Polldaddy.. really? That poll site can easily exploited and rig votes. I won't say how though. Even though "MacGuy2006" is a mac guy, he speaks the truth in regards to the poll being meaningless.
Seems meaningless to me. Palm pre beat Nexus One which beat the iPhone 3GS. Xperia X10 beat the Desire. Wtf?

Count me in for a SGS vote. I love my phone. Since I got this thing, doing the typical showing it off when I get a chance and have converted 6 iPhone users to android.
Got my vote in for that beautiful Galaxy S.
Overall the voting is just meaningless. If anything, it should be a legitmate voting process with email confirmation with IP based on mobile operating systems. All these phones are Android, who cares if they beat another Android phone? The real competitor is iOS.

I've converted 3 people over to Galaxy S, one from Sprint's Palm Pre the other from Verizon's BlackBerry Storm. The other was already on T-Mobile so not much convincing there.

Point proven Guess I'll just say it... the exploit is that Polldaddy saves the data that you voted already in a cookie. So if you cleared your cookies then you can simply revote.
That's why I find this vote to be a joke if its primary voting system is Polldaddy.

Very interesting. Still wouldn't buy an iPhone though.
1) I don't support Apple and it's business thinking
2) Android is better IMO
I wouldn't buy an iPhone either, but this Froyo debacle with Samsung is really making me respect their update model (and miss Palm/HP's update model for the Pre). Android has some serious catching up to do in that department.
Sprint removed the link ...but here is another link with more info:

Maybe Sprint doesn't want to get into a war with Verizon. If they bash the Iphone, Verizon may come back with ads not only promoting the Iphone but also pointing out that they have the Iphone and high end Andoird phones. That could leave Sprint in a tough spot.

This is closer to what I think the issue is. Personally, I seriously doubt that Sprint will ever get the iPhone (who knows, though, money talks) and that the only reason they could say that about it previously was because of AT&T's network. Maybe now that it's going to be on Verizon, it will actually work as Apple wanted it to in the first place. /shrug
Maybe Sprint expects people to unlock it and bring it to Sprint's CDMA network...maybe because Sprint rents towers from Verizon it's against the contract to bad-mouth partner devices.
Speculate, speculate, speculate.
Never go iphone att fangai. I refuse.

Sure...
I spoke to sprint advanced tech support and he hinted that it would be a Sprint iPhone, though he admitted he would not put money down on that.
It will NOT be a Sprint iPhone. if it is I will cancel my service with them immediately for two reasons.
1. An IPhone for Sprint = not an industry first (people aren't seeming to grasp this one, though its not necessarily your prediction just what a rep said)
2. The iPhone 4 is already a device that is on the brink of obsolete. In a world where dual cores and 4g are becoming standard, the people buying iPhone for Verizon are asking to get left behind. If Sprint, who has been doing a great job of staying ahead of the game, decides that taking two steps back and calling it an "industry first" is a wise new game plan, I may as well throw in the towel.
Remember, a vast majority of sales reps, really don't know what they are even talking about.

May have been slight exaggeration... but, innovation and making that tiny effort to stay ahead is the main reason I go with sprint. The fact being that the company has been doing a great job leading the game without being the biggest in sales or subscribers would make all this fuss over an obsolete phone, instead of putting that money to better uses, would definitely make me question if I should go to Verizon or ATT for their soon to be superior phones (atrix, bionic, thunderbolt) if that makes sense.
It would be a huge letdown to me if all this hubbub was over a phone two other carriers have.
I really don't think the announcement is going to be the Iphone. I doubt Sprint will even get Iphone on there service until the Iphone 5 is out with 4G and a dual core. Anyway this thread was meant to be a joke. See, the OP said that Sprint's big announcement will be that the Steelers won the Super Bowl, which would not be making the impossible, possible. I hope the Packers win just because they beat my Eagles and the Eagles actually should have won since they lost by 5 and the Pro Bowl field goal kicker missed 2 FG which would have been 6 points and the win. I guess I could take a little more pride in losing by so little to the eventual SB champs.
I highly doubt Sprint is going to spend the money to get the Iphone on their service. Just Google how much Verizon will spend on Iphone. If Sprint does just expect some serious rate hikes on your next plan.

Odds are, if anyone in the public REALLY knew? EVERYONE in the public would know. It's called a leak champ. haha.

Agreed, I'm not due for an upgrade till August, but it would be nice to have options. I wonder if the uncertain future of WiMax has anything to do with Sprints reluctance to showcase more high end devices?

i was wondering the same thing... time will tell i guess.
They are saving all their money to advertise Evo 2 in June..typical sprint move...
I doubt they will release anything decent before then in fear of it hurting their Evo2 sales (sometimes it makes me feel sprint sells phones and not contracts :/ )
If I had to guess, they are probably going to announce all of their phones at CTIA in march. That is where they announced the EVO isn't it? They are probably doing it there because no one else does it there and they want all of the attention on them. Either that or Sprint is WAY behind in the smartphone business.

Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
