Hey everyone Sprint is making an announcement Feb 7, what do you think it'll be!

Hey according to Phandroid, Sprint is making an announcement Feb 7. What do you all think it'll be?
I'm thinking the iphone 4....just kidding...lol. But hopefully another member to the Evo family.

I hope it doesn't have a keyboard. The only reason I would take this back is for a more powerful phone that has a keyboard.

I doubt it's a device. I'm thinking it's a new plan that ties together all your mobile devices into one price.

I'd bet ANYTHING it has to do with HP Palm and web OS. Cuzco palm has an announcement the same day.

David Blaine is involved...
It's a hoverphone.

Good god I hope not, sprint is the only one of the big three that hasn't announced(or at least rumored) a dual core piece of hardware, I for one am hoping for something Qualcomm dual core or terga 2. I would hate to drop sprint just because they would rather ride the Evo until its been well surpassed....we'll see....

I'm going to place my money on a win phone 7 device.

Should be 2.3 for our Shifts, wishful thinking

"industry first" so my guess is a 4G WinMo7 or 4G WebOS device (maybe WebOS tablet?) or some sort of major plan change. dual core phones are no longer a "first" since the announcement of several at CES.
could be a release date announcement for the PlayBook 4G as well. (this is pure speculation as i have no inside knowledge on any of these devices)

Dual core phone would be awesome, but until some kind of new battery is created, I really can't see myself getting one.
I love powerful phones, but how much is too much?

3D something or other.

Probably a iPhone with 4g

with the dual cores....we should get better battery

^ True, because having multiple virtual cores means they can run in parallel which saves power compared to having power hungry physical cores.

They'll probably start charging us per service (YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, etc.) but spin it in such a way that we'll think it's actually good news. That's why David Blaine's gonna be there. They need his mystical powers of mind control.

1st Nintendo phone

Seriously, it could be the 3D Android phone that you don't have to wear glasses for.
It would tie in to having David Blaine, and the phone has already been launched in Japan.

Evo 3d and nexus have credit on Sprint server

Go to now.sprint.com/nexus and you get an image that credits it
And if you go to now.sprint.com/evo3d it directs you to the home page. That showing they are crediting it.

Well see thats my question.
will the Evo 3d be a Lg phone or a htc phone?

It has that Samsung feel to it, but it's a pretty sweet phone. It feels solid and the little chin bit feels nice in the hand, but I'm not huge on the plastic myself. Nice to see it at least come to Sprint, I'm not entirely sold on these dual cores as I don't game or take in a whole lot of media on it sans music / random videos. 3D phones ... ehh, it should be the big phone of the 2 and I know the 3D toggle will be there ... and there is all that talk about 3D on displays that don't really do it justice ... blah blah blah. I'd consider the Nexus S, especially for just a year. Will be interesting to see what is what.

I'm itching to find out how much it'll sell for. I don't have any problems with selling my Evo to get my hands on a Nexus S on Sprint.

they will soon. probably at ctia. but their dual cores are inferior to the tegra/samsung dual cores. @ 1ghz vs 1ghz, htc/qualcomm's is about 25% slower. qualcomm is setting them at 1.2 ghz so it'll make up some of the gap but power consumption will shoot up plus the tegra 2 is 5nm smaller so tegra 2 is overall more power efficient. i'd personally want a tegra 2 but not much of a choice.

why is this being posted again now? This was shown in the other lengthy thread about the new phones coming. Site has been like that for a week, and I wanna say someone posted in that thread saying the nexus one has been like that since it was rumored to come to sprint a long time ago too, and ended up not.

Its just hard to take Samsung serious when it comes to phones. I mean the rule the tv world but I just don't like how they support their phones(taking forever with updates/fixes). Very hard to believe the nexus s is a sammy product and not an HTC.

Nexus S IS NOT SAMSUNG's. For the last time, GOOGLE wanted the phone, GOOGLE gave samsung the specs, GOOGLE tested it, and it's aosp. It is no where close to the **** support that the other samsung craphones get.

Anyone keeping the EPIC when the EVO 3D comes out?

I came from the EVO to epic so im very familiar with evos style and how its handles as a smartphone but damn that EVO 3D looks very temping to go back.. and just in time for my yearly upgrade in july when it looks to be dropping i might just go plung for it and do like i do all my other phones including the epic and EBAY It...
how about the rest of yall? Nexus S doesnt appeal to me

Yes. 10char

then comes to question am i willing to go without a keyboard again.. ill have to look deeper into the display once it does hit the store.

I've been buying AMOLED devices since 2008.
No AMOLED, no purchase.

definitely keeping the epic. it does everything and more I could possibly want from a phone. I'm not really buying into this whole 3d thing yet either.

It all depends on how good the screen & display looks.

The epic is the best smartphone they have right now. I do not consider a phone without a keyboard a smartphone. I can't stand when someone hands me a phone to type a message...setup some things etc...when it is a virtual keyboard.

Nothing to see here, move along. I'm keeping my Epic

I wonder how the 1.2 dual core does in quadrant scores and linpacks ............ lol with the extra boost of ram, thats what my main eyes on.. its a evo supercharged and i did miss my evo so i would love to see how it is.. samsung to me been a **** up, developers shouldnt work so hard to do what they shoulda had done right from first go around and im an all time htc fan...i love their quality hardware, never had a problem with em.. keyboard i will miss but, i can type better on glass than on samsungs skipped keyboard.... *even with the patches* :/

I would never pay retail price for a phone and I don't get upgraded for another 14 months.
aka no.

Absolutely NO! Did you all see what happened to the Evo Shift? That thing benchedmark looooowwwww! And not to mention the down grade on the screen. Really? Htc, your doing it wrong.
And if the 3d looks like the nds, shot yourself in the nuts.

I can't stand the Epic. Ideally, I'd go back to iOS but Sprint doesn't have an Iphone. Anyhow, the answer is no. I'll probably get an EVO 3D.

Not quite...my understanding is that it's only a single core processor. I'd rather have the 3D feature and not use it if I have to give dual core up.
OP, the only phone we know is coming soon that's in the same class as the new generation of phones is the Samsung Galaxy S II. HTC and Moto have both released top-end phones on Sprint in the last few months. My guess is that after the SGSII, the next high end phones we see on Sprint will be the next Nexus and other phones designed for ICS.

Blackberry Bold Touch and Blackerry Torch Touch on 8/21, Samsung Galaxy S II in the next month or so, the Nexus Prime within 3 months or so.
the conquer is lame, and if youre gonna get a kingdom, you might as well get a 3d...
photon and 3d are already out, and are most certainly superior in specifications to the evo.

Is this an annoucement date or when the phone is actually going to be available?
I had planned on waiting a couple months to see what comes out but I left my EVO in a golf cart this past weekend and before I got back to the course the cart kid had rinsed out the cart and got a little water on it. It wasn't even a lot of water but the phone is acting crazy now and keeps hopping in and out of car mode and goes straight to speakerphone when I answer a call. Not sure if I can put up with it like it is and I not going to spend the $100 deductible to replace.
I'm hoping my 30 day trial will get me a look at the SGS2. If not, kinda leaning towards the photon but need to spend some time with it in store. Was a little underwhelmed by the 3D.

i have seen the Photon but i have not really considered it.
I really like HTC and want to stick with it.
How does the Motorola and Samsung stack up with HTC?

this statement is false..i personally went to sprint to pay my phone bill today and while i was there i gave the photon a test drive..there is absolutly no truth about the ram operating @512 off the dock. with that being said..the photon is a very nice phone speed wise..i imagine battery life is better cuz of dual core..i did not care for the screen or the phone as a whole...HTC are hard to compete with and i will continue to be a customer.

For the people having second thoughts about the epic touch 4g

All I got go say is if you have a upgrade coming up soon this is the phone to get. If your worried about the lack of a physical keyboard trust me I feel your pain but after having this phone for about 3days already I can honestly say I don't miss the physical keyboard at all. This phone is so much earlier to root and install customs roms. The speed is incredible and with the right rom and kernel combo you can easily get over 6000 on the benchmarks score. Oh if your short on cash don't worry what ever corporate sprint store you go to they will buy back your old epic for 80.00. If you got an upgrade coming the touch is the way to go. Did I mention front facing video recorder. Well anyway it was indeed a pleasure being apart of this wonderful forum for over a year I hope to see you soon over on the epic touch forums. Take care.

Why would people update only to be stuck on contract for two years with no LTE? Plus the keyboard is still a need for me or a bigger screen the Galaxy Nexus sized screen is looking good for me. You mentioned it was easier to root and install custom ROM on the ET4G how exactly can it be easier than a one click root on froyo or flashing clockwork mod on gingerbread, then flashing a ROM in clockwork?...also with CM7(which is official on our phone now) we get front facing camera video recording also. So I don't really see the need to get an ET4G
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Negatives:
-800x480 screen: So 2 years ago. 1280x720 AMOLED or bust.
-WiMax: They're not expanding to my area, so I'd rather go with the future LTE.
-Quad-Core phones are coming out. Higher performance ceiling at the same battery use, or even less with newer deep sleep modes.
My upgrade isn't until june, so I'll be going Quad-core.

While the ET4G is undoubtedly the best Sprint phone, I don't think it is worth using an upgrade on. The OG Epic is still a very good phone and is only getting better thanks to the great work of our devs. I will be using my upgrade on a quad core LTE 1280x720 monster phone. Probably the GS3.

Wait for an LTE device. Would be the best logical phone choice imo

Yuuuuuuuup; I've decided this as well.
I bought my daughter (15 yrs old spoiled rotten brat, lol I kid) the Touch. sprint had a nice sale + her upgrade which made it a nice xmas gift.
I've played with it some and I do really like the Touch; for me personally, there isn't enough of a hardware change to switch ATM

3 words why not to get the Touch right now:

Yeah, wait for LTE, no need to upgrade yet.

im waiting for a nice solid htc.
im done with plastic samsung crap.

At this point I might as well wait until my contract is up in July and get the next generation of phones, which I hope have an LTE radio.

i was thinking about the white epic touch, but wouldn't use an upgrade for it, just the tax refund.

See a lot of people waiting on the GS3 but the 2 isn't that old, how long would it be till 3 comes out? Are there official mumblings of a 3 with specs n such or is this all just assumption?
No 4G in my area and who knows when I'll get it, not sure waiting on LTE is worth it.
*edit* also I wouldn't be using an upgrade if I did get a new one, just pay for it straight up. Store guys hate it when you get a phone without a contract though.
