that nexus one is looking real sexy ::mouth waters::
don't know if it'll come to sprint this year or not, I suppose there is a hope if it goes to big red.
I'll probably pick up a hero with a bad esn in the summer after more android phones come out for sprint and it gets cheap, and swap the esn with an old phone I've got and run it on my sero plan. it'll be the trusty old vogue-droid until then.

I don't think that I could own a non-htc device after being spoiled for so long with my vogue, so that knocks the moto droid out I've seen more than one report saying this spring for Nexus 1 on Verizon so hopefully there's no funny business lol.. T-mobiles offering it for 179.00 on new contract but I bet it's 299.99 at least on VZW with upgrade.

Isn't this the dude who got pissed off with Android on a daily basis, and swore on a weekly basis that he was never going to use Android again? I can't sleep and decided to check out things on the Vogue forum since I've been gone. Good to see fixxxer2008's still providing entertainment.
Also, although I can't make calls with it, I've still got my Vogue. I think I'll try a NAND flash on it just to see how everyone's hard work has been paying off.

List of Phones slated to get Froyo

http://www.androidcentral.com/officially-unofficial-android-22-upgrade-list
Our beloved Hero isn't on the list, but the MyTouch3G Slide is, perhaps that will mean an easy port eh?

Hmm. The Hero isn't in any of the categories... I guess the Evo buried the other Sprint Androids.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

upgrade is comin soon debatin on what to get

so my upgrade is due in a couple months and im not sure what i wanna get
so my choices are
evo
epic
hero 2
as of now those are the only ones i see worth lookin at
anyone know of any other phones comin out?
i love my hero but i know ima want a faster phone eventually
so confused =\

I'd wait. I'm holding out for the Desire. I don't want a giant phone but I don't want a slow phone.

i heard the desire is goin to At&t though

The epic looks pretty epic. It seems to fix a bunch of issues with the evo.

looks and sounds cool.... but..... why... you would think the evo is a better phone.... looks like the hero 2 is a small upgrade to what we already have.... my upgrade is in about two months.. im thinking the evo...

That post is from February. I doubt the Legend will show up as the Hero 2.
Hopefully there will be some new devices out for the Holidays.

that's not the hero2 or 3. there is no such thing. that is the legend that has been rumored to come to sprint since february. it's not going to come with those low end specs anyways.

because the processor is twice as fast..
I notice lag with the hero that the evo doesn't wince at.
dont' get me wrong I really like the hero.. but when multiple programs arent' killed off, I notice the lag the most.
the evo is much better than the hero.. even if you add some things to it.
now if you took the evo's processor and put it in hero.. i might be inclinded to
argue, that ti's debatable which is better.

I'm due for an upgrade in October and it's a toss up between the Evo and the Epic...

the legend isn't coming, it was a rumor. i too hope we get some different android phones by x-mas. im due for my upgrade nov 1st.

I'm wondering when/if Sprint is gonna pit out any more 3g phones. 4th is nice, but is not in my area. Although I 'm close enough to a 4g area that if I get an evo i'll get charged the extra $10 a month.

Is this an android phone?

Link to picture: http://www.cellphonesmarket.com/new...n-Sprint-for-79.99-with-a-2-year-contract.jpg
The Motorola i886. Its a nextel direct connect phone that i saw while looking at sprints phone shop online. However, i noticed it looks exactly like android, and when i looked at the guide, it has a notifications key, 3 homescreens, widgets, etc. Just curious, cause they never mention android when talking about the phone.

Yes. It runs android 1.5 but without a touchscreen, it's so heavily modded it's barely recognizable as Android.

Yeah, that's why I came here. I thought it was, but then I thought "Well maybe, moto took their experience with android and created a cheap look alike for it", so then I wasn't sure. Lol that's a weird look for android though. I'd rather have the i1 if I was using nextel.

Actually no, there wasn't even an implied update, that was why I had to convince my friend (in construction) to get the hell away from Nextel's awful selection.

Blame LG keyboard on the G Pro lol. A lot of people use there phones now days when away from computer to post here lol
Not sure why everyone wants the bootloader unlocked, I mean right now there is no reason to do so at all. And on top of that my last 3 phones this year have had locked bootloaders, but that didn't stop me from using international Roms, or Roms in general cause of Loki support or whatever its called lol

I'm curious as well about Loki. I'm not sure if it relies on the snapdragon 600 chipset or if its a baseband thing. May be something to look into. I'm not familiar enough with it.
Myself- I would be more than happy if loki works on our devices. Please, LG, let it work!
edit:
~just did a quick search... Loki relies on the Qualcomm APQ8064T.. or snapdragon 600 per Dan himself. dang.
Edit 2:
The 'other' LG devices it works on dont all have the 600.. so again, its possible. Hrm...

Possible unless Qualcomm fixed the exploit on the 800s
