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...

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.

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yeah it sucks, i bought the damn phone for 500 bucks last october and its already outdated.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.

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.....

Trade for evo anyone??

I was looking for someone who wanted to trade there epic 4g for my evo 4g its brand new I just got it from sprint. Any one interested let me know.

If you just bought it, don't you have a 30 day return on it?
Plus, the "there", along with the runon sentence doesn't bode well for the seller/trader's credibility.

First: I just got it in the mail because I replaced my old one. Second: thanks for the language tip lol

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.

Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

I was just gonna say check on Craigslist. I started looking fairly late in the evening, and ended up trading my Epic for an Evo the next morning. Shouldn't be too hard.

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.

why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?

I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.

I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.

Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

maybe you shouldn't let craigslist retards bother you so much that you post on another site about it

I like how he tried to use his email address to establish some form of credibility. Congrats dude, you were the SECOND person who tried to get unlockwireless from gmail, either that you you just suck at spelling. How about you put enough effort into registering your own domain first, then maaaaaybe some people will take you seriously.. but judging by the way you speak to others I find that highly unlikely.

Call me old fashioned, but.....
Why would you talk to a stranger like that?
You must have known after his second email that you weren't going to be selling it to him. Why not take the higher road, wish him a good day, and end it there?

1.) Tell him "Ok, $150 sounds good" (After he shuts up)
2.) Meet Him
3.) *POW* "Does that look like a $150 phone?!?!"
4.) Walk away and wait for more replies.

Now don't get me wrong I know everyone want a evo 2, but nothing wrong with sprint trying something new out. And to those threatening to leave your contract because of this, lol like people haven't said this before and got raped with no lube by the next carrier you went to - give me a break.
[update] This phone is horrid, i tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, and i guess you can't do that with sprint (my first time signing up with them in sept ember), oh well wait for MWC.
