who is running a HTC hero.
If I don't like that then my wife's phone is due in May. I'll swap it out for something else.
Current Android family
HTC evo 4g x 2
HTC evo shift
HTC hero
Motorola Xoom
Viewsonic G-tablet
HP Touchpad (running classic nerd)
So yeah just want to tinker with something new for a while
My upgrade is coming up next month as well. (I suppose a lot of us who got the EVO on/near launch day are)
I've put a lot of thought into it and I think I'm going for the GNex. Unless I find out the GS3 devices are coming soon.
My wife got the white Evo when that launched (about a month after the original Evo) and she's waiting for the Galaxy Journal.
I would like to see Sprint carry the Xperia line, particularly the S model. Looks pretty sweet. Otherwise I would go with another HTC flagship device. I might also consider the Galaxy Nexus.
My upgrade is also in April (another day 1 adopter) I'm waiting for either the Galaxy Journal or the S3 (depending on release date) Definitely want an LTE capable device. Not sure if the Journal is going to fall in that category or not.
I'm eligible in June but I'll wait for the first Sprint LTE phone at the end of this year, so long as the suck-factor is low for it.
Sprint is aware that a lot of the Evo owners are coming off contract. I am betting the Galaxy Nexus will be coming out before we fall off contract to entice renewal.
That's what I will be going with.
whatever the next LTE sprint phone with huge screen+lots of features.. will be.
june, i'll be eligible for an upgrade, so hopefully we get something good by then
Upgrade next month here as well. Currently there is nothing worth upgrading too.
I'm hoping it won't be too long until we see some LTE devices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Couldn't agree more. The Et4g is nice, but I prefer HTC, and et4g has already been out for a bit now. I don't mind waiting to see what comes at all. Satisfied with my Evo.

Not due til the end of the year, so I'm going for the galaxy S III.
Not eligible till Feb. 2013 there should be plenty of devices to choose from by then.

I'm in the same boat but will wait and see what comes down the line. I got two E4GT phones for my kids and they are incredible. They lay waste to my EVO. Samsung really stepped up their game. I don't know if HTC will be able to compete from here on out since Sammy has fully commited to Android. I've used the Gnex and don't like it as much as the GSII. I really want a phone that has built in image stabilization for video. Other than that the GSII camera kills! Way better than my little Canon P/S.
I'm waiting for the GNex. I don't have choice since it's my dad's lines, but I think ICS is where it's at.

I am considering moving to Verizon for better LTE coverage.
OG EVO
I don't think I will be upgrading next month when my time comes. There is really nothing out IMHO that can still compete with the OG EVO. Meaning the custom roms, tweeks, etc that you can do to the phone. HTC makes a good solid phone and I would definetly have to stay with a HTC line
Not due till July so ill wait it out for the EVOX/jewel haven't heard to many good things from gnex owners
Pleasantly Mad.
I wanted to wait for the Gnex as well, but that 16gb non-expandable storage limitation is killing me. I want to be able to use my 32gb class 10 with my next phone.
