Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

Not open for further replies.
I thought the Evo's model number was something like A929600 or something.

Edit: Its A9292 I thought.

The model at CTIA has the PC36100 on the mock up FCC tag in the same position the real model number will be placed. I know that this model was not a finish model, but I would think it would be safe to say that is the actual model number. I could be wrong, but seem to be correct.
 
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

This very well could be the case if they had a total NDA...and I understand what a NDA is. Every HTC phone I've searched has one attached, but it only asks to not disclose certain things like test photos, external photos and internal photos as well as other hints to the actual device.
 
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.

True...wouldn't be impossible.
 
if they're planning on having froyo as a surprise for the release, i'd be fine with 2.1 for now. just do an OTA with froyo when it's ready....unless froyo has something to make android work better with 4g....but i'd still take the evo with 2.1 as is now.

software can always be updated later. get the major bugs out. but not matter how long their testing for bugs will be, i'm sure the users will find more when it's actually released. i've already accepted the fact that we live in a beta culture where early adopters are guinea pigs.

heck, let 4g markets get it with 2.1 and the rest of the places get it when froyo is ready. and at that time, give an OTA for us early adopters. or release it everywhere and only the 4g areas get froyo and 4g tweaked software.

I think it was riverofice that said it would not have froyo.
ROI has a test unit.

Edit: ROI sorry if it was not you that said that.
 
Uh oh.

New iPhone Could Hit Stores During Apple's Developer Conference

My apologies if this was posted already. I must of missed it if it was.


I doubt that they will, but would not put it past them. IF they did, Sprint better have some butt kicking ads in place; otherwise the Iphone will have all the coverage. I know we keep saying the Iphone will not come near the EVO, but we have no clue of what the new Iphone will ACTUALLY be capable of. We are talking about APPLE.

There is actually a good chance the new iphone will have a better SOC then Snapdragon. whatever is in the ipad seems to outperform everything out there right now, and if they stick that into an iphone it'll be formidable. Having said that I think snapdragon is fast enough that it won't be an issue. But i wouldn't underestimate what those apple bastards can do.
 
this makes me think the whole gizmodo was an apple conspiracy. i mean think about it, through this, they shorten the Evo's timetable. apple & at&t knows Sprint needs more time to prepare the phone. Immediate release means people will question it, Apple now, or wait for Evo?

It absolutely cannot be an Apple conspiracy, since Apple sent the police to Jason Chen's door to obtain his computers.
 
Let me know about that. I do have a discount for where I work but I don't know if it is through EVP.

I went into the Sprint store, said "oh, I work for (my company)" and they were like "OH, you qualify for a discount!". Just find the friendly guy at the counter. He'll be happy to help.
 
Wow, 2 more weeks (if I have read right)....I just wish it was here already, I'm going nuts!

This forum has CONSUMED me LOL, I leave it up 24/7 and hit F5 everytime I pass the comp!

Sprint, see what you have done to people LOL....chants "GIVE US EVO, GIVE US EVO" LOL :-)
LOL same thing with me. Nice to meet u chrissy ;)

Let me rephrase...

I already got my discount for where I work. I just don't know if it is through this EVP or through Sprint directly or what.
 
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 was prepared to pay double that honestly. That was before I was before I was able to resolve my issue with Sprint. They had my renewal. Set for the end of the year.... On another note, I decided to go into a T-mobile store and check out the HD2 and get a feel for what the EVO would feel like in my hands, I've gotta say that without a doubt the size is perfect. I'm not telling what to do, but the extra money (which may be $50 if rumors ring true) would be worth every dime. Plus the EVO is the first 4G phone with a bigger screen. I say not only does your buddy try to steal your EVO when you get it, but the iphoney crowd will too once their now (or soon to be) smaller screened money pit just doesn't shine like it once did. My 2 cents.
 
LOL same thing with me. Nice to meet u chrissy ;)


Glad to hear I'm not the ONLY technologically addicted female running around here LOL! I say from a female's perspective: Mr. Hesse you better hurry up and get us some EVO's...could be dangerous to your health a riot of PMS'ing women pounding on his door LOL JK JK (please no take offense to that, I'm a female so felt I could get by with the joke)
 
Already have my discount applied....14% off for working at the university that I do :) Brings my $129.99 down to $111.79 for two lines, 1500 shared weekday, etc. Pretty effen sweet if you ask me. I know Verizon customers who pay almost that much for a single phone!
I get 25% on the same plan w/3 lines with my company. But even though you get the discount, if you want to be on the pre-order list for earlier order than the general public and S|P customers then you should do that. I would call instead of waiting for them to contact you, but that is just me.
