Anyone leaving an iPhone (Any Gen) for Evo

I've only owned the iPhone 3G. I didn't want to be the first to jump on the 2G because I thought it was asinine for Apple to release their first phone on 2G when we already had 3G. I loved the iPhone but the main gripes about it were lack of customization. I did the whole jailbreak thing and got all these cool apps but with Winterboard and themes you'd run into crashes, apps just rebooting, etc.
I mainly switched because I'm pissed that the new iPhone will be minimal at best but yet many people will flock outside on launch day to get the device. I've owned Nokia phones with video recorders and a FLASH! It's frustrating to see a company nickel and dime people with *Magical & Revolutionary Features* that have existed on phones for almost a decade.
The only thing Apple has going for them is the App Store but hopefully Android will catch up and people will see the light.
I'm going from paying $250/mo with AT&T to $120-$140/mo with Sprint. I've since sold my iPhone two weeks ago and I can honestly tell you I don't miss it. I"m using a temporary crappy Blackberry 8900 for now until launch day.

I am giving up my 3GS for the EVO.
I have coverage issues with AT&T.
Like you, I am saving a bunch of money, even with the EVO 4G $10 surcharge.
I also am jailbroken. I admit the iPhone is an amazing phone and when you jailbreak it, its even better. I came from WinMo, had a Tilt and with xda-developers modding your phone is a completely different experience than jailbreaking.
I think the only thing I'll miss is the 32GBs of space to carry my music but then again, my iphone will just become an ipod touch and I am ok with that.
I pick the EVO over the next iphone for screen size, Android (long live an open OS), plan pricing, and overall awesomeness lol.
I am curious what the new iphone is going to have though.

Were going to test out the Evo's, and so long as it has good battery life, Sprint data speeds are = to AT&T and the phone isn't too big we will make the switch. Otherwise we will be selling our 3gs's for the new iphone hd's.

Why not just get a 16GB or 32GB micro SD for the Evo?

I have the incredible on one account from client that pays for my service and phone.
I have AT&T with the everything plan $120.00 a month. No tethering. IPHONE 3GS - jailbroken 3.13 - all sorts of stuff.
Not a big app person. I use Timewerks and thats about it as far as a paid app. I have never paid for anything else.
I already enjoy android so I will enjoy it 30% more with the larger 4.3" screen
Froyo 2.2 here I come. This will give it the boost without a hardware upgrade
I won't miss the Iphone. I had too many problems with mine. I am on my 5th warranty phone in less than 4 months - all lock ups/glitchy. No it was not the jailbreak. two of them didn't make it outside the Apple Store. Happened while I was walking out.
I couldn't complain to get a better phone the 3GS was the best they had.
I like HTC and their innovations so far. Keep them coming.

I am leaving the iPhone. I have been a fanboy since the 3G was released. I now use a 16GB 3GS and have been watching and waiting for the phone that would make me switch. The Incredible was close, but the EVO got the job done. Just posted my iPhone for sale on my local craigslist and eBay.

You do realize that this phone accepts MicroSD cards, right?

Pre-ordered Evo last week. Sold my 3gs yesterday. Bought a hero on a sprint account for a temporary phone that allows me to test android out and see how sprint is in my area. That way I can always return my hero within the 14 day period, get my Evo, and if I hate sprint/android or both (all very unlikely) then I can cancel my sprint account, still have my AT&T account for 2 months (altho already ported my number to sprint, hopefully can port it back to AT&T if need be) and when the next iPhone is announced if it's better than evo (also highly unlikely) then I'll go with that. My 3gs netted me $281.35 at the shack so money isn't a problem with any of these phones, and I have lots of options. Can't wait until the 4th!

Leaving Iphone 32gb 3gs
I admit that I'm a phone whore. I am in between an HD2 & Iphone 3gs 32gb. I started with the original HD, but the HD2 wasn't all that great. I am just worried that the Android Market will not have enough apps to keep me occupied. Thats the main thing that I like about the Iphone. Also, the apps on the HD2 from Windows Market place seemed out dated and tired. I hope Android does a better job than Windows Mobile.

Can't wait. Defiantly going to sell my 3gs after I got to play with the Evo at the Sprint store. It should be awesome with the Everything Family Plan.

Are you serious? You could have gotten more than $300 for the 3GS. You could have gotten more if it were on 3.1.2 software, jailbroken & unlocked. Could have fetched close to $400 if not a little more. Never sell your phone to Radioshack. Oh well it's all said and done now. BTW you can port your number back to AT&T.

more details good sir...I have a jailbroken 32GB iphone 3GS on 3.1.3.
I am aware of the 32GB SD Card myth....are there high quality ones out there? I haven't kept up since I had my tilt.

I'll definitely pick up a 32GB just have to look for a good price.

Im dumping my 3gs for the evo. I had the 2g, 3g, and the 3gs, sick of apples grasp getting tighter and tighter.

I already picked up a 16gb card for my EVO, still gotta wait until next week though. Don't know how much music i'll load, maybe only a few albums worth at any given time. Most of those 16 gigs will be for movies...gotta make good use of that kickstand!
Currently use an 8 gig card on TP2, most of it is movies running on CorePlayer.
Amazing the premium you pay to have that kind of storage with iDont.

I've been with AT&T since 2007 when the first iPhone came out. I've had the 2G and 3G, but passed on 3GS since it really wasn't much of an improvement. So now I'm switching over to Sprint, and I'm a little nervous about it due to my previous experience with Sprint during the Nextel merger/walkie talkie phase. Luckily, I have a 30 day guarantee if I decide that this beast (EVO) isn't worth crappy service. Worst case scenario, I awkwardly go back to AT&T if the iPhone HD impresses me or take up Verizon on the Incredible.

Good bye again :)

This time it's goodbye to SPRINT and the Hero but not goodbye to XDA.
I'm hanging my hat At the Captivate Portal now.

I would join you, but AT&T IS AN EVIL COMPANY. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. They ditched their unlimited data plan! The most you can get it 2GB/month. Their customer service sucks, their coverage sucks worse, and they lock down installing non-Market apps on Android phones. They are EVIL!

No more evil than Sprint.
*shrug*
Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.

Have fun with the iPhone network bloat.

lol @ AT&T. I'll never go back to that sh*tty company. Have fun getting f*cked over.

AT&T knows that Android is clearly superior to the iPhone.
That's why they're making all of their Android phones super ****ty and removing functionaity from them that the iPhone doesn't have. AT&T wouldn't have the iPhone exclusively if they weren't taking Apple out back of the building for some extra cash.

Well personally I don't care, but really? AT&T? The worst of the 4

We should start a betting pool for when (not if) he comes back to Sprint. I'll take dibs on 2 months from now. Any other guesses?

Kiosk in mall devoted to Evo??????

Sorry if this is old news, but I was in 2 malls this week doing some christmas shopping, and saw kiosks devoted ONLY to the Evo. There were about 6 Evos on display and 2 big evos like the iphones in the apple store. Funny thing was, one of them was setup right in-front of the apple store. Im sure that wasnt on accident! Go sprint!
PS, this was in Los Angeles Anyone else see these?

Is that the new EVO 4G Tablet on the side of the kiosk?

...because it just came out and is the headlining Android phone? Which brings me to my main point, does anyone think it's sad that the EVO is still Sprint's flagship phone? During the same time period:
a. Verizon had the Incredible, then the Droid X, Fascinate, Droid 2, and now the Droid Pro.
b. AT&T had the iPhone 4, Captivate, BB Torch, and now a slew of WP7 phones.
c. T-Mo had the MyTouch 3G slide, Vibrant, G2, MyTouch 4G, and now the Nexus S.
..and Sprint? The EVO and Epic. What's up with that? This isn't a which phone is better thing, just pointing out how much Sprint is lacking on the high end phone selection.

Since as a Premier member I can only upgrade every 12 monts, I'm cool with it.

Sprint's NEVER had the biggest phone selection. They offer a few fantastic phones and dirt cheap plans. Honestly though, I'd pick the Evo and the Epic over any Android phone out there right now though haha. The Nexus S would be the only one I'd consider, but not anywhere near enough to leave spring haha

T-Mo is arguably as cheap plus it's HSPA+ is free. With them you got the options of: the Vibrant (it's SGS variant but is "meh"), G2 (Powerful and slick slider with Vanilla Android), MyTouch 4G (which is just about the/one of the best spec'd phones out), or the Nexus S (arguably the best phone out right now).
You could argue that you'll just upgrade every year in June but how is that a good thing? I mean, look at that Shift 4G thread where people are arguing on whether the EVO is still worth getting? It's 6 months old, I would feel extremely limited and not to mention shafted if I needed to get a high end Sprint phone right now.
I just think that Sprint has to step up with some more phones.

Yeah, but the EVO is still a stronger performing phone than most of the phones you listed there. Aside from the Droid Pro and Nexus S there isn't one phone there that would replace my EVO. Those WP7 phones aren't even a consideration imo....

The Droid Pro is trash IMO. I'd consider the Nexus S, iPhone 4, G2, and maybe (but probably not) a WP7 phone. It's all matter of preference but the fact is that you got more worthwhile phones to judge and I wish that was the case with Sprint.

And what does all this crap have to do with the original question about the kiosk?

Agreed! I sell phones and I am yet to come by an android phone as reliable, fast, and attractive as the Evo. Sprint's got a lock on phone quality. All the other android phones you mentioned dont measure up...except the Nexus S.

I sell more evos than any other phone, half the phones i sell are evos, the phone's over 6 months old, still crazy popular, and has hardware specs that other phones are just now finally beating. HTC did an awesome job with it, can't wait to see their next phone after the shift.

I rather walk in the sprint store and see a few great phones that will fit my needs... maybe like a front facing camera? Or a 4.3 inch screen? HDMI out? 10+mbps of data speed? A kick stand to kick back in the office and watch Hulu at full speed? Or play Need for Speed Shift while waiting for my girl? Maybe use Fring to video chat with her since she also has a front facing camera? Or how about getting on the XDA app and laugh at stupid posts people make regarding sprint and phones and trophys about tours..
Oh crap.. i just dropped my keys.. let me use my twin-led flashlight to find them...
I found them!!
Where was i?
I was jamming out... downloading music with Gtunes.. i can also use windows explorer/music/copy all... dragging and dropping the music files i need without connecting to itunes and syncing...
I just got a notification on my Sony Ericsson Live View... i can see my twitter replys without taking my evo out of my pocket...
Aww crap... i lost wifi signal at work, so did my co-workers... ill just turn on my Hotspot.. there.. me and my friends have full speed 4G signal on thier pcs via my internal router on my Evo...
Im gonna watch youtube... let me connect my HDMI enabled phone on my 42 inch tv...

New phone suggestions

Hey dudes. Well, getting the itch for something new. After having my Epic 4g for over a year (and the fact I'm a phone whore) thinking of switching from crapola Sprint to Verizon. Network has been crappy to say the least in the last months. I've tried a multitude of roms, themes, but can't seem to shake it. Be that as it may, anybody in the same boat?
Any suggestions on what to get? I've been seeing the Prime talk and all, but who knows how long that will be before it comes out. I was looking at the Bionic, being that I can't upgrade to the Epic Touch, and again the crappy Sprint network. Any other suggestions?
Sorry to be leaving you all in a few weeks, it's been a nice run

Really? recommend AT&T?!?! I've been begging work to ditch their contract with AT&T and move to verizon so I could actually use the phone they provide me.
Just got the woman setup with the Droid 3 on VZW. It's nice and fast, but the custom rom scene is nonexistant yet.. The stratosphere should be out this weekend (so you don't miss yer epic too much lol) and i've heard a couple other phones are headed to VZW soon worth lookin into as well.

I'm thinking the Bionic right now. Was thinking the Droid 3, but after looking at both, I like the size of the Bionic. I looked at reviews on the Stratosphere, but it's not looking to "Next Gen" Best Buy told me that they would match the price of one I saw on Amazon Wireless at 130, so I can't wait for payday

wow! one year with sprint! :)

so I log in to check my bill at sprint.com, wanted to browse as i am looking for another phone to play with.. LOl
it's been a year, got my deposit back! wahoot!
seeing a little credit in there is nice, I have to say form all the stories i have heard about sprint being on these boards for almost a year, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, the financing department is first class, had some billing issues with them and they were as pleasant as can be. I do feel their service can be better in their stores, as My trusty evo's charging port let go back in november, and i had some rough spots tryin to get sprint to help me, so i went to htc and they resolved my issue no problems, so in a nutshell i am a happy customer!
now, do i want a design4g, epic4g touch, or photon4g? LOL

Totally agree with you. I have had a very pleasant experience with Sprint as well. Had a couple small billing issues that were fixed very quickly and drop less calls now than with Verizon. I used Verizon for 9 years but the cost was getting out of control. So far over the last 20 months, I have saved $2256 by switching. Total win

Sprint is great for the price. Just wait til network vision rolls out and coverage increases.

I have been itching for the epic touch 4g....

Grats! I remember when I got my deposit back...was stoked to have 2 free months of service basically. As far as upgrading your phone I would hold off on that. I just recently purchased the EVO 4G because I really wasn't too impressed with the newer phones. Granted they are better than the EVO but just slightly which to me isn't worth either the upgrade credit or the extra cash. Wait for some more ICS phones and then upgrade....i'm betting Samsung and HTC will come out with something great.

Sent From My Evo 4G Amped Up On Verizon Tower Power!

right outside of bayfield wisconson hmmm hour east of superior beaaaautiful up here and no computer repair business so here i am

I agree, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, their service is excellent.

Brad, I would wait until MWC. I am having the same debate, I am going to wait for my 2 years to officially upgrade but if I get the chance to try a different handset I will. My wife needs a replacement EVO but I am kind of hoping they wont have one and we will have to get something else... we will see. But HTC is going to be launching something BIG this year!

I'm waiting it out too. Galaxy Nexus, sure it has LTE but it is last year's technology. I have very high hopes for MWC and shall be revealed there.
Out of Design, Photon, or Epic Touch?
Design has basically no development community. Smaller screen, and single core just doesn't cut it for me.
Photon has Motoblur and it is a worldphone, if you're into that kind of thing. It has a small but quality development community, jokersax has put out some good stuff for them. Unlocking the bootloader borks 4G. You can relock to fix 4G, and you can't relock with custom kernels.
Epic Touch used to have Loss of Signal, which was an absolute pain. It is pretty much gone now. Took a while to get AOSP on it, but they have accomplished. They have the strongest development community out of the three. I think it is BML but I'm not sure. If it is, hopefully they will be able to convert it to MTD sometime in the near future.
OR wait

i can never wait for my upgrade i have about 4 months til my contract is up ... sadly i maybe switching to the evil empire (at&t) :/

thanks guys! think im gonna wait, love my evo to death, and i just got a kindle fire so i got a new device to hold me over haha!
you guys are the best

Hahaha I know that feeling all too well. I dropped my LG Optimus S a few months back and the screen just stopped working and I remember hoping I wouldn't be able to fix it so that I would be forced to get a new phone

I was a year and 6 months with sprint when they cancel my contact, for data usage when I was on unlimited data plan. Don't be, glad be sad haa ha

Have you considered calling them and letting them know that you have no service at your house. I was having the same problem as I live in a small town in southern california and they sent me a free airave. Granted its not the best solution in the world but it will provide you with coverage in your home as long as you have high speed internet.

I've had a few minor ups and down with Sprint as far as billing went, but next to nil issues with repairs or phone service. I wish it was my first year again. I've been with Sprint for close to a decade now.
As far as a new phone goes, I'm with one of the previous posters. There's yet to been a phone released that has made me want to make the switch. Especially due to many of the awesome ROMS that been developed for our phones in the past year or so. In some cases, it's literally like having a new phone every few months. lol

yes i have considered that but atm with google voice intergration i can still text fine over wifi so im content on waiting a little til i have more concrete plans and my internets its through phone company (it was through my cable in my previous town so i just hooked up a land line and/or use skype) thanks for the suggestion.
and my ex got the airave since it was tied to her plan damnit

I've been with Sprint since '99... And I've definitely had my ups and downs. Overall I'm very happy with my plan, unlimited, my Airave at no charge to boost signal at the house and my E4G that has a very mature development community... But I'm really hoping to see some quad core hotness released in the next few months...
