i have to use my upgrade or i loose it in two days. would the evo shift be a huge downgrade to my evo? im asking because there are no other worthy upgrades right now on sprint.
i figure ill use the shift until the nexus comes out then sell both evo's for it.
Hell no! Unless you think screen size is a downgrade which it isn't.. same type just smaller. The processor is better then evo.. kb sucks tho.you can Oc to 1.5 stable .sexy
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
If you're just going to sell it, you could always upgrade, then reactivate your Evo and put Shift back in the box and keep it in mint condition so you get the most money.

even used i can easily get $300 each for both evo's. that should be more than enough for the nexus s.
Its a great phone for replacing my Hero. My EVO or my Epic, the Shift wouldn't of stood a chance.

Just use the upgrade sell a phone and put out in a bank. Wait 10 months to get the evo 3d with a mature development. EVO was boring first 4 months.

It also has a better GPU.
Couldn't you get the shift, keep it mint, and exchange it for the nexus s? That's if it comes out on April like they mentioned.

I bought one for a friend of mine and helped him root/rom it. I actually loved the keyboard, felt great to me. In fact, I haven't used many slide out KB phones, but the only one I've used better than it is on my Arrive.
Which brings up the point, why not grab an Arrive Fixx? I've had tons of fun with mine so far, and you'd have the best of both worlds OS wise.

ive heard wp7 becomes very boring, very fast though. probably because it's still a baby.
Yea, I would definitely get it.
Can't you use the upgrade online and let them send it to you? Then you can just not activate it and re-sell it?
I am strongly strongly considering the Nexus S myself. With all the rumors of HTC locking their phones down .. I think I'm going to move on to nothing but pure google phones.

True, nexus s is in my future I guess. My upgrade isn't until September of this year, by the time I get my nexus it might be pushing itself to be outdated I believe. Hopefully other phones will be around. Have fun with your shift I hear that thing can definitely hold its own.

I just wanted to say Thank You Very much to all the Devs that made my hero as good as it could be but I've now moved on to the Optimus S which Kicks ass. I sure wish we had CM6 for that phone along with Deca's Kernels
I loved my CM6 Hero but once I used an OC'd Optimus S, I just couldnt not get one. $49 phone that scores 9.5 on Linpack, 1352 on Quadrant and 54.3 FPS on Neocore @ 806 mhz I mean this phone rocks! This thing kills Angry Birds lol. I have around 275mb of free ram and even clocked at 245/480 on Conservative its much faster than my Hero (no lag) with 2 days of usage.
I have better reception and Incredible battery life. I'm talking 2+ days on moderate usage. Probably around 3 days if you didnt use it much at all. This thing is incredible for the price.
Anyways Thanks again for all the hard work from Deca to Darch to Impaler we have a great team over here at XDA and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Just bought one for 185 new on ebay. but its for my boy and xmas. Now i gotta figure out how to talk him out of it and give him the hero come the 25th.

Even startup is like 15 seconds as opposed to a minute on my hero. I'm thinking about getting the EVO shift later on but this will keep me going for a while.

Hero con froyo
BestBuy has the Optimus S free this month on contract. I do believe that I will wait for the Desire Z (Evo Shift). That and why on earth would anyone come in here praising the iphone? My old and slow Hero is way better than any iphone I have used or seen, but that is my opinion and I will keep that where it belongs.
Well I am going to rant a bit. My stepsister (4g), her father (3gs), my mother (3gs) and my wife (3g) all have iphones. I will not use any apple product but, to say the least, know a bit about them. When any of them have an issue with their computer, iphone, or vcr, I am the one that has to fix it. It just pisses me off when a damn iphone user forces their opinion on everyone else. I understand you like your phone, but I truly believe that you are probably an idiot and/or a Jehovah's Witness/Mormon (not meant to offend but those religions seem to be the most pushy).
Have fun with the Optimus S. I'm holding off for the Evo Shift.

Sent from my HTC Supersonic using the XDA app. -Electronic, Supersonic-
The primary reason I love my Evo so much is the developer support. Next to the Nexus One, this phone has got to have the most custom development going on for it. CyanogenMod, MIUI, Honeycomb (pre-alpha, but it still exists), etc. Sure, some of the newer phones like the Motorola Atrix or the upcoming Galaxy S II handily defeat the Evo in terms of specs, but you can't completely modify the software on those devices to meet your needs.
HTC made a smart decision by leaving this device completely open to development. Because of that, we'll still be ahead of the curve much sooner than these new superphones.
Now, if the Evo 2 is announced sometime soon, then that's another issue entirely .
Were you referring the "need help" comment to me? And I don't make love to my phone... lol... that would be cheating, on my wife.. ha ha ha

Looks like the HTC Evo 4G will have Gingerbread:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/23/sprint-htc-evo-4g-now-shipping-with-gingerbread/
Samsung Epic 4G still working on Gingerbread:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EE19.rdf
Who will get it first?
they will. not shocking concidering its their "flagship phone"
If the EVO does not get GB first, the EVO's owners will howl, and it will be a major coopr for Samsung, considering the EVO was out MONTHS before the Epic
Typo! Epic still has a good chance!
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-now-touting-evo-4g-android-23
of course they will.... everyone knows the Epic is their ginger step child...
We all know whats going to happen: HTC EVO will get it before Epic 4G, this is going to be the story for Epic users all over the place.
Ah, and once they release the official update, they are going to pull it and just forget about it, just like they've done the last 2 times.
Did anyone see the article was updated?

The competition between phones like the Evo and the Epic in this thread wasn't mean't to be serious. Besides, if you really have a problem with this community, then get the **** out of here.

the respective release dates from over a year ago are essentially irrelevant to current updates.
I think the Evo guys are gonna be pissed if we get it first. I had both phones, but I hope the Epic gets it first, cause it deserves it after all the BS with 2.2
no seriously... EVO is pretty much taken care of... they have CM7 do they not, so they are skipping the stock GB part...? I think the ONLY reason we are getting GB is because of the FroYo disaster... so if they get their panties in a bunch... well thats entitlement issues... then we can see who is investing in quality hardware (Epic) and who tried to by the most expensive, unnecessarily hard to get, cellular penis.
OK, tried to be nice.... Ive got nothing against EVO owners in general, nor the phone or even HTC... Im disappointed with Sprint for only giving a crap about that thing and nothing else.... I really think HTC pulled a microsoft gaming and bought their way into being seen as the best.
You people are divas....
Everything isn't a conspiracy nor are all manufacturers out to screw you. Things happen...mistakes occur....updates are delayed as a result. We'll either get it or we won't. The issue with Android is that its the first of its kind...its an OS in the hands of several manufacturers and it gets updates fairly regularly. iOS is one one manufacturer...Apple. Its easy for them to keep devices current. RIM is Blackberry...they can focus on theirs. Windows isnt as widespread nor do updates come out as regularly. Android is everywhere. It's not easy to stay current. End all this entitlement crap you people have got. Purchasing a device expecting it to stay relevant and current is retarded. I'm glad we got froyo...ill be happy if we get GB but I won't lose sleep....don't expect anything past that. But I've got my Nexus S and hopefully that will ride as far as the hardware will allow.

Oh so you agree that cutting out the influence of manufacturers/carriers will help reduce clusterfux and make things easier, hence your recent purchase of a Nexus S?? It would appear you weren't happy with the update issue as well, as thats really the only good reason to get a nexus s when you already have an epic, no?

dude i love fox news. and i switch between the epic and evo on a weekly basis. i simply do a trade over craigs list. their are things great about each phone. the 8mp cam is higher then 5mp, the epic has a better screen.. apple sues samsung over tw... so does that mean that users of epic really want an iphone or so says apple...
Well I jumped ship and got myself a EVO 3d. Made sense to upgrade this phone for only 50 bucks out of pocket.
Was able to give them back my EVO 4g for 150 bucks and I had an upgrade and only paid a grand total of 49.99 plus taxes!
Thanks everyone for the help with my EVO 4g. I even traded in my phone with the Synergy Root still in effect lol
I still can't validate giving up root/AOSP to get an upgrade.
I'd rather wait the little while and see what my options are.
Hope it turns out well for you though, you definitely bought it for a nice price.

Why wouldn't you think the Evo 3d is the "Evo 2"?

My taptu told me there's a Evo4G+ in Sprint's database.
Could be a possibility.

That phone is for other countries, what was it Korea?
It wouldn't make any sense for Sprint to have two phones the exact same but one doesn't have the 3D (which can be turned off on the phone they do have)
Its more likely there will be an Evo shift 2 and another Evo in summer '12.
lol @ thread title.

This is exactly what I keep thinking when people keeping bringing up the EVO4G+, first of all, it makes almost absolutely no sense that Sprint would bring a phone so similar to the 3D to market.
Second of all, why not just get the EVO3D if you want to upgrade? Just because the camera is 8 megapixels on the EVO4G+ does not mean it will be better in the least. It will likely lead to photos with more noise, if anything.
Is the 3D screen really that much a detractor? Do people not realize that viewing 3D content is entirely voluntary and optional?
These EVO4G+ misconceptions really need to die.

Like I said in the "my take on the 3d" thread below....I think that 99% of the complaints about it are because "3D" is in the name.
If it was called the Evo 2 and still had the 3D option people wouldn't be saying the crap they do now.

So, the evo is still a good buy then? I'm confused.
The EVO is a great buy at $99. I bought it last year and now have the 3D. With everything that can be done through rooting it runs like a champ and dev community is still supporting it fully.

well if 4 > 3 and G > D then wouldnt the evo 4G technically be superior to the evo 3D?
I get upgrades every year so it doesn't matter to me whats coming out next. I have multiple phones on my account too.
My main reason was the battery life, I have heard and read it is way better than the Evo 4g which I can already tell it is.
IMO the evo 3d is superior to the evo 4g there both 4g phones. And yes the Evo 4g is still a good buy espcially for 99.99 Give it some time and the developers will get some awesome roms and mods out for the 3D.

I honestly just think it's aesthetically unappealing. The lack of a kickstand is also a downgrade to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone as is, but just not worth an upgrade imo. All it has to offer that the OG EVO can't do is 3d.

The EVO is a great buy. There are two types of people buying the EVO 3d.
1. People who are falling for the gimmicky 3d feature.
and
2. People who just want bleeding edge technology.
As of right now and for at least another year, there isn't a thing the OG Evo can't do.
It has one of the largest dev support and is overall just a great phone. I'd however try to get the EVO off contract because in another year or so there's probably going to be something legitimately worth an upgrade.
This isn't a performance... thing. We all know the prime will be the best handset to date. But I was wondering what some of you are personally waiting for. I heard October for the prime. September for the sgs2. Pretty close. I think ill wait for the prime. My wish cane true and Sammy is making it. That 720p screen... amoled :drool: I don't care if its pentile. My epic is pentile and I personally don't have a problem with it whatsoever. I'm excited for the fall

i really want the Nexus Prime but a 4.5 inch screen is too big for my taste. I wish they stucked with 4.0. Then again this is all speculations, who knows, maybe my dream will come true and it will be 4.0 lol
I'm waiting on the Prime. Pure google is overall a better experience, higher res screen ( I think ) faster processor, plus it has

My upgrade is July. What would you do? Worst is I turn Gold then.
ehh im gonna wait for prime. i see nooooo point in getting a phone when ice cream is right around the corner. ive already learned the hard way about dealing with updates from sammy once =/ lol ... and for those talking about the screen size, you also have to take into account that there are NO physical buttons on it. everything is on screen. so even though its a bigger screen it might not actually 'seem' like its bigger. if that makes any sense lol

It should be more like the newest tablets in that sense, right?
If the prime is only a month behind the SGSII then im waiting on that.

Ooooh so it will be like honeycomb in a sense where the buttons are on screen. That's ****ing sweet!!

I hope it does go to sprint in fact all the carriers but when I asked the guy at radio
shack he told me it was going to Verizon! then i'm reading that Verizon isn't getting the s2 if this is the case then most likely its cuz they getting the prime! Also if the prime doesn't come to sprint then I'll just wait until the galaxy s3 which is in the works & will be out in 2012 that thing is going to be a BEAST!!

The best part about not being 2 year upgrade eligible yet is that I can wait. So far there is no indication sprint will get the prime, but sprint is googles bff of US carriers so you would think it would land here at some point.
Radioshack? Those people are idiots. Trust me I worked for them for 3 years there's no way they would know that. As far as the prime goes think about it.. what carrier has the nexus been most popular on? The nexus one was on tmo. The nexus s... tmo. Then sprint. With at&t being the final carrier to have it. I HIGHLY doubt Verizon is going to be the only one with it, or if they're getting it at all. It just doesn't make sense to me. Plus, **** Verizon.

Yup im thinking sprint might actually be the first to receive it this time around.
Btw when do you guys think the GS2 will get ICS? When do you think google will release source?

Love the ability to upgrade at a year. I think I'm gonna get the prime if it comes to sprint. I've had a motoblur phone...terrible then I got the evo and it was awesome sense was great but my personal opinion is pure Google is better. But there are people that enjoy sense or touchwiz. Me personally I enjoy a naked UI. GO NAKED!!!!!
