Well guys ive had my hero since launch and she has been great to me for sure but my evo showed up at my door today. I helped alot of you and tons of you helped me for sure. The heroc forum was my favorite so far(ive been in 4 other lol) what a great bunch of guys(talented ones might i add). I just wanted to say thanks and show appreciation to the devs and other users whom i became friends with and or enemies . Well i guess i will be moving to the EVO forum *tear* peace out dude.
Have fun with your new HTC evo

Yeah Brother enjoy the sweetness,and thx for you contributions
Have fun! Should've gotten the Epic!!!
I will be in this boat as soon as Sprint formally announces how much the Shift costs, and when I can throw my hard earned money at them.

So the question then would be WHY? Lol, or is it just personal preference?
I've been past my date for a few months now (upgrade) and have thought of going EVO, but still love my Hero much, lol, as such, I'm hesitant to make the jump.
I wish they made the Hero with a snapdragon processor and a slightly larger screen and all would be good, hahaha. HTC Knight maybe???
What are your thoughts. Your opinion is valued and appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

The HTC Knight is 99% going to be a Sprint-branded, uglier version of the G2/Desire Z (closer to the Desire Z in that it runs Sense, as opposed to nearly stock):

I've been debating for a while now whether to go ahead and get an EVO, but something keeps nagging at me that once I do, they'll announce a new, faster, better phone.
I guess with CES coming up, that will be all the announcements we'll have for the quarter. That'll have to be the time to come to a final decision.

Yeah but for 99 you can't beat it and the evo won't be outdated for a while plus so many devs jumped ship to the evo it probably the hottest forum right now.

Epic has the screen, keyboard, and is blazing fast. Much faster than the evo on 2.1 than the evo is on 2.2

Like what i did in the title there? 2pro, anyways
Been following everyone going from HeroC to Evo shift. did loads of research as im picky about my phone. just took the plunge 2 hours ago and has not looked back!! i almost dont want to root it cause its already fast as F*$%
so point being: thank you to all the XDA devs and mods, and everyone else that points in there 2 cents and effort.
look forward to messing with this bad boy
If i can add to this thread. After reading specs i was going to get an epic. But after reading almost everything here im getting a shift. I havent seen one bad comment on it yet!! Thank you everyone on here!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I'm sure I bad mouthed it initially, but I'm anal about my phones. Let's just say it has started to grow on me. The future looks bright
It's really a great phone, especially coming from a Heroc. Heck, I barely use the keyboard cuz' I have gotten used to "swyping"
...and the phone is smooth, fast, and all that jazz.
Is swype preinstalled on the shift?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
It isn't, but but the Swype beta was open last time I checked so go apply!
My only gripe is the screen size seems so small.

I used to own an Epic and man there is a hell of a lot of drama over there. Even on their IRC...the truth is that there are just not enough handsets out there yet. Dicks will eventually buy it and then start trolling here.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

This will happen the moment a "one-click" root method is available.
It will be up to us to keep them in line, and keep our little piece of the world free of riff raff.
The Hero forum really wasn't that bad to be honest with you either.
If you thought the Echo was bad, wait till you start seeing the horrendous clamshell cases start popping up for it. Sprint has suddenly regain it's status as the laughing stock of the mobile world.

"With just three small movements you can unease your phone, transform it. and recase your 'tablet'! The tablet case also has a hinge on it, that can break while you go to PC mode! If you're buying a terrible phone, why not get a case that's just as bad?"

I showed my roommate this phone, (he has a palm pixi) and he asked when its coming out. He's screwed because he jumped on a pixi and his contract ends this summer. He better hope an evo 2 comes out of nowhere.

I thought I would share this with you all. It's kinda lulzfull that people know who we are.
I am currently with T-Mobile, but am more than likely going to switch to Verizon when they become AT&T-Mobile late on this year as I hate everything that is ATT and refuse to give them my money. So anyways here's the story. Note that I am ME and the Verizon guy is VZW, and that it's kinda emelished for the lolz, but this conversation did genuinely happen.
Me-Oh hai, I'ma lookin at switching from T-Mobile to you guys and would like to ask about a Thunderbolt and see what kind of packages you all offer.
VZW-KK coolio. The T-bolt is awesome, but kinda expensive...might I reccomend the !FASCINATE!?
Me-TROLOLOL it doesn't haz froyoz!
VZW-BUT IT'S COMING! I SWEAR.
Me-....-.-....bro, I am a moderator at XDA developers...I know stuff.
Then the entire conversation changed.
VZW-...wow really? I visit XDA all the time! I used to have a Fascinate but I got tired of waiting for OTA Froyo so I went with the Thunderbolt as soon as it came out. I still have my Fascinate though and I use the newest Superclean ROM. What board do you moderate?
Me-....the HTC Rose...and the Fascinate.
VZW-Really?
Me-Yeah...names ashasaur.
VZW-DUDE. I KNOW YOU. MY NAME IS-(deleted cause he doesn't want me to put it here). I like what you did with the trolling.
Me-Yeah that stuff is kinda outta control but I am working on it.
VZW-Yeah that times_infinity dude really trolled everyone bad, I thought you where gonna ban him.
Me-Naaaahh. We are all cool.
VZW-So yeah, the Fascinate SHOULD be getting Froyo within 2 months...but again, we have hearing that for the last year almost.
Me-That's why I want to go with the Thunderbolt, because of good updates and solid HTC hardware.
VZW-Well I have to say that I admire all the devs at XDA, and that I love the custom ROMs for the Fascinate. I have used basically every version of SC that has come out and love it to death.
Me-Yeah I hear that SC is a pretty boss ROM.
*20 minutes of going on about plans and stuff*
Me-I do believe I am going to switch here in about a month.
VZW-Awesome, we look forward to having you.
Me-Word.
Anyways, this HONEST TO GOD took place. I was geeking out the entire time over the fact that someone out there knows who we are. Anyways, that's my story. Thoughts?
That's cool as heck! I've been a xda fan since my moto q

It's funny about that Froyo stuff given that it was really just two days away. I'd wait for Droid Charge if anything. The T-bolt sucks battery on 4G and apparently it's a hardware issue with the chips inside it not playing nice with each other.

You shoud have Told him " Hey, so Do i get a discount now or do i Need to get someone Banned ??? "
So I got a Epic Touch for a reasonable price that should be arriving tomorrow. Not getting rid of my Epic, but it won't be on a line. I'll be happy to test anything for people. Please feel free to contact me. I'll be lurking and helping here still. Not to fear.
Let us know how it is going from epic's QWERTY to no-keyboard.
The keyboard options for new phones are sparse and not terribly viable (droid 4's display, bootloader, etc).
It will soon be time for all of us to move on, and life in the non-qwerty world seems daunting!

Omg when my sister upgraded to the 4S on att I played with it for a bit and she got a text and I saw a little symbol in the "notification bar" uptop and habitually swiped down and forgot I was on an iphone lmfao I was like "O.O and they sue google partners over **** that people can't even see?"
I wish we had "technology courts" or something that will have judges who specialize in electronics and will actually know when a company is suing, that company also has parts blatantly stolen from "company b".
