It has almost been a year since our wonderful phone was release does anyone know when it will be discontinued? If i so happen to drop it and need to take advantage of bestbuys plan I would like to get a new phone . I know that once it is discontinued that I can just get the MSRP for it and put that toward a new phone. Thanks Guys

I doubt that it will be anytime soon since Gingerbread is still in the works for our current Evos

It was supposed to be discontinued May 21st at 6PM but it was delayed due to a new wrestling app being developed by Randy Savage and his Godly crew.

That doesn't mean anything, as soon as the next best thing comes out the old ones are dropped fast. Phone companies are notorious for this.(Verizon is the big one) The Samsung Moment was EOL'ed, but still got updates. The Droid was EOL'ed as well but Motorola and Verizon still put out a Froyo update for it, and even replaced Droids that had the camera issue with Froyo with a Droid 2. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of the Evo was EOL'ed sometime after the 3D's release.

The evo is still on backorder some places, I doubt they'll discontinue it for awhile
IT will sell a long side the evo 3d
I think the thread title should be changed to "when will the EVO be discontinued."
The current thread title indicates or causes one to think that it has already been discontinued.
It'll be dropped to 150 after the 3d drops I bet.

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?

Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
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.
if it took about 7 months for the hero to become a "outdated" phone i take it the evo will be considered old by x-mas?
I dun think so. Eco is more high end and hero was very low end compared to other phones when it came out. N1 is still popular and even g1 is pretty popular

maybe not from sprint, but better devices are just around the corner, i mean look at the desire HD, the Evo just came out, and the second gen snapdragon core with a 3x better GPU is already here...not to mention the Galaxy phones, with their hummingbird cores and super amoleds...
Id say the EVO goes EOL by q2/q3 2011 but there will still be plenty of development going on here for at least few years. I been seeing more EVOs around town lately Im wondering if there's a Walmart selling them cheap.
My upgrade is in March also I hope something phenomenal is out by then.
Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner. Look at the N1 hardware vs. Evo hardware. I mean the processor + ram, not the 'camera'. It will only be a few months until dual core processors and parallel processed apps come through and make the Evo seem slow. For now, its a beast of a king though.
I have a rooted Evo running 2.3, and I know a lot of you won't want to take time to help a fellow OP out, but. When will Sprint release an OTA 2.3 update for the HTC Evo 4G? Any ideas? Facts?
Youre input would be much appreciated, thnx.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Probably never...it's been suggested that manufacturers will be skipping 2.3 and just move to 2.4.
And Sprint won't be releasing anything anyway, this is all on HTC.
Manufacturers make the updates, send to carriers, carriers approve and and bloatware apps and release.
Yeah 2.4 sorry, so probably not then? Wow that's lame.

What do you mean probably not then?
My guess would be within the next 45 days.
We know the Evo is getting Gingerbread [2.3/2.4] so it will come.
It makes sense that it would come before Spring.
Ohh he meant sprint doesn't release updates and that its up to htc, no I know that I just meant sprint actually getting ahold of the final product and sending it out to us. I thought he was saying regardless of htc having a 2.3/2.4 update sprint will just be all natzi about it and not give it to us after they have ruined it via, bloatware and other disgusting apps. Lol sry my bad, so hopefully in 45 days cause this has taken way too long.

it's gonna be awhile for them to implement the new sense into ginger. then sprint would have to test before releasing it. if anything at best we might see it by late spring. ive never seen any documentation that even stated htc was working on it for the evo. just like the evo2 is nothing but a myth at this point.

Gingerbread was released what...almost four months ago?
It's already been a while...
Also, Froyo was released to the Evo about four months after Froyo was released by Google.

OP here, Well I'm sure that we will but since its like dead and nobody talks or knows for sure you start to think if its gonna happen at all...I don't see the echo as sprints new flagship phone and as far as I know the evo sells more than the epic and shift so if they abandon all ships on 2.3 I think yours truly is gonna have to switch over to Deutsche Telecom.

I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....

So i recently heard HTC is officially deading the EVO 4g? what does this mean for us?? We will never get an official OTA update for ICS??
Also what if my phone breaks and i go to order a replacement.....the phone will be discontinued and wont be able to get it anymore? im a little confused.
1. We never were getting an official ICS this phone hit EOL (End of Life) status back in October 2011
2. You will get a refurbished evo4g or a comparable phone of no 4gs are in stock, usually a 3d
We are legion, for we are many
^^^ what he said .. EOL . means no more support.. just like they are doing the IDEN customers you will have a discounted replacement of equal options..

Means nothing to those who follow the dev community. Especially AOSP users.
My Evo was dead to Sprint the day I rooted it, if we're being accurate.
2 years later, it's still very well supported on XDA, for which I'm very glad. I'm in no hurry to replace it.
