so....

if it took about 7 months for the hero to become a "outdated" phone i take it the evo will be considered old by x-mas?

I dun think so. Eco is more high end and hero was very low end compared to other phones when it came out. N1 is still popular and even g1 is pretty popular

depends on what sprint releases next. i got to play with a epic and that lcd blows the evo out of the water. if it weren't for that touchwiz crap and lack of devs id buy one.

I have the epic its really nice but I might switch to the evo

maybe not from sprint, but better devices are just around the corner, i mean look at the desire HD, the Evo just came out, and the second gen snapdragon core with a 3x better GPU is already here...not to mention the Galaxy phones, with their hummingbird cores and super amoleds...

Id say the EVO goes EOL by q2/q3 2011 but there will still be plenty of development going on here for at least few years. I been seeing more EVOs around town lately Im wondering if there's a Walmart selling them cheap.
My upgrade is in March also I hope something phenomenal is out by then.

Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner. Look at the N1 hardware vs. Evo hardware. I mean the processor + ram, not the 'camera'. It will only be a few months until dual core processors and parallel processed apps come through and make the Evo seem slow. For now, its a beast of a king though.

Most exciting phone at ces

I didn't follow CES as much as I wanted to so I'm wondering in your opinions what is the most exciting phone coming in 2011? I just saw specs for the atrix and I'm impressed. I hate at&t but when it cones out on March I might have to go with it. I didn't see where sprint was getting anything. Anybody jumping on the attic in March? Thanks for the responses.

sprint didnt really announce anything but there is a conference from Sprint at the begining of next month with another "industry first". so well see

Yea its a 1.2GHz triple core HTC Device running 2.4 and 2 1080 cameras that also works on sprints "industry first" 5 G network ......and YES u can F*ck iT.

And yeah the atrix is pretty much what I expected the Nexus S to be. Gingerbread had no business being released on a rehashed galaxy s. They shoulda just pushed gingerbread to all n1 owners (which was the point of getting that phone in the first place.) And then got 2.4 out on the NS or whatever nexus it would've been if they would've waited. Perhaps a "Nexus Duo" or something since they didn't want a nexus 2

Do you really want that 2GB data cap? I guess it's okay if you don't use much data, but if you ever do use more than 2GB, be prepared to pay for it.

Yeah I know at&t sucks bad and I will prolly hate it. I just couldn't believe the specs when I saw them. I do use alot of data.

I wasn't aware that the numbers were this low. I would think that this would be something that Google would be concerned with because eventually this could hurt the growth of Android. Marketing is a powerful thing and if Apple and Microsoft are in some way able to get into the heads of the masses. You know how powerful marketing can be even when it's just trying to spread FUD. The company that I work for has BB as the "corporate standard" but because we purchased several other companies in the past year that standard has been loosened a bit because of the high number of iPhone users at the other company. There are only two of us in the IT Department that have Android and with what I see going on I still don't feel comfortable pushing Android. The first time there was an issue I know that my CIO would use it as the reason why we shouldn't use Android and that would be the end of that.

Haha, so true. I remember when I was showing my friend my wireless tether feature. He was so impressed he did a jailbreak of his iphone4 to get it. Then he got a nice little bill the next month when he went over 2gb. Needless to say, his iphone is no longer jailbroken.

Major Improvements of PRL xxx77

Attached below is the internal Sprint document of the recent improvements of the PRL.
Mainly for everyone who doesn't want to read and see the new coverage it turns on 3G Roaming in the following states:
- FL
- MI
- OH
- WV
- WI
- NC
"- PRLs expand 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming coverage in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
- PRLs also add Strategic Alliance Roaming (SRA) to portions of North Carolina. Customers will have a Sprint like experience for voice and 3G services, meaning the roaming light will be off and billed as on-network."
I'll also be writing an article describing in details exactly what is going on.

Glad to see you on here still bro

Good deal! Thanks for this...

I updated mine manually since I can not receive ota updates due to the fact that I am on a custom ROM. There is a thread on how to do it in the development section. Below are the file you will need to update you PRL manually.

Thanks for posting this... always nice to see the text to go along with my analysis I do.

I knew u couldn't leave us this early lol =). I been bashing the Evo 3D too as I'm not impressed with 3D & just simply being tired of all these UI's that bloats the phone down & makes getting updates seem impossible. I was either gonna keep my Epic or get the Nexus S, but the one reason I may get the new Evo is for Netflix! Also, HTC really surprised me too with the dual core processor, I really thought they were gonna throw the 2nd gen Snapdragon in it & call it a day. Now my only worry is will HTC lock down the bootloader, as they been hinting around that they're gonna start doing it going forward.

Yup, EVO 3D is the first with the 8660 processor. It will have NetFlix support. And alot of people misunderstand 3D. The phone runs in 2D, but certain applications have 3D support. Sooner or later everything will supoport 3D, but not right awhile.
The EVO 3D runs soooo smooth. I have a video of it running and it is a amazing. The new HTC Sense is awesome. I LOVE HTC Sense, I have always been an HTC fan, but the Samsung Epic impressed me too much to pass up. I had the HTC Vouge, and I made the first M2D custom rom for it, and I was the first to perfect it. The HTC Hero was my next and the Sense on that was incredible. I now see that the EVO 3D's Sense has surpassed all my expectations. I work with all the Sprint phones so I get to use everything, and by far the EVO 3D is greater then all. The LG Thrill and the Moto Atrix has nothing on it.
Trust me, the 3D is not a gimmick. This is legit and awesome! I will be getting it the day it comes out for my personal phone. HTC Sense, may be bloat to some, but it is by far the best UI out and even better then Launcher Pro IMO. I know I'll get hate mail for that, but Sense is the best UI out for Android currently.

Verizon's is the roaming coverage we get, it's the only carrier we support roaming for. Idk who the exact company who owes the towers...but I can find out.

Why has the Epic not been EOL'd like the EVO?

Not understanding why Sammy doesn't just EOL the Epic. We already have the next gen out in the wild. And I'm thinking more and more each day that we will never even see 'official' Gingerbread.
Tired of having to keep checking here to see if official 2.3.4 is here and it never is and I crawl back in my hole and cry myself to sleep.
Don't know why I even care, my next phone won't be until the Galaxy S III hits the US. Flame away I guess.

Maybe because the epic touch was released after the evo 3d?
sent from my miui-ified epic

My theory is that this phone has a lot left in it. For a phone still running Froyo it can still hold its own against Gingerbread phones. This was one of the few Froyo phones to get skype video chat support (even though we can't use the ffc). This phone is. Damn good phone and now with LTE coming mid-2012 no one will want to give it up. Most people with an Evo have moved on to a new phone, Epic owners are still holding on. Plus compared to the Evo Shift this is the best andrid phone with a keyboard and no telling if there will be another. Just my thoughts

EOL was supposed to be October but at the bottom of the EOL it said *these dates are subject to change
Obviously they changed for the epic.

Probably because there aren't a lot of high end Android phones with a physical keyboard on Sprint, while there are plenty of ones without. It fills a niche. The EVO doesn't.

I hope this mean they will keep the epic 4g as a mid-range phone and extend its life all throughout 2012.

Why would they list the EVO twice if that was the case? Back in July and recent. I understand where you're coming from but this absolutist end of the Epic mood you put into your posts is unneeded. There is no point in complaining, it's a phone, we're on Android. The OS and the phones move so fast that top of the line is end of the line in a matter of days to be figurative. It's not end of line at the moment. It will be but not now.

Exactly. There isn't a phone that has replaced it yet. I require a physical keyboard for my day to day use of my phone. I have tried to go virtual keyboard and just can't do it. Kind of hard to type shell commands in with virtual keyboard without the frustration of wanting to throw the phone out the window kicking in.

Dude because not everyone goes and buys a new phone once they come out not everyone has money nor wants to do that. PLAIN IN SIMPLE.

It's been a fun 2 years...

...but it's time for another adventure! I've used my upgrade and purchased a Samsung Galaxy S III.
What can I say, this phone is a BEAST! I didn't think I would like TouchWiz but I do now. Going to miss the Sense UI (port maybe, hmmm)
I've already rooted the phone and it was hella easy! Haven't tried any ROMs yet (being picky) but I will soon enough. I got CWM and I'm missing drob's "superwipe" I gotta get him to show me how I could implement it to the SG3.
I'll still be coming around here and check out the development plus you guys are the best, hands down. Cool people and easy going. I could already feel the tensions and egos at the SG3 forums and I've only posted once so far...
Maybe I'll see some of you sooner than later at the other forum. Hit me up then...
Good luck to everything...

It would be great to have you come on board with the SG3. Coming Black Friday, the SG3 is sold for only $50!!!
I could see it already... SUPREME GALAXY!!!
Hey Thronnos, CRYSTAL2 looks hella good on the SG3. Imagine flashing a whole bunch of AOSP or AOKP with Crystal2 themed. Ridiculous...

Tempting me to jump on board the Samsung bandwagon. And I've looked at the new crystal and I love it. He completely brought it in line with Holo. It's soo sexy
Shifted from the Twilight Zone

GN2 is Quad core. Evo LTE is not. Droid DNA is quad core but Verizon.
Don't know how I feel about HTC anymore. GN2 was really nice to play with at the store.

I am leaning toward the GN2 as well or even the GS3, but the quad core is the bigest selling point.

The EVO 4G LTE has had some major issues locking onto and maintaining LTE signals. Sprint and HTC are being lazy about fixing it properly. The Galaxy S3 is better.

Is that a Sprint or HTC issue though?

Probably an HTC issue, but we aren't 100% sure. And quite a few people have exchanged their EVO LTE's out for GS III's as a result.

This is so true bec. I hear it all the time from my wife (who owns a Evo lte) on how her signal goes from 4g-3g-1x constantly. Also she is having problems connecting to Wi-Fi.

It's a shame, because the EVO LTE is a nice phone. Played with a couple in a few different Sprint stores.

Is anyone staying with the HTC Evo Shift? Or is this phone too obsolete?

Definitely not obsolete yet, but some of the new phones just blow it out of the water... The Shift can run JB which is the newest version of Android so nobody can say its obsolete til it can't handle the latest version of Android, lack of dev support is a little different story... But there still are a few of us trying to keep you guys supplied with new ROMs. When my contract is up in June I am getting a QuadCore with LTE even if I have to go with Verizon. I have had my eye on the Optimus G. Quad Core and a 13MP camera? Yes please. The Droid DNA's specs are amazing too. I don't see HTC coming out with something to match either one in the next 6 months but I'm definitely not going with Samsuck. If there is nothing from HTC worth getting its gonna be LG or Motorola. Ok rant done.

Don't know if you've notice all the Roms that are coming out on a weekly basis for the shift, pretty obvious this phone is still going strong.
I may have moved on to a new phone but my shift is still in use for other purposes.
