[Q] How long do you plan on keeping your EVO in service?

With all the new phones being announced and those that should be announced soon, how long do you guys and gals plan on keeping your EVO in service?

I think the evo is a great phone. I'm going to stick with it for a good while. It does everything I need it to.

I agree as well, but I could really use a better display. Love your avatar BTW. hahaha

Till either i brick it, or when it's time to upgrade in a year and a half, lol.

Until june assuming that's when the evo 2 (or next top phone) is coming. I'm giving sprint until ctia (march 21-24) to announce it and it had better be dual core. If not announced by then I'm buying out my contract and getting a vzw lte dual core. I'm tired of not getting 4g here in detroit while vzw lte and tmo hspa+ is active right here right now.

Till June. That's when my upgrade is, no way am I sticking with this beyond that. I really hope Sprint announces a BAD ASS successor, because if they don't then I'm jumping ship to VZW.

when there is a newer sprint phone with 4.3"+ screen with a HTC logo on the front of it and massive dev support behind it

I'll hold out till a month after they release their new flagship phone, only to hopefully get a good price for it.
I remember paying 200 for my hero then a month later it was 100 so

I'm waiting to see what they are going to announce. I still have no 4g where I'm at so my decision will be based on what they're announcing and how soon they are going to expand 4g service.

I hear ya on that. You would think this area would be prime for 4G but instead they give it Grand Rapid?!

I usually drive my phone till it dies except in the case of that crappy Samsung Instinct(got it a week after launch, and ditched it on the Evo's launch day). Before that was the BB 6250, and before that a /\/\ i90, then before that a /\/\otorola brick I can't remember what. Long time Sprint PCS/Nextel customer.
The BB what the longest phone I owned (almost 5 years), and it showed its scar's. Replaced the case like 3 times, display once, and keyboard twice. So I'll be using the Evo for quite sometime provided it doesn't fall apart in the mean time.

100% in agreement.

in another 1 1/2 years for me, by then LTE should be deployed hopefully or atleast a better solution for voice & data.

Until something better comes out.
I'm on SERO premium, which means I don't get the annual upgrades (but only pay $50/month). I'm prepared to pay full price (or turn to ebay) every other year if needed. I'd say that as soon as something notably better than the Evo (better processor and GPU, better battery life ideally) is out, I'll plop down the $450 or whatever it costs and do it.

I love my rooted EVO with custom rom, but come this Summer, an EVO 2 will be hard to resist not to upgrade too. Dual cores, better screen tech, newest Android OS, better battery life...yeah EVO 2 will be a first day purchase for me.

I absolutely love this phone. I will Upgrade to the next generation EVO how ever long it takes for it to come. But i will never get rid of my EVO. I had a TouchPro and an old 6700 for nostalgia. But i sold them after rooting my EVO. This phone will be my new BACKUP if anything ever comes along to take its place.

Until T-Mobile gets a HSPA+ dual core phone. I love my EVO but the Sprint service in my area is absolutely horrible.

Probably until July 1st. That is when I have a chance to upgrade. Hopefully Sprint will have some good phones to upgrade too. (T7P or 2nd Gen Evo)

Imma wait till the upgrade from evo->? Is as big as from hero->evo. Or Christmas, which ever comes first. The plus side to upgrading at Christmas is: sprint's summer release schedule. By the time I upgrade, the Dev community is up and running. I'm hoping Google releases a dev phone on sprint soon...that would be my dream come true.

Thinking about getting an incredible...opinions wanted

My Verizon contract expires on the 26th but I'm really not feeling the selection of phones right now. I wanted n LTE phone until I realized the current offerings were sub par. Then I thought I would wait for the Bionic but with the release of the locked down Droid 3 I'm not feeling optimistic about the bionic. Being locked down is a deal breaker for me. I'm thinking about getting a used incredible locally for about 150 atleast until Verizon comes out with some worthy LTE contendors. Thoughts? I'm coming from an OG Droid by the way.

if u want LTE get the charge if you want 3G get the Dinc 2 or Dinc

Probably not a bad idea to get an original incredible and wait to see what happens with the bionic and sgs2.

Second that. Get the Inc used at a good price and hope for a legit LTE phone from HTC next year. I feel like Verizon is focused on getting LTE up and running this year as opposed to putting out really good phones.
I prefer HTC, myself. If the Sensation or EVO 3D were on Verizon I'd consider it. I think it's just an off year for Verizon and new phones.
I love my DInc, as does everyone else I've talked to or read a post from. It's a classic with unbelievable Dev support. Coming from OG Droid you won't be disappointed, esp if you like the slightly slimmer form factor.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I am going to go ahead and get one. I was definitely really impressed with the amount of dev support in the development forum. I think the bump in CPU speed/RAM + smaller form factor will be enough to tide me over for a year or so. I just didn't want to waste my upgrade on a phone right now and be locked in all through next year when hopefully better phones will be coming out.

yeah you won't be disappointed with the dinc. i still haven't found what i would like to replace it with. i'll keep it till it burns up (knock on glass)

My brother has the og droid, and I put miui on it (I have miui on my phone too), and the inc blows it out of the water. Even with an overclocked kernel on the droid, it can't compare to the inc. you'll love the speed increase and the awesome devs that the inc has!
Sent from my HTC Incredible

The dInc blows the OG Droid out of the water, and is still a very competent phone by todays standards.
I actually really didn't like the Droid Incredible when I first used it because something seemed cheap about it. Realized a day later it was because of how quickly everything was loading on it, made it seem like there was no substance to the applications. Idiotic complaint? Yes, but my brain works in weird ways.
Love the phone. If you can get a cheap used/refurb I'd do that, I would be all about the SGS2 if it came with LTE, I'm thinking I may be waiting for the SGS3 to come out or one of the better HTC LTE phones.

I've had my DInc since the day after it was released and love mine. I almost got a DInc2 but decided against it. I will wait till Christmas time and try to get a multicore phone. My DInc does everything I need it to do, while there will always be a bigger and faster phone coming, I can wait.

Thanks for the support guys...meeting craigslist seller tomorrow morning for $125. Here's to hoping the VZW rep will tell me the ESN is clear!

Good luck, that sounds like a good price if its clean. I paid about $200 for mine 3-4 months ago if that's any indication.

I purchased mine off ebay. It's a great phone. My only complaint would be the screen. It's very hard to see outside in the daylight.

The incredible is a worthy upgrade from the OG Droid (I did the same thing in March), but only if you can get it for cheap. I got mine from verizon for $100. I only got it to satisfy my craving for faster technology since the lack of ram on the OG was pissing me off. I'll be ditching the incredible when I find a phone worthy of my (last) new every 2 (so essentially something thats 4G, Dual/Triple/Quadcore, and an unlocked bootloader), I wouldn't mind it if it launched with Ice Cream Sandwich either

you really can't go wrong with this phone... the devs having it doing things it was never designed for and it does it well! sense 3.0and panoramic camera are awesome.

The other deal for 125 fell through but I picked one up today..already loving the phone. MIUI is beautiful and it absolutely rips on this phone compared to my Droid.

I completely agree with you about upgrading to a Dinc2. My Dinc1 is awesome and I'd probably end up regretting using my upgrade on a Dinc2.
I wouldn't hesitate to tell someone to pickup a used Dinc1 at all. Coming from an OG Droid I couldn't be happier. I have to see if the Bionic is locked down, most likely will be, to make an upgrade decision. Guess I'll just have to be patient.

Title says it all... vote! I personally am waiting. My upgrade is for a while.

sadly i think ill be downgrading to the thunderbolt. i picked 1 up on the 6th so i could get unlimited data and unless sprint gets there network fixed by the 20th ill be returning my 3d and view and canceling my other 2 lines. i just cant deal with this 28k data network and there continued broken dates of when it will be resolved.

I'll be upgrading to whatever the cool new phone is hot in 22 months, LOL! Hopefully it will include teleportation and a built-in 3D printer.

keeping my evo 4g for the time being, sprint upgrade isnt due till almost a year from now for me, hopefully HTC will stop being douches by then , if not im jumping ship to another phone make, probably one of those galaxy phones all i know is this latest gingerbread release/fiasco has me really wary about htc now...i hate my evo 4g until i can remove this GB 2.3 pos from it

i will never own another Samsung..have had three and they all were POS's.
Hoping something comes out by Oct that is catches my eye.

Im hoping the blast will become a fone and come to Sprint it seems more like a proper evo 2 than the 3d

Im moving to California in a couple weeks and am curious too see how sprints 4g does cause i dont have it here in New Mexico. If i dont like it i may end up switching to T-mobile. I am in love with the Sensation! But it all depends on speeds right now and network quality.

Galaxy SII probably

I'll stick with the EVO 4G for a long time, until my contract expires next winter.

Forgoing the gimmicky 3D for the sexy curves of the Sensation. Just waiting for it to be permanently rooted... any day now.

More than likely waiting for the Nexus Prime if it's released on Sprint.

probably the Galaxy S II

i have no idea, I was certain I was going to upgrade to the evo3d but I wasn't that impressed and got a xoom wifi tablet.
I will probably just keel the evolution until next year

I'm waiting for the nexus prime as well. Hooray for ice cream sandwich!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I just upgraded to the Nexus s 4g. I love this thing, all my future Android phones will be Nexus phones. Just wish Sprint had 4g in San Diego and Twentynine Palms

Well, I would have put my vote toward the Galaxy S II. But when will it ever come Sate side is anyone's guess. Technology moves fast and every day I wait for the GSII is a day closer that something better will come out.
At this point I want to wait for the Nexus 3(Prime). I like the rumored specs, ice cream, and the fact that it will be a developer phone.

How are you guys planning to keep Epic until Upgrade Eligibility?

Hello fellow Epic 4G users,
I am wondering what kind of plans you guys have for using the Epic until you are eligible for upgrade?
For me, I bought Epic on last October, so I have to wait until August 2012 to be eligible. I've been taking good care of Epic and all these custom rom is giving new life so I am satisfied for now. But I still wonder if I can be satisfied next year. I might even consider paying ETF and sell Epic and goto other carrier or something.
Wondering if most people will just stick to their phone and wait patiently until upgrade is due.

I'm sticking with it until July at least. Then, if I find a suitable upgrade, ill get it

Hoping that CM7 (and hopefully 9) can keep me happy enough until I can upgrade to, hopeful again, to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm also on the lookout for a good low cost Nexus S, but not holding my breath for one in my price range.

Sitting on my upgrade until LTE hits DC!

I'm already eligible. I don't care about anything without the letters E T and L on it somewhere when taking my obligatory mirror photo. I'm not willing to shackle myself to WiMax again since it'll never arrive here.

Same here. I live in a WiMax area. Those of you who don't have Wimax you are not missing much. My upgrade is due at the end of December. I am looking for a phone that feels like a real upgrade with higher resolution and LTE and no touch wiz. I am going to Flash the latest Rom and hope CM7 does the trick for me until the quad core phones hit the market.

This exact scenario unless the Nexus drops on Sprint before New Years. Though GB on this phone has been impressive and worth the wait.

I am eligible now, and am out of contract. My SERO plan is cheap but Sprint's coverage has not improved and data speeds have deteriorated. LTE plans or not, Sprint's long-term future isn't all that clear to me. I am nowhere near as comfortable tying myself into a 2 year contract as I was 2 years ago, with ETF fees now as high as AT&T and VZW's.

I already have 1 line available for upgrade that I was gonna use for Nexus ( once it's available on Sprint ) but I think I'm just gonna wait for LTE next year as well .... looking forward to some CM7 ( or better ) for our "Legendary" EPIC !

hopefully we will still have devs around makin roms and everything cause the samsung moment ppl are still makin roms and everything for becuz mostly everyone got the moment then year a year later way better phones come out. so its a high possiblity!
*fingers crossed*

I don't have it but when I get to use it in the Baltimore/DC area it's not much better than good 3G here, with 3G there being unusable.
In other words, I have to turn it on down there just to get the same quality as 3G here.

I can ditch the epic at any given time,I bought this phone off-contract and pay month by month for it. Though ever since I've moved from the big city of Dallas, Tx to a little city in Oregon, I haven't the need of a newer phone with 4G, as there aren't any 4g towers of any carrier available to my area. I'm thinking moving to Portland once I can afford to. Seems all Major Metropolitan cities have all these little perks. I'm sticking with the Epic until CM9 if it ever comes to existance. I don't upgrade unless its a worthy innovative improvement. My last phone was a TP2.

I hardly ever use WiMax and I get almost full bars of it. Very underwhelming IMO but, I was dead set on getting the ET4G, eh not so much anymore. The Epic can and will hold me over until LTE/LTE devices hits my market.

My phone is awesome! And until another comes out faster and better with a keyboard I will be more than satisfied not having to pay an ETF or $500 for a phone. I may keep it well past July if there is nothing that I really have to have.

Keeping this until another keyboard phone comes along or something truly amazing comes out. I've been upgrade elligble for several months.

Now with the GB update, it feels like a new phone. Probably be holding on to my Epic for quite a while unless something comes out that wows me. Minimum will have to be a phone with ICS already on it and LTE radios.

Same here. I used another line's upgrade to get the epic. There's nothing else I want out there right now. A keyboard is an absolute must for me. Can't go back after having a device with a keyboard for 10yrs. The Epic does everything I need it do to and very well at that. I still get comments today on my phone when people see the screen.

The last of a dying breed 2013: When will you submit to the carrier for a new device

With sprint taking pre orders for the iPhone 5 and also including new devices are being sold, when will you give in?
As much as we upgrade the rom to keep up with what's on the newer devices, is becoming quite hard finding a rom that has everything included. There will always be a sacrafice whether its 4g, stable camera etc. Developers have really out done themselves with such great roms but its the evo hardware that drive compatibility issues.
How many will enter 2013 sending a happy new year text from the original evo 4g, or will some of you switch before making that new years Eve toast....

I'm up for an upgrade in November. Looking at moving up to the LTEVO, SGS III or Galaxy Nexus. Probably going to hand my OG EVO down to my son.
Definitely not going to anything that starts with an "i".

Don't know. Sprint has been slow getting 4G at least here in Los Angeles and I hate paying for 4G and not getting it. My friend's Verizon device simply flies. I know Verizon is a bit more expensive but damn their coverage is superb. According to some study I read online, even metropcs is beating Sprint on 4G. My contract is up in November so just sround the corner. Costco has some good Verizon phones and no activation fees.

I got a good year still left. But with the supposed HTC One X+ coming up, doesn't sound too bad with that tegra quad-core.

I'm always behind on my contract when new phones come out. I end up getting the about a year after they are released Hopefully I will be able to correct this soon, and yea I will probably be getting rid of my evo the first opportunity available

While the OG is getting a little long in the tooth, I still find mine quite useable and flash a new rom from these amazing devs about once a week. When development dries up here, that's when I'll start looking for something else. The gf is jumping ship for the iP5 [rolls eyes] after having her Evo for over 2 years. I feel sorry for people who are still running a stock, non-rooted OG with the Sprint base rom. This phone really shines once it's tweaked and modded a bit.
Holdin' out for the next Nexus and hoping it's a Motorola or HTC build.

I'm almost 6 months past my contract end with Sprint.... And am not looking to switch carriers. With development doing what it is doing...... I don't really feel an urge to jump. I switch back and forth between a few roms... Decks... Classic.... DK's Jackpot..... all of them keep me feeling like I have a brand new phone.
HTC vs SIII ... hmmm.... I'm following the forums here and watching who shows up where.
and while I'm here... Thanks to all the developers who just keep on banging out new tricks and new tweaks. It sure makes it fun.

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I jumped ship about 2 weeks ago and got myself an Evo V (Evo 3D) on Virgin Mobile. It's a nice little step up from the OG. The OG was treating me just fine and I would have been content to stay with it longer, but I have some cracks in the housing (around the power and volume buttons of course) and wanted to decrease my monthly bill. I think this new to me but already dated phone will last me for another couple years just fine.
The OG is still going strong though. I just got it an HDMI cable and coupled with my datel retro wireless controller (it's like a wii classic controller with wii remote built in to it) it is enjoying life as a dedicated gaming device now. Ouya!

By this winter we should probably hear of some worthy candidates to replace our OGs but right now nothing is really tempting me. Also, I hate that everything is itching toward 5" screen size. Too big IMO. Just stop it already OEMs!!

S3 looks frickin sweet, though I shall miss my OG... I'll most likely sell it back to Sprint for a discount on my renewal. Sucks they're only giving about $60 for OG Evo's now "no respect, no respect!!"

as much as i wanted to wait for the iPhone 5, i bailed early and got the SGS3. for those of considering staying HTC; best of luck to you in Brick city.
