Well since our phones are almost antiques now I thought I'd start this thread for all those upgrading to say their goodbyes instead of 1000 different threads popping up and me closing them.
Be nice and conduct yourselves like adults.

I now have that "Closing time" song in my head.
I will continue to build my collection of devices but will still be here or maybe a slight goodbye but be here in spirit.

As soon as I can afford it, I'm jumping to the G Note II. Gonna miss the Evo forums, when it happens, but until then, I'm still gonna run the hell out of this phone

I thought about it for awhile, since Wirefly has had it for 100 bucks, and it;s a sweet phone, but I know I'll always wish I had waited a little longer for the G Note II

Yep S GS4, Note III, probably by then, another new Nexus, etc....
You'll have a lot to choose from
my sprint contract was up last month, i am considering the new Nexus 4 on t-mobile....but no LTE...just HSPA+ ...i am in the milwaukee area, does anyone have any experience with HSPA+ on tmobile? anything has to be an upgrade from my evo, as sprint in milwaukee never had wimax and who knows when they are going to rollout LTE ....i will not get ATT and i dont want to go with verizon, so t mobile seems like a good option....
any opinions out there? thanks in advance

Its worth it :thumbup: i will be officially retiring my evo at the end of the month. I just upgraded my main line to the gs3 10 mins ago and getting the note2 dec 1. My dad just bought one off contract and gave me the gs3 so I can use my upgrade on a note2 in December. That is one bad phone, its fast has a bbs (big beautiful screen) and did i mention its fast like 0 lag when multitasking in dual screen mode. Definitely worth the upgrade especially coming from the evo you wont be disappointed

I'm sure I am not alone in saying that my Evo is serving its purpose as a wifi music player. I keep mine at work with the latest stock rooted ROM. I still love Sense, if it were GSM I would probably swap it with my Nexus S 4G every now and then.
Good bye, I have the Note 2 now. I loved my EVO though and although the screen is cracked I don't want to rid myself of the thing. Sprint is offering me $38 worth of credit for it though so eventually I will mail it in.

you got a point!!!! BWAHAHAHA!
I love my EVO and is sad that is going out like this and I can't upgrade yet since I got it last summer. I would love to use the GS3 but it will cost me an arm and a leg to get it now so is EVO OG till the very end! Hey, I don't feel bad about old phones, they still can perform. I have a bricked G1 that I might JTAG since no one here "knows" how to do it, but they gladly will get it out of my hands for free (really?) So I am not giving that one up and I would love to see it running Donut again. As far as this EVO, it might finish in my son or daughter's hand.
Wirefly FINALLY has the G-Note for $249.50

I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.
You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.
sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.
Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively

I know better than to get a samsung phone after seeing what they did with the moment
Ugh I'm in a tough spot. Went wakeboarding with my hero in my pocket this morning, and I'll let it sit in rice for a few days but I'm not holding out hope. I do have a line in our plan up for upgrade.
Do I:
Use it on another hero, which will root and probably run Froyo happily for another 10 months
Get an Evo which is nice but frickin' huge. Suck up the $10 sucker fee and deny the phones on the horizon
Get a cheap flip phone off Craigslist and hold out for an Epic.
Do I even want a hardware keyboard? Even if I didn't use it this phone looks awesome. Samsung support scares me though. Perusing the Moment developer scene doesn't give me much hope of getting AOSP builds going.

not worth it to waste an upgrade on a hero. go grab a old palm or blackberry and use it if u want the epic. or just suck it up and get the hero
Or if you wanted to pick up phones at radioshack you could just return each phone before the 30 days were up until it got released,
I did a whole tour exploring different phones and platforms waiting for the evo when I headed back to sprint, each time you return a phone it resets your 30 day period

no you get to try a device for 30 days if you dont like you can try another device for 30 days. sweet huh.
all i know is touchwiz looks like crap and so does the taskbar theme. i may just try to pick up a cheap evo.
Was wondering if we could get some of the top devs to chime in on what is the next device they are going to move on to now that the Evo has gotten a little long on the tooth. I'm on the fence on what my next phone is gonna be. Evo 3D or Galaxy S II. I'm partial to the GS II. The specs sound incredible but don't want to get it & have no Dev support. Case in point, the Epic. I've heard from Myn personally & he's on board with the 3D & I've heard through the grapevine that Aamikam is too. So what about Calkulin, toastcfh, flipzmode, ViRuS, netarchy, and others. Sorry if I left anyone out but those are off the top of my head.

Well I my upgrade came June 4th so I can grab the 3D on the 24th or wait for the Within whenever it get released. I'm trying to narrow it down because last year I bought the Evo on release date and purchased the Epic a few months for my second line. I walked around with both for months but rarely used the Epic. It was an alright phone, and spec wise it was better than the Evo but the devs are what really made the Evo for me. That and the fact that I despise TouchWiz with all of my being. Finally got rid of that second line and trying to make a good decision. Want to get the Evo but pound for pound the GS II is the champ. To me the dev support is gonna be the final decision maker. I'm a flash-a-holic and I need my fix for new and different roms.

I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones. Ive only used custom roms, but if I had kept this 500 dollar phone stock and never received any updates/fixes for it, I'd be pretty pissed. I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....
Thank god for XDA

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

Yup.
I got it last October for my birthday, full price (I don't have tmobile)
Overlooked the Captivate because I thought this phone would progress more development wise

I got my 2 phones during the valentines special for free. I love this phone thx to XDA, CM and now ICS Passion. Updates from TMO or Samsung? That ship has sailed... a long time ago.
I don't worry about that anymore, CM7 is running just fine, lets get some bugs out of Passion and we are good to go.
I agree, if it wasn't for team toxic I would have sold this phone a long time ago.

Since im on an old em+ plan that doesnt cover subsidized phones, i paid full price for my vibrant. Barely had that phone for a year and i fully blame tmobile for the piss poor support. Never again. Im much happier now with my galaxy nexus.

Hope you never have to call 911.
On a side note, why isn't there a way to unthank a post? Damned thanks button needs to be somewhere else, I'm used to the quote button being on the end.

My Vibrant will serve as my music and video player when I get my GSM Galaxy Nexus next week. Vibrant = Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0.

I presume you mean "fine, except for the fact the GPS doesn't work, and you can't call 911?"

Not sure what your issues are, but my phone has pretty good GPS AND I can use 911 just fine, the 911 "issue" has been blown out of proportion
