That would be incredibly awesome!
The "sexy lady" I mean....
But really, EVO slider tablet? Damn sick.
In all honesty, when I read that article I went from to :| to X(
Okay guys, we had a run with our top of the line phone. Kills me that we're about to be outed by the "EVO 2". Wasn't expecting a predecessor so quickly.
Lastly, I was at a public event here in Las Vegas, Nevada today called Aviation Nation where the US air force does a little bit of showing off. Well anyways, I saw a surprising amount of EVO's there, at least 6. Versus 4 or 5 iPhone 4's.
What can I say? Phones gone particularly mainstream.

You're completely right, I just called and told them to delay their dual core designs.

I have a feeling this is going to be Sprint's version of the Desire Z/G2. Stoked on the keyboard. Not stoked on the .6 inch screen size drop.

While you're at it, tell them never to release the WiMax 2 Standard and to be sure that all of the newer version of Android 2.3/3/4/5 and so on will work on the HTC Evo.
Also, get Steve Jobs on the line and have Apple file for bankruptcy.
Thanks man, totally appreciate it.

Where does it say the screen would be 3.7 inches? I looked over the article and application, and neither mentions any specs, let alone screen size, unless I'm just blind, of course.

The Desire Z/G2 is 3.7". It also might be a Sprint version of the Merge coming to VZW. That one has a 3.8" screen. I'm just going by the leaked pic of the Knight/Speedy from a couple weeks back. It was noticeably smaller than the EVO.
Do you think it'll be more like shift or evo?
I hope it'll be evo size with full slide out tilting keyboard like touch pro2. I can deal with a little more thickness. But I don't think I want something I can't fit in my pants pocket.

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 :/

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.

Apple does have to pass the FCC. I'm not sure how they're getting around it being published ... Maybe no one's looking for Apple or they do something crazy like file under a different name, but it has to pass the FCC to be able to sold to the consumer. For testing, they can get an exception, but not if it's going to be sold.

IDK imagine if it's a dual core processor... That's the direction that a lot of the newer superphones are heading. One thing thing my boss and I were rolling around was the possibility of a 3D phone. It'd make sense with the announcement using David Blaine. He is an illusionist anyway. But in doing some surfing we found this vid.... It's on a N1 but if they could make the whole phone like this, it'd be pretty damn sick... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp2wyY2caI4
only thing i could think of is this:
http://www.dvhardware.net/article.php?thold=4&mode=nocomments&order=0&sid=43613
That e-reader idea sounds like it could be a good one or it could be like the epic or other slider phones but instead of the keyboard it could have a slide out touch screen instead allowing you to have a virtual keyboard, game pad controls, or whatever else you want to use it for. That would be sweet if it was like that little dual screen laptop that came out not too long ago. Bad ass!!! I bet it would suck the battery juice faster than you can say...

I'm still within my 30 days, so I'm going to the Sprint store tomorrow to trade this Epic in for an EVO.
I have played with the EVO quite a bit (couple of co-workers have it) and my reasons for trading it are:
1. I hate the clunkyness associated with having the type of keyboard that the Epic has. It drives me insane! I am not a gamer, I don't need the keyboard. I <3 Swype.
2. The EVO feels solid. Partially because it doesn't have a keyboard like the Epic, but it seems to be better built, physically.
3. The quality of display difference really isn't that drastic. Hold the two side by site. I think the difference is often exaggerated.
t;dr: The Epic is like a shiny, pretty car with a great motor, but it physically feels like a cheap plastic body and it drives me nuts.

I can't say that the difference isn't obvious, but it's not "better enough" with the Epic for me, personally, to enjoy a phone that feels as clunky as the Epic does because of the shoddy keyboard mechanism.
I'm not here to flame, I personally don't have an interest in which phone you prefer. But as others have said, if you prefer Swype why would you even get a phone with a hardware keyboard?
I agree the EVO has a more solid feel, but I attribute this to it being thinner, and not having the slider.
Disagree about the display, especially outside. Are you sure you had your brightness turned up?
Anyways, enjoy your EVO...

I don't see why you need to be insulting people who want to get a Nexus S 4G. It seems like a good phone for someone who wants to have the latest android releases immediately available to them. My wife is probably getting the Nexus S 4G as an upgrade from her HTC Hero. The main reason is that she loves CM7 on her Hero and I can't guarantee her CM7 (or future CM releases) on any other phone for sprint. You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

That bug wasn't Nexus specific, it was common to android. One of the developers at Google made a blog post about it a while ago.
Yes, i see your point for CM7 on the Nexus...
Are you guys forgetting the Evo3D is right around the corner?
Along with its HUGE Dev community and CM7 pretty much already guaranteed for it....
Screw the GS2 b/c after overclocking the Evo3D i doubt ill need anymore speed...
Yes the 3D is a gimmick but the specs of the phone is so tempting.
GS2 will be out like 2-3 months after and i don't see them getting updated till next year by sammy because we all know how that goes....

You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

I think he was referring to anyone who would be paying full price to go from our epics to its fraternal twin... now from a hero to a nexus, BRILLIANT! I would never be able to hang onto a phone that long though..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
When I get a new phone....hopefully...soon, I'm not real sure what it will be. The Nexus just feels AWESOME in your hand but I'm used to the slide out keyboard. The GSII sounds awesome as well but we saw how the support was on the Samsung side plus TW makes development SO much more difficult.
The Nexus S 4G isn't really a step forward like the GSII or the EVO 3D will be. It would also be hard to leave the SAMOLED screen for Super LCD/TFT. Decisions...Decisions...
Been using a 3 years old Palm Pre and have been amazed at how it just works. The specs of the HP Pre 3 look to be pretty solid. I love how emails works correctly on the Pre. I hate the unreliability of email polling on Android in general.
O o plus the Nexus S 4G doesn't have an XDA section.....

I really love WebOS but when the hell are they going to come out with a newly designed phone model for God's sake? I understand some people still like it but I don't see why they can't have a little variety.

Don't think the Nexus is without its problems, from what I've read the screen seems to be very susceptible to cracks thanks to the curved shape and there is a bug with the messaging app that sends to thewrong recipient.

great cool teh evo 3d will have cm7. and when 2.4 comes out the nexus will be rocking that for a good while. and assuming that htc locked the bootloader like they did the thunderbolt then when it comes time for the evo3d to get it.. well it wont, not without an official 2.4 kernel and yes i mean that will include cm8

I think he meant the Evo 3D. Hes torn between choosing the SAMOLED Nexus S or the SLCD Evo 3D (which in reality is a qHD screen).
