Hey guys, I'll try and put everything together in one concise post here.
Price- Between $200 and @250. They have not decided anything for sure yet but it will be no more than that.
Availability- There are 2 dates i have heard thrown around. June 6th and the 13th. Best Buy will start to preorder in May so i am assuming the first date will be their's, the 6th. That leaves that date of the 13th to Sprint, exactly one month after their huge announcement in NY. Yepp ounds about right...
New Stuff- Yepp lots of it. It will ship with a modded version of 2.1. Nothing different about it, just modded to work with 4G. It will come jam packed with super cool apps, and it will be the second phone to get the froyo update after the Nexus does. Also lot more memory. Better tahn or equal to the incredible.
Cool Stuff- SP and i were having a conversation earlier about this. It will indeed have voice and data at the same time. That we can assure you of. It will also support VOIP. It will indeed be a third party dev, and it more than likely won;t be skype because they just signed an agreement with Verizon. So probably google talk, it'll work great, no worries =]
Accesories- This phone will not fall into the same case as did the NExus. Accessories will be out at or fairly close to the time of release. This is because the device has been known about to the public and manufacturers and they have been given an ample amount of time, and the rights to create STUFF. Good call on Sprint's part again about the later release date. That way your not buying a phone and have to wait months for stuff to come out for it.
4G- Sprint;s 4G service will be added around the country at a rapid pace through the next 2 years. Explain to me why they would host a 4G event in NY City, a place with NO 4G. Well, it';s going to be the biggest and best 4G switch on in history. Yepp thats right, NYC will be getting 4G in only a few weeks. It just makes sense, Sprint can't be that dumb....However, that walmart deal in the talkings. Don't think because noone is talking about it that it haas died. Very much not soo. This will drastically improve sprints coverage and put it light years ahead of any competitor. What's even cooler? If LTE is soo much better than WiMAX in a few years (which i dont think so, but we'll save that topic for another day) Sprint can easily switch to it as it has applied for LTE spectrum range.
If anyone see anything that should be added just give a shout. Hope this cleared EVERYTHING UP!!! =]
