Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

Considering we all still have to wait for it to pass the FCC before they even think about releasing it...and it hasn't yet. We should all keep checking though...the number should be NM8PC36100.
 
I said it before and I will say it again. I think the Evo could and or should be released on or around May 28th. If Sprint is partnering with Disney this would be a slick move. Prince of Persia is being released that day and we already know the Evo is tied up with the movie. Just saying :)
 
Eh, still thought my smart-arse response was still entertaining! :cool:

Oh it was. I can relate to that kind of a sense of humor. ;)

The first poke was the one I was thinking of.

I'm glad there are other people out there putting pieces together to somehow come up with glimmers of hope for an early release. Whether it happens OR NOT, whether everyone agree's or doesn't, it's still fun and entertaining to keep hope alive and look forward to dates that are closer...just don't go holding your breath LOL

:confused:

Where did you get that number from? First time I have seen any sort of #'s that were to be identified as the EVO.
 
I getting the Evo, but my friend just received the Incredible and he paid $99 for a 2 year contract.( His contract was up so he just renewed it).

Speculation is that the Evo will cost 200 - 250 with a 2 year contract. Evo's price has to be more competitive to the Incredible inorder for it to compete.

I was under the impression it had passed through the FCC under an NDA already? This is a usual case with premier devices, correct?

Can you show me where he got an Incredible for $99? Everything I saw said $199 after all rebates, etc.

Anyway I am fine with $200-250 since I will pay $30+ less *per month* compared to Verizon and the phone has better specs.

I'm sure you'll receive plenty of people on here commenting back on this..)(Bill comes to mind) but anywho, first off the EVO has additional hardware that the Incredible lacks. Plus look at how much MORE you pay a month for Verizon service compared to what you pay to Sprint?! Somehow I think that if Verizon is charging that for the phone then it's probably because they know they'll make it back in a couple months off of ya!

Just my thoughts however!!

Oh and potentially (confirmed by our more reliable posters) free 4G service! Where does Verizon come close to offering that?...sorry wanted to add that
 
To clarify, the Evo probably has gone through the FCC, its just not been made public.


That's what I was thinking...or no one recognise any release id #'s as the EVO...which if it was months ago the Supersonic.

Im just curious where these #'s "NM8PC36100" came from?
 
... tattrpuff how do you know they just didnt attach a nda when it passed the fcc...

They usually do...HTC has them for nearly all of the phones I've searched. You can search any model number and if it has passed it gives you some documents about the radio, wifi test. It doesn't name it or give you pictures of the device passed, due to the Confidential request that is usually included in these document. But if the numbers match and there is evidence of specs in the document, you can put two and two together. But if you search the NM8PC36100 number on the FCC site nothing pops up.

NM8 = HTC FCC Code
PC36100 = HTC's EVO model number.
 
I saw that they want to add a "pay as you go" format, but didn't dig much deeper. Will be interesting if they bought out Trac Phone or something, but I don't think they have the cash at hand to buy somebody.

I thought the Evo's model number was something like A929600 or something.

Edit: Its A9292 I thought.

From my interpretation unless it passed within the last week or so...it hasn't gone through. It shows date submitted, which is all the paper work and presumably passing the device and the date available which is when you can actually view paperwork on the site and they are anywhere from a 1-7 days apart generally.
 
tattrpuff UNLESS they attach a nda which is a non disclosure agreement meaning they will not release ANY info to the public about the device
 
Hey TS,

how about you talk someone in these forums to make a widget for Windows, that pops up like a chat box, every time there is a new post in one of our subscribed threads? how cool would that be? Have a quick reply button right there, so we could avoid having to navigate all the way back into the forum to reply? Make it a paid service and not have to worry about add revenues or something?

Just thinking outloud...

Does this version of vBulletin support RSS feeds?

For what it's worth, when the first iPhone was released, Apple discretely shoved it through the FCC what... 6 months in advance, to make it even more challenging for FCC scavengers to find.

Is that likely to be the case with the Evo? Who knows... but it's not unprecedented.
