HTC Supersonic Video

What do you guys think is this the Supersonic or the Incredible I think it's the Supersonic because of the screen size and the red speaker grille Engadget posted this not too long ago
Supersonic?

im glad im a premier customer. Im saving my upgrade for that phone!

the sooner it comes out the better. I want to get my GF an android phone that trumps the iPhone, and I happen to live in KC (can't wait for that Wi-Max rollout).
I'll get one too if it's everything they say it is. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

think they have knocked out the idea of it being the supersonic now... depressing but if supersonic comes out anytime soon ill definitely grab me one

If that's the Incredible, the Supersonic must be huge.

I don't think it's the Supersonic because you can see it has an optical trackpad on the bottom in the center. The supersonic doesn't have an optical trackpad or a track ball (I wish it did though). My guess is it's the Incredible. I'm waiting for the Supersonic. We'll probably hear more about it from that big event coming up March 24th-26th.

I think it's the Supersonic just because the renders don't have the optical pad doesn't mean much and what Android phone doesn't have some way to click on small stuff in web pages etc. trackball, D-pad, optical pad I think that the leaked shots from earlier in the year just didn't show it they were pretty blurry cam

I hope you're right, because I was really bummed that the supersonic didn't have an optical pad. Here's to waiting!

Kc, mo is getting wimax this year.

I'm in a fairly large city. Hopefully We'll have WiMax by the time the SuperSonic rolls out.

mwhaha theres wimax in my area

i live in Dallas / Ft Worth, Texas
and we are one of the first to get the Wimax.
But according to their map.
My house is in a 1/2 mile hole that does not get Wimax...
and in that Hole... in the middle of a field near my house...
there is a 40ft area of Wimax coverage!!!!!
I dont get it!

Video removed by user does anyone have it up?

Woohoo! I'm moving out to Las Vegas in a few months. I plan on buying a 4g phone despite having to pay full price.
4g tethering would be spectacular, and Sprint has true unlimited (uncapped) data with 4g (to date).

am i able to boost my signal ??!?!??!?

so i have a DC 2.08 rooted sprint hero FYI.
i work in a high school 8 hours a day. i go through out the entire day without pretty much any signal. most of the time im in my office within the high school and i get no signal at all. is there anyway i can tweak the phone so i can get signal. i already tried different radios.

I have one of those cheap antena booster stickers that you put on the inside of the battery cover. They really do help - not a lot, but it does.

Placebo I guess....
I can take the battery cover off and the signal drops a bar in most cases.

sprint airave
let me tell you guys what i did, some of you that work for sprint will hate me, lol so i was only getting about 1 to 2 bars of service in my place, i mean its bearable but once i got ten mins down the road i get 6 bars full serivce, sometimes i would get dropped calls etc. so one day i got fed up and i called sprint and started *****ing about how i my phone keeps dropping calls all day long and they made me hard reset bring it into store blah blah, so i played their little sprint games etc, so service is still bearable, so i called again a few days later *****ed again how i keep dropping calls in my home already knowing what i could get out of it. they offered me a sprint airave which is a device that plugs into your router or any router that makes your signal go to full bars, this device works flawlessly. i bring it into work with me, plug it into my router at work, at home, i bring this box every where, all you have to do is call a few times and ***** about your signal and sprint will offer you a sprint airave at your home for free at no monthly cost.

Not saying they do or don't work... I personally wouldn't buy one. But there are just as many examples out there that say the opposite of your reference. Here's one:

wow! one year with sprint! :)

so I log in to check my bill at sprint.com, wanted to browse as i am looking for another phone to play with.. LOl
it's been a year, got my deposit back! wahoot!
seeing a little credit in there is nice, I have to say form all the stories i have heard about sprint being on these boards for almost a year, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, the financing department is first class, had some billing issues with them and they were as pleasant as can be. I do feel their service can be better in their stores, as My trusty evo's charging port let go back in november, and i had some rough spots tryin to get sprint to help me, so i went to htc and they resolved my issue no problems, so in a nutshell i am a happy customer!
now, do i want a design4g, epic4g touch, or photon4g? LOL

Totally agree with you. I have had a very pleasant experience with Sprint as well. Had a couple small billing issues that were fixed very quickly and drop less calls now than with Verizon. I used Verizon for 9 years but the cost was getting out of control. So far over the last 20 months, I have saved $2256 by switching. Total win

Sprint is great for the price. Just wait til network vision rolls out and coverage increases.

hah +1 for sprint gotta admit cept i just moved and i have ZERO coverage
note its northern wisconsin so i shouldnt expect to much i wish my evo had a unlocked sim slot i'd just grab a voice plan from att (closest tower is across the bay and its att of course)

I have been itching for the epic touch 4g....

Grats! I remember when I got my deposit back...was stoked to have 2 free months of service basically. As far as upgrading your phone I would hold off on that. I just recently purchased the EVO 4G because I really wasn't too impressed with the newer phones. Granted they are better than the EVO but just slightly which to me isn't worth either the upgrade credit or the extra cash. Wait for some more ICS phones and then upgrade....i'm betting Samsung and HTC will come out with something great.

Which part of northern Wisconsin? I use to live in a small town(Miladore) twenty minutes north of Stevens Point.
@brad check out the epic touch 4G thats what I'm looking at haha. My one year with Sprint is coming up April 15th. I know I'm not elgible for an upgrade but I figure ill treat myself anyway haha.
Sent From My Evo 4G Amped Up On Verizon Tower Power!

right outside of bayfield wisconson hmmm hour east of superior beaaaautiful up here and no computer repair business so here i am

I agree, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, their service is excellent.

Brad, I would wait until MWC. I am having the same debate, I am going to wait for my 2 years to officially upgrade but if I get the chance to try a different handset I will. My wife needs a replacement EVO but I am kind of hoping they wont have one and we will have to get something else... we will see. But HTC is going to be launching something BIG this year!

I'm waiting it out too. Galaxy Nexus, sure it has LTE but it is last year's technology. I have very high hopes for MWC and shall be revealed there.
Out of Design, Photon, or Epic Touch?
Design has basically no development community. Smaller screen, and single core just doesn't cut it for me.
Photon has Motoblur and it is a worldphone, if you're into that kind of thing. It has a small but quality development community, jokersax has put out some good stuff for them. Unlocking the bootloader borks 4G. You can relock to fix 4G, and you can't relock with custom kernels.
Epic Touch used to have Loss of Signal, which was an absolute pain. It is pretty much gone now. Took a while to get AOSP on it, but they have accomplished. They have the strongest development community out of the three. I think it is BML but I'm not sure. If it is, hopefully they will be able to convert it to MTD sometime in the near future.
OR wait

i can never wait for my upgrade i have about 4 months til my contract is up ... sadly i maybe switching to the evil empire (at&t) :/

thanks guys! think im gonna wait, love my evo to death, and i just got a kindle fire so i got a new device to hold me over haha!
you guys are the best

Hahaha I know that feeling all too well. I dropped my LG Optimus S a few months back and the screen just stopped working and I remember hoping I wouldn't be able to fix it so that I would be forced to get a new phone

I was a year and 6 months with sprint when they cancel my contact, for data usage when I was on unlimited data plan. Don't be, glad be sad haa ha

Have you considered calling them and letting them know that you have no service at your house. I was having the same problem as I live in a small town in southern california and they sent me a free airave. Granted its not the best solution in the world but it will provide you with coverage in your home as long as you have high speed internet.

I've had a few minor ups and down with Sprint as far as billing went, but next to nil issues with repairs or phone service. I wish it was my first year again. I've been with Sprint for close to a decade now.
As far as a new phone goes, I'm with one of the previous posters. There's yet to been a phone released that has made me want to make the switch. Especially due to many of the awesome ROMS that been developed for our phones in the past year or so. In some cases, it's literally like having a new phone every few months. lol

yes i have considered that but atm with google voice intergration i can still text fine over wifi so im content on waiting a little til i have more concrete plans and my internets its through phone company (it was through my cable in my previous town so i just hooked up a land line and/or use skype) thanks for the suggestion.
and my ex got the airave since it was tied to her plan damnit

I've been with Sprint since '99... And I've definitely had my ups and downs. Overall I'm very happy with my plan, unlimited, my Airave at no charge to boost signal at the house and my E4G that has a very mature development community... But I'm really hoping to see some quad core hotness released in the next few months...

It's never shown both colors on the T-Mobile site. I've seen that page when it first showed up and it's never had a white option to select.
Even @askdes confirmed no white way back when the phone was first announced.

I could be wrong but I always remember it only having blue listed so that's why I said it's nothing new.

So if you buy the phone outright from t-mobile can you then use it on Verizon?

LOL what a joke. They've been playing customers all this time getting them amped up to come to them for the phone and then they push back the release.
Why is it that every single Nexus release since the original has been a horrible mess of release dates, availability, and price? This is ridiculous. I'm guessing it was Google that pushed it back, since they've also neglected to update other Nexus devices with Android 5.0, but someone needs to come out and actually talk to their customers about this garbage.

Funny thing is, I called a few stores around here (in Cleveland...still a fairly large metropolitan area) and only 2 even knew what a Nexus 6 was...and those two said they hadn't gotten a shipment and were hoping to get one tomorrow.
That was before T-Mo broke the news that they don't know how to run a business.

Should go to T-Mobile anyways Turbo works great on their network.

Where I live, T is awful. No signal and my job requires me to be driving out to the boons for jobs and I need signal which I definitely wouldn't have if I didn't have Verizon

that's the ****ttt thing about living close to the boons... your stuck with being pocket raped by verizon

Yep. Oh well I guess

I didn't realize a few bucks a month was 'getting raped' by Verizon.... Seems a little hyperbolic.

Is a little more than a few bucks. Compare a 40 gb plan for both carriers... It's a big difference
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Yeah if you are using 40gb... Lol. That's ridiculous.

Not what I was saying. Price out a 4 line 40 gb plan on both. And BTW there are plenty of people that do use that much alone.

was going to post this myself lol. Love my turbo on tmobile towers. can understand vzw if your area has poor signal from Tmo tho.

I had TMO before I moved to Idaho and quite frankly I loved it....data speeds blew away VZW in cities, but on the highways and outskirts it just didn't have any data.

So I lied after using for a while I realized my YouTube still is terrible I can barely hear it . I'm so pissed .

Verizon should use this thread on a commercial....I don't think anyone has ever said "Thank You Verizon!"
I almost called them last week to dump them because I have 100,000 of those Smart Rewards points and every time I'd order/buy something with the points the product would NEVER ship. I waited 2 months for a bluetooth speaker to ship and it never did. And every time I would call they would open a "ticket" and say someone would call me in 1-3 days to fix my issue...and they wouldn't call. So I cancelled all my orders. I can order gift cards and they come in 2 days though..
