does anyone know how much will cost
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
$2800 with a two year contract. $60,000 without a contract. That is in US dollars.
no one knows but id say full price without an upgrade will be more than the hero was...so probably around $500 +

Can you pm me his phone number? I want to pre-pay him for three handsets myself. Thanks.
Am I the only one that doesnt want the EVO here? I don't know... there's just a few things that draw me away from it.
Sorry for this rant, but I have to do it somewhere... okay, here goes.
First I don't know about you guys but Sense UI kinda gets old after a while, especially the HTC Keyboard, yeah I know they are gonna be making it a "larger keyboard" but its not the size that bugs me, its the layout. I don't like the whole press to get other characters like numbers and punctuation, imo the AOSP keyboard pwns & I think they should give the choice to use which keyboard you like best, not limit you to HTC's.
Also, I have a feeling this phone is gonna be wayy overpriced, sure its got crazy sweet features but I dont know... I just dont feel its worth it. For me, my next phone is gonna be the Nexus One (on Sprint). I feel they did that phone right, it's HTC but no Sense UI but not totally stock either.
Am I alone on this or does anyone get where I'm coming from?

Nexus one is a great phone as well, but is my second choice. I want the Evo because I prefer the bigger screen and I live in a 4g area. I agree that sense sucks, but XDA is going to be all over the Evo, so I'm not too concerned about custom ROMs.

damn and i was ready to give in an offer you the real froyo update... my inside sources at sprint have leaked it to me along with the chimp who wrote the kernel. I see your asian kid and offer you a aged bottle of jameson! or a night on the strip courtesy of my sprint chimp of course
I'd miss my trackball too though.
lol at the above posts. but on a serious note its been said to be about 300 after a rebate and like 480 with no upgrade.

His name is Kaiser Soce (sp?) and his phone number is (502)585-5961, wait for the short automated message to end. I told him to expect your call.
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......

The on screen keyboard on the iPhone is better than the one's on the EVO. At least they are for me.
In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

It seems like a more appropriately sized Evo 4G
It's an Evo clone, but with some slide hinge thingy? What's the point of that, other than a physical keyboard?
only info:
3.7 in screen
and a slide out.. something.. most likely a keyboard.
I am guessing it is the G2/ Desire Z remake for Sprint.
Cant wait for more real details!
My Sprint contact says it is a keyboard.
It looks like it might not be a bad phone, idk i would have to see more specs. Its still to new to know much about it. But wont be do for upgrade for another year so :/

I would love an HTC G2 on Sprint with Sense... I don't like the big screen on the Evo and I don't like Samsung. A 1ghz+ processor would be great too.

This is *exactly* what I was waiting for from Sprint. Something with a better processor, but not OMGWTFHUGE like the Evo or Epic (not even considering the Epic, lol). The slide-out keyboard is just an added bonus.
as long as that is a slide out keyboard and not a slide out speaker i may look into it.

If that's what you want, you ought to check out the Samsung Intercept. (yeah, yeah, most of us agree that Samsungs aren't as nice as HTCs). It's somewhat similar to the older Samsung Moment but kinda a step above it. My girlfriend just got the Intercept and really loves it. Very inexpensive too cuz it's not totally top-of-the-line. Released back in July.

I have a HD7 and im getting alittle bored of it, and the screen size is alittle too big. There is someone locally who wants my phone and $75. Im not sure if its worth it or not. i know it is hardware wise, but i heard the atrix lags alot compared to others xD Thanks.
the atrix is the fastest phone you will use ONCE you install another launcher. This would definitely be an upgrade.
The people complaining, are generally irked by the bootloader being locked (which will hopefully be fixed soon) and therefore are harder on the phone.

I returned the Atrix yesterday. I really liked it, very fast and an amazing battery, but I had issues with it. My main issue was voice quality. Every single person I spoke to had trouble hearing me. I also didn't like the camera, pictures didn't look good in my opinion. Also, had issues with gps not responding properly from time to time, but I think that was just an issue with my unit not all Atrix phones. Now I'm waiting a week or 2 to see if I get the Infuse 4G, that phone sounds sick!!

just because no one else caught it, you can't install sense on this phone. Sense is HTC's version of motoBlur. Since this is a motorola phone, no sense. you can make it look like sense by installing launcherPro and skinning it, but that's about it.

The infuse is a downgrade from the galaxy S 2. single core vs dual, and bigger screen which i dont want. why did you return your atrix?
If you got bored with your hd7 then you'll get bored of the Atrix really fast. Poor developement due to locked botloader makes for a very boring device. We're also totaly at motos mercy for fixing broken features wbich they' ve do.e a terrible job of so far. I' d trade my Atrix for an hd2 in a second.

Couldnt find the thread. I have only had my hands on one literally for about 4 seconds lol, and i really liked the feel in my hands and i loved the display. i like the small fonts and stuff.. motoblur looks good as well, just laggy. cant wait till someone ports miui to this phones well hopefully.

Lets go over this once. Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz, they are not just skins. They are woven into the android build by the respective manufacturers. To port to this phone you would need the ability to flash custom roms, which you can't do on the atrix. Yes there are a few like gingerblur, but those really aren't custom, just tweaked and skinned. Until motorola unlocks the bootloader (don't hold your breath that the devs will ever figure it out), there is no hope. This is why you probably won't see MIUI either.
getting past that, has there ever been a sense port for a non-htc phone? No HTC phone has had the same hardware as the atrix, so i'm betting it's hard to impossible.
not trying to be an ass, just making sure you understand. This is an awesome phone, just don't come in expecting all the openness of old HTC phones.
