It seems like someone got access to a sheet that lists all the Q1 releases. The HD2 is listed for 3/24. I hope it's true, though I'd prefer earlier.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/02/htc-hd2-coming-march-24th-zeppelin-called-cliq-xt/
3/24 has been the speculated release date for a while now, but remember, it's still speculating. why the date? Well if u look at tmobile USA deals, you will find that there is a sale on all htc products until 3/23 which is a pretty standard move to get rid of as many old devices before a knew one comes out. Also, there was a guy that supposedly works for tmobile that has confirmed the date. There was another specific reason for the date but I can't seem to recall it. Furthermore, this launch date would fit with all the rumors and CEO's expectations for the launch date.
So yes, I'm guessing 3/24 or 3/25 will be the launch date
I read a thing on Engadget awhile back about "T-Mobile invites us to 'come experience the HTC HD2' on March 16"
I thought there was supposed to be some big HD2 reveal today? Where is it?
hrmmmmmmm?

It's happening in New York tonight, so we'll know in the next few hours.
Seems like it's nothing new.
it was just them officially saying pricing and that it will be out the 24th i guess
Its Official $199w/contract and $450w/out contract
Its Official $199w/contract and $450w/out contract
I don't abt the announcement but here is engadget again:

Seems like Engadget was invited to the event tonight, but I don't see them doing any articles or blog on it.

http://www.ozcarguide.com/technology/cellphone-pda/2845-sprint-htc-evo-4g-price
As of last week, Sprint made it available for customers to sign up and receive updates on when the HTC Evo 4G would release. Today, Best Buy has done the same over at their website.
Now that Best Buy was officially talking about the HTC Evo 4G I thought I drop by one of their outlets and see if they had any information to share. A Best Buy rep, from the Geek Squad, had advised that they will be selling the HTC Evo 4G on a $199 Sprint contract plan. He had no further information other than this but we can deduce it must be the 2 year plan. So now that we know it is priced similar to the Verizon HTC Incredible (and the now defunct Verizon Nexus One), it looks like the final decision would be based on which carrier you prefer.
OZCAR guesses that customers will more than likely choose their new Android smartphone based on this criteria since the phones are almost evenly matched. Personally I would opt for the Sprint HTC Evo 4G as it does have a few added extras.

i think saying "a few added extras" is a huge understatement...
Excellent! That's about what I was hoping though I was afraid they'd put it like the TP2. A buddy of mine has the HD2 and I was checking it out since it should be pretty similar. I liked the size, didn't seem obnoxious in my pocket. Can't wait!
This site is EXTREEMLY duboius
This site is not a trusted site for information. If the $199 price point is accurate I will be extreemly happy, but honestly I am expecting to hear $249 on May 19, 2010.

May 19th, 2010? Just wondering if you read that date somewhere or if you are just speculating? The "rumor" I believe Engadget was stating is a potential release date of June 6th or 13th. May would be wonderful, but I'm not holding out too much hope for that date as of now...

That's the release date for the phone. The speculated full spec/price/plan information / media blitz is rumored to start in mid-May.

Again, June 6th/13th is the release of the phone to sale to the public. Mid-May is when the rumored date that Sprint will release all pricing/plan/formal release date.
In short, May is when Sprint will start pushing the device to the public, letting us know when it will be released, how much it will cost, and the plan details for it.
June 6th/13th will be when the phone is released so that you, me and John Doe may purchase it.

FroYo (Android 2.2) is expected to be announced on May 19th as well. I'm curious to see the upgrade path for the EVO 4G to Android 2.2. Hopefully it won't be one of those endless waits for an upgrade. Maybe they'll switch to 2.2 last minute before release(probably not...)

This is very unlikely, and has been discussed quite a bit. The Evo will be shipping most likely with a modified version of 2.1 that supports 4G, however --
The Evo team has been rumored to be working very closely with FroYo, and will support it upon its release. The Evo, although not shipping with 2.2, will receive the update in a very timely manner (after the N1, of course)
Gotta remember this is Sprint's flagship device, and Dan's baby - there is no way they're going to let this thing fall behind in any way of any other device.

Now let's see what the off contract price is as I just got my Hero in December.
Seriously, it's releasing in 2 days and no pricing or availability details??
This is ridiculous.
Has a company ever announced a product and simply never released it?
Others are noticing this too:

Yes, but Sept 25 for over 100 countries. If there was such a massive launch scheduled within 2 days, don’t you think we’d hear something about it? Pricing, which European stores were going to carry it, unboxing videos, hands-on reviews with retail units, etc.
But nothing!
So this makes me think that those countries aren’t getting it soon. And if they are delayed, then you better believe we will be, too.
This blows.
In italy nobody have notice about the new Note...
I did a quick search for Samsung's IFA 2013 announcement's and The Verge noted the GN10.1 2014 Edition was slated for an October release with no specific date provided. Just figures.

I have seen no official release date from Samsung for anywhere. I have seen speculation all over the place including Sept 24, Sept 25 and Oct 4. Nut all of those dates have come from blogs and rss news, nothing official.

According to this article it won't be available in Canada until November.

According to Samsung Switzerland (on Facebook) we'll be getting it 'mid-october', the LTE version 'end of october'.
For a device that's supposed to be available in three weeks, I find this lack of information very strange.
I don't get why so many tech companies don't get this. This is why Apple is as successful as it is, they don't pull this kind of thing.

Galaxy Note 3 (deservedly) Galaxy Gear (not so deservedly) is taking all the attention it appears. However, they could throw us a bone here and there. I know that they don't expect a lot of sales but still, as I said in another thread, if you want to gain loyal customers, you don't pull this kind of stuff.
Pull what kind of stuff?
They showed a upcoming product, never announced a release date, and have yet to do so (likely because they don't have one yet). I'm not sure what the alternative is other than to just make one up and then miss it?
Personally I'd rather them wait to announce anything until it's a sure bet and I respect them for that.
Nothing pisses me off more than having a release date and it gets missed or there is a shortage.
I really don't understand the current hysteria lol...
Looks like this may shed some light on when it's coming....

My Prediction based on the roll out of roms for the Wifi & WIFI+3G Variants
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457074
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457071
That these variants will be released as rumored before end of September early October. ( which seems promising for Middle east, Africa & European countries )
The LTE 4G version seems to be released on a later stage - probably November. ( For North America )

I agree, a release date that is announced but then not honored is also very annoying.
What I mean is that they announce a device, with some kind of release date (at least an approximate one; at least in some areas) but yet there is very little information (for example the price) out there fore interested customers.
In my opinion, if you announce a device you need to be able to present a release schedule and reccommended retail pricing. Otherwise people are going to get excited about your device at the announcement but then get frustrated during the wait of indeterminate length.
This is the example that I experienced: The Note is announced at the end of august. Weeks later, online stores (where I live) still didn't have it in their catalogue and asking customer support, they said they had no info about it, be it price, release date or even if they will have it, because they were not informed by samsung. When the new iPhones were announced the stores had them in their catalogues on the same day, pricing, release date and all. Today you can buy the new iPhones, which were announced two weeks after the Note, of which there is still no sight.
From a marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense to me. You spend a lot of money and effort announcing your device, trying to get people excited over it. But because people can not act on their excitement (for a long time) all that energy just dissipates, instead of it going into pre-orders/sales.

Bravo!
Here is what I just found on LG's website. Not sure how recently this was put up:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/verizon
Hope that means the official release date and pre-order date are coming REAL soon! Sick of waiting for pricing and availability from Verizon... everyone else has at least SOMETHING out there (and AT&T has the actual phone in stores!).
reps at a store near me say november 5th for release, which makes sense since verizon is slow. also this is dumb that we have to send away for earphones.....it'll probably take a month just to get them lol
