I'm wondering how long you guys think it will take for ICS to get ported to the Epic. I mean, realistically, it took us the better part of a year to get CM7 (and it's still only a release candidate). I'm pretty invested in this phone, having bought a car dock and game gripper for it. But it seems to be such an oddball in terms of development. My buddy's got a Fascinate, and seeing his 4.0 screenshots has been making me very jealous. Been thinking of trading in for a Nexus S or Evo Shift. Thoughts? And I hate to pimp, but if you've got either of those phones, and are looking for a Boost Mobile Epic, I'd consider a trade. PM me.
While it's on my mind, the aforementioned Fascinate guy stated that he gets 600k downstream on VZW when tethering, 1meg in good signal area. I've never even approached that...fastest I ever got was 200k, usually closer to 100k. Is this a difference in the radios between Galaxy models, or a symptom of VZW vs. Sprint?

1. ICS will take a shorter time than cm7
2. The nexus s is way better than the shift. The shift isn't pure Google and is reeeeeaaaallllyyyy slow
3. VZW. > sprint
Also, our cm7 RC works perfect. Everything works fine...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I mean it ain't gold yet. Don't get me wrong, it's a huge step for this phone, but we could realistically be looking at a 12 month gap between the time when CM7 was official, to the time when it was official for the Epic. I don't think I'd enjoy waiting that long for CM9, y'know?

Yeah, and even if I could hack it together, there's no Wimax coverage where I am anyways. Here's the question, though...I'm sticking with Boost, and I doubt they'll be offering LTE anytime soon. Still wait, you think?

You live in an area with crappy Sprint service. I get around 1-1.3 mbps on 3G. If I am tethering it will be on 4G though (4-6mbps).

Extending the company’s 4G device leadership yet again, it is the fourth 4G phone available and 20th 4G device announced from Sprint."

i personally will be enjoying my new ns4g on may 8th, i will enjoy it even more when ice cream comes out. really and truly each device has their own market, there is no reason to slam down one just because.
one of the biggest draws for me is the software, within 4 days cm7 will be on the nexus s 4g. the nexus is still getting updates that leaves me very optimistic about the nexus s. ideally they would have brought a nice new lg nexus instead but hey whichever

It depends on what hardware elements are the EXACT SAME, for instance it won't help with the camera because they have different sensors, but it might help with the GPS.

I imagine it will have one very soon since Samsung gave one to the CM team (not the cdma version, but i'm sure they will make a rom for it).
This is only my opinion so take it for what it's worth. Don't expect to see the EVO 4G+ in the States. There's simply not a place for it in Sprint's handset lineup. Since it's basically the 3D without the 3D what would be the point? It would be redundant.
The HTC 4G+ (with an unlocked bootloader) should have came to Sprint, not the 3D.
Don't hate me
I just hope sprint gets the next iPhone. I've been using MIUI since I rooted my Evo.
Honestly, I think iOS fits my personal tastes more than android.

That's right. I would venture 90+% of people have NO CLUE what Gingerbread is, nor what version of Android they're currently running. They see an update come through, install it, and go about their business. A select few of them may notice something different with the looks, but that's about it. They may notice something looks different, but only because one of their apps (I'm thinking Eclair vs. Froyo messaging) looks a bit different. If that's the case, they probably assume the update was just for that app...
If Samsung is throwing around Gingerbread all over the Epic (as well as most of the US galaxy s series) have not gotten, maybe it is the carriers holding everything up. All of the updated GBs have been through Kies and for some reasn Sprint don't want the Epic on Kies.

Photon Q. I just unlocked it... too bad there are no ROMS to flash for it.

are you going to stick with the Photon Q then? I was looking into getting either the EVO LTE or the SGIII but now, the NEXUS 4 is looking mighty fine! Can't wait, as of 5 days ago, I am eligible for an upgrade... :good: :victory:
Nexus 4 will never come to sprint. If you want the 4 grab the Optimus G and hope it gets root. But other than that the Evo LTE is boss.

Really the only 2 phones I've been considering are the EVO LTE and the Photon Q. I still have a while until my next upgrade so I'll be paying close attention to what Vicodan thinks of his Q.

Probably not.
First OTA came out yesterday. I'm going to test it out today.

Really? I thought all NEXUS phones are multi-platform? All carriers?

I'd be inclined to agree if it werent for the keyboard. HTC needs to stop screwing around and make another slider phone. That's the only reason i went with the Q. I miss sense terribly though. Oh well, compromises always have to be made i guess.
