Anyone else heard this? Was just in a shop today with a friend to help her check out the Samsung Galaxy...but the rep said that they expect a HD2 with android to be coming out later this year.
(Then she suggested in time for holidays.)
What is this rumor and has anyone else heard it? I could understand it happening as the HD2 and Evo are basically same chassis, so I guess just a different chip for gsm frequencies.
That would tick me off as I went with Sprint knowing the phone would never work international and I do occasionally travel. Grrrrr.
Huh...wondering now if she was hinting at the Vizion...pics do not make it look like an HD2...but same screen size...hmm.
he might be referring to the HTC Vision having the same 1ghz Snapdragon CPU

but alas it only has 3.7" screen
There's a leaked roadmap for T-Mobile devices for the rest of the year on TmoNews.com (the post was a while back, so you might have to go through several pages). I think there's a device coming out soon with a 4.3" screen + Android. And a device coming out with a dual-cell processor or something.

I dont get your post - they tell about new relase HD2 incl Android or new ROM with Android or what?
Am I missing something?
For the past week I've been watching the auction of Wildfires on eBay UK and have noticed that the white versions of the Wildfire command a significant premium to other versions.
I can understand this, per se, but what I don't get is that the prices paid regularly exceed the price I'd pay at Phones4u to walk out the door with one (£139.99).
I must be missing something here. Anyone care to enlighten me?

It's the same thing here. White commands a premium and are listed as "Limited Edition Wildfire" on eBay.
The only reason I guess is that the buyer / bidder is not aware of the availability of the White Wildfire in retail stores or, is unaware of the price of one, and, got "conned".
I had the option to pick white when I was purchasing my Wildfire,but chose black cos i know it'll get all yellowish and dirty...but its still sad that some people don't do research before buying something.

But you got to admit the white one looks real pretty on first glance
I didn't get to choose white when i was buying it though, only red or black..
Well I put my money where my mouth is and bought a white Wildfire today from Phones4u here in London.
It cost me £139.95 all-in (no 'con'-tract and no 'over-' insurance).
So now I have both a red one and a white one.
I planned on selling the red one to part finance the purchase of the white one but now I'm not sure what to do. The white one came with Froyo installed while it said Eclair on the box. I've read that Unrevoked currently doesn't work on the Froyo Wildfires (something to do with a different bootloader cf. Eclair). Soes now I has to wait until the Unrevoked developers can hack up a solution.
No rooted white Wildfire for me just yet, it seems. It looks like I'll be hanging on to my rooted red one for a while longer. Anyways, I've still got a Galaxy S and a Nexus S to sell which will more than cover any resale depreciation on my Wildfires.

white wildfire for the win!
According to Android Spin here: http://androidspin.com/2011/06/02/mytouch-4g-slide-caught-on-camera-sense-3-0-and-android-2-3-4/
since G2 reached EOL they'll begin to stop holding Tmobile G2 warrenty replacements...so they'll give us Mytouch 4G slides if our g2's "break".. (and probably give us warranty on those)...
SO MUCH WIN!!!!1!one!!eleven!

*has a G2 from craigslist*
I just read about the whole EOL thing on Engadget..and JUST bought a G2 from my local Craigslist yesterday to replace my failing HD2..damn.
Warranty doesn't carry over if you buy from craigslist, I've tried. Unless theres a loophole I don't know.

this doesnt sound bad!
They aren't going to stop warranty replacement, it's when there are no more phone in stock. That's how it works.
Sweet! I can't complain about this.

My sister just got a refurbed phone as a replacement so the stock had not dried up yet.

Refurb stock has nothibg to do with new stock. They have tons of refurbs. Trust me they sent me 6 in 2 weeks.

im considering it my biggest issue with it is that it so ugly its like they looked at the mytouch4g and said what tweaks can we make to make this look worse maybe ill can talk them into a sensation at least that phone looks really nice
The mytouch line all look cheesy in my opinion. The G2 is much more slick. I don't understand why you are all freaking out about EOL (except warranty replacement). We will still get software updates in our custom ROMs, even if they have to be ported from another device.

Incorrect, its all based on the imei number. If its less then a year old then u still have the manufacture warranty. My last two phones I bought on craigslist and I sent them into tmobile for a replacement.

mytouch 4g isnt any better than our beloved g2s in my opinion, also its kinda ugly...id settle for at least a g2x
I hope my phone dosnt break then... I would not be happy to get a mytouch back instrad of a g2... I had that choice when I got the phone, and the g2 was way better to me.

I figure if you complain to them enough about the mt4gs being ugly you can force them to give you a Sensation

Nope. Right now the only replacement device t-mobile will send instead of a g2 is an HTC hd2 or a moto cliq 2. Last month it was the mt4g hd2 or another one that was garbage.
Chances that you will get any phone with a dual core as a replacement right now is slim to none....emphasis on none. This is coming from the person that went thru 4 g2 refurbished in about one week. I went thru all of the possible alternatives. They explained the process and how the devices are chosen....and new devices are not an option. Otherwise peopple would be getting free upppgrades constantly.

Does this apply to Assurion too? Because I remember when I lost my N1 they gave me a Galaxy S in it's replacement.

I upgraded from an HD2 to the G2 I'll just add if they EVER tried to 'downgrade' me to a cliq 2, Tmobile doesn't get one more penny from me. Ever.
Is there an easy way to determine if an Evo has 2.2 or the gb update? Thinking of picking one up at Radio Shack since it's free, but they are clueless as usual. I was hoping you can find out my something simple like the meid or s/n.
The best thing to do is to ask them to power on the device before you activate it to your plan. tell them you would like to "give it a test run". Then Go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information. And Look where it says Android Version. But best bet is if its a new shipment of evos it will have 2.3. Just ask the person working how long the evos have been in the store or if its a new shipment.
I've been hearing that alot of best buys still have 2.2's left...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure most if not all radio shacks Evo's will have 2.3.3. But you may get lucky who knows. Mine came with 2.3.3. good luck bro

Go to radio shack and hold that thing to the side of they head, they will then tell u just about anything... 2.2 evo.... How many in stock... What time they wife get off..... How many devices in the back room....lmao...... Just kidding.... When the guys at radio shack wore shirts and ties they had knowledge of everything..... But they wanted to be hip... So they hired the afterschool with tan pants and stopped paying commission .... Hard to find that type of service now... Like silo 's or circuit city had....
Usually sprint ships new phones without the update just ask them not to activate it.

The store I work at "fortunately" uses a lazy "LIFO" technique for stockpiling our evo's and other more popular phones. Its definately possible that some phones in the back were shipped prior to the June update. All we got to do is scan them into our system to see when they were delivered. If you knew someone at a store I guess they could check that out for you but good luck.

aparently Wal-Mart is selling unlocked 2.1 EVOs in select locations
I got a 2.2 w/ 2.10 hboot Evo 4G today at best buy. I asked if I could get the "lowest" serial, and the best buy gal help me look. A lot of the serials were HT15... and HT16... Saw a HT12.. and I said, lets try that one. She powered it up, and it showed 2.2. I said I'll take it Also, none of the boxes had "2.3" stickers, but I wasn't sure if they put those on the EVO 4Gs.
I was looking at the Shift, and found a 2.2 Shift on the first try, but decided to go with the EVO in the end

They are doing the launch party on the 20th, the device is likely to launch a few weeks later. 1st of March seems to be the word.

I have been without a smart phone for 5 months now waiting for the HTC Butterfly unitl HTC screwed the variants, and now have been waiting for the HTC One, until crap specs.
I pre-ordered the Zperia Z from Sony Store hoping to get it last week or even this week. But if you are correct in saying that it will be close to April. I am cancelling my order and purchasing it from Expansys, plus it is $50 cheaper.
I have just ordered phone from Expansys 3-4 days delivery and in stock. Off to Sony now for my refund.
Let me know how the refund goes and what Sony say

Got the cash back yesterday, when I placed the pre-order they made it clear that the deposit was fully refundable.
The only thing they could tell me, was that the phone should be available before the end of the Month.
All I know is mine will be in my hot little hands in a couple of days
Do we know where Mobicity/Expansys/other online stores got their units from? As in.. which country?
@danw_oz
Thanks ill be patient and wait for mine ugh lol.

Alright thanks! Let us know when it arrives!
I'm still torn between waiting or getting it online.
got mine in Mobilezone Chester hill for $699, but they only have the black one in stock, Vodafone branded.
Arrived yesterday. Loving it already, only thing I don't like is the app's, hard to know if it is a true app or Sony bundled trying to sell you crap .
Screen is stunning, everyone I have shown the phone today are amazed, iphone and smasung users. I was reserved when it first came, because it didn't look that flash with the mat shipping screen guard, viewing angles were not good, once I remove this front and back and put on the supplied screen protectors, it is just stunning, even outside it is way better than any of my previous HTC phones.
My one is the white model
Hi. I just got my Xperia Z... I bought it online (mobicity). Looks like it's from France. I got the charging dock. But there's no screen protector inside the package. How come? And since it's from France, I wonder if that means I got the inferior screen panel...?

Sweet score on the dock. Best to ask Mobicity, maybe they put it on when they removed sim lock???
Sony rep liked my phone when I took it in to show him, nice guy, but on of the other guys had an attitude about it. As far as I am concerned if Sony don't get their act together what do they expect.
