sadly i think ill be downgrading to the thunderbolt. i picked 1 up on the 6th so i could get unlimited data and unless sprint gets there network fixed by the 20th ill be returning my 3d and view and canceling my other 2 lines. i just cant deal with this 28k data network and there continued broken dates of when it will be resolved.

I'll be upgrading to whatever the cool new phone is hot in 22 months, LOL! Hopefully it will include teleportation and a built-in 3D printer.

keeping my evo 4g for the time being, sprint upgrade isnt due till almost a year from now for me, hopefully HTC will stop being douches by then , if not im jumping ship to another phone make, probably one of those galaxy phones all i know is this latest gingerbread release/fiasco has me really wary about htc now...i hate my evo 4g until i can remove this GB 2.3 pos from it

i will never own another Samsung..have had three and they all were POS's.
Hoping something comes out by Oct that is catches my eye.

Im hoping the blast will become a fone and come to Sprint it seems more like a proper evo 2 than the 3d

Im moving to California in a couple weeks and am curious too see how sprints 4g does cause i dont have it here in New Mexico. If i dont like it i may end up switching to T-mobile. I am in love with the Sensation! But it all depends on speeds right now and network quality.

Galaxy SII probably

I'll stick with the EVO 4G for a long time, until my contract expires next winter.

Forgoing the gimmicky 3D for the sexy curves of the Sensation. Just waiting for it to be permanently rooted... any day now.

More than likely waiting for the Nexus Prime if it's released on Sprint.

probably the Galaxy S II

I'm getting an iPhone if they come to Sprint this Fall. Yes, haters, bring it on.

I'm waiting for the nexus prime as well

Waiting for a decent WP7 device to come to Sprint.

i have no idea, I was certain I was going to upgrade to the evo3d but I wasn't that impressed and got a xoom wifi tablet.
I will probably just keel the evolution until next year

I'm waiting for the nexus prime as well. Hooray for ice cream sandwich!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I just upgraded to the Nexus s 4g. I love this thing, all my future Android phones will be Nexus phones. Just wish Sprint had 4g in San Diego and Twentynine Palms

Well, I would have put my vote toward the Galaxy S II. But when will it ever come Sate side is anyone's guess. Technology moves fast and every day I wait for the GSII is a day closer that something better will come out.
At this point I want to wait for the Nexus 3(Prime). I like the rumored specs, ice cream, and the fact that it will be a developer phone.

FYI, folks...
Gimped or not gimped. That is the question. If it is modified from the original spec's then I may consider getting it over the Evo 3d. I want a SD card slot damnit
Hopefully it has a sd slot and dual core, if not then hopefully at the very least it will help our devs with cm7

what sprint needs is a Nexus Epic 4g, with all feutures the epic has and it should of came out in august, lol
Good news if this is true tho maybe it will be easy to port some of the latest roms if this phone is going to be pure google..
If it hits the shelf next week I'll more than likely get it just to test it out and when the 30 days are coming to a end make the decision to keep it or return it. Or better yet just wait and see if we can port GB over.

Sorry y'all... It's not hitting shelves next week. We were actually told the "date" by a vendor rep, but that is one I'd be afraid of getting fired over revealing. I can tell you this much, from what I was told, it's not this month...
Does the month start with a J?

From what I was told it is going to be soon just not as soon as next week, heck CTIA is next week. No company is going to release a device for sale before any type of announcement.

Forget the Nexus S, look at the EVO 3D:
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...ils-leaked-expect-evo-3d-evo-view-4g-and-xoom
Specs are out of this world!!!!
Agree EVO 3D is where it is at. Actually, Nexus S is now reportedly not even being announced at CTIA now?
NO ! that is still bad news for epic users 8( why not any idea ?
Sprint is riding the Evo name way to much
niiice but i still enjoy my epic

Should I get an Epic 4g Touch?

My wife and I both have Epics. Her phone had a few bad drops and is about to die. Since my upgrade is coming on Dec 1, I'm planning to get a new phone and have her take my Epic.
But what phone should I get? There's unfortunately no better phone with a physical keyboard, so I'm out of luck there. I don't have a good sense for when the Galaxy Nexus is coming to Sprint so I don't want to end up waiting 6 months for it.
Should I just get the Epic Touch?
Thanks for the advice!
I don't think you can go wrong with the torch. But on Jan 10th they will be announcing some stuff... I am Sure a phone and there lte. I would wait until then.

Hard call. My dad and friend have them and they're insanely good, but all the points given before are true as well. Depends on when the phone actually dies, I guess.
Sprint takes forever to actually release the phones they announce. So you'll have at least 4 months from now before anything extraordinary hits the market, probably longer. If that phone has really run it's course, then yeah, just pick up the Touch.
Ridiculous claim ^^^^
Wait out for the announcement at least so you know what to expect. You can always just turn around and get it still, for cheaper maybe. My friend just got the tmobile varient and WOW it felt great to hold I love me big phones. Lol

Like others have said, you should wait. Sprint will be announcing something soon and we who knows, we might get a WiMAX Galaxy Nexus.
i hope they dont ruin a galaxy nexus with jank ass wimax.
I love the touch but the only issue I see is that it has a big problem with LOS (loss of service). I've rooted and flashed several roms on it and nothing seems to help. Besides that it is super smooth and has a screen like no other
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
As a temporary fix, you can find Evo3D's and Nexus S's pretty cheap used these days. Then if you want to hold on to your upgrade until spring 2012 you will have something to play with in the mean time.
Thanks. I think I will get the touch on dec 1. Wish there were good deals for upgraders. I'm going to have best buy price match Amazon's 149 price.

I'd wait a month.
Sprint has a special announcement on January 10th. Most agree it'll probably be the Galaxy Nexus.
The Epic 4G Touch has radio dropout issues. Same crap Samsung support.

What's your next phone going to be? It's been a good run EVO.

I'm a couple weeks away from being eligible for an upgrade with Sprint. I'm sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat as me. What phone are you looking to get next?
The EVO was as easy choice when it came out. There wasn't anything to compete with it other than the iPhone. I don't try to keep up with all the new phones until I am close to an upgrade. There is just too much out there to possibly keep up with.

Probably going HTC arrive. It will be nothing on upgrade next month and want to tinker with a windows phone 7 for a while. Evo will go to my oldest who is running a HTC hero.
If I don't like that then my wife's phone is due in May. I'll swap it out for something else.
Current Android family
HTC evo 4g x 2
HTC evo shift
HTC hero
Motorola Xoom
Viewsonic G-tablet
HP Touchpad (running classic nerd)
So yeah just want to tinker with something new for a while
My upgrade is coming up next month as well. (I suppose a lot of us who got the EVO on/near launch day are)
I've put a lot of thought into it and I think I'm going for the GNex. Unless I find out the GS3 devices are coming soon.
My wife got the white Evo when that launched (about a month after the original Evo) and she's waiting for the Galaxy Journal.
I would like to see Sprint carry the Xperia line, particularly the S model. Looks pretty sweet. Otherwise I would go with another HTC flagship device. I might also consider the Galaxy Nexus.
My upgrade is also in April (another day 1 adopter) I'm waiting for either the Galaxy Journal or the S3 (depending on release date) Definitely want an LTE capable device. Not sure if the Journal is going to fall in that category or not.
I'm eligible in June but I'll wait for the first Sprint LTE phone at the end of this year, so long as the suck-factor is low for it.
Sprint is aware that a lot of the Evo owners are coming off contract. I am betting the Galaxy Nexus will be coming out before we fall off contract to entice renewal.
That's what I will be going with.
whatever the next LTE sprint phone with huge screen+lots of features.. will be.
june, i'll be eligible for an upgrade, so hopefully we get something good by then
Upgrade next month here as well. Currently there is nothing worth upgrading too.
I'm hoping it won't be too long until we see some LTE devices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Couldn't agree more. The Et4g is nice, but I prefer HTC, and et4g has already been out for a bit now. I don't mind waiting to see what comes at all. Satisfied with my Evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Not due til the end of the year, so I'm going for the galaxy S III.
Not eligible till Feb. 2013 there should be plenty of devices to choose from by then.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I'm in the same boat but will wait and see what comes down the line. I got two E4GT phones for my kids and they are incredible. They lay waste to my EVO. Samsung really stepped up their game. I don't know if HTC will be able to compete from here on out since Sammy has fully commited to Android. I've used the Gnex and don't like it as much as the GSII. I really want a phone that has built in image stabilization for video. Other than that the GSII camera kills! Way better than my little Canon P/S.
I'm waiting for the GNex. I don't have choice since it's my dad's lines, but I think ICS is where it's at.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I am considering moving to Verizon for better LTE coverage.
OG EVO
I don't think I will be upgrading next month when my time comes. There is really nothing out IMHO that can still compete with the OG EVO. Meaning the custom roms, tweeks, etc that you can do to the phone. HTC makes a good solid phone and I would definetly have to stay with a HTC line
Not due till July so ill wait it out for the EVOX/jewel haven't heard to many good things from gnex owners
Pleasantly Mad.
I wanted to wait for the Gnex as well, but that 16gb non-expandable storage limitation is killing me. I want to be able to use my 32gb class 10 with my next phone.

Epic 4g upgrade time any suggestions

Hey guys I am still rocking my epic 4g, but have finally got to my upgrade date with sprint. I like the look of the galaxy s 2, but I was really disappointed in samsung in how slow they are to update software. I really don't want to go through that crap again. Htc evo 3d looks good but I heard the batt life is not good. I have even considered the iphone 4s, but the durability is very questionable. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Wait out till Galaxy Nexus or other LTE phones release. Sprint's making to the move to LTE for 4G.
Sent from a CM9 powered Epic.
If you must upgrade now, get the SGS2
If you can wait, get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the SGS3
HTC One X
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Personally I'd wait til the GSIII announcement to make a decision. Or at least til the beginning of next month to make sure you didn't win a Galaxy Nexus (if you're entering the giveaway everyday).
sgs3 to start rolling out next month. http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/21/samsung-china-exec-suggests-galaxy-s-iii-could-land-in-april/ might not see it on sprint that soon but close enough to wait for an update. i am hoping for word of lte note before my june upgrade.
Just a thought as I recently did this and I understand it's not for everyone. I love my Epic so much and don't mind waiting more (hopefully for a qwerty phone) so I bought one of the $199 iPhones online and then sold it on ebay for over $500. This gives me cash and starts the 'ticker' again on my contract etc...
If you are in the first wave or second wave areas for LTE development, wait for the Galaxy Nexus next month. WiMax phones will not work on LTE. If you don't mind a much larger phone wait and see if and when the Galaxy Journal is coming to Sprint....it is nicknamed a Phablet.

Is it really called a Phablet?? Lol
To upgrade right now would be a waste of money. Two months. 1. LTE 2. New Phones start rolling out and you get better options for the long term. 3. LTE 4. The current line up prices will drop even more. Oh and LTE. Lol
Plus EPIC 4G is hoppin right now!!

Yep even the note on att is called a phablet and really to the OP durable and ipod/iphone shouldn't be in the same sentence really cracked screens all day.
Corning Glass has much more durability not to mention the newest Gorilla Glass.
And Sammy may be slow with updates but atleast on most devices they fix em in every update unlike HTC were there are sevral updates constantly in a month because they don't get it right.

The last of a dying breed 2013: When will you submit to the carrier for a new device

With sprint taking pre orders for the iPhone 5 and also including new devices are being sold, when will you give in?
As much as we upgrade the rom to keep up with what's on the newer devices, is becoming quite hard finding a rom that has everything included. There will always be a sacrafice whether its 4g, stable camera etc. Developers have really out done themselves with such great roms but its the evo hardware that drive compatibility issues.
How many will enter 2013 sending a happy new year text from the original evo 4g, or will some of you switch before making that new years Eve toast....
I'm up for an upgrade in November. Looking at moving up to the LTEVO, SGS III or Galaxy Nexus. Probably going to hand my OG EVO down to my son.
Definitely not going to anything that starts with an "i".

I can upgrade right now and I'm thinking about it, but even so, 249 + activation charge is still not cheap
Well my contract ends in April, so probably until then. We'll see what the next best phone will be around then for Sprint.
Get the EVO 4g LTE! I jumped the OG EVO ship and I'm never looking back!

Don't know. Sprint has been slow getting 4G at least here in Los Angeles and I hate paying for 4G and not getting it. My friend's Verizon device simply flies. I know Verizon is a bit more expensive but damn their coverage is superb. According to some study I read online, even metropcs is beating Sprint on 4G. My contract is up in November so just sround the corner. Costco has some good Verizon phones and no activation fees.
I got a good year still left. But with the supposed HTC One X+ coming up, doesn't sound too bad with that tegra quad-core.
I'm always behind on my contract when new phones come out. I end up getting the about a year after they are released Hopefully I will be able to correct this soon, and yea I will probably be getting rid of my evo the first opportunity available
While the OG is getting a little long in the tooth, I still find mine quite useable and flash a new rom from these amazing devs about once a week. When development dries up here, that's when I'll start looking for something else. The gf is jumping ship for the iP5 [rolls eyes] after having her Evo for over 2 years. I feel sorry for people who are still running a stock, non-rooted OG with the Sprint base rom. This phone really shines once it's tweaked and modded a bit.
Holdin' out for the next Nexus and hoping it's a Motorola or HTC build.
I'm almost 6 months past my contract end with Sprint.... And am not looking to switch carriers. With development doing what it is doing...... I don't really feel an urge to jump. I switch back and forth between a few roms... Decks... Classic.... DK's Jackpot..... all of them keep me feeling like I have a brand new phone.
HTC vs SIII ... hmmm.... I'm following the forums here and watching who shows up where.
and while I'm here... Thanks to all the developers who just keep on banging out new tricks and new tweaks. It sure makes it fun.

Shh man just don't use the evo to record an unboxing of your girlfriend's iPhone 5 and put it on youtube...lol
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I jumped ship about 2 weeks ago and got myself an Evo V (Evo 3D) on Virgin Mobile. It's a nice little step up from the OG. The OG was treating me just fine and I would have been content to stay with it longer, but I have some cracks in the housing (around the power and volume buttons of course) and wanted to decrease my monthly bill. I think this new to me but already dated phone will last me for another couple years just fine.
The OG is still going strong though. I just got it an HDMI cable and coupled with my datel retro wireless controller (it's like a wii classic controller with wii remote built in to it) it is enjoying life as a dedicated gaming device now. Ouya!

By this winter we should probably hear of some worthy candidates to replace our OGs but right now nothing is really tempting me. Also, I hate that everything is itching toward 5" screen size. Too big IMO. Just stop it already OEMs!!

honestly what dissuaded me from the iphone the most was the smaller screen. seems trivial to some, and my iFanboy bf thinks my Evo is huge. **** I'd get a Note II if they had it on Sprint, lol. S3 looks frickin sweet, though I shall miss my OG... I'll most likely sell it back to Sprint for a discount on my renewal. Sucks they're only giving about $60 for OG Evo's now "no respect, no respect!!"
as much as i wanted to wait for the iPhone 5, i bailed early and got the SGS3. for those of considering staying HTC; best of luck to you in Brick city.
