Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

Not open for further replies.
Wohooo June 6th couldn't come soon enough to get my evo..to bad my bill is due on the same day. Uggg..what to do what do to. Oh wait..i paid for this month early so yeah..i will save big time. Hehehe I even have a gift card.
 
If my leg isn't being pulled (in this case, it would be more like being hanged, drawn, and quartered), I will love rebella forever and ever. Hell.
 
for some reason, i found rebella's posts to be sincere and it feels like a huge load of anxiety has been lifted. but i still want a may release.

Yeah, it's weird. I just feel very comfortable believing rebella. Not sure why though, it just feels right.:confused:

Of course, that isn't to say I didn't believe Jackson.:o
 
This is perfect for those that bought the palm pre on the day it came out (like myself) because you should be a sprint premier acct and be eligible for the upgrade on for the EVO on the 6th.


P.S. If you see that I have a hero for "devices" it is because i sold the pre on ebay and bought the hero on ebay (best way to go for phones that have been out for sometime!)

I just made a phone call. Someone I know personally just told be the same thing. They are making rounds. The info seems generally true, but different dates, I got the 17th and the 19th.

She seems to be true.

It is good to question everything. Blindly faith will led you off cliffs.

Rebella, thank you for stepping forward. Any information helps.

But please, lets remember, plans change. Nothing is set in stone.

If the dates do not wash, remember. They can change.

Really bad for sprint. They are releasing in the middle of apple week. We, the people that are going to use this phone, are going to have to beat the drum really hard.

So get out the tee shirts guys. We have to do some major cheering to do.

Don't disconnect too fast! You don't want to get hotspot service at home, then leave the house with an Evo with only 25% juice remaining. Nobody seems to know how battery performance will be even with the thing plugged in the whole time.

True, but I highly doubt that with the hotspot running it will drain more power than it takes in while charging. If it does, it wouldn't last 2 minutes on battery alone.

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

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.

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.

Bestbuy and radioshack will not get it before Sprint. Everyone will get it the same time they said. But Sprint may have some release parties a few days or a day before in a few select stores. It is truely the best phone Sprint has by far.

All's I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! And I'm sure I can speak on behalf of everyone in this forum!! If this is all legit, this is the best news that we could've heard through the grape vine so to speak!! I know what you've said has been speculated before, but It's nice to have more of a concrete idea that we can all look forward to b/c this phone's going to be a game changer and a phone for other to follow behind!! So as It looks right now were a month away from release!!!

LET THE REV0-LUTION BEGIN!!!!

Hey Rebella, definitely let us know about those presale parties when/if you hear about them. I was at the early one for the Pre last year in NYC and had a blast!

EDIT: Also glad to hear another confirmation on what I had said earlier this month about the June 6th date from my Sprint contact!
 
Oh, and not to even mention the given release date--limited time free hotspot is a great idea. Builds hype, gains customers, satisfies enthusiasts, and still allows Sprint to make money in the long run. They should definitely do that, I think.
 
Rebella, will the 12 th event be the announcement confirming the date & price? Not that I'm doubting, just need something official.

Hello Everyone! I am very new to these threads and the phone itself :) I caught wind of it on the Sprint web page and began immediately digging for information. I have read this ENTIRE forum over the last week so feel like I know you guys already...

Just to sum up how alot of people think "the general public doesn't know" - we know :) I am not a phone techie.. I have a samsung rant for goodness sakes LOL I just never got into the bigger badder phone thing and always went for the "Cheapest" I could get phones... That time is now over.. I began looking at my bill and my minutes (use alot of data, text and hardly 300 voice!) and I have the 1500 everything family plan with 3 lines. One of my lines is temp shut down because my daughter abused it lol

I realized that with this phone plan - my phone SUCKS for it.. I wanted something that if I was paying that much for then I could use it to the fullest... I started digging and came VERY close to purchasing 2 Hero's for myself and hubby.. he could care less and thinks I am super NUTS at this point :)

I hope to get to know all of you more as the wait continues... I am totally not patient but my 1 upgrade isn't there until July 1 :( Maybe I could convince them to give it to me early - I hope lol

Anyway, thanks again to everyone - I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of it!

Christina

if youre within a month or two if your contract renewal they'll let it slide, most Sprint Employees want customer satisfaction now... and sales.

You'd think so, but I know on my 700wx, the battery drains faster than it charges when I'm streaming video. I'm not sure how newer phones handle it. I hope it's able to retain the charge when plugged in & streaming/hotspotting (?).

Thanks :) I was reading that on here was just not sure of the blurry line because it would be my Premiere 1 year upgrade and not the standard 2 year :)

Can't hurt a girl to try anyway :p

Yeah, I hope so too.

Hotpotting or Hotspotting :) ?

My Premier 1 year upgrade won't come until Aug 1st. But once an official announcement drops, I intend on calling Retentions, complaining about my Pre & asking if I can advance my upgrade date for the Evo. As icing, i'll point out that i'm so fed up that I was about to jump ship for the Incredible BUT just "saw this commercial for the Evo" and am willing to stay for that. Ought to work.
