Hmmm...the true successor to the Evo 4g??
Read about it here...
http://androidcommunity.com/htcsense-com-listing-a-evo-4g-and-inspire-hd-20110708/
Then commence with the speculation...
*Edit* Cancel that...seems the hardware is basically a Sensation / Evo 3D (without the 3D). Still rumors as to it's release in the US tho...ya never know. (Yes...I could have googled it for more info originally, color me tired. Effin Trolls)
old info i think the rider is the 4g+ this is old from may june!

Exactly, not made for the u.s.
It would serve no purpose to have another phone that is the same without the 3D function (which can be turned off)
I love my og evo but if that phone came out in would probably upgrade

That seems a bit extreme. I never read one article on the Rider that failed to mention that it was only for Korea. They all said that from the beginning, at least when speculation started to rise after the 3D was launched.

i try to not waste my money on stuff i don't use. *cough* 3D ... so i doubt people wanna hear now go upgrade if the yare looking at this post.
I still don't see a phone on sprints line up i'd upgrade to from my evo... Some may be faster or better screens but i think the evo has the best design and functionality that most phones lose with the gimmicks they add such as 3d, slide out keyboards with a buncha extra keys and so on.
I'd assume thats why most people have looked at this thread I'll let 3D users be happy with there phone but a phone that is much like HTC sensation would be perfect. Hell i've considered it if i didn't wanna lose my coverage (In MY area at least) and unlimited data. honestly a hardware update of the "OG evo" is perfect. lets see this come to the states
Agreed...I bought the 3D at launch, and returned it 3 days later. Just not worth it. The hardware specs are decent, but the dual-core cpu hasn't been utilized enough to make it worthy. The camera takes up way too much real-estate on the back of the phone, was always touching it while holding normally. The 3D stuffs just gives you a headache with prolonged usage.

Talked with a Motorola rep yesterday...the Photon may be out as early as the end of the month. Doubt it'll have unlocked bootloader...and I can't stand Blur, but the hardware looks good. Basically an Atrix with 4.3 QhD screen / resolution.

****ty 3D?!?! You should read up pal. Only the camera toggles 3d and you can watch 3d movies. Its totally optional. And the camera is much better. The 4g+ is the same thing minus 3d. Find another reason to hate because that one doesnt fly around here buddy.
If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.

Man you are simple minded. You say you would take a sensation bit wouldn't buy an EVO 3D..... its the same damn phone with the option of 3D. Why would you not take a free option? It doesn't hurt or effect the phone in any negitive way.

Yes, but you still stuck with that camera button scraping the chit outta your finger (yes, I know...some cases will cover it) and an overlarge camera bezel that's just in the way. Not to mention the poor placement of charge port (tho it works nicely with a dock).
The 3D is a great device...don't get me wrong, the innards are A+.

Dude...camera button has a lot of uses. I'd rather have that any day than have to search for an app.
It's one of the few things I like more about the Epic.
Forgive me, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything personally, it seems like people are just trying to find a complaint about a phone that has nothing to complain about.

Excuse me for having an opinion and then also making an observation that I even said wasn't directed at him.
A lot of these complaints seem to stem from the 3D function which is easily turned off.

Like what i did in the title there? 2pro, anyways
Been following everyone going from HeroC to Evo shift. did loads of research as im picky about my phone. just took the plunge 2 hours ago and has not looked back!! i almost dont want to root it cause its already fast as F*$%
so point being: thank you to all the XDA devs and mods, and everyone else that points in there 2 cents and effort.
look forward to messing with this bad boy
If i can add to this thread. After reading specs i was going to get an epic. But after reading almost everything here im getting a shift. I havent seen one bad comment on it yet!! Thank you everyone on here!!

I'm sure I bad mouthed it initially, but I'm anal about my phones. Let's just say it has started to grow on me. The future looks bright
It's really a great phone, especially coming from a Heroc. Heck, I barely use the keyboard cuz' I have gotten used to "swyping"
...and the phone is smooth, fast, and all that jazz.
Is swype preinstalled on the shift?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
It isn't, but but the Swype beta was open last time I checked so go apply!
My only gripe is the screen size seems so small.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

The BB Playbook will run android apps.... I'm so getting one that thing is sexy
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...k-to-run-Android-apps/articleshow/7473802.cms
RIM plans to integrate the technology with the PlayBook operating system, giving customers access to Android's more than 130,000 apps, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the effort isn't public. RIM, after looking outside the company, is developing the software internally and may have it ready in the second half, two people said.

What makes you say RIMs OS is horrible? The new QNX based OS looks great. It's funny that you are a WebOS fan, and wouldn't be interested in the PlayBook. They are extremely similar in terms of UI.
I've only read great things about their new OS. If you have some articles saying otherwise, I'd be very interested to see it.

There is a port that has been put alot of time into and needs the handy work of some talented devs that can get this going and finished in the right direction. The Droid X port. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134997 )
Camera is literally a second away from getting to work and other then that that WiFi is the only thing not working to my knowledge. me and a bunch of other members have been trying to keep the thread alive and checking in everyday to see how the progress was and at first it wasn't doing anything and no one was even bothering cause of it being motoblur and doubted it could ever work/
But then team Xron came in and literally brought this port from nothing to pretty damn usable. They fixed the screen tearing, the hw acceleration and the sound. All that is working right now and only thing that needs a touch up from a dev is the Wifi. Fix that and this can be one badass mother effin Port. Can't wait for this to get finished up and everyone can enjoy it because its really that good.
All i know is that Chubbz is still working on it but Swamp Goblin has given up and thinks this is as far as the rom will go, but i don't believe that. no pun intended but he got the evo 3d now and is off to bigger and better things lol
So im asking if anyone out their, dont even have to be a Myn or Virus but someone that can put some little more progress in this and it will be finished and ready to boot up for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks for hearing me out and hopefully word gets out to the right ears and they would want to lend a hand. i know it can be done.
May the force be with you all
Quick question.....I'm a long time Android user and rooter and I remember back ineligible the G1 and MyTouch 3G days there was a motoblur port and pretty much everything was running including cams and wifi.....do you think you guys can look into those roms and see what those devs did to get it working?? I mean it may be worth a shot......

Light years ahead of the WP7 port....not bashing either I would love to see wp7 work out on the Evo especially since its going to be retired from sprints lineup soon.....but of course porting an android rom with a skin on top of it to a device already running android is easier than porting a whole different OS.....
The wp7 is vaporware its like the webos port....light years away LOL. You'd probably see an iOS port before wp7. I still have my evo id love to check out this droid x port.

Oh wow!! ATT breaks their trend of keyboardless phones. Think I might switch when I my contract is up as that was the major thing keeping me.
I know another friend will be happy to get rid of his keyboardless phone.
Hoping this confirms the Sprint model does NOT have a keyboard. It was unusable on the Epic, forcing me to learn to use the onscreen keyboard which I now find I can use much faster than a hardware keyboard, making the extra bulk pointless for me.

Same here... a smartphone without a real keyboard just isn't a smartphone in my book.
Best rated comment from the site: "If you're just texting or IMing your friends then a virtual keyboard is fine. But virtual keyboards still make too many mistakes with autocorrect if you're using any kind of business specific terminology, especially science and engineering. Plus, the slide out keyboard lets you still have the whole screen available and not only 50-60% that's left after the virtual keyboard takes up its space. That way I don't have to do nearly as much scrolling for long emails or editing word documents."

Man I hope they release a HW KB S2 for Sprint.
Sprint is rumored to EOL the Epic in Oct, so they dam well better have a replacement by that time, or they will have another pissed off customer!

I would agree with that if the keyboard wasn't as dreadful as the one on the Epic. It skips half the characters I type. That makes it essentially useless for me. Yes, it's definitely still useful for typing in odd things that autocorrect fights you on, but if I half to type at a quarter of my usual speed to do so, I'm not sure it's saved me ANY time. I'd rather see onscreen keyboards simply have a switch to turn off autocorrect on the fly.
Trust me, I was the BIGGEST hardware keyboard fanatic for years. I would not consider any phone without, and I was genuinely angry when every cool, high-tech phone skipped them. I was understandably excessively happy when Sprint's variation of the then-fastest phone on the market had a keyboard. But the reality of said keyboard was so disappointing that I was forced to learn to use onscreen keyboards and I've been happier for it. When the keyboard fixes for Froyo were released on the developer boards last year I was shocked to find how much slower I was typing on the hardware keyboard than I had become accustomed to on the screen. So I've moved on, and don't want the extra bulk I'll never used.
Now if that bulk was instead used for a bigger BATTERY I certainly wouldn't complain...

That's possible. They should probably call it something different than the S2 since its got a keyboard. Epic has identical specs as far as other Galaxy S phones besides the keyboard.

not really, I can do what I need to do with my Evo without it being rooted. Of course rooting is a plus and I would love to have it, but I don't need it. The most important thing I used root for was wifi tethering anyways, and I have been able to bode well with the EasyTether app until I get root, although it doesn't support PPTP VPN for whatever reason...
The bloatware is just pissing me off! All the stupid apps that run in the background that you can't kill. HTC and Sprint are gay for locking the phone down.

I really hate that you created a thread to make this largely nonsensical and inane comment, but I'll bite and ask what you think that you're missing out on without the ability to root? It is still a fully-functional smartphone, albeit with a little bloatware and Sense. You can still surf the web, check email, install apps, etc.
Think of your phone as vanilla ice cream. Good, dependable, and you know what you're getting every time. Rooting offers different, sometimes exotic flavors. Some are good, some aren't so good; some are dependable and offer enhanced or at least similar experiences, whereas some just leave a bad taste in your mouth. In the end, though, it's all ice cream. So eat it.
do you even know how much it costs to replace a window? consider the fact that you would likely be without a phone due to the impact of the phone going through the glass and making contact with hard surface again resulting in you having to spend even more money on another replacement. even worse is if the phone actually landed into your neighbors fenced yard. not only would you have lost a window, but your neighbor would have your phone in refurb-condition because it landed in his soft, lush, well-taken-care-of lawn.
nope, never considered throwing it out of one my windows. that's pretty brainless.
Pretty well put good point I love how you .put that all together is there anyway to delete this post?
