You can bet it won't have 4G speeds though.
they better hope its not plauged with all the sh*t our phones were supposedly plagued with... funny thing.. I have yet to suffer any of the things people were saying. I get good battery life, no screen separation, no cracked button, blown speaker .. or had it stolen LOL all on hardware 002

I'd give up 4G that I can't get where I live anyway, if they'd give back the $10/mo I have to pay.
I wanted this phone mostly for the 4.3" screen. The 4G isn't all that important to me.

I would actually bet money that that is their first LTE phone. They're supposed to be releasing a LTE aka 4G phone this November, this might be it.
I kinda want to go steal me one right now..
Once you get 4g you will never want to be without it. I am getting 3mb - 11mb everywhere and I am amazed at the speed difference in all apps.
This is exactly the evo with a bigger kickstand (which I would love a bigger kickstand, one that can support it in portrait mode would be killer)

If it is LTE ready, then I am dumping the Evo... I have been waiting to go back to big red. This way I don't have two separate bills from Sprint and Verizon for me and the wife.

From what I read they're more likely just going to tiered data plans.

When you get the bill, it'll it will be more like a teared data plan.
That phone does look nice! But not nice enough to switch over to the price of their plans! And their crappy service! In my area anyway....
I doubt that's gonna be on verizon. It looks VERY European GSM esque and it has a front facing camera.
Call me crazy, but I don't like it, or at least the back. Gimme simplicity, the back its too busy for me.

If that thing isn't fps locked I don't know whether to feel pissed or vindicated.on one hand if its not locked (and likely identical hardware) that proves that (as we already know) that HTC was full of ****...onthe other hand ill feel slightly raped.
Watch them ditch the HDMI port and have it unlocked just to avoid the whole mess.

We already know that HTC was full of ****. There are plenty of kernels available with unlocked FPS.
For my Sprint 30 day guarantee. Tomorrow is the last day I can return my Evo and walk away without a termination fee. Im coming from Tmobile and have used just about all their phones and all iphones, and the Evo holds its own. I love the screen size, and its build quality. But the main thing ive liked is the 3g coverage, its no where near as fast as Tmobile in my area, but i do alot of highway driving and get 1mb plus everywhere. With Tmobile once i started getting away from the city it would drop to edge. I guess ill go play with tmobiles new Mytouch 4g and make my decision there. I just sold the g2 i had which i hated, but I still own my Vibrant and iphone 4 so i could always go back.
But so far what I Like:
Screen size!!!!!
Build quality!
Dual Flash
3g Coverage
Development support.
What I dont like:
Super amoled looks wayy better.
3g is slower but still fine (Evo= 1mb+ to Vibrant=5mb downloads)
Graphics Suck. Live wallpaper slows it down, and 3d gaming is barely playable
Sprints Customer service is no where near as good as Tmobiles.
Oh yeah after a talk with sprints retention departmnet, They waived my actication fee, and provided me with a credit of $50 since I mentioned the Evo could be acquired online for $150, just in order to keep my service. And right at the end when I mentioned I would continue to think about it, the rep offered me a $10 credit every month for the rest of the contract (24months). This would kick in on my next billing cycle.
My 27% discount would also kick in next bill, making my total bill $50 plus tax which is still a little more than if id return to tmobile
Kinda hard to argue with those discounts, not a bad deal right there.
But I can't understand how you like AMOLED screens more, YUCK! They always look odd to me, too blue or too vibrant and kind of pixel-y? They are more readable in some situations but still I think they look awful.
Not gonna lie... i really like the new myTouch. I am a fan of sense... also, hspa+ rocks in my area, and gsm is easier on battery than cdma. Add to that our wimax radios... lol, still love my evo though...
Is say they earned your business, man that makes me think I need to complain more..lol
The ten dollars off every month would more then compensate for the cost of the phone its self.

After having the Evo I just dont see how i can ever own anything smaller than a 4.3in screen. Ill more than likely stick with The evo untill sprint or another carrier releases a highend 4.3in that isnt lock down. I do love the phone, just wished it could handle graphics better.
With the discounts im getting and the coolness of the Evo ill probably stick to Sprint for now unless the mytouch4g blows me away, which at 3.8in I dont think it will.
Now the Nexus S/2 could be interesting.
I was happy getting a 23% discount from --removed by mod--
I am also of the opinion that you have way too much time on your hands. For someone who is trying to drive their price down to nothing, you sure have a lot of the more recent phones, that you clearly could have sold to make up for any cost of having a phone in general.
While I am also a former T-mo customer, I gave them my money for 10 years, but honestly I don't think they are offering the best phones this year. As for plans, everyone I know can't touch my 4G speeds. As for customer service, I think Sprint has done a pretty good job with you.
If your just here to get attention, then I'd recommend moving on to the (Insert Next Best Phone Name) forum. The EVO on Sprint 4G clearly is the winner. If you don't have 4G then I can understand your dilemma, but still I highly doubt that you have a T-mo Talk/Text/Data for less than $50. Hell, its probably not less than $70 if your including insurance on your phones.
Good luck.

First off, nothing wrong with having all the latest and greatest phones out, it's by far the best way to find out which phone you personally like best. If I could afford it I'd do it too.
Second, evo is hardly the winner. All phones have their downfalls and can be considered better than others in their own right.
My nexus can be considered better than your evo for a number of reasons.
1. Google owns android. Nexus is google's baby. It is also a developers phone.when android releases froyo, gingerbread, etc. who is the first to get it? Me. Have fun waiting months for yours to update, or for some samsung owners, possibly never.
2. I'm hitting 60 fps, enjoy your 30 fps. You may have a bigger screen but can't fully enjoy it. Playing 3d games on the evo is atrocious.
3. Sprints 4g service had been highly touted this I know. But recent testing done by cnet, which I consider highly reliable and non bias; shows in NY sprints 4g getting 2-3mb whereas tmobiles hspa+ getting 5-6mb and it's not even considered true 4g lol but it doubled sprints. Now of course mileage will very.
Don't get me wrong, evo is a great phone. it's like having a portable theater in your pocket. It took me about three weeks of intense research comparing top phones on all carriers to reach a decision. I was hesitant to get the nexus considering how old it is, released in january. But it still using the same processor as many off the newer phones including evo, the 1ghz snapdragon. Yes your chip has been updated but mines still faster lol. And I like using a developer phone and getting updates before anyone else. Some may consider updates not that big of deal but froyo increased browser speed up to 30%, not something I'd want to wait months for to enjoy.
Oh and I have to say I love the trackball. Comes in handy for selecting text or other tight spots while browsing. I can also have it blink different colors: red for missed text, blue for missed call, green for voicemail, orange for email, purple for low battery, works for notifications as well.
It's nice having all this information without even turning on my phone.
This is officially by far the longest thing I've typed out on my nexus, got to love swype lol.
The nexus one is outdated. No matter what you say. Gingerbread is rumored to come out Nov 11 and its main feature is an integtrated video chat app. Nexi don't have a front facing camera. So right there goggles baby will be handicapped with that feature. I love the nexus a year ago when it came out but data speeds aren't nothing to brag about especially if its a matter of seconds. I think the mytouch 4G is ugly, it has to much bezeling on the side. A trackball is not needed when you have a big a$$ screen. And super amoled screens have been known to burn-in the screens. All the features there's no other phone that has what the evo can offer.
Front facing camera
Kickstand
Unlockable
Sense (which is the next best thing to vanilla)
4g capable
Capacitive buttons
Skinny
Sexy looking phone
Your making a rant in the evo section , in perfectly happy with my evo. Of all the phones I've owned this is by the far the best. With features and functionality in account.

Calm down no need to get your panties in a bunch. Only one ranting is yourself.
Yes the nexus has been out since jan that's already been stated. Thanks for that bit of info. But it still has the same processor as the evo, though an older version. Yet it is still overclocked much faster than your evo.
Front facing camera, unlockable (lol did you really list that?), htc sense (lol? Anyone can flash that), 4g, skinny (hardly, compared to other smart phones it's quiet bulky, hence the pocket theater)... All these features can be found on many phones...front facing camera is over rated I can do without. How many video calls have you made in the past month?
Trackball great for alerts I don't even have to turn on my phone to get notifications.
With that being said, I'm glad you are happy with your evo, enjoy
I actually use the front facing camera a lot. I chat with other evo and iPhone 4 users. Given the ratio its pretty thin. And what's wrong with using the same processor. You want a better processor then go to Samsung galaxy s series. Good luck with the gps on there tho. Humming bird processor blows everyone out of the water. When I mean unlockable I mean the boot loader is not on lock down. And not everyone phone can flash sense, DX or D2 can't. Which are the newer phones comparable to the evo. You were seriously contemplating leaving Sprint to go with t-mobile cause of data speeds in a restricted area. Kinda of ironic cause the only thing that you sound to be proud of on the nexus is the processor speed. Processor speed don't mean **** if you don't got 3G or WiFi connection. Edge sucks on tmo and ill take Sprints 3G even tho I have the same processor as your sexi Nexi.
Scoobasteves: Evo is just as fps unlocked as nexus, that's old news.

Are you in a bad mood man? Geez.
First I never tried driving their price down, I called about possibly porting my number and what the process is. The rep was the one asking questions and was being cool about wanting me to stay. So he offered me a discount.
And yes it's cheaper for me to go back to tmobile even with my 27% sprint discount. We have had a family plan with tmobile for 8 years, so adding my line back would only be $5 and an additional $30 for Internet.
Maybe I do have to much time in my hands, but I've never complained about prices or tried to brag about my phone being the best. I understand there are always new phones coming out and thankfully I have had the ability to try out a lot of them. I just like phones and the evo is among the best I have liked, but far from being a clear cut winner. I'm not one of those guys that think my phone is the best in the world and out down every other phone, i like to try out a lot of different phones if I'm able to, and enjoy it.
I guess I'll just enjoy my Evo and it's awesome screen size.
T-Mobile is a dying company I think, they gotta step up their game. They have lost 25% of revenue compared to last year.

Could be dying, maybe sprint will be dying too but if they keep releasing bad ass phones they should be fine

Yeah I love the Evo probably one of the best phones I have used. I hear people complain that t-mo coverage is not that good in my area so that would be reason alone for me to stick with Sprint.

I was not trying to badger the OP. As a matter of fact I am a former T-mo customer and was very happy with it.
Is the reason your plan a T-mo is cheaper because you are on a family plan there and not a family plan at Sprint? If thats the case then its apples to oranges.
To the Nexus Guy. It was a very good phone and I was seriously considering it when it finally became available on a plan rate. But that didn't happen till AFTER the Evo came out. I was on the phone with T-mo monthly to find out when that would happen. They could never give me an answer. So I took the plunge and got the EVO and never looked back.
T-mo's HSPA in my area is garbage. Seven guys I work (in Tampa) with have the Galaxy, and all of them claim 2-4Mbps. I get regularly 6.5Mbps. It may get better, but it isn't right now.
Processor? Seriously dude? if thats all you got with the Nexus, then you need to sit down. Developers phone? Seriously? Ever heard of Root? Oh yeah... all of T-mo's new phones are getting lock down. FPS? Spend more time on XDA preeze. Sprint unlocked it about 2 months ago. XDA did it even longer.
Nexus is a beautiful thing. But I am sorry, it is inferior to the EVO in about every possible way.
since were leaving sprint next month and going to t-mobile im hoping my wife will allow me to get her some type of budget android phone. although im sure she will want a blackberry again.
myself im looking into getting the g2 or the nexus s.
what will be your next phone after the evo?
As of right now I'm not sure impressed with sprints ces showing. I'm looking in to a dual core phone but I'm in no hurry the evo has plenty of life left in it. But if i was to leave sprint I would get a nexus S
from my phone duh
I really wouldn't take any other phone over the Evo for right now, but if i had to choose it would also be the Nexus S.
I am good with the EVO but I would go with the Nexus S.
I'm sticking with the EVO for a while... I haven't been this satisfied or entertained with a phone for this long, EVER. As technology improves (ie. dual core processing), I will eventually get something new. I'm just not stalking any new phones as of yet. I give myself another 6-12mos, before I really want to try something else... Who knows, my EVO might actually last the length of 2yr my contract.
More than likely one of the Verizon LTE phones. I just read an article where Verizon said they're going to continue offering unlimited data so now I just need to see how they're going to price their LTE plans. Sprint has been good to me but I want to be able to use 4G inside my house if im paying for it.

+1. My next phone must have at least the same size screen and more features, including gpu.
I would be willing to switch carriers, but not manufacturers. My single biggest complaint with the entire industry is the horrible battery life, and non-htc phones are too much trouble to mod...which means less of a community to develop fixes.

Ramiss,
I disagree I think Motorola has such a big user base and development community that it would be a great alternative to HTC. I was honestly considering the droid bionic since I wasnt to impressed with both sprint and tmobiles ces showing I thought that was one of the better phones available because of the network it was on and because of the power it had...
i think the nexus s will be my next upgrade when we switch. the only thing i do not like is no sd card.
jesus, i checked checked out prices at verizon and it's down right outrageous.
id actually be much better off with tmobile, id even save some $$ compared to what i pay sprint.
Got my evo on launch day, so I can upgrade in June. As of right now, I don't see any phone worth upgrading to. I want a phone with at least the same specs as the evo, except for screen size. If there is a phone with great stats, and a smaller screen, I would go to that.
As many of you, the Evo is the best phone I have owned. The only thing that would make it better for me, would be a higher res screen, and dual core. So unless I see a phone with those specs, I'll keep the evo.
HTC thunderbolt. For sure.

I really don't see the need of dual cores in a cell phone, unless you guys plan on playing Need for Speed while the phone is also converting a Blu-ray ISO into AVI format in the background.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
Droid Bionic, but I want something on Sprint.
I've had (literally) everything at this point, and sprint would have to do something colossally stupid to make me give up my evo.
That said, if I went to tmo, right now id go for the nexus ONE. Its a brilliant device, I've not been impressed with the galaxy line from sammy yet.

U might think about the evo shift. I wouldn't want it but if u want a smaller screen then that would be a plus. Even though the processor is 200 mhz slower it manages it better than the evo. The quadrant tests I have seen ran on it are very high. I love my evo too much to leave it yet. I myself am not impressed with the evo shift but the screen is smaller, it is kind of the smaller version of the evo.

I have the original Evo and the new Evo Shift and that little puppy can fly...lol. I'll be elgible for an upgrade this April because I bought one of those Google I/O released Evos off ebay, sold it, then bought another Evo for full retail and i also bought my Evo Shift for full price. Therefore, my contract never changed and I still get to upgrade in April. Therefore, I'm going to wait to see if Sprint has something up their sleeve like an Evo 2 or something. I love Sprint's pricing and customer service and really don't want to leave. But if I have to, I'll probably go with Verizon and get the Motorola Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt.
I bought a Nexus S and that phone was a joke imo. the only good thing is that you're the first to get updates. Other than that the phone is all that. It had too many issues so I sold mine.
I was wanting to upgrade my GSM Hero to the Desire HD, but do not have the cash at the moment.. lol, sooo, my sister is with Sprint, and i was looking at the EVO 4G, and, it seems like the same phone pretty much? I was just wondering what input the wonderful people at XDA have on the EVO? thank you^^
You will get great feedback on it for sure, but how do you have the gsm hero (are you in europe) and trying to get the desire hd?
Anyways the Evo is a desire hd without the new look and without the new sense most of the stuff is the same , and is great device, is the only phone the hold me this long to get another One(I got it back in june 2010 when it came out ) and is the best android device in Sprint at the moment (sorry I hate the epic 4g) if you coming from the hero you will definetely feel it faster and better (specially cause of the processor and the big screen ) and they have offer online to get it at 150$ or maybe less on contract
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I am in the U.S. and i got the GSM Hero unlocked, and was going to do the same for the Desire HD, but.. at around $450.. I decided to have my sister put me on her plan through Sprint so i could get it a lotttt cheaper, I think i read it $199 after the mail-in rebate, so.. $299, and I don't think it is bad and i would have better service than T-Mobile.. -.-; (GSM Hero isn't compatible with their 3G....)
you should look for the EVO online .. can get it even cheaper.
there is a $125 additional credit if you qualify for porting from another carrier. search for the details.
The Evo is a great phone. Giant screen, fast, smooth, efficient, excellent developer support (if you ever want to root your phone and flash stuff), it has 4g, there's a huge selection of good cases and accessories.
The bad?
Battery life
uhm
Battery life
but we're fixing that,
I figured battery life could be fixable with the right ROM etc.. Rooting it a difficult process? My Hero was crazy hard due to it being the first Android phone I touched, haha, and wouldn't the cheapest be through Spring? With the rebate and money off for the contract?

Rooting the Evo is easy as pie.
EDIT: and there's an a phenomenal development community here that is very fast, very active, and very good. The community here in this forum makes the Evo the best phone in the world, IMHO.
Nope Amazon mobile got some good offers and root is easy with unrevoked, and there is guys too, Idk but I find it easy

where you see the $99? lmao, i think i mightttt be a little tipsy, and i was gonna use unrevoked to root my girl's Incredible, but.. it seemed too easy to be true? lmao, and does that go with like, my sister putting me on her plan? lol
For what it's worth, I bought one on launch day and havent regretted it once. Even Sprint's customer service has been remarkable... which surprised me since I used them from 2000-2006 and it was always like dealing with "some guy" working out of the back of an old van...
There are now 5 Evos on our plan.

I was wanting to upgrade my GSM Hero to the Desire HD, but do not have the cash at the moment.. lol, sooo, my sister is with Sprint, and i was looking at the EVO 4G, and, it seems like the same phone pretty much? I was just wondering what input the wonderful people at XDA have on the EVO? thank you^^

The Desire HD is like a second generation EVO. Better display (SLCD), 50% more RAM, faster/more efficient CPU, a significantly better GPU, and way more internal storage.
At this moment it'd be kind of foolish to get a EVO. The newer HTCs are better, and their "real" next generation phones are just a few weeks away from being announced. TBH, the real handicap with the EVO is it's GPU and internal storage.
Well i paid for this month of T-Mobile, so it would be a couple weeks.. and Sprint is the cheapest way for me to get a new phone due to my sister being with them already..
I had the regular hero before the evo. I was happy with both.. Hero was al ittle dated tho.
You likely gonna get a more bias opinion here than anything else... but the EVO is a great phone. Of course it's fast and smooth and all that... but what makes it stand out IMO is the outstanding dev support for it.
The custom roms here range from Sense UI, to aosp like CM, even MIUI. I never tried MIUI but as far as the other roms, most are excellent. Smooth, awesome battery.. Devs constantly updating and making tweaks.
You also have a deep theme/mod section to play around with for the evo. The only knock I can think of is it is starting to slowly become dated.. but that doesn't at all make it a bad phone.

Same here. Got it in June but the phone crapped with bootloop in Jan...called Sprint they shipped the replacement the next day. That's without the TEP...I've had best customer service experience.

What he said...Evo is a nice phone and everything,but it's soon becoming outdated.If i were you i'd wait a few more weeks.
So, here's the situation... My contract is up with Sprint and trying to decide whether to stay or go. If I decide to stay with Sprint will probably go with the EVO 3d, want to stay loyal to the EVO, best phone ever. Or should I have a change of heart and go with something else or even swap out to another carrier? Too many choices.
Q: What would you do and what Phone would you get next???
Well why don't u just wait for the EVO 3d to come out and read the reviews ....if its good the buy it....if jot the go with another phone like the nexus s or maybe a different carrier.
Pick your carrier, pick one that gives you good service for the price and value for where you live. That should always be your number one concern when it comes to a cell phone, not which phone you want.
You need to decide that before you start getting phone recommendations.
I think if you are up for upgrade and your contract also ends soon, like Pao23 said, first make sure you are with a carrier that offers good service. People talk about AT&T being terrible, but I live in North Carolina and the service is about as good as any since Cingular started in this area. Sprint is pretty good where I live, except terrible at my office. If I was out of contract I would change.
In terms of phone I think any of the 1Ghz+ dual core phones are a smart buy. Evo 3D, LG 2x, or even the Atrix. Any of those are going to be like the Evo and not feel old for a while. They will probably get more OS updates. Anything older is going to leave you wanting in a year.
That has been the nice thing about the Evo. The Droid X, Droid 2, Inspire 4G, MyTouch 4G, Atrix, etc. have all come out, but never left me feeling like my phone was old and janky.
Not sure about u but sprint has the best deal I think. I pay 69.99 + 10.00 -23% off for me and +5.00 for sprint to home. So the sprint to home goes to my google voice number and with the google voice app every call I make is free. And like others say at&t stinks I think, I live in MN. And with the new HTC Evo coming out that should make you want to stay lol.
The only other provider to think about would be t mobile unless you want to pay big money. I dont love sprint but I sure got a good deal and the service is great here.

Sorry for OT, but everything good after the Tornados?
I vote either G2x or Evo 3d, but either way I would wait until the 3d comes out to decide.
Like others said, depends on which carrier gets good service where you are.
ATT, iPhone 5.

That would be the last direction I would go.
ATT=No
iPhone 5=No
the Evo is still a great phone. I don't game so I haven't found an app which is slow or that makes me want to upgrade. The Evo has a fantastic dev community and I'm thinking I will wait until I really need to upgrade. The longer you wait, the better the phones that are available.
iphone 5 after an evo? No thanks. The screens tiny.

..but resolution is almost 50% higher... just saying.
I heard the iPhone 5 will have a 4" screen, after Jobs was doggin on phones with larger screens. Anyways im definitely upgrading. I have two upgrades on two lines, so I may get the nexus S then the E3d when that drops. My kids always get my hand me down phones so they are excited also.
My upgrade isn't until next year
I wonder what will be out then lol

Yeah I saw on pulse that they're already in production. If sprint got a 4" iPhone 5 count me in! I'd jump ship.

Stay with the Evo
If Sprint gets an iPhone I'm out of the Android game.
I would wait until a month after the 3D launches and troll the forums for any issues that may come up. Once the excitement settles you'll see threads pop up with flaws and issues.

I voted stay with sprint and keep the Evo. It's still one of the highest rated phones on the market, and the best phone for Sprint (assuming you like sense or don't like slide-outs). Sprint may not have the best coverage but they are so much cheaper than anyone else in the contract game. When the Evo 3D comes out I may trade my Evo in for it, but that depends on the reviews.
I would probably wait unless you wanted to switch carriers. Let the dual cores roll out so can see what's up with them.
Perhaps we will see a dual core nexus
