I guess I know what my next upgrade will be.
Nexus One from Google Coming to Sprint; Availability Date Announced Soon
Nexus One(TM) is planned for the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network with twice the network coverage of AT&T and ten times the network coverage of T-Mobile, both by square miles; Expands Sprint's Android(TM) portfolio
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Mar 17, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nexus One, the first wireless phone sold through Google(TM)'s web store, is planned for Sprint's 3G Mobile Broadband Network. Sprint (NYSE:S) will announce pricing and an exact availability date soon. Nexus One will benefit from Sprint's 3G network with twice the coverage of AT&T and 10 times the coverage of T-Mobile, both based on square miles.1
Sprint currently has America's largest voice calling area of any carrier reaching more than 307 million people in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands with a Sprint phone and plan that includes roaming. PC World recently said no one has a more reliable network than Sprint in a 13 city 3G performance test.2 Customers can check the quality of network coverage with street level mapping at sprint.com/coverage.
"Nexus One is a powerful device that belongs on a powerful network. This is another step in our continued partnership of innovation with Google," said Fared Adib, Sprint vice president of product development. "Sprint customers already have the option of two amazing Android devices with Samsung Moment(TM) and HTC Hero(TM). It is a natural fit for us to add Nexus One to the list of choices available for Sprint customers who want the best value in wireless with the best in Android."

EDIT: "A pricing plan has not yet been determined for Nexus One..." Hmmm... I hope I don't have to fork over $500 for this thing.
Oh hell yes !!

NICE FIND !!! Now let the deliberation begin....... N1 or Supersonic hmmmm
It says it'll be on 3g not 4g....
good find im torn between that and the supersonic atleast if the supersonic falls through i can always get the N1! thanks for sharing the article gives me something to look foward to ...not that i dont love my hero or anything
Thats cool, but now that the supersonic is coming there is no way I would downgrade to a N1. Thats just me though.
That is indeed very exciting. The N1 is a very very very nice phone.
JIZZ IN MY PANTS. am getting it
whichever comes out first will be what i get. supersonic is bad and all but i love the nexus. not to mention the incredible Dev support on the nexus. i live in ky so i could care less about 4g haha. man today has been a good cell phone day
Wow, decisions decisions. Dont know which I'd prefer, the Nexus One or Supersonic.
- 4g would be great but I doubt it'll be available in my area for a while. AND, although I love sense UI, it has obviously kept my Sprint Hero at ver. 1.5. I'm not happy about that.
- N1 is a Google phone so it'll receive all updates as soon as they come out. Plus, I like the noise cancelling mic.

I'll agree with you on that one... except that we'll be in the same boat as we are with the GSM Hero...
Nexus CDMA will probably not be compatible with all the Nexus GSM ROMs etc without extra work.
Not a huge deal... better to be that close to the first N1 so we can port their stuff than to have some random crazy phone no one has been developing for.
Also, being able to root more easily would be nice.

Yes but by doing this Google is essentially giving CDMA more attention/work. It seems like the phone manufacturers where doing hacks(it is fact for the hero) to get CDMA to work. CDMA has been supported since 1.6 but now it seems like Google is fully acknowledging it.
ONLY 2 MONTHS after I got the hero. I wonder if it will have a nice subsidized price?
I hated my Hero up until a 2.1 rom I put on there.....I'm interested in a faster phone to remind me of my iPhone (LOL). I will get whichever is cheapest

It had better. Too broke for a $500 price point.
If that was the case, at least it would make the N1/Supersonic decision easy.
the nexus will be my next upgrade come late this summer then.
this news sucks... only because it makes the decision harder for me Either way, I can't do anything until October when my full rebate kicks in. I will never pay full price for one of these things!

As of 2 days ago i have never been so sure about wanting a new phone as i was the Droid X. Now there are rumors all over the internet that Verizon will launch its 4G network (aka LTE) on November 15th and have a couple of 4G devices on sale on black Friday. An on top of that the rumors are that they will sell the iphone in January on the 4G network. (not that ill choose the iphone over the Droid X).
I am just wondering, am I jumping the gun here with the Droid X? I am assuming whatever phone with launch with 4G is going to have to be kickass phones. I am also assuming that the Droid X will not be 4G compatible. I hate to pass up this beast and then its just rumors but for some reason i think there is some truth in these ones. Thoughts please
I would venture to guess that the Droid X will be 4G compatible...maybe?
LTE doesn't make that much of a difference to me. Take a look at 4G -- it just got switched on in a few more cities, bringing the number up to a paltry dozen or so (I think? Not quite sure). LTE might also be slow to roll out. Besides, it's a new technology, and it might eat battery like on the EVO.

The question is what does 4G data cost? I assume there is a surcharge like Sprint? I can wait on 4G until there isn't a surcharge, unless it is nominal.

Well from what i read Verizon will not charge the extra $10 for 4G but will however used tiered data plans for its 4G phones like AT&T is doing. SO goodbye unlimited data plans. Doesnt make sense, the second they come out with the powerful devices that are basically mini laptops, hotspots and GPS in , they put a cap on the data for these data hundry devices. Just clearly shows again how money hungry they are. Like $30 a month from millions of customers is not enough.
That said, after thinking it through i will also get the doid X. 6 months is a long time to wait to see if rumors pan out. Plus this puppy is running on 1Ghz and will be plenty fast. I even saw is video today where i played video at 60fps. Iphone 4 can only do 30. The video was so so smooth.
I cant wait for July 15th!!!!

Want to bet 4G phones wind up requiring the highest tier? Effectively charging for 4G. I just don't see VzW (and every other carrier) not taking advantage of early adopters.
No. Lets say it comes out in 6 months in "select areas". I can upgrade my phone one year from July 15th and more than likely LTE won't be in my area until mid to late 2011 or even 2012. Not worried one bit.
I can't see the lte footprint being useable for a couple years anyways. Dig the X, but think I'll b sticking with my Droid for a while.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
My omnia just broke last week (won't charge any batteries, i think the temp sensor is fried)
So I don't really have a choice but to upgrade to the X, it's the only phone i can do early because otherwise i have to wait till august. And this vx6700 is not very nice to me.
That being said i'm a little upset with the hdmi issue, that was one of my main reasons.
but just to talk about 4g i really doubt it will be much of a battery hog. because sprint basically is just reselling a wimax service (which i do get in my area around chicago) and it is fast but it's not worth using unless i'm on a laptop (because of the battery drain) and soon the unlimited will probably go away like the rest.
And if i'm not mistaken the sprint 4g (wimax) runs at about 2.5ghz? or so. Where I think verizion will incorporate this in there 4g.
http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iMbsPSv2vatAVvbz_8n0xU3Mfvnw
While 700mhz doesn't provide much bandwidth, My guess there going to use that in tandem with eh EVDO (i think 900mhz ish?) that they currently have, kind of like an A/G router will use both the freq to increase throughput.
Call me stupid but i think having another antenna at a lower freq like that will use up less power then the sprint one at 2.5ghz, but i could be wrong.
can someone please explain to me whats the Hype with the Htc Thunderbolt? isnt it basically a Evo with a bump in Ram and Verizon suppose Lte Network? More or less what we have had with the evo for a while now.?
Pretty much.
The core is a newer generation so its comparable to the Evo shift.
Not worth $200 with two year.
It's hyped because verizon is finally getting something to compete with us

8GB internal storage plus a bit more RAM. Looking at the specs that appears to be it, apart from LTE insetad of WiMAX. Even has the same Snapdragon processor.
Oh, there's template support for emails on the Evo but not the Thunderbolt, but who really uses templates anyway?
Unless Verizon puts a crapload of bloat on it, it might actually perform better than the Evo because of the reduced number of apps no one cares about (Navigation, NFL, NASCAR, etc.)

Anyone who truly believes this, is an ass. The Thunderbolt is better than any Sprint phone that's out, spec wise. EVO's development is the true gem, for now. It's the only reason I still post in here, even though I have other daily drivers. Give credit where credit is due. Sprint will get their just desserts soon, trust me.

Well that only matters if you care about sense, but it's been suggested [and is completely realistic] that the Evo/Evo Shift will be getting the new sense.
As far as the core it's pretty much the same exact one as in the Evo Shift except instead of clocked at 800 mhz it's clocked at 1GHZ.
So, at best, it's an extremely minor spec bump from the Evo Shift.
That extra 200MHz is all that's needed to possibly get a Gingerbread update...

People seem to be in denial that the Evo isnt the best phone on the market anymore. And honestly the LTE alone was enough to make me switch. If you want to see the huge differences, look at the benchmark comparisons on youtube between the thunderbolt and the evo. It's not even remotely close.
Thunderbolt has a fatter kickstand and they put a larger speaker behind the kickstand. Pretty neat.
The HTC Thunderbolt (ADR6400 codename "Scorpion or Mecha") will be the first 4G LTE smartphone on Verizon Wireless. It is a CDMA variant of the HTC Desire HD. It was first announced at CES on January 6, 2011. This phone is to be considered the flagship phone for Verizon, going head to head with the HTC EVO.
In addition to 4G service, the Thunderbolt will be the first Verizon phone to support simultaneous Voice/Data over 3G without the help of Wi-Fi.
You can run gingerbread on your phone clocked down to 250 MHz. Animations will be choppy but it'll run just fine. So all this B.S. about mhz is b.s.

To be fair, simultaneous voice and data over 3G will be possible with Sprint as well. Verizon just happened to drop a phone that will use it first. The chipset wasn't ready when EVO was in production.Inspire 4G and HTC Thunderbolt is of the same cloth, but a minor spec to the EVO Shift, which is a carbon copy of the G2? That's just inviting the flames. Verizon's answer to the EVO was the Droid X, not the TB. People don't understand how long the EVO was being worked on by HTC and Sprint. It was a true flagship. HTC Pyramid is a true flagship, so keep your eyes on it at CTIA.

You mean that made up patched up coverage map of roaming agreements?
my 3g and 4g speeds are crazy, i normally get between 800k-1.1mbps on 3G and like 7 or 8mbps on 4G. the last major 3G speedtest done rated At&t 1st over 3G (where its available), and Sprint came in at 2nd place. ive NEVER had any signal issues with sprint. And i travel frequently. the truth of the matter is the Sprint vs Verizon battle is never ending, but at the end of the day, it only matters if it works where YOU need it to work at.
Now, I will say that we all know about sprints recent 3G data speed troubles, but im sure they will have it fixed soon. ****ty, but true.
As far as the thunderbolt goes, Im not envious of it at all. The new Snapdragon core + more ram is better, but other than the its just the Evo, with a LTE radio in it. Better than the Evo? yes. Enough to make me switch? No chance
My father works for Verizon Wireless and he came back with a few swag bags of stuff and some news about some of Verizon's plans.
Verizon is about to change their radio to allow features like talk and web at the same time for all "newer" model phones with certain chipsets. The Incredible is one of them. Also, 2.3 update is coming "soon." The HTC Rep. that he spoke with would say nothing more on the matter.
Thanks for reading.
Hmm... I was under the impression that it was the CDMA network technology that limited simultaneous talk/data. I could be wrong but if that were the case I don't know how they would be able to enable that on existing DIncs without physically changing chipsets on each device. Can someone correct me on this?

Well either we already had the capability but verizon just figured out how to unlock it or the simultaneous talk/data the rep is talking about is for the htc droid incredible 2 since their radio chipset is newer...but we will get GB before the end of the month
WOW I would love data and phone at the same time! Sounds like a project!
Sounds amazing. Can't wait
I'm pretty sure it's a no for the DINC, the DINC 2 will though, as it supports SVDO.
From my understanding the Thunderbolt was the first phone to support SVDO on Verizon and I imagine they used the same type of chip on the DINC2 since it was the next HTC phone out of the gate. I think it was just in trial still on the TBolt.
Just found on the net that it would need to have a MSM Qualcomm chip, the original DINC has a QSD Qualcomm chip.
I have an incredible and have had simultaneous talk and data for a few months now

I would think it was for the Inc2, I doubt Inc1 has the Hardware to do it. Feel lazy to research but I swear I remember reading TBolt was the first with the Hardware to support it.
Yup he meant the inc2 only cdma/gsm phones have data/talk capability and the inc2 is one of them the thunderbolt is also on of them since it runs on a cdma netowrk but 4g lte is gsm technology the OG Inc is pure cdma
It has nothing to do with CDMA or LTE per se.
Verizon has always used EV-DO. The evolution of that is SVDO which is a single pipe for Voice and Data. Qualcomm did not make chips that supported that until the MSM series of chips. They stated that all MSM chips in 2009 forward would support SVDO.
Go on Wikipedia and it lists all the Qualcomm chips and shows which phones use which chip.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
According to the specifications of the Incredible the processor is "Qualcomm® QSD8650, 1GHz Snapdragon™" per http://www.htc.com/us/products/droid-incredible-verizon#tech-specs, so the hardware according to that assumption, MSM chips are SVDO capable is not valid. That same Wikipedia page states that the MSM7630 chip in the Shift 4G has SVDO capabilities, not the Incredible.
So, even though I would love for simultaneous voice/data on my Dinc, alas I dont think its true.
Cheers!

Hadn't thought of that. I guess the "couple of months" that I was taking about is when I started leaving wifi on 24/7 because it improves my gps accuracy. I guess I never noticed that the simultaneous talk and data only works in my apartment (if I had, I would've figured out the culprit)
Well don't I feel silly
Well I'm running the leaked radio and I can tell you that I absolutely do not have simultaneous voice and data.
If it weren't for the bloatware I wouldn't mind running on the new Sense stock. As it stands now, I'll just wait for the ROM devs to pick up the new stock stuff and incorporate it.
I've surfed the web and talked on the phone at the same time for awhile now...

sprint announced lte starting q1 2012
Sprint Will Be Getting The Galaxy Nexus.
With out a doubt Sprint will be getting the new nexus phone as all the main wireless company's in the US will be. There are two models HSPA models will go to T-mobile and AT&T and the LTE models will be on Verizon and Sprint, anyone to think otherwise wouldn't be smart to think sprint has already does this in the past with the Nexus S 4G while it advertised it being the first and only usable NFC Compatible phone but nobody in theory could actually use the NFC feature of the phone until they had updated it to version 2.3.7 and gave u Google Wallet and Google Shopper. Sprint has stated that they are going to be very aggressive setting up LTE in 2012 to try to be on par with Verizon somewhat with 4G so its all makes sense if u really think about it..
Sprint announced LTE for next summer with it's first LTE devices launching next summer as well.

Wow hater. All major carriers and a few not so major carriers are getting the phone. Just like the SGS2...
looks like they might release the phone then launch lte? I hope LTE will be unlimited
Samsung/Google already dropped the ball in not releasing this device (or having a press event for it) before the iPhone4S was released. The best they can do now to salvage their product in the public's eye is to release it on as many carriers as possible.

Not a hater I own a NS4G and use Sprint everyday. I was just being honest. So far we know very little about what Sprint will use for their LTE and if there is any compatability with Samsung already has in the phone. I know all of the carriers will get a variant of the Galaxy Nexus but I honestly don't expect any of them to get one until after May of next year and I also think its possible late next year this phone will be advertised like crazy on Sprint and their new LTE.
