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if it took about 7 months for the hero to become a "outdated" phone i take it the evo will be considered old by x-mas?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Honestly the Evo might be outdated sooner.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

Developers please answer

I just want to know what new phone our developers will be getting. I really like all the work these guys do and I'm trying to decide what my next phone will be so developers please post what new phone you all will be getting. Im really leaning towards the galaxy SII. Thanks

Probably the Nexus S 4G. Then GSII after that. Maybe the HP Pre 3 :0

This is good to know. SRF is the only ROM I've ran since I rooted this bad boy and even though I've thought a few times about trying others, I've then thought, "why when this works so well?"
Anyway, I'm up for a new phone (bought the Epic from guy on craigslist since I couldn't stand the BB I had any longer) but thinking about letting wifey use it so she too can rid herself of the blackberry.
Knowing the devs plans certainly makes that an easier decision. With k0 going to continue development, and the very real possibilty of CM7, I think the Epic should last me quite some time.

@k0ane
Still no phone? For real? Where on earth did u take or send it to get fixed?!?! Lol
Anyway I think I might consider any nexus phone that is out when my contract is up in a year otherwise I still love my epic
The development and updates of it seem awesome!!! And im fine with the speed of ny epic and would mainly want a nexus for updates and the rom galore

No, I still like my epic. But, I'm bringing my wife over to sprint and I need to find her a phone to make her get rid of her iphone.

If I had a full upgrade I'd consider it, otherwise I'll be rocking my Epic until next summer.

I don't know about you guys, but that phone looks pretty sexy.
At least sexier than my Epic..

I'm thinking about it but my Epic + physical keyboard + Syndicate Frozen 1.2 with keyboard fix is sooo difficult to walk away from. And if a GB 2.3 were to get tossed into Mystery's ACS freezer it will be even harder to ditch the Epic

I'm already starting to miss my epic...

Id switch if I could do it cheaply. I am a year in almost of the 2 year with my Epic. If I could upgrade for like a hundred dollars I would in a heartbeat. Not paying 600 or more for this phone though out of pocket.

Hm there might be two variants of the gs2 one with sammys processor and the other with the tegra 2, any chance they hit the drawing board again with the "epic 2" in mind as one of those variants? Considering someone did a device search and came back with "D710" ?
Just a theory, seem valid? Lol

well, you might be in luck then...
check out my recent post from an old thread
I'm not quite at my 12 month point yet and got an early upgrade 'scheduled' for when i hit that mark..
now the new phone might be "WiThin" reach (pun intended)

WiThin will not have Tegra! It has Mali GPU and Tegra phones have GeForce GPU. I guess that means SPH-D710 is WiThin. Amazing that on Nenamark, the top 8 phones are GSII. BTW here's the link
http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=593
It's SPH so it's definitely sprint and it's got Mali so its probably the GSII and performs like the other ones do on the test. Also, it got WIFI certified in May if that means anything.

may grab the evo design 4g just to hold me til the summer http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/sprint-unleashes-the-htc-evo-design-4g-available-october-23rd-f/

I say when they get ready to launch LTE. Although, I would like to see an HTC version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not really into the whole stylus, nor 3D. I just want bigger, faster, more memory. Want to get fancy, include a optical, non-digital zoom for the camera.

I think ICS will make my decision for me. IF the OG EVO can get an AOSP ICS build (with or without WiMAX) I'm going to keep it until I see how Sprint's LTE rollout goes. I'm gonna tide myself over with a Windows 8 tablet when they launch...

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...

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.

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.
