Woohoo! Go Evo! The only thing the iphone 4 has going for it is the handy end call button on the side.

Yeah, that made me doubt the polls a bit...

Voted. I can't believe they pitted these two from the start! This shoulda been the epic final! Hahaha

Doesn't seem like an apple site, evo's doing well so far, voted.

Dont look like they kept this going....wonder why? Could it be iphone got its ass kicked didn't wanna give it bad publicity are they afraid of apple suing them.....

its still going they just make a new page for each match instead of it being 1 page. look around you should see the rest in about 2 weeks evo vs gaalxy s should be going
the funny thing on most of the surveys they get around 800-1200 votes the evo they had around 6000. evo won with almost 90%

Could this be the big announcement??

Came across this article and it got me thinking. Sprint has a huge announcement to make very soon, and says they are making the impossible possible. My first thought was a glasses free 3D phone. And this just got me really exited for it. HTC wants to be the first to do a 3D phone, the article picture shows an Android phone, and by the coloring its all white and the woman is wearing a yellow scarf. Something Sprint loves to do in tv commercials. Could it possibly be?? Here's the link...

I sure hope not. If the successor to the EVO is a 3D phone, I will move on to one of the dual cores that was just announced. 3D is a gimmick, and a cheesy one at that. Definitely do NOT want it on my phone.

Sprint is claiming an industry first. This isn't an industry first. There's already a glassless 3D Android phone in Japan made by Sharp.

I had no clue, I didn't hear anything about a phone like that. I was just thinking if the Nintendo 3DS is like that then why can't a phone.

Duel cote, bigger battery, 4.5 screen, and all that stuff plus 3D wouldn't be bad for an EVO2. Hell throw in a projector too, even though its not a first.
But if 3D isn't an industry first, then I'm back to being lost lol.

If they implement it properly then yeah, that's one thing. But look at what happened with HDMI. For a while we sacrificed our FPS so they could put a practically useless HDMI port on the phone. I hope there isn't a trade off like that with 3D. I have yet to see a parallax barrier display in person, but from what I have read about it I doubt that won't have a negative effect on how the screen looks with the 3D turned off, which is what i'm worried about. Heck the parallax barrier is a physical lens in front of the screen, how can you turn that off?

Stop making threads about the announcement. They will reveal the release date for the first CDMA WP7, which is an Industry first.

That's a good point. I wouldn't want it on all the time, just for show. But again with the 3DS, it suppose to have a on/off switch for the 3D effect so a setting in the phone should be able to do the same.

In that case, forget it. A cdma windows phone surely isn't a big enough announcement fit such a hyped up event.

Exactly, make it just as good as all these other new phones coming out, hell just make it better then the new phones specs, and throw on the 3D with the right settings and screen effects and you have a hit. Beats all the new phones coming out. I'll upgrade for it. But if its not dual core and stuff and only 3D I wouldn't bother.

Japans market has nothing to do with our market. Just because another foreign market accomplish something already doesnt mean Sprint can't claim first in USA where it does matter for us.

I agree 3D phone screen will just be a gimmick, like the HDMI and mini projector on that LG phone.
It will be a phone that brews coffee, its been leaked.

Yes it does sound interesting. I would be disappointed also if this were to be the device. Just not into any type of tablet, "industry first" or whatever. Not to mention I can't stand anything with any type of hinge to it. Just something else to be problematic and break. I want dual cores, not screens.

If it was done right a 4.x" phone that converts to an 8.x" tab would be cool but I don't see "them"coming up with a good enough solution for coupling them to work as one big screen. If it feels like using a Nintendo DS then I won't be parting with an upgrade for it.

omg, dual screen tablet! hell yeah!
you might not think it would be cool at first but think of the possibilities!
run an app on one screen and browse on another, or be typing out something on one and using the second to show reference material, or have one be the screen and other be a touch keyboard, dungeon defenders on one and IM on the other,
best reason -> xda on one and the other be waiting on that f#@&in 1 min timer for the download websites
aosp on one screen, sense on the other

Dual-Screen Android Tablet Sprint’s “Big Announcement” for February 7th?
7 Comments 18 January 2011 by Dylan Bailey
Worth Reading?
+3 [3 votes]
Just last week Sprint sent out an email to the press inviting them to a special event where they will release an “Industry First.” The internet went crazy with rumors as to exactly what this industry first could be. Was it a 4G iPhone? Probably not, all Android sites were invited to the event. Now we may have a little bit more information as to exactly what it could be – a dual-screen Android tablet.
According to someone apparently close to the matter, the announcement will be a device and will feature the following:
It has large screens- think somewhere between the Evo and the Galaxy Tab.
It actually has dual screens- there’s a primary one but then also a secondary screen that flips up from the back, like on a hinge.
No word on what that second screen does, if it integrates with the primary screen to give you one big screen, or if you can run an app on each, or what. Sorry I couldn’t get more details.
No official word on if it’s voice-capable, or if it’s some kind of tablet/slate.
Also of note, HTC has been in the headlines supposedly preparing a 3D device. Could this be the device? Two screens for a 3D effect? If so, this would even tie in with the whole David Blaine theme of illusions, eye tricks, etc.
What do you think? Could this be a dual-screen tablet? Would a dual-screen tablet be a viable option in the competitive market? Let us know!

lol...didnt think of that.

Well, this could be good news. If it is a dual screen, it could also mean that its dual core?
Hopefully its marketed as a phone, and not a tablet (has calling, texting, etc..)

Ok, so apparently no one else thought to show that this is NOT an industry first:
Dualbook anyone?

That thing is e-ink, its not running Android, and finally is not a phone (I'm wishing here ).
Toshiba and Acer showed off dual screen devices at CES. Neither of them were classified as a tablet (both classified as dual screen laptops) , neither of them run Android, and neither of them have phone capabilities.
I've always dreamed of a phone that folded open (clamshell) with a continuous screen (using flexible AMOLED display) but we are a long way from that.

Ugh, not sure what to make of that. Will wait and hold off the hate until I hear more. Provided it's true.
I'm scared.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

funny part is NONE of the facebook sprint people are made a post normally some says something wrong and BOOM 3 or 4 sprint people post defending ... NOTHING tonight lol

Yep and check out the Youtube site. I don't like wishing bad on anyone but somebody needs taken to wood shed on this. I simply can't believe how horrible an idea this was.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk7nf6TNHH4

I will agree that the Echo is a big disappointment, and I comment on sprints facebook that way.
After watching that youtube, (before that all I saw was the one pic showing off the huge hinge) the echo does look kinda cool. It's the processer, and the rest of the specs are weak.
Has anybody seen how much RAM/ROM it has? Also is that the second gen snapdragon, like the 800mhz one in the G2? The running two seperate screens at once is kinda cool.

Someone needs to be fired.

NVM, read it wrong

Epic fail in my book, Ill just keep my Evo until they release something worth upgrading to...

I find it hard to believe that there wasnt a handful of people at sprint that thought this was a terrible idea. I wonder it this was a one or two man mainshow as far as approval of the idea of the phone.
There is literally one or two positive comments amongst hundreds of borderline verbally "violent" comment against the Echo.
Makes you wonder if Dan just said "We are doing this phone, if you dont like it then your fired" or if the even did any market testing????

Seriously? This is what Sprint got all excited about. A single screen dual core phone would have been much, much more exciting.

I think Kyocera makes the best music....listen to the song they have on the youtube ad....It's great! I feel like I'm back in the '80s!

im pretty sure majority of sprint agreed that it was a failure, but kyocera pushed money and persuasion into this event.... im willing to bet sprint wanted nothing to do with this phone and kyocera paid for the event, not sprint.

So was this the equivalent of being rick rolled by sprint? I never expected to get trolled by my own phone company, they should know its bad business to play with peoples emotions when you are trying to get money from them.
But then again this is the same company who called the epic, well, the epic.

[FAKE] Evo 3D or Amazon Blaze?

update: apparently this is one big hoax. lame.
http://www.buzzingup.com/2011/04/amazon-to-announce-android-phone-blaze-in-august-2011/
I was pretty certain that the EVO 3D would be next phone, so much so that I upgraded my plan so I could maintain gold premiere status so I could upgrade in June. Now, I see Amazon is releasing a phone. Not just any phone either, possibly the most spectacular sounding phone I've read about. I guess this doesn't come as a surprise seeing as they just launched their own app store. I wonder which carrier this will come to? Please be Sprint! Anyone else on the fence about this? I mean SOLAR POWER? I think that sounds better then 3D, for my use anyway. Now that I know 3D will only be for movies and pictures, it sounds way less appealing. I was hoping for a 3D interface.

E3D for me. No 2nd thoughts

It's interesting but it seems like a prototype.
And I think we all know how that goes.
If it comes to the market and proves itself then maybe down the line Amazon can be a respect phone manufacturer.
