Im just wondering because im looking at the CTIA schedule and see AT&T, Qualcom and some other mobile announcements but I dont see anything from Sprint on there. So im just wondering...
I'm pretty sure they'll be MIA.
Would you show your face after hosting a press conference for the Kyocera Echo?
Pretty sure they're planning on releasing a 5G phone with AOL data speeds.

Look for Sprint to shine in the CTIA....They will manage to pull a rabbit our their azz...Thats the reason why they changed their premier upgrade policy.
I am guessing the Evo 2 and a LG high end phone at the least.
Let's ask DirtyShmooz or whatever his name is. He seems to be the Sprint Evangelist around these forums.

Well unless a guy I have depended on over the last 10 years for the Sprint goodies is wrong for the first time (quite possible)...I am sure it will happen.
I have seen pictures of phones dating back to the Samsung a900 before it was known to exist from this guy who is my cousins, baby daddys neighbor down the street.....lol
I mean thats cool and all.... but for it to have been a secret this long without any of the tech sites finding out about it is kinda hard for me to believe. We knew about the evo in December last year before it came out. Matter of fact we've known about pretty much every phone months in advance with the exception of the echo.

EVO 2 and WiMax are on hold right now, with Sprint's ongoing saga with Clearwire. It's at a point where they are thinking of going complete LTE, and just move away from Clearwire/WiMax. Clear could avoid this death wish, by using Sprint's Network Vision and calling it a day. Both companies will make an substantial amount of money, and your 3G speeds will be back to normal.
The only way the EVO 2 debuts at CTIA, is if HTC/Sprint rehash the Inspire 4G/Thunderbolt/Desire Z for Sprint, and call it the EVO 2. It won't be close to the actual original EVO 2 designs(Sabor wasn't either), but to appease the public, that is what may happen. By the way, HTC/Sprint's love child has been in the works a year and a half before Engadget leaked the news. "Supersonic" wasn't even the original codename for the device. News did leaked months before the device dropped, but that info was late too.
Somthing is coming...I just HOPE it isnt a 4 panel echo remix...

Has there been any news on this? I mean its going to be February tomorrow, and I was just wondering where the hell all this furor over the delayed updates went. Sprint hasn't really said anything concrete, neither has Samsung so I'm honestly pretty pissed...
I sprint tech told me samsung still have the froyo and sprint haven't received it yet.. He states we was one of the testers and have no ideal of a release date cause sprint doesn't haven't anything to test yet ... This was a few days ago

Sprint has it and it works Great. They are just trying to figure out a way to charge ALL their customers and extra 10.00 per month to get it, even if you don't have an Android Phone.
They've already annoucned that they're going to begin doing that haha.
Seriously though, where did all teh furor over this go? I remember a few weeks ago people were going crazy over this, and I haven't heard a single mention of it as of yet...

Yes. Customer will go away and give money to someone else.
I used to work in collections. One often repeated mantra of collections was "If they're yelling, you're still on the right track to get paid." If they stopped yelling, they no longer cared. In business, it is a bad sign if complaints grind to a halt, as it likely indicates an upcoming exodus of customers.
I probably won't leave Sprint, but in spite of how much I enjoy the Epic as it is, the fact that it is taking so long to be able to enjoy the Epic as it could be will likely have me looking at LG and/or HTC phones next time around.
Same here, I like sprint but I'll no longer buy samsung phones anymore because this sucks big time. I no longer care for an update, it will come when it comes I'm just waiting 1 yr goes by to purchase another phone and more likely will be a HTC, I love their keyboards.

My last phone was a TP2. It shipped with WM 6.1 but 6.5 was released shortly after the phone was released. It took about 6 months for Sprint and HTC to release 6.5, and the whole time people were pissing and moaning about it on all the boards. Plus, many users (includinng me) had screens that failed in the first year. It aint any better in the HTC world.
The announcement will be that the Steelers won the Superbowl

Sure...
I spoke to sprint advanced tech support and he hinted that it would be a Sprint iPhone, though he admitted he would not put money down on that.
It will NOT be a Sprint iPhone. if it is I will cancel my service with them immediately for two reasons.
1. An IPhone for Sprint = not an industry first (people aren't seeming to grasp this one, though its not necessarily your prediction just what a rep said)
2. The iPhone 4 is already a device that is on the brink of obsolete. In a world where dual cores and 4g are becoming standard, the people buying iPhone for Verizon are asking to get left behind. If Sprint, who has been doing a great job of staying ahead of the game, decides that taking two steps back and calling it an "industry first" is a wise new game plan, I may as well throw in the towel.
Remember, a vast majority of sales reps, really don't know what they are even talking about.

May have been slight exaggeration... but, innovation and making that tiny effort to stay ahead is the main reason I go with sprint. The fact being that the company has been doing a great job leading the game without being the biggest in sales or subscribers would make all this fuss over an obsolete phone, instead of putting that money to better uses, would definitely make me question if I should go to Verizon or ATT for their soon to be superior phones (atrix, bionic, thunderbolt) if that makes sense.
It would be a huge letdown to me if all this hubbub was over a phone two other carriers have.
I really don't think the announcement is going to be the Iphone. I doubt Sprint will even get Iphone on there service until the Iphone 5 is out with 4G and a dual core. Anyway this thread was meant to be a joke. See, the OP said that Sprint's big announcement will be that the Steelers won the Super Bowl, which would not be making the impossible, possible. I hope the Packers win just because they beat my Eagles and the Eagles actually should have won since they lost by 5 and the Pro Bowl field goal kicker missed 2 FG which would have been 6 points and the win. I guess I could take a little more pride in losing by so little to the eventual SB champs.
I highly doubt Sprint is going to spend the money to get the Iphone on their service. Just Google how much Verizon will spend on Iphone. If Sprint does just expect some serious rate hikes on your next plan.

man id go back to a pager b4 id use that piece of ****. i will NEVER own any kyocera product
I'd go back to the Samsung Instinct... Even if it didn't get another update and constantly FC'd Opera Mini I'd still go back.
Could this be the "industry-first" smartphone nobody wants? As far as I can tell anyone who gets this will not be able to do much after rooting besides uninstalling the Sprint bloat. Unless they want one tiny screen to use for ROMs =/
If they put a Nintendo DS cartridge slot and buttons on there, it might have been something worth while. At least a competitor to the playstation phone.
Any guess on how long the it will last on 1 battery?
It has to be bad, seeing they are including 2 when buying the phone, er ds.

Epic indeed.
How many "firsts" and other "huge next things" are we going to see before we see the REAL huge next thing? Obviously nothing is worth leaving an EVO until dual core comes out. They really should have waited to hype something until a dual core phone came out. Now it will make such a release underwhelming. Shame on you Sprint.
I brought my phone in so I can have a tec look at it. I have a dead pixel and a bad usb port. I get my replacement either monday or tuesday.
there was another guy there that dropped his phone off right before me. ( another epic ) and when we went up to the counter to grab are phones they told him to wait another 20 minutes that it wasn't done. He started flipping out and yelling at everyone. There was another guy on the phone with sprint cause they said the same thing about his evo. I got mine right away no additional wait.
The tech started to talk to me about root. I had the background from my theme on ( no root all stock ) he told me rooting my phone voids my warrantee. He then asked me about acs and the emotionless beast theme. I than counter attacked him about him having his phone rooted and then introduced my self as mysteryemotionz and the creator of the emotionless beast theme. He then treated me like a celebrity and called all the sprint employees to meet me.

Awesome. It was clear to me from visiting one or two of the better Sprint stores that some of the employees there are very much aware of what's up with phone modding. I think there is a healthy contingent in the entire Sprint company that has a fairly easygoing attitude to people who are familiar with what XDA does...they know we're good customers and powerful advocates for their business.
You ARE a celebrity. Haha but that's hilarious coming from the sprint people. Any special perks other than the recognition?

If you think 20 minutes is bad, you should see the store near me, if I have to go there then I need to make sure I have an ENTIRE AFTERNOON to waste.
Mystery, when I use to work on the HTC Vogue, the entire North Florida region Sprint stores and Radioshack used my ROM and treated me like royalty. It was amazing
Now I work for Sprint, not so special anymore
Nice... I've said it before,Sprint is very aware of what goes on at XDA,I know several people that take a real interest.

Anyhow that's hilarious You deserve the extra attention as I am sure your a big reason some epic owners even bother keeping their phones just to have your theme and our roms on it!.
Its not illegal to unlock YOUR PHONE! Wasn't that clearly defined by law just not to long ago? What you own is yours? Thus for it can not clearly void your warranty.

Here in Long Beach I "fix" some of the Sprint guys phones. When I go into the shop to see what's new we usually STS about rooting and romming on all the high end hardware. Haven't worked on the managers phone yet, but he seems pretty interested as well.
I got 3 extra batteries that didn't cost a dime...

Cool story bro
when I bought my Epic the cute salesgirl told me that she couldnt wait for her epic, and tried to hint to me about rooting, I told her I kinda knew what that was, but said 'isnt that against contract', and she basically said not really wink wink... then told me that the techs rooted all the employees phones... acting like she thought everyone did it. Pretty cool... other than one tech that store rocks...
Cleaned. Any more will result in infractions and bans.
Mystery I love your work keep it up. Its what makes me want to keep my epic.

When I got my epic I had him switch my TP2 to one of my other lines. I had a different ROM with the newer 6.5 task bar thing going on. He was shocked and kept playing with things... he didn't care what we had on it. He said if it didn't work he would just reload the phone.
