Epic fail sprint, facepalm! - EVO 4G General

okay, introduce something new, hmm, not 4g lmaoooo, the reason being they want to get it out asap lmfao...carrying on...no front facing camera, same 1 ghz snapdragon that was used on the evo just updated, whipdy doo, after 8 months of technology we use the same clocked speed processor. back camera is lower than what people consider the standard for top smartphones now, im sorry i can keep going, this is an epic fail, disagree if you'd like but of course this is only my opinion. Granted i'll still see it in person but cmon man, ruined my night...
and one more thing, what the hell was the point of david blaine!

I agree this did not deserve its own event its like a child of a samsung moment and a nintendo ds...LAME

Ya, sprint really dropped the ball on this release. So they are marketing to the 8 yr olds that want a Nintendo DS phone? Booo

I agree...what a freaking joke. I was really not expecting that.

This is bad. In a moment people were expecting to fail by being an iPhone, or stupid tablet... Sprint exceeded all expectation, and single handedly facilitated millions of facepalms across America.
Wait for another industry first. "The only phone to sell a whopping 0 units."
I hate being mean... but... this was just... indescribably made of, filled with, and covered in a hard candy shell of fail.

I hate to be mean too, but this was a epic fail!

They wasted time and money throwing its own event. I was expecting more.

But for least units sold...it'll be up there with the Microsoft Kin, from mid last year, And if I see anyone with the Echo...I'll just laugh.
AT LEAST THE DS has FRONT and BACK cameras....xD

Yep... I mean... it's a cool idea... and yeah, maybe an industry first... But did it really require such a big, over-hyped event?
No.
Really disappointing.

Not gonna lie, just turned on 4g hoping it would connect and when everyone realized they had 4g, Sprint would say "Did you guys really think we would leave you with that p.o.s.? Happy new year, here's froyo for Epic and Gingerbread for Evo as well!"
Turns out... they really did just leave us with that p.o.s.
MWC they had better own... or I have a feeling they are losing customers.

If they had put some gamepad controls on it things could have been interesting haha

Yo dawg I heard you like touchscreens...so we put a touchscreen on your touchscreen so you can touch a screen while you touching a screen.
So what the eff was the point of David Blaine in the first place? I read the liveblog on Engadget and it pretty much just sounds like he was underwater and released a few fish. How the eff does that relate at all to the Kyocera Echo?

i guess he meant to write which would you like better, not an actual pole. id say the Evo 3D just because i dont want to pay a termination fee to leave sprint. dual core phone, and 3D is just a added feature. dont care about it, but it's nice to have. plus i think i'm going to get a seidio 3500 (hopefully if they have one) for the phone just because I enjoy the one i have with my evo.
BUT if didnt have a contract, galaxy S2 hands down.

Worst. Excuse. Ever.
I'm going EVO 3D. I like my Specs but I prefer HTC software, I like our EVO 4G devs who plan on getting the 3D & hell I can't b*tch about a gimmick I haven't tried & a feature I can turn off if I don't like it. Oh & Sense 3.0 smells like WIN.
The Epic had a better benchmark than the EVO 4G too & but I don't regret not getting it.
Its really the XDA devs' fault that I stick with HTC, not so much the brand loyalty. :/
Galaxy S2 for me...though I'm jumping ship to TMO as soon as I can get kicked off of Sprint.
Purchased my EVO on launch day and major quality control (light leakage & b-spot) which Sprint or HTC wouldn't man up and fix it without any downtime on my side (at least loan me a damn phone while it's in repair for a few weeks); did not return/exchange it within 30-day limit due to stock shortage. First HTC device and my last.
PS. Wimax is pathetic in my area unless I'm standing underneath the sun.
Evo
Personally I don't trust Samsung, they may have brought us the Super Amoled screen but they haven't made any serious software leaps in ages. HTC sense steps up its game with just about every new version of Android. HTC definitely has improvements to make but I'll patiently wait it out with them.
On that note I vote EVO 3D(even though all I really want is the upgraded processor)
Can we toss the nexus s 4g in the mix???

There's no doubt that the iPhone will have to come to Sprint in order to compete in the market. (Wait I take that back, unless the FCC allows the destruction of the market)
I most definitely, will not.
I would go back to cans and string before buying anything made by Crapple.
It would be good for my wife. Needs something simple for basic things like taking pics, videos, music, phone calls, etc.

I agree with you. I would get it for my wife as well. She has an Optimus S now which is her first Android device and she's still figuring out to work it after having it for 3-4 months. her phone is basically stock...smh lol.
She was in love with the iphone 3Gs but I convinced her to switch to Sprint so that I could get the Nexus S 4G and possibly the Evo 3D...lol.
But yeah, I'm definitely not getting an iphone.
I MOST DEFINITELY will be switching. Without I doubt in my mind. I went from G1 > iPhone. The only reason I switched to sprint is because of the employee discount. It would feel good to go back home...

If they add LTE to the version coming out later this year with a bigger screen ill definitely consider getting one. **** loyalty to a brand I like my phone to work.
This makes sense and it will be interesting to see how this Android v Apple battle plays out when the iPhone is available on every major US carrier. I had an iPhone in the past and while its a fantastic device, its not the phone for me. My wife may be interested though...
It would have to have a 4"+ screen and android being boot locked and watered down for me to consider it.
Wouldn't even consider it without a 4"+ screen.

Samsung Vs HTC owners

I was wondering why do all the evo owners that's bashing the nexus s as a inferior phone are the same ones making threads about being on their 4th evo replacement? I'm a evo owner by the way and I'm on my launch one, no problem.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A lot of people apparently hate samsung for phone quality and lack of updates. I have an Evo, and I've had a samsung phone before [not a smart phone], but it never did me wrong. And I have my 32" Samsung LED tv...beautiful. I have nothing against them, personally.
People can't live without conflict and trying to aggravate each other.
I owned a Samsung Epic and an Evo. I'm posting this from my Evo because the Samsung just wouldn't work after the froyo update. Samsung's support is worthless imo. My wife and sister in law both have Samsung Intercept's and their about to get different models of phones because those phones are worthless and the Sprint rep I've been talking to knows it so...
As for the new phone, maybe they fixed the many issues plaguing their other phones but my old Epic's (yes, I tried 4 different ones...) Gps could only get a lock down to 6 meters vs the Evo's 1 meter, and the bluetooth stack on froyo just sucked. Sounds would stop playing, I missed lots of calls... Until they prove themselves again that they can make a product and support it, they won't see a dime of my money.

Some such as myself want to always move onto bigger and better things and Samsung have the potential to be that and do that as that's what they're always selling (See Epic 4g) and they always come up short. The Instinct was dubbed the original iphone killer [email protected], Samsung Epic was supposed to be better than the Evo and it's still crippled with GPS issues and now this phone even with it's supposed better screen still has issues with the color white (with the blue tint) and this day and age releasing a phone with not even a micro SD slot for expandable memory. Samsung is a company that pushes you to almost want to love them, then gives you reasons to LOATHE them. And I mean really loathe them.

Going from an evo to a nexus s is like going from a BMW to Mercedes; your BMW(evo) is the complete package and still up to date yet you want the Mercedes (nexus) because your BMW has a little extra mileage on it. The nexus s isn't worth leaving the evo why waste your upgrade on a phone that's barely superior. I'm not bashing it I'm just saying who cares about the "pure google experience" that single core processor will be out of date by the end of 2011. I'm not saying the evo 3D will be the best but I wont waste my upgrade on that plastic single core Samsung phone lol.

I still have mine from launch day. I dropped it in my dog's water bowl last month, and at first I thought it survived unscathed, but now it's doing all kinds of weird crap (GPS issues, not fun when I needed it on a trip last weekend; music skips or sometimes the voice search window pops up during playback for no reason; etc etc). No amount of wiping or different ROMs seems to help, so I'm guessing something got fried in the process.
So in other words, it may be time to make a claim. I'll miss the old bag, we've been through so much together *tear*.
I still have my launch day EVO. My goodness this was the best phone I have ever had in my life! I had a blackberry before this phone so some of you guys must know the hell we all go with when one has a blackberry.

I've also had mine since launch day. It made me look like such a badass when summer ended and I went back to high school. ****, it still does. Now there's just many more thunderbolts and incredibles that try to compete with me, but they fail.
Anyway I think the EVO 3D looks awesome but I think ill just skip this generation of EVO because the original has been so good to me and I just can't drop it a year later.
Just imagine how sick the new EVO will be in a years time.
my "launch day" evolution went for a swim about 2 months in my replacement evo has been a solid device. can't believe its been a year already.
