if it took about 7 months for the hero to become a "outdated" phone i take it the evo will be considered old by x-mas?
I dun think so. Eco is more high end and hero was very low end compared to other phones when it came out. N1 is still popular and even g1 is pretty popular

depends on what sprint releases next. i got to play with a epic and that lcd blows the evo out of the water. if it weren't for that touchwiz crap and lack of devs id buy one.
I have the epic its really nice but I might switch to the evo

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Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner.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.

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.

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.

Since we pretty much know the Evo 3D is a reality, who is planning on getting the device?
Not until I get my specs together.
EDIT: Heard Atrix is coming to Sprint (most likely a no buy from me, because of locked bootloader), Nexus S (promising), and Evo 3D (perhaps sprint's first dual-core phone?)
IF it comes out i will have one

It has almost been a year since our wonderful phone was release does anyone know when it will be discontinued?

That doesn't mean anything, as soon as the next best thing comes out the old ones are dropped fast. Phone companies are notorious for this.(Verizon is the big one) The Samsung Moment was EOL'ed, but still got updates. The Droid was EOL'ed as well but Motorola and Verizon still put out a Froyo update for it, and even replaced Droids that had the camera issue with Froyo with a Droid 2. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of the Evo was EOL'ed sometime after the 3D's release.

The evo is still on backorder some places, I doubt they'll discontinue it for awhile
IT will sell a long side the evo 3d
I think the thread title should be changed to "when will the EVO be discontinued."
The current thread title indicates or causes one to think that it has already been discontinued.
It'll be dropped to 150 after the 3d drops I bet.

I say when they get ready to launch LTE. Although, I would like to see an HTC version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not really into the whole stylus, nor 3D. I just want bigger, faster, more memory. Want to get fancy, include a optical, non-digital zoom for the camera.
I think ICS will make my decision for me. IF the OG EVO can get an AOSP ICS build (with or without WiMAX) I'm going to keep it until I see how Sprint's LTE rollout goes. I'm gonna tide myself over with a Windows 8 tablet when they launch...
