Sprint to anounce release date of supersonic?

I seen a rumor that sprint premium account holders got a message saying look out for an announcement of a groundbreaking new device tomorrow. Supersonic anyone?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/03/23/htc-supersonic-to-be-announced-on-march-24.html

I love it. We are such phone geeks that we get excited about an announcement of another annoucement. I read VZW is announcing the Nexus tomorrow and been inpatiently wating. We are proud nerds.

I don't think it will be the Nexus. It will be the HTC incredible or maybe both?

Ay, that we are.

Available this summer.... http://now.sprint.com/evo/?INTCID=CM:AB:20100323:UHP:Masthead:EVOPrelaunch:1000x190

I hope it's not too pricey, this may be what replaces my Vogue.

It's looking like goodbye to SERO...

I remember the days when I actually started the countdown to get my EVO on launch date... damn that was the best phone back then (tech wise).

The zombie apocalypse has began. Grab ur shotgun and protect ur brains

I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.

You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.

sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.

For Those Wanting Remote Control

I have noticed several threads lately of people wanting remote control of their Android phone.

damn dude, sucks to be you. I mean what a decision... take a free evo now or wait a while and take a free "whatever comes next"
I'm so glad I only had the options of buying an evo or not buying an evo

I had messed with this one, but the 1 issue that would keep me from using it is you have to be connected through USB.

Adios HTC Hero.....

Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

Hey impaler I just want to thank you for putting your time into the themes that you did for everyone and the htc ime keywords. Have fun with your samsung epic 4g.

Tell HTC how happy you are with the locked bootloaders

Hey guys,
here is HTC Facebook page.
Looks like it is starting to pick up with people complaining about the bootloader being locked.
Maybe we can all jump on there and let them know how happy we are that they are doing this, along with what other phones we will be buying now.
Hit thanks!

I just checked the HTC fan page. Only one post on that entire first page is NOT about the locked bootloader. That's just amazing to me. Question is, will HTC listen to what the customer wants?

yeah i saw the page too but they won't change it before launch... something made them do this to the 3d. basically i think htc is saying them do not support flashing custom roms.
ill stick to my new nexus s 4g thanks!

Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
You will be missed

So does this mean the Evo 3d can never be rooted? Or does it just make it more difficult ?
