Android: Phone News and Discussion Thread
I got the text msg about this yesterday...:toocool:
http://now.sprint.com/evo/?INTCID=AB...:EvoPL:960x320 http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-200...CarouselArea.0 Looks like a sweet rig... but I always say that...:tongue: |
Shitty that they are charging users an extra $10 a month though.

my bill is high enough as it is for the 4 phones we have... :yuck: |
Even with 4g that phone plan is just as much as my iPhone with 450 minutes, unlimited data and 200 text messages
|
i wonder if my current plan is sufficient enough for this phone. Looks like its going to be a solid phone. But with the current plans for the iphone to hit all carriers i wonder how this will do against the iphone.
|
The only thing that sucks about this phone is that it's going to be waiting a while for FroYo

Iphone isn't going anywhere. Until verizon or sprint gets a network that can do voice and data at the sametime. I know 4g can but its coverage is way too small to switch already.
|
I'm getting this phone in June. I'll have had the Pre for 1 year so at least I'll get the $75 off the new phone. I have the 23% volume based discount already so don't mind the addn $10 so much, especially since HI has 4G coverage. Cannot wait:wish:
|
My Brotha Rick! I knew you would be all over this! I didn't know HI had 4G already!

Yeah! Why doesn't Sprint or VRZ have a dual system yet? That's so lame!

That's just how there technology is based. It's a strong system, but it has the one obvious flaw. The good thing about it is if you have voice signal, you have data signal. Unlike GSM where you might have a voice signal, but you can't access data.
I didnt realize the GSM had that weakness either.. thanks for bringing me up to snuff! |

thus allowing voice and data at the same time. :dunno: |

iirc this HTC evo 4G allows voice and data at the same time because they put in a sprint wimax adapter in it for data and a regular 3G antenna for voice.

i think it only works if you're in an area with 4G, so if you dont, then it doesnt work.

After 2 duds in a row from Sprint (Pre and Instinct), I'm tired of purchasing the "iPhone killer". I'm just gonna wait for the new iPhone.

I totally understand... I wish peeps would just let new phones stand on their own... so far, the only true iphone killers have been the newer gen iphones themselves... peeps need to get a clue...LOL :tomato:

I don't think you could get iPhone with a SERO plan. Everytime I see a deal for Sprint phones on slickdeals, there's always a stipulation that you can't get in on the deal if you have a SERO. I guess we'll see if they even announce it. If Verizon gets it, can Sprint too?
|
Well news just popped up that sprint will get it too.
Maybe explains the ~9% gain on the stock?? :dunno: |
Sprint is getting the iphone? I have a reservation for the Evo, may have to rethink that.

:werd: i think the iphone will be available on sprint in September. I will probably wait for that. I wanna see the reviews on the Evo before i consider that over an iphone. I love my sero plan which is why i cant leave sprint :tomato:

I have had no problems upgrading to any phone on my sero plans. The only difference i see is that they want me to renew my contract in order to get the $150 incentive, but i always decline cause that would change my sero plan from $30 to the $50. I make that savings back in 8 months from sticking with that sero plan. So i willing to pay the full price to keep my plan exactly where it is at.

Passed a Sprint store this morning and there was a line waiting to get in. This is the first time that I've noticed people waiting in line outside a store to get a phone besides the iPhone.

i got the htc hero from sprint a couple weeks ago.....im debating on swapping for the new evo....ive enjoyed this phone so far and don't really feel like paying 10 bux more a month for faster service when the coverage in south florida is already really good.....hmmm
