Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

[LatinP]

It's a shame we can't all get along. I happen to like what ROI has to say. She doesn't want people in this forum to have misconceptions, so she's stern at times trying to fight false rumors. As far as her knowledge of WiMAX, there is no one that matches her. Even eieio has admitted that she has much more technical knowledge than he does.

A week or two ago, I took the liberty of combining several of her posts, because it's the best information I have run across comparing WiMAX and LTE. It would be a shame if we lost her expertise in this forum.

It's one thing to be knowledgeable about something and try to educate someone else. It's totally another to come in to every other thread and shoot someone else's ideology simply because you feel you need to throw your words in to boost your ego. I get a laugh out of him/her but whatever.

I don't think River means to hurt anyone, at least not intentionally. To me, people are looking at her sternness and associating it with hate, but it isn't that way. She's misunderstood more than anything, but isn't that the case for all of us at times when we're trying to get our point across?

Knowledge is great, but the debate has to be kept civil. Knowledge without kindness is worthless.

Me and Rodney King Just Got 1 Question (maybe two cause he stuttered a little bit and said it twice)

YouTube - Rodney King - Can we all get along?

All this waiting is definitely getting on everyone's nerves and we're all edgy. If we don't get some news next Wednesday, this place is going to implode, but that doesn't have to be the case. I think we all need to take a chill pill and move on for the good of the group.

It's only been 6 weeks since CTIA. I can't imagine what's going to happen if we have to wait another month or two. I also can't imagine Sprint announcing the EVO to the public next week, then making them wait 6 to 8 weeks for the phone. If that happens, this whole planet will implode.

You folks are great!

This is my first post and I am happy to be part of a great group of people.

I to am waiting for that elusive release date. I am planning on switching to Sprint mainly because of cost. I was torn between the Samsung Moment and the HTC Hero. Then I saw the EVO read all of the reviews and am sold 100%.

Today I decided to chat online with a Sprint rep and got zero answers even after telling them that without a release date I was going to go to AT&T for the I-phone. I knew this would be long shot but I took it.

It is great to be on a forum with people as obsessed as I am over this Phone.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed. It's just a phone to me. One of the best coming out but at the end of the day it's a phone to me. I won't even budge to be one of the first to get it. Just the fact that it's coming to Sprint and it was announced back at CTIA was all I ever needed to know it was real. So I wouldn't care how long I have to wait. Point is, it will be the best if not one of the best phones this year and going into next year rivaling with other phones.

But glad you joined the forum.

There was a company in Baltimore I forget the name now and I don't feel like looking for it. A few of the techs had these in 2009.

You can still buy it at Best Buy I think..

The original Xohm testers got these. I was part of a later trial and got a Thinkpad instead

It is funny 60 days ago I would have told you I am going pre-paid with Straight Talk paying $130 for a phone and $90 for a plan (2 people). Then after looking at the smart phones I decided enter the 21st century. Now I am sitting and praying for a release date so that I can coordinate switching from T-moble to Sprint.

The EVO is probably too much phone for a guy who is using a Motorola krzr but if this EVO lives up to the hype I think we will all be extremely happy. I am hoping that I can ditch my 1998 laptop and use the phone exclusively.

As far as the release date goes. I too think that Sprint will make a bad decision if they don

OK guys, I need to say this.

I am sorry for my behavior lately. I have step out of line and things where said that I am sorry for now. We are going to have to agree to disagree.

We are all here for one thing, sprints HTC evo.

And we all want it to succeed. So I promise to keep on topic from now on.

PS has anyone seen the wimax thread, I can not find it now.

We are all going to have do deal with the fact it will be out when it is out. Period. We have zero power over this.

We can say this sprint has a winner here and they know it. Waiting is part of the game. If you do not like the 7th inning stretch stop going to baseball games.

I work for Sprint and met with the HTC people today and they showed us the EVO. Man what a cool phone.

 

[rebella]

They said the EVO advocates will get the phones on May 17th and be trained on them May 24th. The EVO will go on sale June 6th.

Cool! Can you give us a run-down of how it compares to the Incredible?

 

[rebella]

Phone is not a world phone just to confirm that.

 

[tpp0230]

Can you confirm that the phone is finished?

 

[rebella]

They had the incredible with them also. The Evo is bigger and the screen I thought was clearer also. IT is an awesome phone. Anyone worried about the size shouldn't be. It is very light and very thin I thought. You will not be disappointed.

 

[rebella]

The phone is 100% finished

 

[rebella]

2.1 in it

 

[rebella]

they did say they didn't have any software for the video chat yet though

There is the magical date we have all been waiting for. Thank you so much for the information.

Now it is just a waiting game.

Excellent! Thank you for this update!!


So what's the over/under on how long OzcarGuide sees & regurgitates this with some other nonsense?

 

[mogulust]

Did they mention anything about a preorder or anything about best buy selling them first? I'm beginning to believe that best buy won't have it early and it will be everywhere (sprint store, best buy, radio shack etc) on June 6th. I need to find out soon because I need to know if I should get a bunch of best buy gift cards as a birthday gift or not.
