This is just an onslaught of high end options! Thought this one had gone away.
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/rumors/6904-tmobile-samsung-hercules-android
How are we supposed to decide which phone to get next with all these choices!? Lol
And for the 'over $350' part... with a new contract? I honestly don't see that happening. I think $200 and maybe $250 will continue to be the price point for high end phones for a while.

This is actually the same dual core family as the msm8660 dual core snapdragon, not sure what the difference is though. But the hercules only has 1gb of ram, even the Evo Shift has 2 gb.

apparently the bold html he added threw it for a loop (remove the )
"It basically matches the HTC EVO 3D, HTC Sensation & Samsung Galaxy S2 in many ways but offers a larger display."
The new toys will always be better than the old toys in some ways . . . what other industry can pry hundreds of dollars from their customer's wallets every year or so, willingly, just by providing new eye candy . . ?
Sounds great... if it wasn't a Samsung ...

Uh, what are you smoking? The Shift has 512 mb ram.
And the only difference with this phone and the EVO appears to be a .2 inch difference on the screen, and super amoled.
You'd still be trading in a higher resolution, 3D, and a dedicated camera button for this phone.
I look at it this way. I won't be due for upgrade til January, so I'll looking in December, at what's out there. My only mistake with the Evo was that it was already out 6 months when I got it, although it was good in that a LOT of development had already been done on it, still, my next upgrade will be a newer device.

Well losing 3D isnt really a big loss lol... at all. And as far as the resolution, the SAMOLED screen display is still the best there is anyways.
4.5"!!! Dear lord. After having an Evo, I want my next phone to be a 4"... of course it seems like the specs go up with screen size, which is stupid. I don't see awesome specs in anything less than a 4.3 these days.
The Evo 3d and Sensation will both have locked bootloaders(so the rumors say) plus the 3d has a ****ty 5mp camera(ok 2 of them but who the hell cares about taking 3d pics?) and the sensation has no 4G and only 1GB of internal memory(WTF HTC?).. Also this phone(as well as the Galaxy S 2) is made by Samsung. So, while you may be positively torn by this difficult decision, I assure you that I speak for many of us here when I say "MEH, I'm good with my Evo".

I feel the opposite of you. I got my Evo in March of this year and I am glad I waited. My friend recently got a Thunderbolt when it was only out 2 weeks and there were barely any ROMS for it, it was a NIGHTMARE to root and he had hardware problems(which supposedly will be fixed in later versions). However when I got my phone, it had a TON of dev work done on it, and the hardware kinks were sorted out. Of course if you don't wanna root/flash etc then a brand new phone would do great. But I wouldn't want one. Not to mention you never know when the newest phone will be a success or not. Some phones never "take off" and so the Devs don't do much for them. But by getting a slightly older phone I was able to make sure that the there was a large DEV community devoted to it. Some of the device forums for android phones are down right depressing in their lack of goodies!!
Lol, to crush? Really?

the new 5mp sensors should be better than our 8mp ones, just because of quality. iphone's 5mp KILLS our 8mp any day. so this to me says the 3d will be better than the evo in every way (minus kickstand, and maybe the dreaded bootloader lock, in which case the sgs2 will be the best probably)

That's really just an assumption tho. The reason(according to my google search) that we have crappy cameras isn't the sensor it's the fact that the video has to be compressed as it's recorded(even for stills) to the SD card. SD cards are slow. iPhones don't have them. They don't need the compression. The same manufacturer actually makes the cameras for both HTC Evo and Iphone 4. I'm not a DEV so if that's not true don't blame me that's just what I'm reading. Anyway, since the Evo3D has only 4g Internal it's a pretty safe bet that they will still be writing to an SD card. So unless HTC has figured out how to compress better(and that may not even be possible for all I know) then I'm very worried that the camera's won't be better at all. But if the 5mps look better than the 8mps we have now, and IF there is no locked bootloader then and only then would I even consider an Evo 3D. So here's hoping that they read this post and scrap them all and start over! We want our kickstand!

is the Evo 4g basically outdated already? with the samsung galaxy s and the droid x coming out all i hear are better screen better processor pretty much better everything since even the 8 megapixel camera on the evo is lousy. really makes you think....
no phone will be the best for more than 3 months, ever
Not being the latest thing doesn't equal outdated. Frankly after having the CDMA Hero forum here be such an asset to me, I will follow the phone with the most developer pull.
Evo is it for me until Sprint drops the next flagship, then I will continue the never-ending game.
Huzzah for competition and technology!
The camera is actually fine, idk what problems your having with it but it will get better thanks to our amazing devs. yes it has a few quirks they are working out still, but im sure the droid x might or the samsung epic 4g. its apples and oranges, sprint vs verizon, 4.3" touchscreen to hardware qwerty. all clocked at 1GHz. i dropped $500 on the evo and dont regret it at all. plus we have the strongest dev community at xda, cant underestimate them either.

There's always something better just around the corner. The EVO is a great phone, are there other phones that may be slightly better coming soon, yes. It happens every year in every industry as companies build toward christmas and then there's a lul during the winter months as they put the finishing touches on their spring/summer releases. It's just the way the industry works.
I don't like Samsung since they have a bad track record of handling their older devices. Plus the modification on the UI makes an update seem even more delayed. Evo is still the best bet IMO.
i personally like the evo alote. done some modding here and there and now im just really hoping that there able to break the fps cap on the 002 devices. it runs smooth never have i had to restart it unlike my old hd2 that needed atleast 3 restarts per day. its a great device and i guess like someone else said its a never ending cycle of better devices coming out.
droid x is missing a frontfacing camera and is on verizon which will cap data soon.
Its other hardware is definitly better, but i dont think it would noticable under 95% of the conditions you use your cellphone for.
Also motorolla locks there phones down making it much more unlikely it will have a large dev community.
The galaxy is also probably a little better and a version is even coming to sprint. But still not worth the hastle of trading in the evo now and waiting for it. By then something even better will have been announced.
I think the evo is still the best option for a year or so when the next iteration of smartphone comes out. probably dual core
Evo is Sprint's flagship phone for a while. I doubt they'll be dropping a new one anytime soon. I'm happy that newer Android devices tops another. It helps the overall goal of the 'Openness'. I welcome something better. Because I know that theyll get ported over to the Evo.
From the HTC Evo!!

Samsung managed to fit a QERTY keyboard in a 14.2 mm phone. It is only a 1.5 mm thicker than the Evo (lot of wasted space inside).
The only thing that I'm not impressed with the Evo is how 'thick' it is. Galaxy S and i4 are both so much thinner.
Sprint was smart by releasing their device first. Now everyone is following suite. WE can say that all these other phones are "me too phones."
Definitely not outdated.
Droid is not 4g. But the Galaxy Pro is with Sprint so they have 2 4g phones now (if only they had the 4g network!)
The droid has the same TFT LED screen as the EVO (slight higher resolution, though not noticeable to the eye from what I can tell). Samsung is now withholding their AMOLED technology for their phones for the time being.
Each company needs a comparable phone to stay competitive.
Because all these phones are coming out within weeks of each other, the Evo is not getting the press anymore. Hell, now that the droid x is coming, the iphone4 has lost media attention too.

good luck with Emulators considering that Samsung devices do not recognize multiple keys at the same time. Try pressing forward and turning...it doesn't work.
Samsung may look Greener but don't be fooled into jumping the fence.

Agreed. Though I already know I won't be switching to any of them. I'm happy with my EVO but I have to say, if the EVO had that Super AMOLED display... jeez! Look at that Galaxy S startup screen! I love how AMOLED screens make the phone look like a real PURE black slab. I've actually been searching for a screen protector for my EVO to make it look consistent when the screen is off (all I've found are privacy screen protectors but hear they make the screen unresponsive, and mirror protectors have too much glare outside apparently).
The Galaxy S Series phones do have many pros but I really have no need for a faster GPU (I don't game much outside of Drop 7 or Speed X 3D). TouchWiz isn't very appealing but the new version has some REALLY cool features judging from the Youtube video showing it off. But still, the EVO does everything I need and more and the developer community behind it is the best hands down. I have no battery problems, I've already been guaranteed a replacement for light leakage when the new shipments come in and the 30fps has a workaround, and will be fixed in due time I'm sure (thought it never really bothered me in the first place).
I'll hold out for the next monster phone, which I'm sure will be available around the holiday season. I have another upgrade in October.
I also want to watch and see if Samsung has improved their support for their devices and wait and see what problems/issues arise from the Galaxy S lineup. If Samsung can prove to me that they've changed their ways then I'd be more than happy to be an adopter of the Galaxy S2!
Quite frankly, I thought the video review by that guy wasn't great at all. I don't care about his opinions, I just want to see the results/facts. I'll make my own judgments. That said, the Galaxy S is one sick phone, something I'd consider getting, but at the moment I have no need for it nor do I wish to get rid of my EVO or remove myself from the best community I've seen since registering with XDA.
Though, I will say -- being a Sprint Premier customer, I do have the option to upgrade to a new phone come November, so we'll see. I get a new phone about every 8 to 12 months anyway, so when something better comes along, it's only inevitable that'll I'll end up looking into it. However, one thing is for sure -- I won't be buying any phone that doesn't have a the same size screen (4.3") or something very comparable. I can't even look at a small screen anymore.
I love my Evo but seeing some of the performance on the Galaxy S, I wish I had this choice a month ago. *Grumble*
His Evo took forever to load up. Mines don't take that long unless I just loaded up a kernel or new Rom.

Seriously. I booted my Evo in sync with the video and it was at the desktop before he was off the white screen. It was faster than the GS as far as SD card prep and widget loading too. He's sandbagging it.

Yeah I thought it was just me for a second but I was sitting there thinking "I KNOW my Evo doesn't take nearly that long to load up". His Evo was also extremely slow and choppy. When I run the Mario Live Wallpaper, everything is fast and smooth and scrolling stays smooth and intact. His wallpaper lagged a lot. He must have a lot of stuff on his phone that's slowing it down or something.. and I thought I had a bunch of crap on mine...

Both are great phones.
Personally, I am holding off on AMOLEDs for the next few years. It's a up and coming display technology which will replace most, if not all conventional LCD's.
However, at the moment it is not as reliable as current LCDs. AMOLEDs have a shorter lifespan and can consume more power...

No way. Thats what I heard to from this site. Its the new Evo in 2011
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/htc-evo-....../
LOL... this thread is pathetic... I'm 150% sure that HTC is not planning on using the Desire HD as a template for a phone that is coming out 9 months from now (if even). There is no such thing as a phone being a template for another... period.
WHAAAT lol? Havent you wondered about the Evo2?
These choices of HTC in terms of Sense and especially Gui/processor (not the Desire hardware for Gods sake) to me begin to paint a picture.
Um...guys...the Desire HD is the world version of the EVO with HTC's latest software builds onboard, so no it is not in any way shape or form a successor device it is a sibling of the EVO. This is well known and publicized.

I okaaaay! Template is wrong word.
Im interested in what kind of upgrades might be in store for an Evo2.... and these kind of improvements begin to help.
That ok?!
My guess would be a S/AMOLED, improved 4G radio, and of course better CPU/memory/ROM/cams.

I think it would probably be SLCD instead of AMOLED given what happened with the Incredible and Desire. Whatever it'll be, I'm looking forward to it.
Samsung has everyone locked out of super AMOLED screens for like 18 months or something so it won't be that.
I know this may be off topic a bit but I know my next phone will have to have a screen equal to or larger than the Evo.
Everytime I hold a different phone it's just sad. So hopefully the Evo 2 looks like an iPad with Android

That folds up in 4's to the size of the Evo. While its folded up it can be used for texting, phone calls, and things we already do. Unfold all sides and you have a tablet with android.. Oh and there is zero creases in the screen when unfolding/folding.
And I definitely agree, I want a phone of similar size now that Iv had the Evo.
The "EVO 2" will be nothing like what is currently available. I suspect that we'll see the "EVO 2" come with 768MB - 1GB of RAM, 4+ inch display, dual core processor with a crazy GPU, and hopefully (please), a higher resolution display to take advantage of the big screen.
HTC is big on constantly putting out gradual and incremental updates. The new Desires are a small bump up from the Evo in specs and probably by next year, the next Sprint phone along the lines of the Evo will probably be a small bump up from that. The nice thing is that every year, these little upgrades have added up to something worth buying to replace your current phone.
4.3 or 4.5" would be the limit of being portable. Look at the Dell Streak if you want a reality check. The screen resolution can go up and S-LCD will be the screen. Retina display or the likes will be the push. Aluminum bodies like the Desire HD seems likely. They will probably thin out the phone and push Dual Core processors. 32GB next year will be the standard with 64GB being the step up. Hopefully by then they will push the audio/video through micro-sd a little more to get that standard down. It's being worked on now.

+ isn't as buggy as the other crap on the market. They learn from their mistakes and fix them in future releases. unlike samsung, who just releases and ditches.
The next EVO is going to be a 5" tube with a speaker on top and the mic at the bottom. It won't have a battery but will use a fuel cell that you only have to refill once a month. To see the screen you unroll the tube to use the 7x5 display. It will have 4GB of ram and a 1TB mem card, not to mention a Core i9 CPU.
wow...hilarius man...yeah...uhh really funny (that was Brian from Family Guy sorry)
In the process they also obviously have to address the two major criticisms of the Evo: 1. Battery life and 2. Fps cap.

Unfortunately it will run wp7, which tears my heart out that it doesn't have android. Hopefully there will be someone that will root it and be able to install android on it since android is open source.
Pretty much identical to the evo with a better processor, .2 bigger screen, amoled display, 16gb internal storage with 32gb support of sd card, 1gb ram (vs 512mb on evo).
Camera will be probably as ****ty as evo, but it still lacks android. idk how well wp7 will perform but from what i've seen android is a lot better in my mind.
Might wait a few months after it's release to see if it gets rooted and droided to buy it. Even with hardware specs, I don't think I could make a move to wp7 from android.
wow, definitely too bad that's for winmo
Surely a comparable (or better) EVO successor won't be too far off
C'ya sucka!
The hardware is not that much better. The real selling point of any phone now is OS. And Android is a clear winner to me. WM7 or WebOS may be awesome in the future...but it will take time to catch up, especially in apps.

The hardware is not that much better. The real selling point of any phone now is OS. And Android is a clear winner to me. WM7 or WebOS may be awesome in the future...but it will take time to catch up, especially in apps.

uhm yes there is. amoled > lcd, up to 48gb of data, 2x amount of ram (meaning more 3d apps, and faster performing phone), and as we know the .3 inch on screen makes a HUGE difference, another .2 will be killer, and the processor is newer (still snapdraggon but newer).
It's like taking all the good things about an evo, and then taking all the good things about epic and putting it together, plus some more. If this phone is released and not just another rumor, it would kill iphone4. Same hardware specs pretty much plus bigger screen, and 4g. Then all the iphone4 fan boys will stop jacking off at the sight of their phone.
The only minus is wp7, but i'm pretty sure that some dev is going to figure a way to run android on it. An android phone will never run wp7 because wp7 is not open source, but android is and so is htc sense. Meaning that someone will be able to port the same exact rom as htc stock to it, but this might or might not happen.
IMO Android will see a similar device. Hopefully Sprint picks it up.

Just got home a short time ago. While on the road with my EVO on the dash, it faithfully told me where I was going, allowed me to make/recieve calls via hands free bluetooth, all while streaming my music library from my server at home over 3g using Subsonic.
Yeah, sure, I can't wait to ditch this piece of crap for the latest piece of bling.
Win 7 Mobile. Multitasking???

Since when is HTC Sense open source?

it's not open source per say, but with the right kernel it can be packaged into the phone.
And as for multi tasking, it does offer it. you can have multiple first party apps running. It's just limiting the 3rd party apps from running because of battery issues. I've talked to multiple people that have tested out wp7 and they say battery is conserved REALLY well by doing this. Cutting down on third party apps draining battery. And that htc has a smaller battery than the evo, but i bet the one on hd3 lasts longer.
But this all doesn't matter since I'm not looking to get wp7. You guys took me as if I was supporting wp7. The hardware would do wonders for android, hence why i want to see a port before i buy it.
BUT then again, from some sources that have told me that you will be able to play xbox arcade games on it which use some AMAZING 3d graphics for a phone, versus android which has well pretty ****ty 3d games.
and as far as navigating and calling goes, you will be able to accomplish that easily. And stream music, just not from subsonic.
It's fake. 1.5 GHz Snapdragons aren't coming out until Q4 2011.

the snapdragon could be fake, but the phone itself doesn't look like it. If you take a look at the demo that microsoft put together for the phones, you would see that it looks almost identical to this phone.

I'm 99% sure it's fake. That photo has been circulating around for a very long time now. If the CPU spec is faked, so is the rest of it. With the HD3 expect nothing more than the Desire HD but with more storage -- maybe a update to the single core 1.3 GHz CPU.
Besides, it ain't about what kind of tool you have, it's all about how you use it!
it's not fake, but it isn't what it should be. Did some digging around and found this.

Well guess it wont be for sprint since it states gsm and crap. no cdma =/. + evo sized screen + only 8gb built in + kick stand looks cheap and gay. Only plus side is that its amoled

Review from engadget
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/20/t-mobile-g2x-review/
While most of the hardware in the G2x hits the spot, we're a little underwhelmed with the display. The 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480) IPS panel looks good on paper but misses the mark when compared to the competition. Sure, the colors are rich and the viewing angles are wide, but the LCD washes out more than expected in direct sunlight and suffers from a significant amount of backlight leaking out from the edges of the screen, resulting in visible "stains" on solid, dark-colored content.

It's getting rave reviews, the only complaints I have read are the light leak and the Euro version comes with a hdmi cord and the us version doesn't. Other than those two complaints this phone seems to be a winner.
Oh damn, I'm still up in the air between this one and the SGSII. Looks like Sammy's gonna win in the display dept. This is pretty disappointing to see; especially since we know LG makes the screens for the iphones. SMH.
Don't see much of an upgrade from my vibrant. Now if it had a 4. 3" screen, I would run and get one today I hope we get phone with a screen that big soon.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
People should really wait this out. The Vibrant is more than good enough for now, why rush and get the newest flawed product.
I've had 3 phones in the past 2 months, lost a mt4g over the weekend, got a gs4g on Sat, returned it today got the g2x and other than missing the optical mouse on the mt4g, for what's out there currently this phone is by far my favorite....but really how come phones are now lacking camera hw buttons and notification LEDs, that has been irking me all week, and I would take a vibrant over a gs4g because of the internal storage
im trying to wait for the galaxy 2 but i doubt i will be able to wait and find my self getting the g2x
Played around with it today at the downtown Seattle TMO store, and the screen was a major letdown for me. I went wanting to upgrade. The kicker was when I asked if I got the upgrade they said I had 3 months before my 1 year for discount to upgrade. Grrr. Wonder if the HTC Sensation will be out by then, bigger screen, faster processor, etc.

Yah, you're right. I'm deciding b/t SGSII and HTC Sensation. HTC seems to be a better choice.
Anybody knows how GPS works on HTC products ???

usually, perfect.
I wouldn't count on saying that SGSII would have a not-working GPS..
i'm sure Samsung learned from their mistake..
i mean... the GPS bug was found out like a month after Vibrant's were sold...
millions sold.
They can't re-call millions of sold products...
i got one today. while i would love to get a galaxy s II im thoroughly frustrated with samsung.

Indeed. At times it seems some people buy phones here just for the sake of having a "new" one. Why change when you've a device that works just like you want to? Better specs aint everything, looks can be deceiving.

You're right but everytime I compare this with my Olde Cliq, I piss off .Except for the not too good speed, everything works nicely and its GPS just simply blow Vibrant one out of the water (locks within 5 seconds no matter what roms I put on it Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread)
So the LG G2X runs the Tegra Duel Core, the HTC Sensation will be running their Scorpion duel core chip, and the Galaxy S2 will be running what processor?
I remember seeing something about the HTC duel core not being as good as the Tegra 2's? how about the Galaxy S2 duel core?
I know its a lot to ask, just wondering if anyone remembers seeing that HTC chip was not as good as the Tegra or what the Samsung will have.
I think it will be good to compare this as it seems like these are the 3 phones many of us are trying to decide on/wait for
Got my g2x on Tuesday, and rooted it last night, the screen is a let down my is minor compared to some overall love it, someone just finished recovery and cm7 or gingerbread STABLE real soon.. the only Sammy products I will buy here forward our their TVs
