Sprint to anounce release date of supersonic?

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?

Ay, that we are.

Available this summer.... http://now.sprint.com/evo/?INTCID=CM:AB:20100323:UHP:Masthead:EVOPrelaunch:1000x190

I hope it's not too pricey, this may be what replaces my Vogue.

It's looking like goodbye to SERO...

I remember the days when I actually started the countdown to get my EVO on launch date... damn that was the best phone back then (tech wise).

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.

Nexus S 4G announced for Sprint...

Well, I thought Sprint was going to announce that tomorrow. I wonder if they are going to replace that announcement with the Atrix and Xoom.

Guess this means EVO 3D announcement is around the corner, ha. Odd time to release this, but hey, maybe it won't sell like crap, and show Sprint/Samsung that hey, manufacturer skins are garbage, keep it stock. Well, one can hope...

I think the AT&T - TMobile merger must have triggered this.

Wow this is not going to be an easy choice next upgrade... can't wait for reviews on the 3d
HTC SuperHero Vanilla/Gingerbread 2.3.3 all credit to AOSP

The idea of a "pure Google experience" is very enticing, but if the HTC EVO 3D becomes a reality also, this upgrade I've been sitting on for a couple months goes to HTC. The 2 side by side, I don't think the Nexus brand is enough to persuade me to give Sammy another try.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App

I like the idea of a stock Android phone on Sprint, and sure, it's a overall great phone, but it's still 7-8 month old tech. Sure, the 3D is going to have Sense sadly, but I can't imagine the development scene for that beast being small.

Sure, it will have Sense, but from what I understand, it's upgraded Sense, and with far more horsepower pushing it, it may not be so bad.

I like the nexus S but i want a bigger screen. 4.8 or 5" is what i want. I have a bad feeling the new Evo 3d Will be at least 350$ with contract. I dont know why i could get a nex if i could have a dual core 3d evo for the same price.

Oh, it'll definitely run smooth I'm sure, I just really, really, really dislike basically everything about it's appearance, way it handles certain things (contact stuff and etc), and whatnot. At least there is basically no way there won't be a great development scene for it.
Also, http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/

will they all leave?

i dont start threads, but what the hell.
I was wondering which of the devolopers will be leaveing for the 3D (or else where). I sure some will stay, but all good things come to an end. Thought I would throw this out to be kicked around, so to say.

Im not a Dev but im getting the 3D but also I'm keeping My EVO.

Willing to bet that most will get an Evo 3D.

really good to hear that thought, these Dev's are awsome! they have made my EVO experience rich and full.
Hope to see them all on the other side..

Judging by this thread, looks like we are going to have very good support for development on the 3d side

I'm sure some will continue with the evo also tho.

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Yeah, there will be some jumping ship but if you peak XDA's front page the Evo is the most popular phone on XDA. I tossed the idea around to go with the 3d but I want to see reviews once its released. I would be willing to bet that with the first 3d phone there are going to be bugs like crazy. I know they test a lot but there are bound to be some issues.

cant wait to see what happens with the 3D. im sure everyone wont bail at first but it will happen

unless i can get a 3d for cheap ill pass on it for now and wait for the galaxy s 2 to come. i think the evo has a good 6 months of dev life left in it.

There is a GOD! Best news I heard all day, LOL

Yeah from what I've seen review wise about the galaxy s2 and say...the HTC sensation, the Samsung looks a lot smoother more snappy over all unless you can't live without HTCs UI (i like it personally) then I would go for the GS2 from what I've seen. And I don't think they're going to screw it up and put a keyboard on it this time. (that may change with other versions on down the line though)

EVO is the most popular currently because the 3D is not even out yet. With that being said I'm sure devs will work on multiple phones. Myn works on a few different phones for example.

Where did you get info that the Galaxy is coming out in July? The verizon post was retracted.

Some of the dev.s for the Evo don't even have an Evo. It's not required to own the phone if you're a skilled enough developer. And we definitely have those on board with the evo.

Cool story, bro......

Well ladies and gentleman I did the unthinkable. I was going to hold out for the galaxy s2 but I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the EVO3D. I just want to say thanks to devs, trolls, mods, friends, cool kids, baby mama's and daddies, all the people who accepted the GB OTA especially the one guy who keeps making accounts asking for root, people who helped me, people I helped, people who annoy me, people that love team win, people that despise team win, people that create pointless threads like this one, and anyone else I left out that made these evo forums awesome!!! See you on the other side.....
First impressions: Only having the phone 1 hour I can say right now that the camera button and 2d/3d switch is already driving me insane. I hold my phone with my left hand and my fingers rest on it. I HATE IT, I HATE IT so effin much lol. Other than that the phone is godlike.......

just couldnt wait huh? haha

The camera button bothers you only because you aren't used to it. After you get used to it, if you use the camera, you're gonna love it.
I didn't know you ever had a kickstand to begin with....zing!

The fact that on the evo 3d the charging port/ hdmi port is one in same makes it a no go. At least with evo 4g you can stream Netflix, HBO go and other internet streaming sites while still charging the phone makes it a plus. That phone will be 99 bucks after Christmas.

Being a over the road trucker must truck stops have free high speed wifi. I have a 387 peterbuilt truck with a 32 inch flat screen mounted so streaming movies saves a ton on entertainment. They want 26.99 for a new release DVD... No way.... So for me the evo 4g is where I will be parked for a while and if I do upgrade I will still keep the phone for that purpose ... I think there will be much better phones offered in 2012.

The cool thing with me is that by the time I upgrade in January, the devs will have rocked the 3D and the S2 so I can just step in, "root the *****" and start playing, like i did with the Evo.
Hell, they may have a root for the Evo 2.3.3 by then, too! lol

Same here. I cannot stand Sense. I actually played with an EVO 3D, and comparing it to my rooted, fully decked-out AOSP running phone, honestly it wasn't much faster either.
I'm sure it will be blazing once root is achieved and it has proper support, but my LauncherPro was certainly faster than Sense 3.0, apps loaded about the same speed, the browser pinch to zoom was almost exactly the same.
I'm sure for flash videos and graphics-heavy games it would certainly make a difference, but aside from that, a rooted EVO 4G easily matches the speed of a stock EVO 3D.

[NEW HERE] Coming from Hero and Stopping to Say Hi

Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!

hello. nice to meet you

Welcome aboard. I would like to personally thank you for NOT starting a thread about how to root your phone.

c-had - You're welcome. I do my homework.
I am, HOWEVER, going through withdrawal lol. I was flashing my hero with a new rom daily there for a while. I'm bored haha.

Thanks popper..nice to meet you too

Welcome to the evo. Don't mind the trolls they seem to be in abundance these days. Might make me goto the 3d just for that reason.
As for the voice, I had that problem in a few roms. Idk what the problem was but after installing swiftkeyboard x its working fine on my current daily driver. I can't say it didn't work before becouse I didn't try it.
Salvage asop running like a champ.

Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap. I just came from the here as well and the 3-D was only an option when I heard about the ram and dual core processor, after I messed with it for a while I was over it lol. Welcome man, its a good step in the right direction. The only way I would even consider going with a 3-d phone is once the whole 3-D option either plays out or gets much better.
