The 20th was the closest only because they originally had the 20th on the sprint site at first. Technically the guy That said the 21st has got to get credit cause that is technically closer and he was the one saying they would announcement would be soon like in the next day. And what we get a video of a comparison, sprint forums topics and blogs and the following day official announcement.
I wonder if sprint changed the release date from the 20th cause there were so many rumors about it. Oh well.

they all said EARLY first quarter.......well, I think its early enough lol.
anyone have any updates on this thing....good or bad?
Rumor on PPCGeeks from a Sprint rep is Feb 22nd. Take that for what it's worth.
Ill be sure to hold my breath..........................
What appears to be the test build for the new ROM was leaked a couple weeks back, so I'm sure it won't be too much longer(not more than a month?) until we see the official release.

I read a thing on Engadget awhile back about "T-Mobile invites us to 'come experience the HTC HD2' on March 16"
I thought there was supposed to be some big HD2 reveal today? Where is it?
hrmmmmmmm?
-Ash-
It's happening in New York tonight, so we'll know in the next few hours.
Seems like it's nothing new.
it was just them officially saying pricing and that it will be out the 24th i guess
Its Official $199w/contract and $450w/out contract
Its Official $199w/contract and $450w/out contract
I don't abt the announcement but here is engadget again:

Seems like Engadget was invited to the event tonight, but I don't see them doing any articles or blog on it.

As of last week, Sprint made it available for customers to sign up and receive updates on when the HTC Evo 4G would release. Today, Best Buy has done the same over at their website.
Now that Best Buy was officially talking about the HTC Evo 4G I thought I drop by one of their outlets and see if they had any information to share. A Best Buy rep, from the Geek Squad, had advised that they will be selling the HTC Evo 4G on a $199 Sprint contract plan. He had no further information other than this but we can deduce it must be the 2 year plan. So now that we know it is priced similar to the Verizon HTC Incredible (and the now defunct Verizon Nexus One), it looks like the final decision would be based on which carrier you prefer.
OZCAR guesses that customers will more than likely choose their new Android smartphone based on this criteria since the phones are almost evenly matched. Personally I would opt for the Sprint HTC Evo 4G as it does have a few added extras.

i think saying "a few added extras" is a huge understatement...
Excellent! That's about what I was hoping though I was afraid they'd put it like the TP2. A buddy of mine has the HD2 and I was checking it out since it should be pretty similar. I liked the size, didn't seem obnoxious in my pocket. Can't wait!
This site is EXTREEMLY duboius
This site is not a trusted site for information. If the $199 price point is accurate I will be extreemly happy, but honestly I am expecting to hear $249 on May 19, 2010.

May 19th, 2010? Just wondering if you read that date somewhere or if you are just speculating? The "rumor" I believe Engadget was stating is a potential release date of June 6th or 13th. May would be wonderful, but I'm not holding out too much hope for that date as of now...

That's the release date for the phone. The speculated full spec/price/plan information / media blitz is rumored to start in mid-May.

Again, June 6th/13th is the release of the phone to sale to the public. Mid-May is when the rumored date that Sprint will release all pricing/plan/formal release date.
In short, May is when Sprint will start pushing the device to the public, letting us know when it will be released, how much it will cost, and the plan details for it.
June 6th/13th will be when the phone is released so that you, me and John Doe may purchase it.

FroYo (Android 2.2) is expected to be announced on May 19th as well. I'm curious to see the upgrade path for the EVO 4G to Android 2.2. Hopefully it won't be one of those endless waits for an upgrade. Maybe they'll switch to 2.2 last minute before release(probably not...)

This is very unlikely, and has been discussed quite a bit. The Evo will be shipping most likely with a modified version of 2.1 that supports 4G, however --
The Evo team has been rumored to be working very closely with FroYo, and will support it upon its release. The Evo, although not shipping with 2.2, will receive the update in a very timely manner (after the N1, of course)
Gotta remember this is Sprint's flagship device, and Dan's baby - there is no way they're going to let this thing fall behind in any way of any other device.
Cost
Now let's see what the off contract price is as I just got my Hero in December.
Sprint is having a promo port a number from another carrier and you get 125 credit for it, plus their promo taht starts tomorrow of all mail in rebates are instant rebates. talked with someone and as it turns out both end on april 16th, questioned on when the best time to buy a phone and then swap it for the nexus and was told around april 14th would be a good time after i suggested it (tho i dont think he quite got the point of my question..)
i also asked for more info about the release date but alas nothing
anyways here is my chat log
Click here for image
I will attest to this as well
i Hit thanks because you're one cool cat

Don't know if you're seriously asking bro(Im bad at sarcasm) but....
They said "spring" and many people are saying mid april because they started pre orders already...
I was seriously asking, because so far the only phone I've received an email about preordering was that god awful Kyocera echo.
Im not even worrying about the nexus at this point....
i just discovered xda already has and Evo 3D forum
Its like heaven
http://now.sprint.com/nexus/?ECID=vanity:nexus#/get_updates
I guess if you put down fitty you get on the waitlist... but I didn't see a date...
My money is on April 17th is the release date.
Kyocera Echo, Nexus S 4G, and Blackberry Playbook should all release on that date. The only one confirmed is the Echo.
The reason for April 17th is that it is the start of the new pricing period, on a Sunday, already confirmed for Echo, and the first day after all the deals end. It's the best day for Sprint to release all of them.

Hear anything at all about an SGS2 on Sprint???? Been looking around, and it looks like no so far... guess we *****ed too much here and in the VZ forums!
i doubt that they will go on sale on the 17th but more of a coming soon with a release in may, sprint knows users jumped to evo or even heroc people are gunna want to jump up, a mid/late may release would be prime for the evo 3d.
also on april 13th sprint is going to be moving things around in their stores, which usually means they are setting up new signs etc for upcoming phones
Useful info, thanx!
Here is what I just found on LG's website. Not sure how recently this was put up:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/verizon
Hope that means the official release date and pre-order date are coming REAL soon! Sick of waiting for pricing and availability from Verizon... everyone else has at least SOMETHING out there (and AT&T has the actual phone in stores!).
reps at a store near me say november 5th for release, which makes sense since verizon is slow. also this is dumb that we have to send away for earphones.....it'll probably take a month just to get them lol
