It hasn't even been a year yet since the EVO was released...there's also the Epic and Shift. All three are currently on par or better than any other Android handset available on the market.
Sprint is having an announcement on the 7th so you might want to stay tuned for that (although me thinks it might have to do with a certain LG). HTC will make their splash at the MWC.
I am thinking of switching to Sprint, should i go ahead with the evo or wait a little longer? How much longer is longer?
I'll second this. Even after that I'd still wait if it's not a phone announcement. You'll probably have some BFD phones out in late spring.Wait til at least the 7th. Big announcement and we don't know what it's about yet.

Such as this one recently rumored...
Samsung prepping portrait QWERTY Android phone for Sprint? -- Engadget
Nope! Keep that thing far away from me.... Samsung won't collect any profit from me!

I don't know,since Sprint has gotten rid of their yearly upgrades, not looking too bright of a future with them. I feel like that was on of their biggest perks. If nothing spectacular is mentioned on the 7th, I will begin contemplating the ETF and looking elsewhere.

I would rather have Sprint focus on network development and let the phonemakers battle out whether they want to work with Sprint. HTC wanted to make a big splash in the US market with Evo, and Sprint was the only carrier they could do it with since no one else had 4G soon enough. I think the makers are going to continue to give Sprint appropriate phone attention only if Sprint's network offers advantage over ATT & VZW. The next 12-18 months are going to be critical for Sprint.
agreed. I think this should be the number one approach for every carrier. If you keep your network up, the manufacturers will come. I remember back in the days of Nextel. It seemed like all of the phones were about a year or so behind the market. I attributed this to the poor network quality at the time; though part of it had to do with the push to talk technology that was required.
They didn't get rid of them for everybody. For Gold Premium you get it every 12 months still. Otherwise it is every 22 months. Verizon got rid of their early upgrades too.
Network development has to go hand and hand with hardware, if you focus on the network and neglect new phones you WILL lose customers, LOTS of them. We're living in the evolutionary era of the so called "smartphone" users are looking for the cool new features and if Sprint doesn't keep up on the hardware and can't compete they lose customers and the network budget goes down the tube.
This is not ENTIRELY true, from what my rep told me today over the phone as a silver customer I would still get 1 year upgrades at a 75 dollar discount level and I qualify for a full 150 upgrade the next time I go in to switch phones.
Yes you do get $75 off at one year. But you don't get contract price or the mail in rebate. So the $75 off comes off of the retail price.
Humm... didn't specify on that, if that's really the case then I don't even care if they get a great phone on the 7th, Verizon here I come, I'd gladly pay the 70 extra dollars and sign a 1yr contract.
