I figured since there isn't a topic on this handset yet that I'd go ahead and start one. Android spin is reporting the phone will release on sprint by the end of July. Does anyone have any information on what will be different about the handset other than the radio. I don't see why sprint would give it a different moniker if its the same as the international version.

Whosdaman got an email from his source saying that it would be coming at that date. From what I see WiThin=WiMax+Thin. So, they're marketing two features of the phone(4G and size) with one name. So, that's my guess t the name change.

Nice. It'll have ben out 2-3 months before my upgrade is due, so I doubt I'll get it to turn around and a new phone come out.

it'd probably be cheaper to buy a brand new one from craigslist or ebay than to use your 75 discount and lose atleast a year of your contract agreement
I just upgraded to the epic a month ago lol, looks like I'll have to put a few bucks to the side till its offically released
Posted by some phone named the Epic.
Can't wait to see it come out! I barely got the Epic in March but I wouldn't mind the quick change

I have been sitting on my upgrade since february, preordered the evo 3d, then heard about this phone a few weeks ago. If you look at the specs, this thing blows the evo 3d out of the water. Internal memory is huge and the bench marks are insane. So, it looks like I will be sticking with samsung.
Happy I got my epic brand new in box from a friend for 3bills. I refuse to lock a contract.

Best way to do it. Ill probably sell my epic on Craigslist and but the within on Craigslist or eBay. I hate signing contracts

been sitting on my upgrade since february as well, specifically for the sgs2. i had the moment, intercept, transform, and the epic so i might as well keep her goin samsung style.
So I got my Epic in December. I stupidly locked into a 2 yr contact. I definitely want this phone tho. Even if it means breaking my contract and starting a new one. What's the smartest route to take?

LoL you actually believed it is shipping with 2.1. Its just a really bad cut and paste job.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm quite sure they've just never updated the description from when it first shipped. It initially was a 2.1 phone. It'll come with 2.2 if you're lucky, but most likely 2.3. Any phone with 2.1 on it would have been sitting on the shelf since the first few months the phone was released, and with the availability issues the phone had in the first several months, there's no way. It's just old copy on the web site.

I was just putting the information out there. There was a walmart about 5 miles out from me that had some. Sure they could all be 2.3.3 phones but at the same time it is possible they havent had the update. Plus walmarts return policy would allow you to "search" through a few phones to see if you couldnt find one with s-off or no 2.3.3
just putting information out there. No need to flame.

Same thing happened to me, this must be some sort of scam by Walmart.
First tried walmart, staples and radioshack without success (there's no best buy here). Then I finally got two of them after searching online. The website crashed so I called their 1-800 number and waited on hold for two hours but finally got them lol. They're working on porting Android to them so its a damn good deal for the tablets. Anyone else get them while they're cheap?

I ordered one from bestbuy.com. WebOS sucks for what I might need it for because of the lack of apps and no annotation software. I decided that if they don't have android ported over by the time I get it, it's going on eBay.

visit slickdeals.net, they have a thread for it, and just watch until the next batch of retailers follow suit. newegg still has not dropped, so watch for that. they're a west coast company, so it'll probaboly go live as soon as their workers get back to work.

Are you talking about at Sprint or Best Buy? Also since they are doing away with the Premiere program you will be with that phone for 20 months. It seems like a good phone but just seen a glimpse of the Galaxy III for 2012 and may just wait. Anxious to see what the Devs will do with Gingerbread source code.
Are you going for it?

No I'm not getting it but was curious how they would handle the 75 upgrade as sprint no longer let's you get gold status as of 10-1 as of my talk with them earlier.. I had my eyes on the nexus prime or new quad core phones in 1st 1/4 next year. My 150 upgrade isn't till 8/1/12 btw

EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.
Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.
How are you still able to get a one year up? That ended forever ago didn't think they were doing anymore grandfathering in.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
