I'd give up 4G that I can't get where I live anyway, if they'd give back the $10/mo I have to pay.
I wanted this phone mostly for the 4.3" screen. The 4G isn't all that important to me.

I would actually bet money that that is their first LTE phone. They're supposed to be releasing a LTE aka 4G phone this November, this might be it.
I kinda want to go steal me one right now..
Once you get 4g you will never want to be without it. I am getting 3mb - 11mb everywhere and I am amazed at the speed difference in all apps.
This is exactly the evo with a bigger kickstand (which I would love a bigger kickstand, one that can support it in portrait mode would be killer)

That phone does look nice! But not nice enough to switch over to the price of their plans! And their crappy service! In my area anyway....
I doubt that's gonna be on verizon. It looks VERY European GSM esque and it has a front facing camera.

Okay i LOVE my nexus one and the evo is essentially another android phone so this is why im considering the switch ( i will never own a non-android phone!)
anywho, the reason for this isnt the phone itself. where i live, tmobile's service is crappy as hell! So the only phone that catches my eye is the evo. what do you guys think of the evo and sprint's coverage itself? 4G would be pretty cool too

Nice screen, kind of huge phone. I hear the battery is beyond bad. Personally I don't like Sense UI but that is easily remedied. I would see who has the best coverage in you area and go from there. T-mobile isn't even an option where I live hardly any coverage at all. Sprint has great coverage here and the 3G is fast too. Verizon also has good coverage and 3G here. AT&T has only Edge where I live. Many factors to consider.

If signal reception is your ONLY concern then by all means go for it. IMHO Evo4G sucks epic. Its android yes, but its by no means an N1 replacement. Quadrant scores are lower and batt life is like having double a's in a hugh ass maglight, it just doesnt make sence. You could rom it with CM6 but it will never ever get close to how smooth and clean a N1 looks and runs. I have my hands on alot of Evo's almost daily and would never even think of downgrading. Tmob might have spotty service but thats a small price to pay for owning an epic phone.

Unlimited internet with throttling over 5 GB - I think it forces edge after that point. Plus you don't pay extra for HSPA+. If you pay month to month, it's very cheap. If you get a Nexus 1 and I think S (since you can undetectably use cheap non-smart phone data plans), it can be significantly cheaper than Sprint.

Sadly this is the truth. I so want the g2, and would drop the evo in a hearbeat for a g2 on sprint.
Virgin has full coverage here in NYC. I don't talk a lot. I use a lot of text/gtalk. They have 25$ plans. The processor/gpu is the same as the thunderbolt. I was going to wait on the nexus 3 but if the Triumph comes out and someone can get CM on it somehow- I might pick it up.
I know the Triumph (Thunderbolt specs) and the Nexus 3 (supposed quad core) are totally different but for 25 a month- that's very attractive.
I know this place will be pro-Vibrant and most likely pro nexus since its a dev device but if the Triumph can get a 2nd init install of Cm or MIUI- why not?
Thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I am really tempted to pay my etf and make the switch to VM because the service (virgin mobile which uses Sprint's network) is a lot better then T-mobile's in my area. I've heard the Triumph also is running stock android, so thats a plus. I say go for it, $25 a month is a very good deal and VM has a 30 day returm period, so if you don't like it you can return your phone.
How much does that phone go for?

I think Virgin has a 30 day period to return the phone if you don't like it. It would be nice to try it. Worse comes to worse and you don't like it, return it and you're only losing the 25$ for that month.

As much as I don't like verizon's phones. They have the fastest mobile network in the US hands down (LTE and not CDMA). Their devices average 12Mbs, and can hit up to 21Mbs. There's really no contest there. T-mo and the others can't do that today.
First, this is my first post in this sub-forum, as I have a fascinate, but I just wanted to point out 2 things about this phone and Virgin Mobile in general:
1. Sprint has wonderful service in my area, better than AT&T and T-Mobile, but not as good as Verizon. I DO know that I am willing to have one less bar and slower data to save $60 a month. Also, I don't travel where Sprint doesn't have service, so roaming is a non-factor to me, although to some people that should be a pretty big point, as VM doesn't roam out of sprint's network (trade offs... pfft)
2.Virgin Mobile's android phones follow a trend, sell the phone for ~ 50% of retail. I'll prove it:
Optimus S $299 | Optimus V $149 and Samsung Transform (Sprint no longer offers the Intercept) $350 | Samsung Intecept $199 (I see it all the time on sale at BB for $175)
What this leads me to believe is you simply need to find the equivalent phone and simply slash it's price in half, +/- $50. I believe the EVO is the closest match, so take half of that price and you get roughly $225, according to Sprint. Therefore, I believe the triumph will be $250.
What do you all think?
the phone will be sold for $299.99
you can pre-order it now on bestbuy's website.
just go there and search for "motorola triumph"
I'm kinda pissed that the price is so high, but unlimited data, text, and web for 25 a month... will make up the difference in a few months on the money you save from paying your normal phone bill.
If it can't be rootrom'd then im gonna wait for the nexus 3.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I wouldn't, what most people don't know is how these carriers are able to sell the phones for so little money. For example, the rumor touch is 100 bucks for virgin mobile while the off-contract price for the rumor touch on sprint is 250 in most stores, how are they able to do that? the answer is different parts, not just different brands, also lower quality, which is why most people who have a prepaid phone have the most phone problems, there's not a single prepaid phone in the last 3 years that I've seen with no serious problems. While the same can be said for post paid versions in this case it is much worse on prepaid smartphones.
Ask anyone who repairs/mods cellphones, most of the time they won't mess with prepaids :/
The reason those companies sell it higher at full price is to try to get you into their contract.I have never had a problem with a prepaid phone.I personally don't mind getting it cheaper without the contract.I also will dev or work on any phone prepaid or not.I am looking forward to the Triumph, finally there will be a nice spec'd phone on prepaid.While I am happy with th Optimus V I was already looking to use it as a donor for another phone.But with this coming out, I'll just sell my V and get it.Though I'm sure it will have a locked bootloader as long as it can be temp rooted to remove bloatware I'll be very happy.

Wow.. it's actually true.. I am going to get sad..
Unlike a forum for a certain car, like My old Mustang or M3, I know this will be a forever goodbye as I will never get another EVO..
I'm leaving..
After enough BS with Sprint, the promises of 4G, I'm done..
T-mobile, which is lightning fast for my area (down load speeds of 9-12 are not un common)
is having a sale this weekend.. Free phones.. any of them..
i'm getting the GSII
and pretty excited.
But I realized.. For over a year I've been modding and theming, roming, kerneling and radioing with you guys..
Now, its over..
It sucks because there is almost no development for the GSII on T-mobile..
I was gonna wait for the Nexus that Sprint said was going to come this month, now they say mid 2012..
Plus, ZERO LTE.. I don't trust them..
Either way.. I'm out..
thanks for all the help and to dev's you guys are awesome..
P.S. selling my EVO for 50 bucks..
Good luck and totally understand why you're doing this. What I find truly sad is that an awesome phone like the Evo sells for $50, yet an outdated POS like iPhone 3G still sells for $200+ on craigslist.

I've been with sprint for 12 years...and i'm considering moving to another carrier. I feel like gsm will be my next step. i'm so pissed that they're running this company into the ground. wimax was such a bad idea.. i'm just gonna smoke a bowl and try to forget that it takes 10 minutes for my phone to download a facebook update, and google music barely ever streams properly.. yo at least the call quality is still superb though.
Not ALL the TMobile phones are free. The G SII is 229.00, according to their website
Totally understand the need for speed. Here in eastern NC, we're never gonna get 4G of any kind, so I'll stick with Sprint, as their service in this area is second to none and their prices are outstanding.
Gikd luck with the move. If you still feel the need I'm willing to take that evo off your hands. I can help you out with that. Let me know so sorryy to see you go. pm me.

Me too.. was with Sprint for 11 years..
I was suckered into the EVO.. Promised (by not only the sales guy but customer service too) that 4G would be in my area within month..
I was asked to pay 10 bucks more a month.... Call it what you want, it was for the 4G!!!
I was going to wait and get the Nexus as I was told its coming this month, I was even told LTE is going to be spread like a wild fire and by the end of 2012 it will be all over the united states..
Then go look at their site, they show a video of where LTE will be installed.. not even in my state..
I got this phone today.. Its sexy as hell.. My download speeds which I've done about 30 now, lol, vary from 22 down 5 up to the lowest of , 6 down 1.5 up..

Now if you have no problem going and paying more elsewhere and having data caps/throttling then more power to ya.
A site for some very solid sprint network info that I've run across is "s4grub.com" as there is a wealth of detailed information there, most of which you couldn't even get from sprint themselves.

Wow, I have 5 lines with Sprint and was looking to change over. Just will cost me a few hundred to get out of 3 of the lines. Good luck!!

Been hearing the same **** about "plain old" 4G for the last 3 years. Now miraculously Sprint is going to be "complete" with ANYTHING?
I won't hold my breath.
Or maybe I will at least until May when my Sprint contract is up....

No i don't think it is. Even though the call signal/quality might be superb

I say wait for it to be up on amazonwireless/wirefly/letstalk. Though I was expecting them to charge 250$, they always charge 50$ for the keyboard fee. Considering that we most likely won't be seeing any other keyboard phones for a year (sprint already has 3 with this one having best specs). There might not be much choice.
What's funny I was in radio shack with a friend today... they are selling the og epic for $20.00.

Why is it funny? it is always cheaper through a retailer then directly. You can get it for 1 penny on amazon. The only downside ordering it through a 3rd party is if you cancel after 30 days but before 180 days you pay 200$+ extra to cancel.

a no go for the following reason:
1) motorolla device with no confirmed unlocked bootloader
2) non-removable battery is only 1785 mAh
3) only 1GB RAM
So, unless these specs are wrong.... not worth it, IMO

#1 Not true, it has been confirmed that the Photon Q 4GLTE will be Motorola's first unlockable bootloader.
http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/07/26/unlock-the-bootloader-on-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte/
That said, I still won't buy it, most likely.
Sprint posted a deal on the Motorola Photon Q. If you pre-order and add a line you get a $100 amex gift card so may be worth it if your on a family plan.
2 people told me today they are waiting for the iPhone 5...
God have mercy on their souls...

Simpletons will be Simpletons. Im waiting on the new Nexus, which should come soon after they release the Iphone5 lol.
Unless I think this phone is worth it...and they drop the price to $100 no mail in rebate.

Thanks, that was always a concern when it came to Motorola, at least IMO
Still, considering you can get an Epic for $100 off contract and run CM10 on it, and a SGS3 for $150 via Amazon/Best Buy, I am kinda unwilling to risk jumping on board another phone with slim development prospects, until I hear otherwise. Perhaps if CM accepts the device...

My main interest is because of WORLD phone. I can us e GSM on travel and makes life much easier. I wish GS3 had GSM slot. I read that there is some long way of getting there with GS3.
i would have been willing to put up with Motorola shenanigans if the thing was 720p, but it's only QHD
looks like i'll have to go with a NOKB phone.
in other news, i know someone who will LOOOOVE the Kyocera Rise on VM... $99!?!? cut the check!

Is the lte sim card user accessible? If so, you can probably use gsm from there, just like on some verizon droids not advertising gsm capability.

Doesn't it have a locked GSM slot? I remember hearing something about Verizon version being hacked to use GSM in europe. I doubt sprint version is any different, but your gonna have to research it.
How does the qHD screen compare to AMOLED???? No one has answered this for me.

This isn't true. LG has a keyboard phone in the pipeline called the Cayenne.
The Photon is a no-go for me due to embedded battery. As it is I need to use an extended battery with the Epic and always carry a spare for backup.
When batteries were always replaceable I considered physical keyboard my deal breaker. Now replaceable battery is my deal breaker. I'd like a keyboard too, but if I *HAD* to choose between keyboard and replaceable battery I'd go with the replaceable battery. Keyboard does me no good if the phone is dead...
