Soon to be Former iPhone User! - EVO 4G General

Hey everyone!
I've been following Anroid for a while and when Google announced the N1 for AT&T I almost bit but decided to hold off for the SuperSonic... Now I know I'm jumping ship!
My contract is up this summer and I'm going to get this phone. I don't care how much it is. I highly doubt that Apple has anything up their sleeve this good.
Anyway, I've been very into the jailbreaking community for the iPhones and have gathered that this is the place to be for information on Android phones, so I'm coming over and posting to say hi and join the rest of you waiting for this phone to hit pockets around the USA.

This is like when darth vader turns good.

Is he our father?
Trust your feelings (or something like that).

Nice I joined

I like to say goodbye to my iPhone too, but HTC won't bring a GSM version to Australia.
Yes, there has been tens of so called iPhone killers in the past, but I think this is the only one that I really take serious notice, and would not hesitate switching to. Just unfortunate that they don't have a world model.
Why would HTC not first concentrate on a GSM model as it usually does? After all, anyone travelling around would require it to be a GSM model rather than CDMA model, I would have thought. This phone is useless if you travel a lot.

wait for nexus one to be useable in your countries, it's been said it's comming for certain to most countires. It's going to be the "universal android phone" There may be some who have already figured out how to use it in some way/shape/form on the frequencies you use. A little research will provide the answer.
Waiting for a cdma, sprint exclusive phone to come to your country... yea... good luck with that. Nexus one will have almost everything this has minus the .5 inch difference in screen size, hdmi out, and kickstand. And some senceUI if that's your thing. I know this is for the EVO but this phone just ain't gonna happen in your country unless you're america.
Crying about why CDMA was chosen over GSM, do you realize the only android phones sprint has are still running 1.5, and have outdated processors in them? Yea **** those CDMA guys and their lousy network.... I'm on GSM and I need 5 superphones, you CDMA guys don't deserve anything. Go back to using push to talk dumbphones... you freaking douches :rollseyes:

I'm not interested in Nexus one, unfortunately. Does not have enough in it to attract me.

the evo was designed by htc and sprint, hand in hand. the market for smartphones in the US is pretty big now. and with sprint being the first to launch 4g it was only right, in a business aspect for them both to do this. it has nothing to do with gsm vs cdma. although a lot of us here in the states can agree that cdma rules over gsm! ive had both tmo and att within this last year and by far i like sprint the most. coverage, cost and now the best phone on the planet to date!

Is that so? Does it imply that HTC couldn't offer the same phone under other name to the other market then?
I had always thought that evo is just a variant of HTC Supersonic which was designed mainly by HTC, and that HTC would be free to repackage it anyway it sees fit for the other market.
I've not personally used a CDMA phone myself as it is rather uncommon in our part of the world, so we don't really have the option of using it even if it is really better than GSM.

I'm guessing that the Supersonic was the code name for the Evo 4G. I like the HTC Bravo was the code name for the Desire. And the HTC Passion/Dragon was the code name for the Nexus One.

i was disappointed at first to hear that verizon would be getting nexus one and not sprint. but with the fact that we'll get 2.1 soon makes it okay for me. plus i'm really just waiting for another great qwerty android device that isn't all blocky like the moto droid.

AT&T isn't getting it...
Well, you can run the unlocked one on AT&T using an AT&T SIM, you just don't get 3G access cause the phone is tri-band not quad, and only meant for T-Mobile's 3G.
Got beat to the punch...
What keeps me waiting patiently is talks of qualcom bringing out dual-core 1.5ghz snapdragon cpu later this year, it'll make the nexus old news before you know it.
Dual core snapdragon would be insanity. Great stuff. I'll tell you something though. I am upset with the fact that Sprint isn't getting any of these cool phones either but they historically never have. I mean Palm is a little different because they have always loved Sprint but historically Sprint has never really had the latest and greatest. This could be a good thing though. I mean think about it. Sprint knows Android is big. They also know 2010 is their coming out party for WiMax. My theory is that Sprint is waiting for HTC to come out with a WiMax or EVDO/WiMax hybrid android phone. I expect by summer or, more likely, fall 2010 we will have the latest and greatest WiMax capable 1Ghz+ Android 2.1 (2.5 if it's released by then) phone. I figure by then I can sell my Hero and, assuming I have a job by then, by the coolest phone.
It's all a waiting game. Sad but that's what it all comes down to.
Yeah, Gizmodo has rumors of a Sprint WiMax HTC Android phone.. and from now on obviously HTC will have Snapdragons or better on all their flagship phones. We'll have a better phone than Nexus One with WiMax, which no other carrier will have.. thinkabout it.
In the mean time, embrace in the fact that we had the Hero when nobody else did.
I heard lots of problems of N1.
Google is hurry for the cellphone market.

I work for Sprint and its true about the Android 4g phone it will be comming up and it will be a LG phone don't know name on it but it will be hitting stores when 4g is mostly everywhere.:.

Dude, most definitely it won't be a LG phone. They make **** phones to begin with.

It will be HTC. For sure.
wow dual core 1.5ghz processor..dont think its really necessary since the iphone has full 3d insane graphic games with 600mhz processor..1ghz is great for me..
im seriously wanting to go to tmobile for that nexus one..but that $570 is just killing me and i am not going to pay $80 a month for phone..much rather pay $39 for unlimited internet and just use voip because i have great 3g coverage down here in irvine
i work for sprint to =)
and yes the android device with wiimax WILL be an htc device but also
LG will be making an android device for us called the Prada 3
i think when our hero's get the 2.1 update we will be caught up....thats all we need to catch up i think
sprint HAS to get an android phone with the snapdragon proc..

any word on when these will hit the market ????
Agree'd, once we get 2.1 it will be great.
Sprint already carries smart phones from Motorola, Samsung, LG, Blackberry and HTC, plus they just added the HTC Touch Pro2. How many smart phones do they need? People need to stop shopping equipment and start thinking about service, rate plans, Monthly fee's, coverage areas and customer assistance, not to mention the reputation of the carrier. Damn, we all pay a monthly bill, its not for the phone we use, its the service plan we all have that compliments whatever phone equipment you want or have. Sprint has given us a nice selection to pick from imo.
Moving on, next topic pls........
looking forward to a 4g HTC Bravo!

one problem with that statement......4g wont be "mostly everywhere" fo a couple more years. Planned for 2010 are Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. and only a handful of other smaller cities.

chinless hero?

hi,
i'm form the uk and seriously looking to get one of these phones or anything running android, in the last month i have used 2(3) devices i have had a blackberry 8900 (running beta os) and a htc touch hd (running both android and winmo) the android on my htc hd is very very very very buggy and fails to unlock nearly every time meaning it needs a full re boot but from what i've seen from it i loooooove android and have decided to go for android over an iphone my budget is pretty much any thing under £300 but i am willing to go over, i have looked at both the hero and the magic i am tempted by the magic just because it is cheaper but hero with multi touch is irresistible. but heres my question. i've seen the sprint hero which i believe is chinless and well i prefer the look of that does anyone know where i can get one of them in the uk, or does anyone have any other recommendations of phones i would like? also as you can probably guess i have the beta bug and love using cutstom roms and firmwares i have been using android 2.1 on my htc hd so is this available for this device?
sorry if this question has been asked 1000 times but i couldn't seen to find a search button
The GSM ones all have it.

The Sprint Hero is a CDMA device as opposed to GSM - there are *no* CDMA networks in the UK full stop, so it would never work in the UK.
Note for the pedants - W-CDMA is part of the GSM standard, but W-CDMA <> CDMA, though the technologies are very similar! So, when I say no CDMA networks, I'm referring to networks like Sprint and Verizon in the US.

Dave

thanks for your help mate looks like ill just have to go with the chined hero which i don't like as much.
Hey Slaming,
You will grow to love the chin. It stops the screen from getting scratched when you lie it face down, it makes it more comfortable to hold when texting and makes it curve around your thigh when it's in your pocket.
Do yourself a favour and get the Hero asap!
Cheers,

Ahmen to that, i had the same feelings when i first got the hero, for me it was a choice of Hero or HD2, but the HD2 had WinMo, and though i would like to have a play with WinMo7 when its out, Android secured the deal for the hero, but after a week or so, i changed my mind on the chin, its quite usefull, now the only reasons i hate it is because it dont fit in the accessories that well, but i can over look that, its not a big deal.
I actually prefer the chin. It makes the Back button a little easier to reach when you're holding the phone with one hand, and it's a button you'll use a lot. It also looks pretty cool and a couple of girls have asked me "hey what kinda phone is that" whereas the CDMA Hero just looks like any other phone.
yeah i'm definatly going with a hero now all i have to do is pay of my mum for my mac then save another £350 ish for a new hero which should all be good btw i am 15 so i'm not like 30 and have a loan of my mum lol
edit:
wow nexus one only £10 extra i think i might be going nexus one but is there any diffrence between hero and nexus one bar multi touch because i know multi touch is meant to work now with the new update

As much as I love my Hero, i'd go with the nexus one for its faster processor, dual mics, and beautiful screen. Of course, there are cool new phones coming out all the time, so do yourself a favor and save up some money now so you're ready when the new htc stuff arrives.
chin makes hero stand out from the rest of the mobiles out there!

There's always new stuff coming out, if you wait for the next batch of phones, they'll have announced the next next batch, and you'll never end up buying anything. I think if there's something you like, just get it, and if you really really like something that comes out in the future, just buy that too or sell what you already have and buy the new one.

G1 died today.....what phone to get

So ya i was hoping my G1 would survive till an android phone with the 1ghz cpu was released to t-mobile in store, but it didn't make it. Unfortunately i cant get the Nexus in the t-mobile store, which i think was a terrible idea on google's side, but whatever. What other android phone you guys think would be a great device to have?
got the wife a Behold 2, and its AWESOME.....after i rooted it and put a custom rom on it. The mytouch is ok. reminds me a lot of the G1. Ill never buy a motorola product ever again.......does anyone know of any other android devices coming out for t-mobile anytime soon?
thanks a ton for the time!
cheers!
The HD2? It's Winmo but these clever minds here on XDA will soon put Android on it, I'm pretty sure.
I felt the MT3G is a vast difference from G1, and you can check out the 1.2 version as well.

It sounds like we may be in similar situations, this is what I am thinking:
Im wondering the same thing. i have a mytouch, and wife now needs a new phone. Not getting the nexus bc of the family plan we have, and not gonna spend $500 on it.
Since it does not look like tmobile is coming out with any new (nexus like performance) phones really soon, this is what I think we are going to do, maybe good for you too:
I think we are going to find a mytouch on craigslist (like mine). hopefully for around $150. root it so that it runs good, and wait for tmobile to come out with something good, then use upgrade to get discount on new phone. Then sell the mytouch (purchased from craigslist) on ebay for about the same, if not more...
sounds like we are in the similar situations, so figured i would share about the only option I can see would be good. What do you think? good luck

No, it was a very good idea. T-Mobile would lock it down and not let it be used on any other carrier, without unlocking. I'm sure you know that a large portion (probably around 60 - 70%, if not, more) of all cell phone users have never even HEARD of unlocking. Not being on just one carrier = more buyers. More buyers = more money.

Aside from the CDMA junk, both GSM versions are happy to work on other networks, not just the one whose 3G band is compatible.
I.e., the tmobile3G version is compatible with ATT2G, and the ATT3G version is compatible with tmobile2G. They are both compatible with INTERNATIONAL2G and some 3G.
Further, if you decide to go to.... europe, or wherever, with an unlocked phone, you can buy a LOCAL SIMCARD and it will work IFF your phone is unlocked.
But there is MORE TO BEING UNLOCKED than just sim-unlocked. There is also FIRMWARE unlocked, and with GN1, it is TRIVIAL -- "fastboot oem unlock" is the command. This allows you to load CUSTOM FIRMWARE to the device.... which is not possible with a carrier-branded device.
If you like the phone, buy it from google. They are a very reputable seller.
Expect this in the future though: as 2G dies away, you will start to see 3G-only devices with full 6-band 3G radios -- 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100. These devices, when they appear, will be universal.

Did you bother to even read wtf you quoted? That's one of the most pathetic responses I've ever had the pain of reading.
Unless I misunderstood what you're trying to say. As of now... That's exactly what I said. They make more money like that instead of it just being T-Mobile. Or are they about to start putting out a different phone better than N1?

No, the Desire is going to be exclusive to Verizon in the US, thus cannot be used on T-Mobile because it is CDMA.
HD2
Heck yeah the HD2 is awsome, even though its not android. Like somebody above said people here at XDA will find a way to put android on it. That HUGE screen is amazing.
If you ask T-Mobile they are sure to say that one of their "lovely" blur devices is what you want, kindly kick their shin and spit on them if they do
and then Toot and, oh, I apologize, TWEET and inform us what phone you got on your way to jail.

JUST FYI, NO U.S.A carriers has been announced for the Desire or Legend and since HTC wants this to be their "super phone" it will most likely be GSM since it will be world compatible (on edge anyway) You are probably thinking about the HTC Incredible (A completely different phone)
Any way I would go with the HTC HD2 since it is a great device and there will be an android rom for it one day and when a great android phone comes out for t-mobile just sell the HTC HD2 (someone will buy it on XDA, you should get around $300 for it if you take care of it)

moto isn't a good company. They been saying for a few months that the droid will get the 2.1 update in a week but it has been pushed back a lot of times. They finally pushed the update but to the milestone (droid's name for other countries) so now the droid users are pissed.
I would only choose moto for an android phone as a last resort because HTC is the brand for me.
WOW! The HTC Legend looks amazing!!

I thought the supersonic/EVO was the android version of HD2.
only thing I like about the HD2 is how big the screen is...yet so thin like a razor, but I'd much rather wait...even if the devs dished out a android rom for it tonight, I don't want to waste my upgrade on a WMO phone regardless of it's value or capability...simply because I'm stubborn
As far as the Desire goes, I believe it will be coming to T-mobile and if not, more likely a universal unlocked release like the N1...but as far as the Verizon only rumor, bullsh*t. HTC would never let me down like Moto did with the Droid
I have had up close experience with the N1, (friend of mines owns it), lovely phone, simply the best Android has to offer right now until proven otherwise by a later release, but I'm not going for it
If I'm going dish $500 bucks or more for something it will most def. be the Desire...because that is what I desire

HTC Evo 4G

Ahhh, idk about this one..
I think it's too big...

Same size as the HD2, which is NOT too big...the overall dimensions of the phone are just a little taller than our N1 and about it looks like half an inch wider.

There is nothing the new iPhone that will come out this year have that will be better than the EVO!!! **** I want it
I'm personally sick of chasing phones, my n1 seems pretty cool still, nothing really kicks its arse...
Plus imo its too big.. the hd2 looked way bigger than my n1 when I compared them...
4.0 would be perfect... I most definitely ain't switching providers.... n1 for me all year unless a better processor comes out I could care less about the camera and front camera... just my opinion...
But looks cool though
I don't think the big screen is gonna be pocket friendly and HTC is just throwing phones out there that won't reach quick updates like the Nexus. Sure the Evo is better spec'd but the support the Nexus will get from Google will keep it at the top until Googles Nexus Two. I just think all these random HTC Android phones like the Incredible, Desire, and the Evo are one and done androids. They will get Android 3.0 like 8 months after the Nexus and that will most likely be it. While the Nexus is there getting fed updates.
I really am excited to see applrs response to all these amazing phones.
getting it on the first day without a doubt.
CDMA fail...
After switching from an iPhone 3gs I really have come to despise exclusivity agreements with carriers the way the EVO 4g will be. If HTC goes out of their way to make the EVO 4g available on all the carriers the way Google is going to do with the N1 then I would consider EVO 4g but otherwise I wont support that kind of shady business practice anymore. This is why I support an open company like Google which puts the customer first and gives them options they are asking for.

HTC sadly won't make it available for all 4 and doubtful if any of them but Sprint. Hopefully my predictions wrong though
Ok.. so while a couple of you have good point, it seems that the majority is in denial because you already bought the Nexus One. I own an N1 too guys...but I can honestly say that the Evo 4G is going to be a great phone for Sprint. At the end of the day, this is going to help Android increase their market share, which is what we all should be rooting for.

I own an N1 too guys...but I can honestly say that the Evo 4G is going to be a great phone for Sprint. At the end of the day, this is going to help Android increase their market share, which is what we all should be rooting for.

I didn't want to be the one to say it haha. this phone trumps the n1 in all ways except design.

nope i had 3g every i went with sprint, even in places where my verizon and at&T friends had no coverage i did ..i miss that network :/ but im glad i was able to cancel my contract through that loop hole because now i can get it subsidized and no contract with tmobile so everything is just working perfectly

No more Hero available at Sprint

I was going to get my wife a Hero before her discount expired, but when I went to the Sprint site tonight the Hero was no longer listed. I know I was there a week ago and it was there for $49.
I guess they finally ran out of stock. Which means this area might be moved again. Favorite it now!
That Sucks
Oh, it's so good though. They should at least make a second version of it

If Hero 2.0 had a dual core processor in it, how much would you like it then?
Why don't company's realize people like getting the 2nd 3rd and 4th version of things. Look at every apple product. Revise your product, add a number to it... How hard is this? By doing this you get closer and closer to a perfect device rather then creating new dislikes and problems.
I Agree with you term117. Rather than making new devices HTC should release the v2.0 of our Hero.
I was at a Sprint store about a week or two ago and they actually had one booted up and running on display, which is funny since they aren't supporting it with updates anymore... am I right? So for $50 you can purchase yourself something that the manufacturer and carrier deem outdated and not worthy of upgraded firmware.

You have to have something that people actually "like" first... which I think most people do like their Heros, and then you have to successfully make the change or leap without screwing it up. Personally I think the Hero should have less buttons. Just the four basic Android buttons would suffice, like the LG Optimus S.
I can sell you mine, I have a new EVO coming. Going to pre-order a Nexus too.. I am addicted...heading over to the Flashing Roms Everyday Anonymous Krew now. FREAK for short. lol

Actually, if you google hero 2 there was or is a hero 2 out there. I believe it only went to another country not america and I see the information is at least 1 year old. They only put a 600mhz processor in it. here is a link to the specs.

Just preordered my Nexus S 4G from Best Buy yesterday bro. That would be the one to go with in USA on CDMA. These others you are discussing are not Sprint phones.

Is there 4g service anywhere in Naptown? Airport possibly or maybe around the track or Lucas Oil Stadium?

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!
So... out of curiosity (and that's JUST what it is), if I was to have an accident with my hero, and have insurance, would they replace it with a hero, or something else?
Like an Evo?

Not sure. I could care less about the 4G part, 3g and WiFi work just fine for me. Have to pay the extra $10 no matter what phone I get anyway (sucks, but what can you do) I have liked this phone ever since the T-Mobile one was released. I was about to switch from Sprint due to the lack of new phones until this and the EVO 3d were announced. EVO 3D not due out till summer but if the size of the phone remains the same, I would not be interested in the new EVO. Like talking on a brick. Don't flame me for that. I know all the specs on the new EVO. It is impressive but size does matter.

Lol, that's what she said! *rimshot*
I've been seriously considering the nexus s, but those dual cores are a siren song for me.

Yeah, but it just has a 1ghz processor and the 5mp camera on back is fine, but a VGA in front. It is a nice looking phone, it is like a Hero dressed in all black. I would just think would have went a little higher than the 1ghz processor and they should have at least put a 1.3 mp camera in front. Maybe I am just being too picky. I am alomst due for a new phone and the EVO 3d looks nice, except for the size dealy. I agree that Sprint is lacking in telephone department and I too have thought of just going to another provider, but then I lose my ARAMARK 18% discount.

I have to agree! Dual-core then I thought don't really use my phone in away that warrants one. Nexus 4G leading followed closely by the Shift(I believe they are getting them OC'ed to bout 1.5ghz.) just my Opinion
EVO 3D for me. I liked my Hero, but the first one had jogball problems in 3 weeks, the USB port went out in the 4th week and I replaced it with one day to spare on the 30 day exchange. I only got it because I wasn't going to pay the then 4G "tax" but now since I have to pay anyway, I'm going for it.
