http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/06/sprint-announcing-nexus-s-4g-evo-3d-and-evo-view-tablet-at-cti/

Woohoo hell yeah. U go sprint

wtf...I'm returning my Atrix! Good thing I didn't cancel my Sprint account or sell my Evo

Awesome news~!

i can't wait myself!!

Its on engadget... and androidcentral doesn't have any news on it... lol

2.5 hours is something to hopefully get excited about.
pure speculation on my part but id expect to hear something about
New Android pone
Maybe Pre3?
Galaxy 10, playbook, or the HP tablet
WiMax/LTE news

Sounds promising, but I'm not going to hold my breath for anything until the actual announcement. My EVO isn't even 6 months old yet, but if they come out with something that blows my mind, I'll probably pay retail for a new handset.

Lets go sprint. I've been with sprint since they came into the cell phone world and their service was the worst. Now I am quite glad that I stuck with them for all these years.

damn...16 years?!

Notice that Sprint.com/Nexus redirects to the home page, where if you type something else instead of Nexus it gives you a 404....

Now if only sprint didn't kill my ability to upgrade my damn phone! Guess if it's that amazing I will have to buy it off ebay

Oh man....I'm going to have to get an NS 4G and an Evo 3D. Double fisted phone junky.

I cannot wait to see the actual announcement. The Nexus S is a beautiful phone.

I'm in the same boat...I have had an upgrade since December with nothing to upgrade to...now they are going to release phones and I'm going to have to wait

Nexus s is overrated. Samsung phones are crap I don't care what name they give it. Evo 3d sounds promising.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'm more interested in the Evo, but 3D doesn't do anything for me. Waiting to see what the other improvements are.

hopefully it will run a tegra2 since the only 3d tablet out right now does

Evo3d or nexus

I know this is the Evo forum but I want to ask Evo users like myself what would prefer. Getting updates on time or dual core phone. Again I put it in the Evo forum because I am only interested in your opinion. And please try not to be biased. Thanks

Currently working on trying to get a Nexus S 4G . It seems when I sent my evo in for replacement under warranty Sprint decided to count that as a new phone and set me back 22 months before an upgrade . I found this out when I called about my date since the release is tomorrow . I sent in a dispute about that and the fact my upgrade date got changed after I signed the contract (Hey why the hell not give it a shot) . The nexus S will have direct updates from google and none of the added on bloat other phones are stricken with

Here's my plan. Since beat buy will allow you to return I think 3 phones - I pre ordered an evo 3d but am buying a nexus tomorrow. If i love the nexus, I'll cancel my evo order. If not, I'll still get the evo. If it ends up having an encrypted bootloader or i dont like it as much as the nexus I will probably return/sell/trade it for a nexus or wait for a gs2 announcement.
Tapa tapa tapa

For me, nexus. For a couple reasons, the first is Google updates ice cream sandwich is coming very sooon and rumor is it is bringing hardware acceleration goodness...miui has moved to the nexus s as the main device, and I love miui. Have you used super amoled yet? I love my evo but honestly I want something sleeker and thinner now. The battery life is amazing on the nexus
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

of the 2.. i will get the e3d..
nexus s .. is far out classed by phones coming out this summer.
now.. when the next nexus comes out... that might be a different situation. my upgrade will not be till Dec.. so, we will see.

Epic 4G broke, I have 2 options, need help!

Hey guys, my epic 4g broke recently (hardware issue) and Sprint has offered me 2 options. First, I can wait for the Epic to ship to the nearby store, which will take until Wednesday next week. Second, I can pick up an EVO 3D from them tomorrow morning.
I really like having a keyboard like on the 4g, and I really do like the OLED screen, but the EVO has a decent LCD screen with a nice resolution (960x540) and has a dual core processor. (3D too, I guess, but my guess is I'll only play around with the 3D features)
What would you guys do if you were in my situation?

Never had a 3d but had an evo 4g since launch. The lcd density is nice upgrade but the phone still weighs 170 grams while as ET4G IS only 130 grams and iphone 4s is 140g. And hardware on the ET4G is newer such as the exonos is blazing compared to qualcaom chipsets.

If the Evo is on hboot 1.5, then don't get it if you want root easily. Otherwise, I think it's a worthy upgrade.

O crap. Get the evo and re-sell it then...thatll pay for your next upgrade.

Go for it man. Get the evo3d and if u don't like it sell it and get he epic touch. I have the touch and its the best phone I ever had. Its so fast. Amazing phone.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!

Get the EVO 3D, sell it, then you can buy another Epic 4G for about $150 and pocket the remainder for when your are upgrade eligible and use the money towards your next upgrade.

id take the epic again unless they let you pick a nexus. I went in after my 4th broken epic and they didnt so much as give me a chance to try and get a different handset, but im betting if they let you take an Evo 3d over an Epic they will let you take a nexus S.

No clue why anyone would buy the Epic touch, After what happened with this phone and its update/software issues, even if the epic touch is fast in hardware, i guarentee in 6 months when you are supposed to get your ICS update you will be regretting your purchase. Screw samsung. Only go with nexus.

Want a new phone early? Here's how!

http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/02/sprint-to-offer-early-upgrade-buyout-program/
The article basically explains that if you have had your phone for longer than 9 months, you can "upgrade now" for a slightly higher price. For example, I will have had my Epic for 18 months as of March, meaning I will only have to pay $19 more than the original upgrade fee, and can get a new phone 4 months earlier than what I originally intended to do.
The deal only lasts until April 14 of this year, so if you're willing to spend an extra $20, you can get a new phone today (or next month, assuming you had your phone in September)!

I'm guessing they're trying to empty inventory of epic touch, photon, etc before the summer's new phones hit.

Switching now to new Wi-Max phone seems pointless....I don't see Sprint investing anything in the Wi-Max 4G network any time soon given the whole "network vision" thing.

They are trying to sell out because they have to stop selling wimax phones soon. Basically they are trying to screw everybody over.

They aren't screwing anyone over. Its been stated multiple times that they'll support the wimax network til 2015. They never said they were going to expand it any though, so if you don't have it now, you're SoL. You'll certainly have 4g capabilities until you're due for yet another upgrade to an LTE device

Well to be honest, this "upgrade now" idea doesn't really apply to us. It does, however, apply to people like my dad who was cursed with the Samsung Intercept, and knowing there's a way to upgrade 4 months earlier for only $20 more made him exhilarated.

I can see what you mean but this phone is better than the og evo and it has tons of options as well...I'm with iSaint. The gnex has google support and has pretty decent hardware specs. Besides its omap ... more openess and all newer versions of android are being built on this platform. But the evo has a faster cpu which is said to be faster or as fast as the quadcores. I'm still choosing the gnex and will love every minute of it until next year when I get another early upgrade .

really wish there was a version of the gnex with a hw keyboard.. then i'd be gladly forking over my money.. as it is, unless my epic dies unexpectedly, there won't be any motivation to switch phones just yet..
On a side note, I didn't know i was up for a renewal until i looked at the gnex pre-order, apparently I am.. good to know..

I know... I'm going to miss my hw keyboard SEVERLY but... that juicy 4.65 hd display should be sufficient for me =]. Ill get the s4 when that gets rumoured .

I think anyone who doesn't wait for the dust to settle and see what the Galaxy S III will be like may be having blue balls and gambling with their upgrade ;-) I'm sure the Evo LTE will be a fine phone but think about how awesome the GSIII LTE (aka Epic LTE?) could be, and Sprint's version might just have a keyboard too, and be as slim as the newest Droid.

I'm gonna wait until LTE gets deployed in my area, I believe it's slated for the fall so WiMax will do for me until then.

You have until 5/22 to activate with the $50 Google wallet credit, I will definitely wait until 5/3 to see what GSIII will bring to the table.
Well I guess I have until September before my contract is up anyway, but if I were looking to upgrade now I would at least see what Samsung will bring to the next-gen party.

Well apparently my upgrade line was an air card so I will be getting it in a month still I don't care if new stuff comes out a nexus for 2 years sounds amazing

Just got my text message from Sprint this morning regarding this .... I have 1 line already eligible for upgrade , but I'm holding out 'til later this year when "better" phones should be released ( mythical beast with KB / Epic LTE ? )

I'd rather have the gnex and be the first to taste Jelly Bean before anyone else gets updated. Not to mention having a solid development community, as Nexus devices usually do. If I'm to wait for a device I'd be waiting on the next Nexus, forget everything else. Don't care what has the best hardware. I care what's got good enough hardware for me, works, has good software and gauranteed updates, and a good dev community.
