You could say the HTC EVO had a good run and still to this day has an advantage over its competition, but now with the arrival of newer and beefier-spec'd phones, the EVO is already one foot in the grave...or is it? Let us be proud of what the EVO gave to us that other phones didn't for months...
1.) America's first WiMax/4G phone - We've enjoyed running a 4G network for 4 or so months before other carriers hopped onboard
2.) first Android phone with front facing camera - it didn't take long for other competitors to have one, IPhone4 for example..but ours was fully functional, no wifi only.
3.) the kickstand - not the first phone with a kickstand. it kickstarted the trend into other HTC phones- Inspire 4G, Thunderbolt. i don't see the competition having kickstands on their phones...or maybe they just don't care about it.
4.) Android OS - what other phones can say they have run Eclair, Froyo and NOW Gingerbread in the span of their lifetime?
5.) the XDA community - the best support from the developers with the most ROMs than any other phone available. there's almost two-hundred roms available according to the list at PPC geeks...although half of those are not supported anymore..but still that is alot of roms...
there are probably more i can't remember. feel free to chime in.
in summary, i'm still keeping my EVO even when i'm gonna replace it soon with something better. nope not going to trade it in or sell it on ebay. love my evo.
This has been the best phone I have ever owned hands down. When I get my 3d, this will be staying in the family. My eldest daughter is just dying for me to give her my evo, so I guess I will.

I just got mine a few months back and I am happy with it. I do not see a need to go EVO 3d though the duel core is tempting I see myself keeping the EVO till they get one to replace the EVO 3d. The EVO the best phone I have used I just hope HTC and sprint keep working on updates for it. Hopfully we will see a new sence version sometime soon.

In July, I will have it for a year. First phone I kept for more than 6 months (not including my old Nokia 8260 from almost a decade ago, which I had for ALMOST a year). I just discovered rooting and flashing ROMs, so honeslty... I'll probably keep it even longer! With all the different ROMs etc... It's almost like a different phone with every flash!
Today, I have used my EVO for one full year. That is the longest I have ever used the same model phone consistently... in my entire life. And it is definitely still not slow.
Only phone that I have had that hasn't felt obsolete after a month. Our Evo has stayed on the front lines for a whole year!! I am a proud owner.

I didn't get mine until last August, but this phone has hands down been the best phone I have ever had! I had a pretty bad track record of only keeping phones for a few months and moving on. 10 months later, I'm still rockin' it, with Sense 3.0, and still loving everything about it!
I've had mine for a little over 2 months now. The reviews from peers were what made me get it then and not wait for the 3D (well and the ? about rooting the 3D)
I love it so much, my wife just got one so we could be the same. It's clearly the best phone I have ever owned.

I've had my EVO since Google I/O last year. I was considering moving to Nexus S 4G but have decided to stick with the EVO due to strong Dev support. CM7 specifically. Also great kernel support and battery with tiamat.
I think I'll stick with the EVO until I/O next year.
I love this phone. If I didn't just get a tablet then I'd be itching for a new phone. Now that I have a tablet though... I hardly tinker with the phone anymore haha.
I got my EVO last summer. As soon as I saw my brothers, I had to have one. I plan on keeping mine for a while. It has been fun flashing roms and using the apps. I am still happy with mine.
Just an fyi the nexus one went eclair-froyo-gingerbread first.
Alas I have much happier with my evo then my nexus

As long as it works, or I can fix it I'll keep it. I still own my first Ham Radio setup(1975). A used Hallicrafters S-38A Receiver(post WWII), and a Heathkit AT-10 transmitter(1950's). I have a stack of tubes, and other parts to keep them running for years to come along with all the other old electronics that I have hanging around. My kids are gonna hate me when I kick.

+1. The Evo 4g proves itself daily as one of, if not the best smartphone on the market. Overall functionality is amazing. I am always learning about new technology and the old Evo still gets **** done. I couldn't buy another phone and get 25 hrs of hard use battery life with all my data, GPS, etc enabled. Full HDMI mirroring. Setcpu...the list doesn't end. Just a really really great phone.
Im waiting until thr end of this year to upgrade to evo 3d or if there is a better phone coming out.

I'm not letting go of this puppy until it decides to kick the bucket, even if I replace it with a new phone and it becomes a WiFi-only device, just like my iPhone 3GS.
Like all my other phones before, just waiting for a real upgrade. But seems like its gonna be awhile longer since the Evo is still top of its class and nothing better in sight.

This is more than a phone, its a personal assistant, no not that kinda personal assistant picking up coffee. I'm locked in for a while and i happen to have caught a Guy trading in a 2.2 evo for a evo 3d... So i gave him $50... This will be my developer phone especially for the ice cream upgrade. I do believe as they move up in dual processors, the apps and games will be one of a kind. At that point the upgrade might important. At least with laptops ungrading ram is nothing but plug n play that you can do by yourself.. you are stuck on the device side of things to keep you on a Ferris wheel of upgrading. I rather sign an agreement with HTC to exclusively use and buy there products and get a deal. This way HTC can already project what consumers want in a phone and what developers would like to see from a software/hardware stand point. Then offer you options of what carriers you can use there device on. What carrier allows unlock devices, better plans etc. #justsaying

I'll be getting the 3D later this year, but even after the fact I'll be hanging on to my 4g for a good long time.
My old Hero has already been "re-purposed" as a full time media player and I expect I'll do the same for the 4g.
No, these phones are way too powerful to trade-in to be sold as a refurbished unit, or worse, just toss into a drawer, once their life as phone has ended.
I was totally going to keep mine... until I dropped it out of a moving Jeep while rock crawling. Needless to say, she didn't survive. Now, I'm in the market for a new phone and cant decide what to get. Nine more days till my upgrade, its exciting.
I almost dropped mine the other day, was juggling my evo and my macbook pro and caught the evo and the macbook took the fall. I LOVE MY EVO

And I came to the conclusion that the Evo 4g is the best phone ever invented. It does everything. I have been rooted and currently left sense due to battery life. Deck 1.2.1 and sz 2.2.1 cfs SBC is the best I have ever run. The Evo offers full HDMI, 4g, great wifi, amazing battery life, I just found out I can connect a wii remote and play my nesoid and mirror any game and play 2 players w my daughter on the big screen. From a capability standpoint I have given up. There is no other phone on the market that offers me these features. Sure. Dual core. I could care less. My old Evo still rocking 1700s quadrant (for those that care) and linpacks 40+. I don't have it maxed out all the time. Lol it just works.

And this, I believe, is why HTC doesn't want to unlock the bootloader. Look at how many people just on this forum have started looking at other phones after they got stuck being unrooted. HTC doesn't want you to love your EVO forever; just until the newer model comes out. The developer community for the Supersonic has been amazing, and breathed a whole new life into the phone long after people were supposed to be getting tired of it.

That's a good point. A friend of mine just got the 3D. He came from a Windows mobile phone. He has been going on and on about it but the stuff that he likes are things that I have had on my rooted EVO for a while. I think his excitement is Android based and not based on that particular phone. I have compared mine and just can find enough reason to switch before I see what the development looks like. My rooted EVO is only a small step behind the stock 3D, IMO.

doesn't mean anything. just that sprint doesn't want it on its shelves anymore in order to sell their new devices.
I'm assuming HTC wants people to upgrade to either the 3D or the Kingdom when it releases as the Hero 4G under Sprint.
Rumor has it that the Kingdom will be a tad cheaper than the 3D. It's basically an Evo with a bigger screen and a worse camera but better hardware specs. It seems like it will be Sprint's new flagship model for some time and will probably be used to tempt all the people that are still happy with their Evo 4Gs out of hiding.
If the Evo 4+ makes it to sprint, that will be the one I am interested in...but only if I can have what I have now. I could only consider it a downgrade to go to a phone that can not do what my current phone does...really not interested if its faster...if it can't do all I have now damn the Evo is nice. I really can't think of another phone that after rooting can do. ALL the things I'm allowed to do due to the amazing development teams
I love my evo 4g
will only upgrade to a phone that's actually superior like 2.0ghz quadcore processer with 16 gig internal, 8 ram with like 1080 resolution screen 8 megapixel camera. 3 megapixel front camera and better gaming than nvidas kal-el chip
But as there aren't going to be any like that for a while I'll stick with what I've got

I don't go for the conspiracy theory that THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO LIKE YOUR PHONE. This is nonsense. The more you like it the more HTC phones you will buy, and the more you will recommend it to friends. The locking seems to be due to carrier pressure, because the carrier pays for the tech support calls when people screw them up when rooting, overclocking, etc. You call HTC with a screwed up phone and they will tell you to call Sprint ;-)
Just yesterday, the Evo3D root came out, and the instructions led many hundreds of people to have to call tech support to get the phone connected to the network again! This is no joke, I was one of those who called. One of the rooters asked the Sprint rep, and he said he had personally gotten close to 70 calls just yesterday with the same "Error 16" issue due to the new root procedure!
Beyond, that, I agree, EVO 4G rules. I got a 3D, and I do not like it as much as the OG.

I have never owned a g2x. I merely made this post because I feel it is the best well rounded phone for all my needs. HDMI mirroring really makes this shine. The wiimote app only gets used occasionally but still very sweet and it works just like I have a damn old school nes haha. It just fits me and HTC locking bootloaders lol. They will eventually get unlocked. Not a big deal. Then we will all forget about the 3 weeks spent with a horribly locked 3d/sensation lmao.
Are you happy with your phone still? Are you waiting for possibly a new LTE phone in 2012? Or just waiting on your upgrade?
Just curious to see what others thinking about their phone. My phone still works great, but being the geek I am. I'm itching for something new. The E4GT looks like a sweet phone, and supposedly there's a fix for the LOS that developers got their hands on.
Waiting for something that would be a real upgrade, so far I've been very happy with my evo, thanks to the devs here. Until sprint releases a LTE device that's killer spec wise, & has some decent development going on, I'll stay with my OG. I've had my evo since it came out, and its totally because the devs here keep my evo fresh & interesting.

They already said the the first LTE phones wouldn't be out until around june / july. Though they will begin the towers in early 2012.

3. waiting for sense 3.5 = Got it
I guess I'm waiting for my contract to be up. Then I will consider something new, but I see no need right now for what I use the phone for. The next best thing isn't always the best IMO...

My upgrade isn't until August 2012. There should be a bunch of new phones released between now and then. The Galaxy Nexus and HTC Edge or other new quad core phones look intriguing, Iphone 5 (probably not I like the personalization options Android has). As long as we get an ICS rom it will feel like we're running the latest phone though, at least for now.
my upgrade isn't until March, so I'm sure a lot of new phones will be out by then. But if I had to pick right now, I'd either get the GS2 or leave Sprint for the Galaxy Nexus
i cant decideeeee, i dont know if i should get iphone or wait for early 2012 to upgrade
i do want GN not sure if sprint will take their time like they did with Nexus S
for now will keep the EVO going since we have great Devs... and recently swtiched prl to verizon and its working great/better so not sure why switch anyway
time will tell

Honestly, it's going to take an awful lot for me to upgrade. There isn't really anything I want to do with a phone that I can't already do with my Evo.
Hardware Acceleration is going to make ICS run really well (even on older hardware), and I expect that the specs in the Evo will allow it to continue on just like a modern phone. Bluetooth, front-facing camera, etc. will continue to make it a contender.
I will be sticking with mine (not counting an accident) for at least another generation until Nexus Next is available, and then consider based on hardware and Android J+.
I would maybe go for that Nexus S (sexy thang). However, there aren't any phones offering me my Death Ray flashlight and kickstand, so...the Evo stays.
I do have 2 bright spots on my screen though, which is annoying.
Im due for upgrade on 2 evos around February. The only thing I really like is the samsung s2..
That phone will probably be 99 but the time end of Feb comes around..
Who knows though, I may just hang tight without a contract..
Waiting for my contract to end. Hopefully network will be working better by then.
I must say this has been my favorite device to play around with that I have in my little arsenal of devices. I got this baby for free from a co-worker when she dropped it in a bowl of water. She was going to donate it and I immediately told her that I would take it. I sure am glad I did. To think about 2 years ago it came out with the specs it has was a breakthrough for Android devices and it still is a really strong almost unbreakable beast. I still use it on a daily basis to watch youtube videos via HDMI. Also the EVO 4g community is great with good peoples. I swear sometimes I think a noob is going be hanged when they ask a question but instead someone respectfully answers them. Great devs, great people, which will make me hold on to this device until this place becomes a ghost town which I don't think will happen anytime soon.
Please share any awesome experiences you guys have had with this device
This is the first and only smart phone I have owned. It has taken me to high levels of enjoyment and understanding. I have dived deep into Android and haven't been held back by my device.
I will say I am not happy with htc's recent trickery with their bootloaders but if they did a nexus device I would be right on it.

this was my first android phone. i was a fan of android before i got it, and definitely knew that my next phone would be an android, so when it came out its specs made me drool. i've had a ton of smartphones since they started coming out. i had dell axims before smartphones, and this phone really is awesome. i mean, i think that pretty much any high end android phone is pretty awesome considering where we were only a few years ago before android was fully mainstream, back when your option was an iphone that couldn't copy and paste text, or a windows mobile phone that would crash when pasting. the one thing that really stands out with the evo for me is the build quality. its not *that* bad. indestructible? oh no... this phone breaks in weird places without even being dropped, like the usb port, power button, etc. but since my last htc product with the touch pro, i didn't trust htc with building anything decent. that phone broke in so many ways it was unimaginable. i was always thinking, what's going to fall off next? so, i've owned the evo for almost 2 years now, and well, i still own it. that says something.
I fell in love with it the second I had it in my hands. Android has been an absolute blast and I love that its continuously being updated and stuff. I have now moved on to the new HTC EVO 4G LTE and use my OG EVO as a tethering device for my computer

I'm not sure if I want to get my hands on the EVO LTE yet. I have been looking at the Galaxy note seems like a pretty neat device to play around with but I do want another slider. I am very partial to my slider devices

I'm upgrading from a Sprint Evo 4G and I'm blown away when I compare the specs of the two phones, regardless of what Samsung throws out in the next few weeks I'm getting the One, HTC build quality just blows me away, my Evo 4G lasted 2 1/2 years or so and the battery charges like new, and the phone is 95 percent mint condition, with the tiniest scratch on the screen from a drunk accident.
Who else is making a drastic upgrade and from what model?

I'm upgrading from a Samsung Vibrant. I would have kept the device because it was actually good enough for me. But I damaged the LCD cable and now it displays red-tinted colors. This, and some previous problems like a (very) scratched screen, SD card slot half-broken, GPS never works, camera lens missing....
Well, I think I need a replacement

I'm upgrading from an iPhone 4 I've had for 2 and a half years so this is big for me, especially since I'm moving over from iOS to android. I can't wait.

I'm definitely gonna love it. While a jailbroken iPhone was fun and all, and still pretty customizable, It will never have the extensible customization android has. Also Android has come a long way since the time i got my iPhone 4. Can't wait to root my device when a root becomes available. Been reading up on all my stuff so i won't be a total noob when I get my HTC One.
I'm coming from the old trusty mytouch 4g. Been having this baby for over 2 years. It's time for an upgrade.

The mytouch4G was my favorite phone next to my s3. Still runs great, after two plus years. Stepdaughter uses it now and she loves it.
This is the 1st HTC phone I have been interested since the Amaze, which the wife has now. I wasn't that big on the Amaze acfually, but was a nice phone hardware wise.
See how it goes after the s4 is launched.

Upgrading from the Nexus One I've been using since April or May 2010. It's gonna make an awesome difference.

Yup, a lot of my friends still don't believe my mytouch is running the same OS as them and in some cases still very much powerful. If it wasn't for the One being announced, I probably would've stuck with it for a few more month maybe another year. But the One sold me.
I bought the amaze for my wife. It's a very good device. It just never got that support it needed. I'm probably one of the few that think the camera is great.

I'm in the same boat as you, also 95% sure I want the One but want to see what Samsung is rolling out first and since I'm in the US I don't have a choice in the matter.
Upgrading from a SGII. Looking forward to a phone that doesn't feel like a kids toy.

Same case here! I went to the town in Liverpool to have a hands-on today. I must say the phone is stunning, and without any doubt captures amazing photos, let alone the extra capabilities to shoot slow-motion videos and sequence shots and the ability to edit them thereafter. Boomsound is not only decent, it is so loud that it could easily fill up a small reading room without any assistance of external speakers. The sound is, of course, crisp and clear.
Ever since the phone is rumoured to release i have been monitoring its progress. Have to regrettably admit that i have never been that hardworking in my studies. HTC One definitely lives up to my expectations, in fact it surpasses them.
Ordered the Silver once i got back. Now I'm dying to get it.
Upgrading from the HTC Incredible S myself, there's nothing actually wrong with the phone, and nothing on the market was even remotely luring me into buying it until I saw the HTC One. I am completely sold on it, never been a fan of GS3 (sure, awesome specs, but I really didn't like the way it handled/felt)
My biggest problem is picking the color, I absolutely adore both black and silver, so I picked the silver out of a coin toss
Upgrading from my HTC sensation. While it served me well, I can't resist the HTC One. Was nowhere near as interested in last year's One-X series...have to say that I'm genuinely excited and counting the days until my pre-order arrives.
DHD all the way! I'll still be keeping it

I will be leaving my trusty 3VO. Though not a huge upgrade, it's still quite the upgrade, and I'm especially liking all I've seen about the upgrade in the camera! I will miss my familiarity, as I changed my digitizer twice and my wife's once, and REALLY miss my lack of volume down button (from the 1st digitizer change)...
I'm coming from my (nearly) 3 year old HTC Desire.... Can't wait! got the black version on pre-order.
Upgrading from MyTouch 4g Slide. It all started when the digitizer got broken into pieces had it replaced then a few weeks it totally shut itself down permanently. Right now am using my HTC Sensation so yeah a big upgrade for me.
