Keeping the faith on CM9.

Without a doubt there will be a port for ICS on this phone. Money has it that even the G1 will get a working port.
Even if there isnt a port, I plan on keeping my evo until Sprint rolls out their LTE network and the new phones are out.

My plan as well. I am not the type that needs to get a new phone at the drop of a hat, but when LTE rolls out on Sprint, that will be my queue.

The only way I'll give my evo up is if they get any kind of towers up in my area beside the junk 3g service i get now. I'm just glad I can get wifi, in just about every inch of my town that is unsecured.
I'm keeping my EVO until i have the money to switch to AT&T for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sorry that you want to go to AT&T. Been there done that. And there is a reason why I am with Sprint now.
For the people waiting for the new phones, you wont get unlimited internet since you will have to change your plan.
And yes the EVO will get ICS. HTC may even release a version for it. They just have not committed to it yet. But don't get your hopes up.

I dunno what you experienced, but everyone around me in Dallas with AT&T is pulling 5mb+ on 3G. My buddy at A&M says he's pulled even faster speeds down there. Unlimited data doesn't mean squat at less than 150kbs.
Nope. Ill probably downgrade to a 3g only phone or even VirginMobile. I use like 600MB per month cuz im always on a wifi.
HTC Evo 4G | Deck AOSP 2.3.7 | Tiamat 4.0.5-sbc
Nope. I'd start working on the ICS build myself.
And even though this isn't the case, and CM9 is all but guaranteed to show up on the Evo (as it's in the top 3 devices they have users for, iirc), I'm still planning on helping out.

Source??
This is the only differentiator Sprint has and the only thing keeping me from heading to Verizon who has significantly better coverage in my area (even with my Airvana at home).
I don't see anything that says you lose unlimited internet for upgrading your phone and why would you need to change plans anyway??
Or are you saying Sprint isn't getting the new phones? or that you'll have to change plans when LTE rolls out?

He is talking about if u jump from sprint to Verizon since they don't have unlimited nor does anyone else n no way to get it and if ur not going to use 2 gigs. does the speed matter? I know it helps with youtube vids or whatever but youtube lags n sucks even on cable or dsl. What ull be able to load web pages faster woo exciting.

Never happen.
CM9 or a good AOSP are our best bet. I've been giving the GS II 4G a long hard look, but a nice AOSP ICS build with 4G working would keep me happy for a while longer.
I'd dump Sense for ICS AOSP easy.
Hey, if ICS never get ported maybe we can hold out for Jelly Bean (j/k)
My EVO does everything I need it to do and I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade until sprint flips on the LTE switch in my area and pushes out a decent ICS/LTE phone. Of course by the time that happens Google will be prepping Marshmallow for release... I'm on wifi 99% of the day, though I can appreciate peeps agrivation with Sprint that do rely on mobile data. I suspect my EVO 4G will die with only about 5 minutes of Wi-Max use to it's credit. That makes me face a little.
Read today that the nexus 1 will not get an official release of ics due to hardware. Adreno 200 issues? I don't know. I'm sure there will be a port though.

Dude. Seriously. If 2.2 hits the market before the hero gets 2.1, Sprint and HTC are going to look like fools. And have some SERIOUSLY pissed off customers on their hands. Maybe if THEY thought about putting their apps in the market instead of trying to implement them into the software at release (as the article mentions google is planning to do), maybe their wouldn't be such a lag in updates.

100% Agree with you on that, hopefully google keeps there word with this updating situation.
I will laugh so hard if 2.2 comes out when the Hero gets 2.1... one reason I'm ditching Sense UI on my next phone and getting the Nexus instead of the EVO.

+10. Living in an area that is completely covered by 4g makes this purchase damn near compulsory. Though I must admit....no one would have to twist my arm very hard to convince me to buy the evo, lol!
4g
the only thing sprint hasnt told us about the evo is the 4g to my knowledge is going to be limited to certain kb's, not sure of the number yet not sure if this is even true but def a rumor from my friend that works at sprint, while 3g on the evo will be unlimited but they are selling 4g by the gb i think, like for an extra 10 bucks on top of your data plan it gives you 4g but its limited, i use my hero as a modem so that would suck if i got an evo. idk yet i guess we will see in due time.

What they told me is that 4G will be unlimited and the 3G is limited to like 5GB or something like that. I've heard that from multiple people... just what I've heard so far.
4g will be unlimited and 3g is capped at 5gb. I work for dealer who sales sprint and that thats the norm for data. 3g is capped because we dont own all parts of that network, where as 4g is ours with Clear, so yeah

Actually, the rumor I heard from someone at Sprint (not a store employee) is that it will be exactly like the current 4G plans... unlimited 4G, 5GB limit on 3G. The only thing they are currently wrestling with is pricing on the voice + data plans.

the hell
Same rumor running amok, but baseless rumors aside, would it be that surprising that a Verizon Nexus S will take advantage of a network which Veriz. is about to push hard (LTE/"4G")? Will Samsung's processors be optimized by February for different network's "4G"?
It's entirely possible, even understandable.
This could be true, but I bet Verizon will want Google to plaster their logo on it and give it some "features"(bloatware) only available on Verizon. Also, there is no way Samsung would ever have that much time to optimize a new radio in 2 months without them ****ing up:
"Dear Samsung, my 4g radio keeps going out please fix it!"
Fix? Oh just use 3g, you now have a 3g enabled device.
Just an example that you can't rush things like that. Unless they have been working real closely with Samsung to deliver a 4g enabled Nexus S. A Nexus S sounds a little more realistic but a 4g Nexus S sounds pretty much unimaginable. Notice how Samsung didn't even put the HSPA+ on this one, you really think they are going to make their second flagship device not have 4g and make a new edition that does the some minor changes(like an iPhone)?

And max out on 10, if lucky. Vibrant maxed at 7.2mbps. G2 hit 10. Nothing higher. And probably won't be.
Even then, holy cow guys. 7.2mbps is super fast. Guess what Verizon does? 1-2. Guess what AT&T does? 1.3~? Guess what Sprint "4g" does? Honestly dunno but I'm assuming 2-6.
T-Mobile was already lightning fast before this whole "4g" talk and I have no complaints. 7.2mbps on my cell phone is fast enough for the next... year. Of course then I'll be buying the Nexus 3.
i get like 2-3mbs on the myTouch 3g Slide and i dont complain about it. Im in NY I would think i be getting higher.

Doubt Verizon is gonna get the Nexus S. You guys do know that, so far, the last two Samsung Android phones Verizon released had Bing on it, right? Also, none of them had the Droid name. I don't know if Verizon would want to change that pattern.
I'm moving to Verizon because of complicated reasons. What phone should I get? I freaking love my evo and I have no clue what to get.

Get a "full featured" flip phone so you dont have to worry about going over your limited data plan.
Thunderbolt seems like the obvious choice. It is the HTC flagship phone for Verizon. It is the Evo on steroids I believe

Obviously you should get the Droid X 2
Unless you live in an LTE area, and are dying to have your battery absolutely demolished. Then, you should get the Thunderbolt.
The Thunderbolt really is an Evo on steroids, as lehalter said, and I think it's Verizon's best phone right now. The Droid Charge (Samsung) is nice too, but especially if you like Sense, Thunderbolt is the way to go. My dad just got it after having the original Droid, and he's really happy with it.
I'd have a hard time buying anything that's not LTE compatible on VZW right now, unless you live in the middle of nowhere and aren't likely to see LTE in the next 2 years. VZW's LTE network is everything we wish Sprint's 4G network was (well, except for cheap and soon, unlimited). That would knock the Incredible 2 and Droid X2 off my list, personally.

I don't think it's conclusively been shown that Verizon is throttling LTE if you go over a certain cap. I honestly don't know the details, but I think it's safe to say that one would be better off getting on VZW now before the "unlimited" plan really does go away.
In any event, the OP said he needs to move to VZW and probably doesn't need us to try to talk him out of it. I think the question is just which VZW phone is going to be best for an Evo lover, and I think the Thunderbolt is a pretty clear choice.
I'd get the Droid charge.

They have openly admitted they throttle.

i just left verizon.. data throttling was pi$$ing me off, i use about 10 to 13 gigs a month and that was without tethering...
on the note of throttleing.. big v woiuld actually shut off my 3g connection and id be stuck with 1x for the rest of the day... also they are not friendly to tetherin.... DO NOT MAKE THIS INTO A TETHERING FIGHT
back to the original topic...
i personally would go with the thunderbolt... even though it is "old tech" just to lock in the 4g unlimited now.
before anyone starts in... verizon's ceo has already announced that tiered data will start this summer... which so happens to be right before the dual cores hit...., and their dual core lte phones just so happened to have been "delayed" for "further testing".....whatever .......
Again i would stick with thunderbolt... DO NOT GO TO MOTO... moto has awesome phones and i hate to say it but personally any moto phone is 10 times better in hardware and some software than anyone else right now... however they all have encrypted bootloaders..
this means that yes you can have root access, however what this means is that ther are NO TRULY CUSTOM ROMS... think cyanogenmod and asop... also NO kernels, and no truly great upgrades...
dx is much better that evo .. however it is ristricted due to the encrypted bootloader... and no the bootloader will not be broken ....
plain and simple switch now to make sure you get unlimited 4g, or wait and take a chance, also again i would rec thunderbolt do to at least htc at this time is listening to its customers....

First off... If he never wants to mod anything on his phone then yes, he should get something made by Motorola. Second... All he has to do is shut off the extra radio to save power. You do know that you are on the Evo section of the forum right? Most people on here have their WiMax radios turned off because they don't get WiMax in their area. The X2 only scores about 500-600 higher than the Thunderbolt on quadrant... and it has an entire extra core. Motorola can do better than that.

depends where you live. if you are in a 4g area, get a Droid Charge... the screen alone will win you over and it gets better battery life than the thunderbolt.
If no 4g, get the incredible 2.
Be warned however, Verizon is having lots of issues with their 4g network and/or 4g handsets.

The prepaid plan lists the first 100mb as 4g speeds, so since looking at it I still assume the other data will be at 3g speeds, and even at edge speeds I don't mind. I hardly use my phone on the 3g modem enough as it is, only for facebook and small things like that.

So they are going to have 2 bands of LTE?
No if you read it says Sprint is terminating the agreement unless LightSquared meets their conditions on some interference issues. This is why I'm going to Verizon after my contract is up. At least then I'll have good 4G where I live and a decent LTE device to use it on. The Evo Shift will not magicaly turn into a LTE device once they get the network up and running. Unless sprint rolls out with something really good before the end of this year I'm leaving sprint.

All signs point to GNexus launch on April 15th. HTC One S is also rumored to hit us this year (I'd say probably late summer/early fall). There's still another big electronics expo thing this year, I believe, so there's a possibility we'll see more phones then.
Link below adds a little more fuel to the fire. One thing I'm not seeing in all these leaks, and rumors. A device with a physical Ketboard. But anyway check the link below, good read

I've been thinking about leaving Sprint as well. With the extra $10 a month they wanted when 4g first came out and now the shaky prospects of if Sprint will even use WiMax or LTE has just put me over the top on the extra $240 over the lifetime of the contract I'm paying for "the possibility to use more bandwidth".
3g where I live is at best 100K download (maybe 400k late at night). Unless they can secure full 4g coverage in the areas I use my phone and offer me a drop dead sexy deal on a phone when my contract comes up I'm most likely going to bail.
I would have bailed back when they changed the family plan with company discounts but figured the extra $7 a month wasn't worth the effort... Now I'm wishing I had made the attempt.
I'm staying with sprint for the unlimited data and San Antonio is one of the first cities to get LTE so thats a bonus for me

Yeah true but you don't know what LTE devices they will have. What if it's all crappy phones to start. The Evo Shift will NEVER be a LTE device and therefore will NEVER be able to use LTE services.

if the one x does come to sprint I might get it but I'm not big on 4g as it is. I rarely use it so I can wait for a slider no problem

Also looking at the pic from above post it looks like a purly AOSP OS and not HTC Sense If that's the case that phone will be mine

Yeah I guess your right and I saw a video of it and it looks really nice still! From what I was reading Sprint is planning on doing away with unlimited data and put a cap on it like all the other carriers.

Of course it won't. Neither will any of the current phones that are out. You'd obviously have to upgrade to use LTE no matter what carrier you're on, so what's the big deal? It's no different than upgrading from whatever your previous phone was to the Shift for the Wimax 4G.
