so my upgrade is due in a couple months and im not sure what i wanna get
so my choices are
evo
epic
hero 2
as of now those are the only ones i see worth lookin at
anyone know of any other phones comin out?
i love my hero but i know ima want a faster phone eventually
so confused =\
I'd wait. I'm holding out for the Desire. I don't want a giant phone but I don't want a slow phone.
i heard the desire is goin to At&t though
The epic looks pretty epic. It seems to fix a bunch of issues with the evo.

looks and sounds cool.... but..... why... you would think the evo is a better phone.... looks like the hero 2 is a small upgrade to what we already have.... my upgrade is in about two months.. im thinking the evo...
That post is from February. I doubt the Legend will show up as the Hero 2.
Hopefully there will be some new devices out for the Holidays.

that's not the hero2 or 3. there is no such thing. that is the legend that has been rumored to come to sprint since february. it's not going to come with those low end specs anyways.

because the processor is twice as fast..
I notice lag with the hero that the evo doesn't wince at.
dont' get me wrong I really like the hero.. but when multiple programs arent' killed off, I notice the lag the most.
the evo is much better than the hero.. even if you add some things to it.
now if you took the evo's processor and put it in hero.. i might be inclinded to
argue, that ti's debatable which is better.
I'm due for an upgrade in October and it's a toss up between the Evo and the Epic...

the legend isn't coming, it was a rumor. i too hope we get some different android phones by x-mas. im due for my upgrade nov 1st.
I'm wondering when/if Sprint is gonna pit out any more 3g phones. 4th is nice, but is not in my area. Although I 'm close enough to a 4g area that if I get an evo i'll get charged the extra $10 a month.

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?

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.
Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

whats after that? lol
i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.
well, idk about patiently...but ill be waiting...

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively

maybe not from sprint, but better devices are just around the corner, i mean look at the desire HD, the Evo just came out, and the second gen snapdragon core with a 3x better GPU is already here...not to mention the Galaxy phones, with their hummingbird cores and super amoleds...
Id say the EVO goes EOL by q2/q3 2011 but there will still be plenty of development going on here for at least few years. I been seeing more EVOs around town lately Im wondering if there's a Walmart selling them cheap.
My upgrade is in March also I hope something phenomenal is out by then.
Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner. Look at the N1 hardware vs. Evo hardware. I mean the processor + ram, not the 'camera'. It will only be a few months until dual core processors and parallel processed apps come through and make the Evo seem slow. For now, its a beast of a king though.

Of course they will, the inspire and the thunderbolt are the same phones in which both are basically a carbon copy of the evo which been out for 8 months with the exception of a few differences(mainly updated snapdragon and the newer version of sense). Anyway, sprint has too much riding on the evo name than to come out with an evo 2 with half assed specs.

It's got a better processor (MSM8255 45nm vs the EVO's QSD8650 65nm), more internal memory, MUCH better screen (SLCD), and Sense 2.0.
It's a better device, no question.
It's a better phone to be sure, but not a huge upgrade from the EVO. Though it's always nice to have choice, I'm sure some AT & T users would prefer another Sense phone.

It's internal memory is four times the size of the Evos, I'm sure that makes the new sense much easier to fit on there.
