I can't wait!
Ditto. I've been sitting on my upgrade since October waiting for this. Seeing some speculation that its LG's Optimistic 3D with the Evo name....hope its HTC personally.

ha...I meant Optimus
you know the EVO 3D will be a HTC phone....
Even the Nexus S 4G sounds wonderful to me....
Yess......I can't wait...I have too been sitting on an upgrade since October and im ready for another phone.. The hero was great but the processor is just not fast enough to keep up with android OS the way it should be run. I'm so happy! I knew sprint had something up there sleeves after the disaster at CES (only dropping the shift)
Well, they better not disappoint!! (again).. Im really looking forward to this.
I am in exactly the same boat as all of you. I've been up for an upgrade since October.
BTW... what are you guys planning to do about your upgrade if this phone is released in June?
Can you chime in on my thread about an upgrade at this link?

I'm pumped and I hope HTC does the EVO 3D, not LG. I did read about Qualcomm's new dual core chip and its supposed to blow away the Tegra 2 in performance and battery life. If LG does do the EVO 3D, then I'm going with Nexus S.

well i would choose HTC before LG but either way.....and the nexus s is good but what is the performance compared to tegra 2(assuming LG has the Evo with tegra 2...and again if it is the LG)
huge fan of htc phones so i really hope its going 2 be htc. sense is unbeatable. the optimus is good but doesnt compare

htc sense all day. beats all other UI's
Well, I wonder if Sprint will make a special request of Samsung, like they did with the Epic, and have a Nexus S with a external storage. I would consider one, then. You know as there new dev unit, google and the devs here will be blowing that thing up. I just wish it wasn't a Samsung.

I qualified for upgrade since 11/1/10 and im elegible was wondering if after april 1st I'll keep my elegibility or will start from 0 .
yeah nexus s 4g NEEDS a memory card slot
If its the LG 3D phone then I think its powered by TI's OMAP4 SoC which from what I understand about it, blows pretty much everything out of the water, and uses significantly less power than other options.
I was an Nexus-One owner, loved the phone, but hated T-Mobile, too many dropped calls, and very poor building penetration around Chicago, inside skyscrapers and Basements T-Mobile drops dead. So I made the switch to Sprint and picked up the EVO 4G the first week it came out, and loved it. Never drop a call, and this phone works great in my Basement office, and inside buildings, where my two previous T-Mobile phones never worked ( Blackberry 9700 + Nexus-One )
But I got tired of the brick size feeling of the EVO, and poor battery life, even though I am rooted with custom ROM that helps double my battery life, it is pretty still bad. So I got the itch for the Nexus-S when it first came out, I said F. it, going back to T-Mobile to get this Nexus-S. I just LOVED the Nexus-S, great light featherweight, very compact and fits in pocket easily, the screen tech is beautiful, and 2.3 Gingerbread was great. It was by far my fav phone.
But after two weeks I returned it and came running back to Sprint and my EVO. It was not the fault of the Nexus-S, but the same T-Mobile issues I had 6 months ago with my Nexus-One and Blackberry, dropped calls, and **** connection when inside Basement office or deep inside tall buildings. For some reason Sprint is much better around Chicago if your in tall buildings.
So I think Sprint bringing the Nexus-S will be great, I will for sure get it. And it is good overall for the "Nexus" brand, gives it more exposure, and more accessories and stuff will be made for it. I think it would be cool if the "Nexus" brand just stayed with the non iPhone carriers like T-Mobile and Sprint. They say the Nexus is Google's version of the iPhone. So lets see the Nexus-3.0 come out at Christmas on both T-Mobile and Sprint only, and be the baddest ass phone ever created, and market the **** out of it to destroy the iPhone5

You will start from zero unless you have an individual plan that costs $89.99 or more a month, family plan that is $179.99, or been with Sprint for at least 10 years.

hTC Evo CM7-n17
I'm thinking of switching to sprint, which means a new phone (yay) and as I browse my phone options I hear a lot of good things about the Evo. My question for you guys is, is the evo shift pretty much the same as the evo just with the slide out keyboard? is one somehow "better" in some aspects then the other? I would love to have the keyboard but to be honest I usually use the on screen one anyways on my current phone (Tmobile G2).
My second question is, which other phones would you say are worth considering as well?
Lastly, I'm also thinking of switching to Verizon when the Thunderbolt comes out. The main reason I'm switching is because I'm pissed off that Tmobile is cutting my internet speed after I reach 5 GB bandwidth and I know that Sprint and Verizon are the two providers that don't do that. However It appears that Verizon will charge you a higher fee once you go over 10gb bandwidth, which would be ok if the Thunderbolt is really cool

The Shift is basically the G2. The Evo is basically the Thunderbolt. The Evo has more dev support
The thunderbolt is a bump from the Evo but the Evo so far got some great developer suppport , thunderbolt might see that but is kind of late to.come out with a phone like that from HTC and verizon, so imo I wouldn't get it. The shift has a smaller screen not ffc but it has a near procesor.so is practicly faster then the Evo, I'll say wait till CTIA to see if sprint got something even better for June

i like the evo 4g over the shift. IMO i think there is no point of having a slide out keyboard if you have a touch screen. i love touch screen keyboards. as far as the screen i LOVE how big the evos screen is. it makes my texting and just overall looking at the phone better.
EVO Shift:

I think you would come to prefer a 4.3" screen versus a 3.6" screen.

I just read an article that said the HTC EVO 4G+ is coming to Sprint. It's has the same specs as the 3d minus the 3d. What do you think should we wait?
I wonder how much cheaper it will be. If it were $50.00 cheaper and I qualified for an upgrade I'd consider it.

link?.....
Since this is my first post I can't post a link it was on drippler and I think it came from gsm arena
For the OP, here's the link: GSM Arena
As it happens, I don't see anything regarding a Sprint announcement.
This model of the EVO 4G+ is the South Korean variant and does not support WiMax.
Korea has some other 4G tech.
It IS an official HTC product, but this is not a Sprint phone.
The 4G+ supports what's called WiBro which is actually Wimax. I think its just a different standard, but it could probably become compatible with sprints Wimax with modified software. I'm only speculating as I am in NO WAY knowledgeable of the technology.

Too bad for us here.
Will love to see EVO 4G world phone.

No kickstand! I have zero interest in the 3D technology, so if this was a bit cheaper I would certainly think about it. It just seems the hardware is a bit underwhelming when you consider what is coming out later in the year. I never understood why HTC didn't make the EVO its flagship brand and make an incredible iPhone killing EVO 2. Then again, they let Sprint destroy the stock EVO with its **** bloatware, so I guess I am expecting too much.
Rooted EVO and no bloat. With the 3d coming out and the I5 also, you can be sure an EVO 2 is on the way. HTC is also shipping with an open bootloader so you can delete the bloat. Devs will be cooking roms faster then ever. HTC and Sprint listens to what the masses are requesting. I say kuddos to HTC and Sprint, keep up the good work

Then youll be waiting for a long long time b/c its not coming here. its an overseas device. plain and simple.
looks like Korea is getting the 4g+
http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Flyer-4G-and-EVO-4G-Arrive-in-South-Korea-at-KT-207938.shtml
4g+ nice!!!
I'd get the 4G+ in a heart beat to upgrade my 4G to, if the real world reviews were positive.
I'm extremely happy with my 4G and it would take a lot for me to give it up. And the 3D technology is something that is not doing it for me, even though the other technology of the 3D is stuff that would sway me. But that 3D stuff is a deal breaker along with that button and switch to operate that gimmick.
Edit:
Since the 4G+ is going to Korea, I'll wait for the next non 3D HTC device to come to Sprint.
I have a feeling I'm not alone regarding waiting.
And I have a feeling that there are many EVO 4G owners that will not be giving theirs up for the 3D.
Even though the rest of the upgrades on the Evo 3D are what 4G owners would upgrade to, the 3D camera is a turn off for most, and may just be a marketing blunder for Sprint.
To not want the 3D just because of the camera is hard to figure out, but that is called Supply & Demand, and it may be as simple as aesthetics.
In edition, I bet only a fraction of 3D's are sold as compared to the number of 4Gs that gave been sold.
And I will go as far as to say Many more 4G owners would have upgraded to the 4G+ then will to the 3D.
Time will tell.
The thing I don't understand is that I thought that Evo was Sprint's branding, not HTC's. If this is going to Korea, why is it called the Evo?
Granted, all the Evos so far have been HTC, so maybe I'm wrong about who owns the brand. But so far Evo has only been used on Sprint, and I thought it was theirs. Like how Verizon uses Droid.
I was searching on the web, and it appears HTC was getting a trademark for the 'EVO' .name, but I am not exactly sure. Plus I don't know if trademarks are International.
On another note, I would like to know the following regarding the 4G and 3D >>
- how many 4G owners are keeping their 4G and have no interest in buying the 3D?
- how many 4G owners kept their 4G but purchased the 3D?
- how many 4G owners traded in their 4G to get to get the 3D?
- how many Sprint customers never had a 4G and purchased the 3D as their first EVO?
The following questions may be better answered after 30 days >>
- how many 4G owners are glad they kept their 4G and are returning their 3D?
- how many 4G owners are so happy with the 3D that they regret not trading their 4G?
- how many 3D owners wish they kept their 4G and would return their 3D if they did?*
* when customers trade in their 4G to get the additional $150 off the 3D, what happens if they want to return the 3D within the 30 day trial period?
- how many previous 4G owners traded in their 4Gs and are glad they did?
- how many customers are not happy with their 3D, but since they traded in their 4G and cannot get it back, don't admit their dissatisfaction to others?
- how many of the above will admit their dissatisfaction to others?
I just got back from playing with the Evo 3D at a local Sprint store . Its a nice phone but I dont care for the 3D or the dual cameras . Yes Im aware that you can disable the 3D and run the phone like normal . For some reason it just pushes me away , I feel like Im buying something that has a feature on it that I will never use . Mainly due to the fact that I used the phone for maybe 5 mins and the 3D gave me a headache . Needless to say if they launch the EVO 4+ I will be in line to upgrade my EVO 4G in a heartbeat . Till then Im with the other Evo customers and sticking with my original EVO . On a side note I know when I walked in they were all over me about selling me one . Me personally I dont think the EVO 3D is selling as good as they hoped it would . If I wanted to watch something in 3D I wouldnt be doing it on a 4 inch screen I would go home and use a 50 inch flatscreen for that . Just my two cents
Sprint isn't getting it. It's going to Korea

I have always been one of those people who buys a new phone ever few months, I just never found that phone that did what I wanted to it to do How I wanted it to do it. Well Ive had my EVO since launch and have no plans on retiring it (even though the phone itself is being retired). It just does everything I need it to, takes good pictures (some require editing but what the hell) Works beautifully as my GPS with the Seidio car dock. Plays games (although I don't play games often) Oh..And it makes calls too.
So what kind of phone features would make you ditch your evo?
A new LTE phone for sprint
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I dont know..maybe a Nexus Prime.
I just came from a Samsung Epic and I gotta say I miss they keyboard, but the Evo's huge screen pretty much makes up for that along with the HTC Sense keyboard which is definitely the best soft keyboard I've used as well as Swype. Also the Super AMOLED screen was really nice too.
So for something I'd trade it would probably be the Samsung Galaxy S II whenever it comes to Sprint lol it has a 1.2 ghz processor, 4.3 inch Super AMOLED+ screen, I believe an 8mp camera if not 5 mp (the Epic took some great pictures so I'd expect these to be great as well), and also it being thinner which is always good for me.
I've got four months until I am eligible for an upgrade so it's too soon to tell. If it's available when the time comes, probably an iPhone. If not, it'll probably be whatever the flavor of the week Android phone is when my upgrade time comes.
The only phone I'm interested in is the Galaxy S II. if it has a keyboard...heads WILL roll.

unless I get an upgrade before 2012 I'll be waiting for summer 2012 to trade my evo in
Something htc in 2012. Like the option of sense and aosp
My upgrade just opened up today. I could rush to the store and get a Evo 3D or Photon 4G...but I'm waiting for the Galaxy S II which I guess is supposed to be called the Within. Like I've been drooling over this phone since it was announced. The Evo 3D did not impress me and I felt like it wasn't much of an upgrade over the OG Evo, and while the Photon is a very nice phone Blur is a deal breaker and I've heard the Pentile display isn't the greatest. The GSII just has everything...best display on the market, super thin, fastest processor on the market. And I like how it has a lot more onboard storage than the Evo does (things that would normally be on the SDcard will load faster, and my onboard storage on my Evo gets really tight with some of these massive Sense roms).
It better be released within August. While it just went through the FCC for certification for Sprint, Europe has had it for months. I am getting tired of waiting. Reason I am not waiting till next year for an LTE phone is because I doubt Sprint will even have an LTE network up and running next year. And if they do, it won't be until around this time or later in the year, and by that time I'll have another upgrade open.
Id get a Iphone...

Hmmm peoples problems with the One XL
No microsd card (Evo 4G LTE has it)
Bigger battery (Evo 4G LTE has it)

I love my Evo 4G and My contract is up for renewal this october, I plan on rocking this bad boy.
Love it or hate it the Evo 4G is one of those devices like the G1, The Droid and the Galaxy S that have made a significant impact on where android is today. I'mm glad to see the Evo name continue
i honestly cannot wait any longer for this!
Am really happy about this phone. if sgs3 takes too long then am going with this. Also happy they have something better than apple, the camera is a killer, and i miss sense.
im happy about this device. I love how they reverted back to the old style of the OG evo yet kept the new one series look to. They merge together perfectly. And the specs are awesome too

Keeping the Evo line with Sprint seems to be a great idea. I like the kick stand. Looks bold!
Preorders start May 7, any guesses on how long after that before its released?
The back is the only thing bothering me with this refresh of the Evo line. I hope this renews my faith with the Evo line I was a huge fan of the 4g I had a 32g sd that was stocked with ROMS and apps for it I had never seen a phone with such a development following like the Evo 4g then came the 3D and that phone pissed me off I had it replaced 5 times and I'm still getting intermittent problems with the screen, audio issues but I'm done with continuing to go back and forth having a tech look at phone to only replace with a refurbished POS. let's hope this bring us back to Glory days of the original Evo 4g.
