This isn't a performance... thing. We all know the prime will be the best handset to date. But I was wondering what some of you are personally waiting for. I heard October for the prime. September for the sgs2. Pretty close. I think ill wait for the prime. My wish cane true and Sammy is making it. That 720p screen... amoled :drool: I don't care if its pentile. My epic is pentile and I personally don't have a problem with it whatsoever. I'm excited for the fall

i really want the Nexus Prime but a 4.5 inch screen is too big for my taste. I wish they stucked with 4.0. Then again this is all speculations, who knows, maybe my dream will come true and it will be 4.0 lol

My upgrade is July. What would you do? Worst is I turn Gold then.
ehh im gonna wait for prime. i see nooooo point in getting a phone when ice cream is right around the corner. ive already learned the hard way about dealing with updates from sammy once =/ lol ... and for those talking about the screen size, you also have to take into account that there are NO physical buttons on it. everything is on screen. so even though its a bigger screen it might not actually 'seem' like its bigger. if that makes any sense lol

I hope it does go to sprint in fact all the carriers but when I asked the guy at radio
shack he told me it was going to Verizon! then i'm reading that Verizon isn't getting the s2 if this is the case then most likely its cuz they getting the prime! Also if the prime doesn't come to sprint then I'll just wait until the galaxy s3 which is in the works & will be out in 2012 that thing is going to be a BEAST!!

The best part about not being 2 year upgrade eligible yet is that I can wait. So far there is no indication sprint will get the prime, but sprint is googles bff of US carriers so you would think it would land here at some point.
Radioshack? Those people are idiots. Trust me I worked for them for 3 years there's no way they would know that. As far as the prime goes think about it.. what carrier has the nexus been most popular on? The nexus one was on tmo. The nexus s... tmo. Then sprint. With at&t being the final carrier to have it. I HIGHLY doubt Verizon is going to be the only one with it, or if they're getting it at all. It just doesn't make sense to me. Plus, **** Verizon.

This rant is for all the evo enthusiasts! I am not going to debate anyone about any particular phone because I could care less.. don't even care about your thoughts on Sprints service; I love it by the way.
I wake up and turn over and there she is, always right beside me. Sometimes in between me and my wife but I love her! She has so many different costumes: ROMs, that I change them like I change my work socks. Every couple days, lol...

I agree Craig. My wife, unfortunately, is still lamenting the day I started hacking my vogue, and it got ten times worse when the Evo came. No phone jealousy yet for me either, still quite pleased with my Evo.

I don't care about specs or quadrant scores, I only love my phone for the same reason I love my wife: it was made for me.
Again I am sorry you wanted to pick a fight but I have learned that those of you who want to argue typically just want some attention, and all of my attention is between my wife and phone at the moment. Sorry

Sent from my HTC Supersonic using the XDA app. -Electronic, Supersonic-
The primary reason I love my Evo so much is the developer support. Next to the Nexus One, this phone has got to have the most custom development going on for it. CyanogenMod, MIUI, Honeycomb (pre-alpha, but it still exists), etc. Sure, some of the newer phones like the Motorola Atrix or the upcoming Galaxy S II handily defeat the Evo in terms of specs, but you can't completely modify the software on those devices to meet your needs.
HTC made a smart decision by leaving this device completely open to development. Because of that, we'll still be ahead of the curve much sooner than these new superphones.
Now, if the Evo 2 is announced sometime soon, then that's another issue entirely .
Were you referring the "need help" comment to me? And I don't make love to my phone... lol... that would be cheating, on my wife.. ha ha ha

i have to use my upgrade or i loose it in two days. would the evo shift be a huge downgrade to my evo? im asking because there are no other worthy upgrades right now on sprint.
i figure ill use the shift until the nexus comes out then sell both evo's for it.
Hell no! Unless you think screen size is a downgrade which it isn't.. same type just smaller. The processor is better then evo.. kb sucks tho.you can Oc to 1.5 stable .sexy
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
If you're just going to sell it, you could always upgrade, then reactivate your Evo and put Shift back in the box and keep it in mint condition so you get the most money.

I bought one for a friend of mine and helped him root/rom it. I actually loved the keyboard, felt great to me. In fact, I haven't used many slide out KB phones, but the only one I've used better than it is on my Arrive.
Which brings up the point, why not grab an Arrive Fixx? I've had tons of fun with mine so far, and you'd have the best of both worlds OS wise.

ive heard wp7 becomes very boring, very fast though. probably because it's still a baby.

Can't you use the upgrade online and let them send it to you? Then you can just not activate it and re-sell it?
I am strongly strongly considering the Nexus S myself. With all the rumors of HTC locking their phones down .. I think I'm going to move on to nothing but pure google phones.

Looks like the HTC Evo 4G will have Gingerbread:

Samsung Epic 4G still working on Gingerbread:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EE19.rdf
Who will get it first?
they will. not shocking concidering its their "flagship phone"
If the EVO does not get GB first, the EVO's owners will howl, and it will be a major coopr for Samsung, considering the EVO was out MONTHS before the Epic
Typo! Epic still has a good chance!
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-now-touting-evo-4g-android-23
of course they will.... everyone knows the Epic is their ginger step child...
We all know whats going to happen: HTC EVO will get it before Epic 4G, this is going to be the story for Epic users all over the place.
Ah, and once they release the official update, they are going to pull it and just forget about it, just like they've done the last 2 times.
Did anyone see the article was updated?

the respective release dates from over a year ago are essentially irrelevant to current updates.
I think the Evo guys are gonna be pissed if we get it first. I had both phones, but I hope the Epic gets it first, cause it deserves it after all the BS with 2.2
no seriously... EVO is pretty much taken care of... they have CM7 do they not, so they are skipping the stock GB part...? I think the ONLY reason we are getting GB is because of the FroYo disaster... so if they get their panties in a bunch... well thats entitlement issues... then we can see who is investing in quality hardware (Epic) and who tried to by the most expensive, unnecessarily hard to get, cellular penis.
OK, tried to be nice.... Ive got nothing against EVO owners in general, nor the phone or even HTC... Im disappointed with Sprint for only giving a crap about that thing and nothing else.... I really think HTC pulled a microsoft gaming and bought their way into being seen as the best.
You people are divas....
Everything isn't a conspiracy nor are all manufacturers out to screw you. Things happen...mistakes occur....updates are delayed as a result. We'll either get it or we won't. The issue with Android is that its the first of its kind...its an OS in the hands of several manufacturers and it gets updates fairly regularly. iOS is one one manufacturer...Apple. Its easy for them to keep devices current. RIM is Blackberry...they can focus on theirs. Windows isnt as widespread nor do updates come out as regularly. Android is everywhere. It's not easy to stay current. End all this entitlement crap you people have got. Purchasing a device expecting it to stay relevant and current is retarded. I'm glad we got froyo...ill be happy if we get GB but I won't lose sleep....don't expect anything past that. But I've got my Nexus S and hopefully that will ride as far as the hardware will allow.

Oh so you agree that cutting out the influence of manufacturers/carriers will help reduce clusterfux and make things easier, hence your recent purchase of a Nexus S?? It would appear you weren't happy with the update issue as well, as thats really the only good reason to get a nexus s when you already have an epic, no?

as much as i dislike the whole 3d trend, i would recommend looking into what it takes to flash and customize a samsung phone. i hear it is not an easy or fun thing to do.
as long as htc sticks to their word, i'm going with the evo 3d and will just never use the 3d.
It's sitting in the custom rom forum...

I'm gonna wait for the Nexus 3 on Sprint. The EVO 3D will have a locked boot loader and I would prefer not to use a Sammie.
Besides we have Gingerbread. It's called CM7.

No it won't. All of the shouting that led to htc unlocking their bootloaders was overwhelmingly over the evo 3d. It will certainly be unlocked.

You really think they will unbox every EVO 3D and update the software?
No offence but are you ****ing kidding me we are still discussing the idea that the 3D will have an encrypted bootloader?
Jesus tap dancing christ
The whole ****ing stink was in response to the 3D being encrypted.
ITS GOING TO BE UNLOCKED VIA AN OTA UPDATE IF NOT BEFORE ITS RELEASED.
Sorry that something positive happened in life and you can't accept it.

Well I jumped ship and got myself a EVO 3d. Made sense to upgrade this phone for only 50 bucks out of pocket.
Was able to give them back my EVO 4g for 150 bucks and I had an upgrade and only paid a grand total of 49.99 plus taxes!
Thanks everyone for the help with my EVO 4g. I even traded in my phone with the Synergy Root still in effect lol
I still can't validate giving up root/AOSP to get an upgrade.
I'd rather wait the little while and see what my options are.
Hope it turns out well for you though, you definitely bought it for a nice price.
Guess you won't be getting the Evo2 when it lands..you'll be in a tangled contract with your 3D....doh! Lol

My taptu told me there's a Evo4G+ in Sprint's database.
Could be a possibility.

That phone is for other countries, what was it Korea?
It wouldn't make any sense for Sprint to have two phones the exact same but one doesn't have the 3D (which can be turned off on the phone they do have)
Its more likely there will be an Evo shift 2 and another Evo in summer '12.
lol @ thread title.

This is exactly what I keep thinking when people keeping bringing up the EVO4G+, first of all, it makes almost absolutely no sense that Sprint would bring a phone so similar to the 3D to market.
Second of all, why not just get the EVO3D if you want to upgrade? Just because the camera is 8 megapixels on the EVO4G+ does not mean it will be better in the least. It will likely lead to photos with more noise, if anything.
Is the 3D screen really that much a detractor? Do people not realize that viewing 3D content is entirely voluntary and optional?
These EVO4G+ misconceptions really need to die.

Like I said in the "my take on the 3d" thread below....I think that 99% of the complaints about it are because "3D" is in the name.
If it was called the Evo 2 and still had the 3D option people wouldn't be saying the crap they do now.

So, the evo is still a good buy then? I'm confused.
The EVO is a great buy at $99. I bought it last year and now have the 3D. With everything that can be done through rooting it runs like a champ and dev community is still supporting it fully.

well if 4 > 3 and G > D then wouldnt the evo 4G technically be superior to the evo 3D?
I get upgrades every year so it doesn't matter to me whats coming out next. I have multiple phones on my account too.
My main reason was the battery life, I have heard and read it is way better than the Evo 4g which I can already tell it is.
IMO the evo 3d is superior to the evo 4g there both 4g phones. And yes the Evo 4g is still a good buy espcially for 99.99 Give it some time and the developers will get some awesome roms and mods out for the 3D.

I honestly just think it's aesthetically unappealing. The lack of a kickstand is also a downgrade to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone as is, but just not worth an upgrade imo. All it has to offer that the OG EVO can't do is 3d.

The EVO is a great buy. There are two types of people buying the EVO 3d.
1. People who are falling for the gimmicky 3d feature.
and
2. People who just want bleeding edge technology.
As of right now and for at least another year, there isn't a thing the OG Evo can't do.
It has one of the largest dev support and is overall just a great phone. I'd however try to get the EVO off contract because in another year or so there's probably going to be something legitimately worth an upgrade.
