Are we gonna see the desire on sprint?

Since it is available on us cellular which is a cdma network, can we expect it to come to sprint relatively soon?

dunno about sprint but the ACG is getting it. My carrier should have it here soon. The specs seem decent but I am skeptical about the display, ill have to see it in person to properly judge.

I can only hope

Well the screen will be better than the EVO's since it is amoled or super lcd, and displays 16 million colors lol

im hoping it comes to sprint, either that or a hero2. if not i may be getting a epic soon.

I don't think we will get the htc desire on sprint

were suppose to get a hero2 "legend" type phone by late fall i hear.

I hope we do get the HTC legend/hero 2 for sprint

The Legend isn't much of an upgrade.. Rather would see the Desire or something comparable. 1ghz phone without 4g please.

I just wish sprint would release a phone with stock android. That's all I want. CM6 is keeping me happy at the moment.
I'm very tempted to jump ship when the new G2 comes out on tmobile.

good luck with t-mobile and their ****ty service & reception. i hear sprint may be buying them out anyways.
even if we did get the legend or hero2 im sure it would at least have a 1ghz cpu. and for your guys info all future sprint phones will have 4g and that $10 coolness fee. they want to covert everyone over, hence stopping supporting the hero.

negative on the converting over to 4g.. they have to get it nationwide for that to happen.. Im still 45 miles away from any 4g.. so getting the desire for me would rock.. I would be perfectly happy with that phone.. on 3g speeds. not to mention saving like 240 over 2 years for not having to pay for a service i cant get..lol

soon they will be charging everyone for that 4g. IF the legend or desire comes it will have higher end specs than the current version.

not necesarily, this particular AMOLED is not aranged in your normal rgb pattern, its in a pentile matrix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family
the screen is pretty much the same as the nexus one screen, see this article for info: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news...exus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars/

Better this way or worse?

worse, you get pinkish greys and certain line patterns can cause color banding (kinda like old school ntsc)
from the ars article:"Overall, it is hard to see any really good advantages to the PenTile layout, yet there are some big downsides in reducing spatial resolution of two of the color channels."
see page three of the article for some demonstrations.

Addicted to the evo.

After owning various android phones including a galaxy s phone I am finding myself completely addicted to the evo. There is so much that can be done to it its not even funny.
I find myself flashing a different rom almost daily. I'm addicted.
Out of all the phones I have owned and tried I still believe the evo is king. Sure there are newer phones out with better hardware. But for what the evo is I think its pretty fast. Even in stock form it performs on par with my old epic.
The only thing that would top this phone would be a dual core phone with a screen no smaller than the evos and samoled.
I held an iPhone 4 yesterday and after using the evo there is no way I would go with a smaller screen no matter how vivid it was.
All hail evo
All hail evo

Are you serious? The evo been out for 8 friggin months and the htc inspire hasn't even been released yet and you getting mad at sprint? Damn you funny as hell, if anything att customers should be the one going wtf? Since after almost a year after the evo been in our hands they are only now getting a similar phone with slightly marginal specs.

Yes this is really the EVO2

Nah, that's definitely not the EVO2, more like the EVO+. It's the same phone, just with a couple minor upgrades.

4g internal. Hopefully Sprint will come out with something better than the thunderbolt.

Of course they will, the inspire and the thunderbolt are the same phones in which both are basically a carbon copy of the evo which been out for 8 months with the exception of a few differences(mainly updated snapdragon and the newer version of sense). Anyway, sprint has too much riding on the evo name than to come out with an evo 2 with half assed specs.

It's got a better processor (MSM8255 45nm vs the EVO's QSD8650 65nm), more internal memory, MUCH better screen (SLCD), and Sense 2.0.
It's a better device, no question.

It's a better phone to be sure, but not a huge upgrade from the EVO. Though it's always nice to have choice, I'm sure some AT & T users would prefer another Sense phone.

Call it the EVO 4gS

No front camera is a deal-breaker for me. No thanks!

The only difference I saw was EVO can tether 8 devices and the other phone only five.

It's internal memory is four times the size of the Evos, I'm sure that makes the new sense much easier to fit on there.

Mytouch 4g slide and G2 owners

So, who here will consider jumping ship when the mt4g slider comes out? Screen specs I think are the same as the g2, but its dual core 1.2ghz, 768ram, 8mp cam are the biggest changes I can remember off the top of my head.
I would consider the change if the battery is bigger, and the slide keyboard is stronger than the G2. What about you?
Nonsense!

Maybe if it has decent design. And not too many qc issues like mytouch 4g.
And if I have the money of course..

I sure aint the g2 is one of the first phones i ever had that was so well rounded. Gonna stick with this one for awhile cause the chances i will like every aspect of another phone are slim.

If performance is anything like the G2x then yes. That thing is soo insanely fast.
I would like a bigger screen though. So we'll see when its anounced.

Think I'm gonna trade for the sensation. That is and amazing piece of hardware.

It's got to have a hardware keyboard for me though. While the MT4GS is tempting, I'd rather not pay full price for one of these phones; I'll just wait til October for the 1 year upgrade and see what's available then personally.

I'm going to wait a while also. the g2 is a very nice phone, goood camera, excellent radios. if and when LTE services come to tmobile, I may upgrade. I will not buy into the 4G marketing fluff.

Data Roaming and its problems

Ok, so I switched to Sprint from Verizon for the Nexus S 4G. I know people with Evo's and they have never complained about signal issues in my area. So I get my NS and immediately I have signal issues. Can't make phone calls or send text and forget about surfing the internet. It was so bad that the battery would drain in 5-6 hours because I couldn't get a signal. I am still within my 30 days so I am considering switching to the EVO 3D or even going back to Verizon. I have tried updating to all the newest PRL's and none of them made any difference. That is until I switched to the hybrid Verizon PRL 00001. I now get great signal, can connect to 3G wherever and have had excellent battery life. My fear is that if I keep the phone I will no doubt go over the 300mb supposedlt unlimited amount of data roaming. How long can I do this before Sprint finds out? Should I even try exchanging the phone, or just switch the to 3VO? I love the NS4G, but obviously it is no good to me if I can't use it at all and when I can use it I risk being kicked out of contract. I've read threads on Sprint doing it, but how often does it happen?

No replies, not even flaming?

Why doesn't he want the 3d?

Personally, I decided to hold onto the phone, and patiently wait for a fix. They are aware of the problem. The phone's just too darn good to switch to a different one.
You're on your own with the prl hack. I just got kicked off a different carrier for roaming too much, and I wasn't even using a custom prl.

Yea, let me re-phrase that. I wouldnt trade my Nexus for a 3D. If there isnt a fix for the radio I'd rather have the OG Evo than the 3D.

Well, my experience with HTC devices is ****. Thats what I base that conclusion on. I did say that I wouldnt trade MY NS4G for a 3D. I think the 3D is gonna be a P.O.S. and most of the bugs with the OG Evo have been worked out.
I just sold my Thunderbolt because it was the biggest pile of **** phone Ive ever owned. I expect more of the same from the 3D. Sorry if this offends you...

No, actually you told the OP that HE doesn't want the 3D.
The 3D is a pretty awesome phone. Major upgrade over the Evo 4G. It's worth taking a look at. No major downsides to it, really. The 3D is gimmicky and destroys battery life, but it's something you can leave off all the time and never think about.

While I appreciates "everyone's" opinions I was more looking for answers on sprint dropping people for data roaming. I've used 200mb in a week and that is not downloading anything

No one can really answer your question. If you're roaming basically all the time, you will probably get a warning at some point. If your Sprint service is that bad, it's probably for the best anyway - gets you out of a contract and lets you move to another carrier/.

This ^^ is actually what I said. And whats the point of a 3D phone if you have 3D off all the time? I would really rather have the OG Evo. Or the Photon, which will be a way better phone than the 3D.
I actually know someone that has had the 3D since Monday and also has a NS4G, and he 100% confirms that the NS4G is a better phone. He is a member here but I wont throw him under the bus. Hopefully he will see this thread and share with you guys some of the things he has shared with me. I did ask him last night via Gtalk if his opinion of the 3D had changed since he initially told me he didnt like it. His exact words were, "no, I just cant make the jump".

In what way could the Evo 4G be considered a superior device to the Evo 3D? Dual-core CPU, a real GPU, twice the RAM, more onboard storage, higher resolution display.

Never said it was superior.

What about the Evo 3D would piss you off? What about it is inferior to the Evo 4G besides the fact that you can't put a custom ROM on it yet?

ehhh i kind of agree, not that its inferior or the evo is superior, but that its just seems gimmicky and well for lack of a better word.... useless. the whole 3D is a lot of smoke and mirrors. i would rather know theres solid hardware inside doing a solid job....like say reception.
some would say filet mignon is a superior cut, i on the other hand would prefer a nice ribeye any day. now im stavin. hey earl...........
