Nice. I think I might have to get this phone once released on sprint. I know its not the fastest or best phone out but it has the best CM9 experience for sure.

I entered. It'd be nice to win it so I don't have to shell out the cash for one.

Hmm..looking over the official rules, it looks like they might be going for a mid to late April release. Contest ends April 1st, and winners are drawn on the 16th (or around then)

So does this mean sprint is ready to launch their lte network? Or did samsung do a different galaxy nexus with wimax instead?

LTE for an few citys this summer and 3G for the everyone else. i would hope to win one, because the GS3 is going to be an better one. even the new sony phone looks better. i would play with it for an month and sell it.

I hope seattle and portland get sprint lte soon. I will be living in one of these 2 cities starting in summer after I finish up school. Just depends on where I get a job.

Nexus prime

Just seen online that Samsung & Google are holding an advent on October 11!!! I just got my. Nexus S4G on Sunday now the primes just s month away or maybe a week after they introduce!!! I'm SIKED now its iPhone vs Prime this month Go ANDROID! !!

I might be ready for some Nexus Prime !
I'm wondering I got the nexus s 4g 4 days ago at best buy & payed them 30$ for there buy back program where I can bring my phone back in 6 months & they would give 50% retail of what it cost so it would be 350$ then I can just pay the difference remaining & can get the Prime!!

You would be better off selling your nexus on ebay or craigslist and then buying the prime.

Count me in. I've had an upgrade since April and have been holding for the GSII, but when I heard about the next Nexus, I decided to hold off until details are confirmed. If it's coming to Sprint, and if so, when.

Nexus S on Ebay used are going for around 200. If he can get 350 back for it the Best Buy buyback thing would definitely be better. Then hit Ebay to get a prime.
a bit strange that they'd bring this out at pretty much the same time the iPhone 5 hits stores, no? perhaps they know something about the iPhone not coming out until later than is anticipated and are hoping to get the jump on it.
I thought the Prime was going to be Verizon exclusive for at least a month or two. Was that just a rumor?

I hope they don't do that, because they'll loose lots of money for doing that but more likely its gonna take some time for sprint to get it, just like nexus s and then few months later NS4G

A sprint Rep told me they are getting the new Nexus but it would be a little after Verizon gets there's it looks as all 4 carriers are getting it which would make sense if they want to go toe 2 toe with crapple I mean apple lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
This is my new phone. I don't trust the rumors, but the general sense is that Verizon exclusivity is not going to last too long - maybe a few months. Also, Verizon is offering it as a Droid Prime, so it is likely not to be a pure Google experience phone. I was thinking of jumping ship to VZW due to piss poor Sprint coverage if it was not for the 2GB data cap (generally use slightly more than that a month).

Yearly Upgrade 3 days away

Normally I roll my eyes at these threads.. but.. whatever, anyways
I am on a friends employee plan, meaning I get an upgrade once a year.. that upgrade is dec 26th.. and I don't kno what to do.. the epic was the first phone I got on his plan.. it was my first smartphone.. ive learned a buttload about android, flashing, etc.
I was thinking I was going to wait for the galaxy nexus to use the upgrade.. but as my upgrade approaches I'm getting an itchy trigger finger on the gs2..
I'm starting to lean more towards just waiting til next december for the galaxy nexus.. what do u guys think?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
First make sure the plan doesn't change to 20 months after this upgrade since Sprint is eliminating a lot of upgrade eligibilities. The GS2 is a great phone. So if you don't want to hold out until the LTE phones come out with quad cores in the summer then go for it.
Hm I wonder if that applies to the employee plans.. ill have to check.. if I am set to get another upgrade next december I think I'm going to do it.. I doubt minneapolis would be fully up and running with lte until then anyways

Yup, that's what I would do if you have another one coming next December. By then there should be a good line of LTE phones. But if it's 20 months....
So confirmed it will be 20 months

NOW is that finger so itchy? LOL. I could have upgraded at Radio Shack because of an error in their system but didn't because the Epic is awesome for one, can't live without the keyboard for 2, and then didn't want to be stuck with WiMax for 20 more months.
That 20 month news spread the metaphorical preparation h on my trigger finger.. I don't kno that I would want to be on a wimax phone for over a year after lte hits..

I'd wait too... Like Kenny said quads are coming. LTE is coming. And if you can wait a little longer into late next year you might be able to get a handset with CDMA on 700Mhz band (recovered Nextel iDEN spectrum) with much improved coverage along with the quad-core handset with LTE 4G. (though it could be 2013 by the time handsets and network are ready for that)
20 month upgrade cycles sucks but you have an Epic with lots of dev activity and the potential to get ICS via CM. I'm sticking with it for another year in all likelyhood... save up some cash and wait for a CDMA/LTE Android flagship device that will keep me cool for a minimum of 20 months.
I'm going to wait.. I've been waiting so long for official cm7.. I'm not jumping ship just yet.. plus the epic community is the shiz..

I have an upgrade available on January 1st and I've had the same problem. I want to use the upgrade because it THERE! I thought about the E4GT, but it's another TouchWiz phone. Then I thought about maybe if/when the Galaxy Nexus comes to Sprint, but then there are quad cores coming out shortly after that! Who's to say Sprint will get those right away? Such is the life of a techie...

I've been eligible for an upgrade since early october... I haven't used it yet because of the elimination of 1 year upgrades so I'm saving it until the first quadcore LTE qwerty phone. My epic does everything I need and THENSOME. I can only imagine when I finally see a phone that actually makes me say "............deal."

Quadcore lte qwerty?! For me I would add aosp and samsung hardware to that.. but that's wishful thinking.
I'm willing to trade the keyboard for a 4.5in or above screen.. I would prefer aosp, but honestly I would probably settle for tw.. as I'm just going to flash a rom that removes the garbage anyways..
Is the quadcore going to be similar to what some dual core phones are now? The software doesn't support the processor so it really is just 1 core?

Two problems
1 - Second link needs a 'html' and not 'htm' on it.
2 - Those are 'expected' specs, unfortunately.
I'm looking forward to genuine 'next gen' type hardware like people seem to want this to be, but this is just speculation and wishful thinking currently.
hopefully this will we an improvement over ths sgs2.. a better TW ui will be nice.. Something different will help them out..
Hopefully being as it is expected to start delivering in the second quarter that Sprint's version should have LTE and maybe we will finally see a keyboard again.
more importantly, will the sg3 have a variant with a hardware keyboard...
I think I want no keyboard this time.

Yeah, screw this 3D nonsense on a phone. If it does release in September here in the States, on Sprint, that would be about the right time where some of us would be covered by LTE. I've had an upgrade since like March of this year and have been sitting on my Epic. I don't think I'm going to jump on anything and with LTE coming out next year, I'm probably going to wait for an LTE capable phone, and make sure LTE is around the Chicago area before I do anything.
With Epic moving to MTD, I expect that in itself to extend the life of the phone to about what I would want/need.
Now, if the GNex comes out in the next month or two...it's going to be mighty tough to hold out considering I already get WiMax around this area, and that's not going away until 2015...

[Q] What do you think is your end of life for the epic?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if people have an idea of how long they'll stay with there Epic? I don't think I've ever loved a phone as much as I love this one but I'm sure I'll be tempted away by something new this summer when my renewal credit is up.
What about you?

This phone has had such great staying power so far..it does just a little bit of everything just good enough that i'm not tempted to change one bit yet. The only reason for me to change is improved hardware/design plus I think I'm ready to ditch the KB.

Samsung Note LTE for sprint or a quadcore.. whichever I fall in love with first!
Waiting on SGS3. Eligible in July. May just go for the Nexus if the 3 looks like a long wait on Sprint, though.
Waiting for LTE with a hardware keyboard... just don't like the idea of using up all my screen with a keyboard.
I may be waiting forever because these cheap manufacturers don't want to make them anymore.

I just got the epic last week. Running it on virgin mobile. Can't beat $25 bucks a month
Ill probably run the epic for another year or so. Its a still a great phone and a big upgrade compared to my old optimistic v.
I am still getting a Google phone... like I said before, I don't want to be pissed off by samsung's lack if updates, closed source ROM, or HTCs locked bootloaders. I would actually like a Google phone on stock... I don't care if there is 65 core... single core is fast enough and dual core is amazing. Higher on a mobile phone is just stupid until software advances.

The Epic its the first phone that I've had for more than six months and not thought " I REALLY want a new phone!" It's been almost a year and a half now. I might upgrade to the G Nex if/ when out comes to Sprint or a quad core lte...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I see little reason to upgrade to something else until LTE is deployed in my area now that CM9 is on the horizon.
I might finally be ready for a phone without a keyboard. The Galaxy Nexus keeps calling me.
I will never get rid of my epic but if sprint gets galaxy note2 I will have to upgrade and keep epic for fun. Even better would be a nexus note.

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
That's a tough call. Galaxy Nexus is an amazing phone, and should be available sometime mid april, the 15th if the rumors are accurate. As a launch day Evo 4G owner, I think it's time for an upgrade. On the other hand, the S3 is an even more amazing phone. HTC One X is potentially an amazing phone, but the latest rumors are saying it's only going to have a dual core on Sprint, so not really worth waiting for me. I need to know more before I can make a decision. If no news has come out by the Nexus release, I may just go with that.
Man i'm drooling over the alleged specs of the S3, but just like the rest of you, i'm debating between the Nexus in April and the S3 whenever that happens (i think the latest rumor is middle/end of June?) I really REALLY want some new mobile hardware, but i think the Nexus is old news. I just gotta summon the will power to wait a few more months!
I'm going to wait for the S3 especially if it comes with a 1080 display.
