I think Sprint is doing so bad financially that they will probably release this phone to attract new customers or lock the ones that are already with them. It won't surprise me if they try to make people getting this phone to get on the "Simply Everything Plan" for $99.00 like they did with the instinct.
ya right, i wish.....
im staying out of contract with 2 lines so that i can bargain with them when the touch pro comes out
Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. It may be that the Diamond is coming to AT&T I suppose, but it seems doubtful to be coming to Sprint so soon.

not entirely true, since the CDMA Diamond and CDMA Raphael has already gone through FCC. Its up to Sprint now, who probably wont be making any fast decisions just yet, as there still dealing with a lot of **** lately. As a sprint customer I'm starting to feel worried about there future. >_> i just hope that the Korean merger well be a success. And not some cooperate flip-flop.
P.S- i could careless about the Diamond, i want that Raphael phone now!

Amen!!! I'm waiting for the touch pro myself.. I don't care too much for a phone without the keyboard, and about the internal 4gb I can care less too. I'll buy a bigger sd card if I have too and move my contents around. But we need that phone.. my mogul is good but a touch pro would be better.
I love these threads
Less doubt
Well I guess there is less doubt that it will happen!!! Check this report on Engadget!!

What do you mean "not entirely true"? It is completely true: Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. You're right, it is up to Sprint; but that has nothing to do with my post. Clearing the FCC doesn't mean the devices are both already ready for launch.

Reports I've seen show that Sprint's version isn't going to have a microSD slot.
Yes, now it does seem they've changed their original release order. The specs are fantastic on the Sprint models; I can't wait for these.
But "Herman", Sprint? HERMAN? Really?

Just as I was getting to like my Mogul after all thone phone swaps. Good thing I timed my activation for my latest swap to co-incide with the Sept 2nd date to make it easier this time. Hope the phone makes that date.
I guess its set for Sept

got this from Engadget!!! It looks promising!!!
Sprint Employees should have demo units in stores in the next couple weeks...
(I was told by a close friend who manages that the demos are inbound but sadly enough, he had no info on the Touch Pro )
I think most of you guys don't use your herald anymore and I've recently started to get tired of mine(due to i fail at flashing through sd card) so I'm in the market for a new phone. Just wondering if you guys can give some feedback on phones you may recently have bought. I'm on the tmobile network so i was thinking of getting the g1 or new mytouch phone. If you guys have any suggestions or feedback on those phones or any other ones i would appreciate it. I love my wing but I think its time to upgrade.

That's the problem, it is an if at this point. The Touch Pro 2 is already confirmed on the big 4 in the US, it's already released on half of them, and releasing on the other half in the next 60 days. It's the "it" phone this year, and probably well into next year as well. It's definitely my next phone.
IMHO "upgrading" to a new Android device is in all reality "downgrading". What makes WinMo great, the customizations...the programs...the hackability, it hardly exists on Android. Yes yes I know before someone comes in here and goes all custom ROM on me, you can do stuff with it. But Android to me is just another pretty dumbphone OS, *cough* iPhone *cough*.
You took the words right out of my mouth dude.
I've had my Wing for more than 2 years and it's done good for me even though, spec wise, it is a crappy phone lol.
The phone I'm getting next is the Touch Pro 2.
I have both the TP2 and the G1, now, in defense of android, it can be a fun system, but I have several issue with it, speed being the main one. Using a custom rom, and actually installing apps slows the phone to a crawl.. the tp2 is awesome.
I cant wait until i get my Tmobile Touch Pro2. At least my wings will go down using the newest Windows Mobile,lol. Even though i plan to keep mine.
TP2 looks amazing, and I might spring for it when it comes out. Right now I use a G1 with a custom ROM and no complaints about the speed
Uhm, you do know that the TP2 is already out right?

The Touch Pro 2 came out a couple months ago.
Since Sprint was so wise to keep the same name, I'm predicting very soon that this forum is going to get very messy. Would a moderator care to create a separate sub-forum to bypass the problem?
bump, the phone is out now going to need subforum real soon
Wouldnt eveything that gets done to the EU Version of the Hero work on the Sprint Hero. Or at least most of it as it runs a newer version supporting cdma. not necessaly 1.6
I second the request for a CDMA subforum. Between rooting discussions and custom cooked roms, we NEED a subforum.

In short, no.
+1 on this
agreed.
Yes, please make a sub forum! Just got my hero yesterday and I'm loving it (came from a tp2.) I would love to read on all the cool tweaks for this device.
agreed. lets get this thing moving.
Yeah let's do this. Maybe some of the awesome techies here at xda-dev can solve the EvDo issue that a bunch of us Sprint Hero users are having.
yea we need the cdma subforum..came from a tp...im a windows guy, but i think i like android better now
I agree. Just picked p the Sprint HTC Hero, looking to see how i can hack into this bad boy!
Yep lets get one going. I was all ready to root this bad boy and realized that root is diff on the Sprint from the EU version!
Agreed..
We definitely need a sub-forum....I'm lovin my hero!
Picked up my hero today from the Sprint store. I'm coming from the pre and thus far I'm liking the hero much better. Hopefully we will see some interest here in the CDMA version so we can enjoy some of the hacking goodness.
bump bump bump. just switched from the touch pro. lovin my hero but im gonna need hacks and cracks and ROMs to keep me happy and entertained..
please!! cdma hero sub-forum please!!
Bumpity Bump for my new Sprint Hero as well. Bring it on!
Thanks to the mods!

I've read it's a real-time update or what coverage you're in, or had something to do with the PRI and/or PRL version. I haven't been in a rev A area yet so Idk.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents that we need a sub-forum for cdma

Actually, the Rev A issue isn't one at all, rather it's a "display" issue that HTC needs to fix.
Basically, if you're in a Rev A area, you're getting Rev A speeds, it just isn't displaying it.

I just wanted to let everyone know in the USA that Sprint is releasing the new HTC Evo which is basically an HTC HD2 with a few upgrades and runs Android instead of Windows Mobile. I personally have the Telstra HD2 running on AT&T and love it and I would have got the T-Mobile version except that the T-Mobile coverage is horrible where I live and in many other parts of the country it is extremely poor as well. The Telstra HD2 also doesnt support some 3G bands that AT&T uses, I was lucky enough to live in an area which it does.
I am only mentioning this because its another option for people here in the USA to get a device like the HD2 with a few upgrades and running Android if thats something you want. I am thinking about switching because I am a tech Junky. I swear I am never satisfied!!!
I think everyone is aware of this
I doubt everyone because I just found out a few days ago and I tend to keep myself fairly up to date on stuff like this.

Maybe you need better sources that don't display 2-3months old news. BTW, there's a big thread on the EVO 4G a couple pages back
Lol, I just came to this topic just to see if anyone would slam you, I was right.
It happens though it is reasonable enough to note that you are probably right, there are people that would still not know about it. Thank you for notifying us!
The second poster is right.
Everyone knows.
You lucky bastards.. i live in europe.. and we will never get the EVO4
I just love the fact that people come in here just to bash me... I expected people to bash me but its not like I care; I personally have better things to do than lurk around looking for people to pick on for no reason. I just wanted to point it out for anyone that didn't already know. I am sure there will be a few people who were happy to be informed about it.

Don't bother, EVO4 has nothing much in general than HD2 ! Even Sprint doesn't have that 4G network yet
maybe work will start on porting winmo to evo

Pretty much this. I have a sprint overdrive (3g/4g) from work and use it when im going off-site and being that I'm in SoCal (pretty big market), I'll be lucky if it even locks on to 4G. It's a good marketing tool, but to ask people to pay an extra $10/mo for 4G when the coverage is minuscule at best..is a bit outlandish. But hey, in a year or so, 4G has to compete with HSPA+ and LTE, so don't lose sleep over data speed if you're one of those people.

Yeah, I'm sure most people on this forum are well aware of the EVO. Most people on xda keep pretty up to date. I don't know how the OP just found out... even my brother, who has no real interest in phones or gadgets, knows about it. Plus this is the HD2 section... there's no reason to post about this in the HD2 section. There is already an EVO section on xda, I believe.
people.. tone down.. keep it clean and friendly.. the man was sharing some info.. let it be.. no harm no foul..

EVO has been found to eat battery faster than HD2 due to 4G high-speed... Do not buy it...

Just what the title says. Everybody else got what they want in the wp7 i want my phone section up here. That is not too much to ask is it?
I think they are adding boards when the phone is released / becomes popular.
They should add all the new wp7 phones soon.

Im not quite sure now. I'm hearing two different sizes i was told 3.6 and also 3.8 so i don't know. Either way its still will be a upgrade from my i637 jack.
Is this LG Quantum, LTE capable so when AT&T rolls out LTE, we don't have to change our phones?
I hate to upgrade and pay $199 only to find out that it will stay on 3G.
