Uh oh. Forums are blowing up.

This hd3 is touting super amoled and it's all over the web. This was the one thing holding me back on evo. Oh and it's smaller than hd2 with the 4.5 screen. Can you say the htc " resolution"?

I think it's also sporting the duel 3G/ 4g chip.

With Dell doing LED, TFT looks long in tooth.

All I have to say is wow. Sorry, I'm waiting.

Edit. Well it looks conceptual from a French design firm, however this is where it may all be going in q4.
 
i highly doubt the hd3 would be here in the US this year . so why wait ? by time you get a hd3 you would have the evo for a good while . the hd2 itself is not a new phone but new in the US . hasn't even been out for 2months in the US yet . those rendors been out since last year .

that's what im saying Sprintfun. they are going for something that's not coming anytime soon . by time that hit's the US the next evo could be out or talked about . people are falling in love with leaks and not living in reality . always a new phone coming but you have to understand you have to be satisfied and phones like the EVO , THIS MAPPLE I MEAN APPLE PHONE , AND I GUESS THE INCREDIBLE PHONE , are phones that won't be trumpt for a good minute . these are not the regular phones that are nice and get pushed over in a few months . these are the next level up phones . like the mapple i mean apple phone was when it first came out . the makers of these phones will not be looking to push something out better then it in the same category anytime soon . maybe another hot superphone but not in the same line of it . these will be phones that have a new chapter every year with each one a little better . so get something that's satisfying and will last up until the next big phone . not next cool phone but next BIG PHONE like an evo 2 or next mapple if you like that or nexus 2 whatever . trust me you are going to be hurting your own feelings .

that's why the legend is not even announced for a US carrier yet . it's obvious who will get it but the hero came out in OCT . it would be to soon to be getting the legend. the hero at the time was something big until superphones became common as they are now . a phone needs close to a year or a year at least to shine then open a new chapter if its a series phone .

I heard an interesting rumor from Dan today. It made sense to me after i really thought about it. I think HTC and Sprint are holding back on some of the details on the phone so apple can't go back and make there iPhone HD a better competitor. I mean HTC scored big after all the leaks that have happened with the iHD (i'm coining that btw). What would have benefitted them by giving out all the specs back in March of the phone if it wasnt coming out until June anyway? This way apple and other companies are still confused.

From what Dan told me today, 4G is a much, MUCH bigger deal than everyone is making it out to be. Some of those apps are mind blowing, they are capable of doing absolutely unreasonably awesome things!

This is something that I thought of also. In a way, we are eager to know more of the phone and yes, Dan the man Hesse and Dan (agent 25) with jackson have provided alot to satisfy our needs, but it also gives the competitors fuel to enhance or accelerate their product also. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not remember the iPhone 4G even mentioned as much or leaked as much as it has until after the announcement of the EVO.

From what I have been reading, the EVO is going to knock the socks out of the competition.

I was thinking of joining evo4gforum.net but we already have all the best sources here. The only reason I'd move there is if Jackson gets pissed here and starts sharing all the news over there. One less forum to check for the latest news. I bet most of their sources get their stuff from here anyways


By the way has anyone posted this yet:

i think this site is just fine . it's more to keep up with but i don't think anybody would leave this site even after the evo is released . only thing i don't like this site has issues with the email attempts . all other sites i know can send me a notification for every post so i won't have to read pages . i usually skim anyways and the important stuff or interesting stuff stands out .
 
Exactly TS, the Evo is the complete package. Let's run down the list for everyone one more time. I see anxieties getting high....

It comes with an industry leading 4.3" screen. At that the phone is only .5" thick which is comparable to the Nexus One. The screen is fricken awesome, best I've ever laid eyes on.

It has 2 CAMERAS!!! The back is the best a phone can have 8mp and records video at 720p. I don't know if any of you have seen the camera app but it is sickly! I will be tossing my camera and camcorder when i get this. The front camera is great too. If you are video chatting with another EvoLUTIONAL person or you are leaving a vid on someone else's wall its awesome.

What's even better is that you can play these videos right onto your tv via the hdmi output. Thats right not only can you record in great quality but you can transfer it that way too. NO OTHER PHONE DOES THIS!!!

4G. wOw. Best mobile web browsing experience period. Want to go unmobile? That's chill we'll let you hook up 8 OTHER DEVICES to our amazing data 4G network for a low cost of $15!!! Yupp you can have your laptop, skype phone, mp3, desktop, xbox, ps3, wii, and iPhone all on Sprint's 4G network at the same time. That;s how Sprint welcome's you to the now network in 8 different ways. Thanks Mr. Hesse =]

APPS MAN. You have never seen apps work like they will on the Evo. They will be constantly updating at the speed of light, and have abilities no OTHER phone can match. Because their not 4G and thereby not EVOlutional. Kinda sad....

So while we may have to wait a little over another month, you are getting the best device on the market period. Its not going to be like the droid or incredible was, with a better phone coming out in another month. It will be the king for a good 6-8 months, guaranteed.

So i ask you what more do you want with this phone? App market? Check. Multitasking? Check. Removable battery? Check. Additional Memory? Check.

Awesomeness guaranteed.

Hope that made some of you feel better and not so down, I'm always here for you guys!

hey supersonical... or anyone for that matter i was watching an incredible video demo of the tv out and it seems that you can display the actual screen on the tv and whatever you do on the screen translates to the tv... i was wondering if the evo will also be capable of that (not that its something id use often unless it was to broadcast a movie to my tv) but still a cool feature i think
 
For a minute there Jackson I could picture Dennis Leary smoking a cigarette in his tough guy attitude reading your post for an EVO commercial

All this talk of the 4g apps makes me wish 4g was in my area.

Btw anybody know when 4g will be coming to the Metro Detroit Area?
 
will the hotspot add-on be able to be added only on months that you want/need? say you don't normally need it but you go on a trip for a few weeks and decide you need it for that time. then when you get back home, just cancel it?
