[passivesf]

[Camslam]

Sooner or later? If so, which one and what date?

 

[HTC是ichiban]

so technically when you say same as Hero plan.

that means EPRP will be good enough.

 

[RiverOfIce]

Please could someone please place all her post into on main post? Please.

I know you are listing off what comes up, but having one post would be really great.

 

[esone1ll]

not buying the June 6th date..

Why?

What sort of date would you buy?

 

[Supersonical]

I was hoping to have more and to take a picture but they wouldnt allow it. Also the kickstand seemed to be pretty strong. I have been following these posts for quite a while and followed Jackson on the Sprint Community since he seemed to know more then us. I just happened to meet with HTC today thus the update, Otherwise I was as much in the dark as you and hoping Jackson was right. Glad I could help!

@Rebella....anything confirmed on the set pricing for the phone? One more thing since there is only one color, does the same apply to the earpieces? Just silver...or red as well for some odd reason?

 

[AndroidTod]

That is killing me. They need to replace the phone. It is not that wide and thick. I am sorry it is not.

I agree, makes EVO look lke a brick, If this is a real sprint add they should fire the person responsible. The first teaser add was not like that, and why are the 2 women talking into the HDMI cable.

 

[eieio]

sooner than June 6. I can still speculate though right?

 

[LatinP]

wow, just wow...

 

[rebella]

no prices were disclosed

 

[HTC是ichiban]

i think this is combine of all post

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.

Phone is not a world phone just to confirm that.

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.

The phone is 100% finished

2.1 in it

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

They mentioned that best buy will probably presell I think for maybe $ 50.00 deposit and possibly Sprint also. They said they are make hundreds of thousands of them though so no one will be without. Sprint stores will get the most though to start.

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.

one other thing they said that maybe Sprint will not charge for the hotspot to start since Verzion isn't for the Palm Pre and they want to compete with that. They weren't 100% on that though.

I asked them about the black and white cases and all they knew of was a black version. They said if Sprint wants many colors HTC can do but to start only black is the color they knew of.

They said the official release date will be released in a couple of weeks, at a big event which I assume may be the May 12th event you speak of in NY. We will also hear about it in the weekly playbook soon I think.

They said 1gb

It will come with an 8 g sd card

It is an awesome phone and the screen size is really big and clear. Everyone was so excited to see it.

I was hoping to have more and to take a picture but they wouldnt allow it. Also the kickstand seemed to be pretty strong. I have been following these posts for quite a while and followed Jackson on the Sprint Community since he seemed to know more then us.

everything data plan is needed

same as hero plan.

no prices were disclosed

hopefully i compiled everything... for those that want to continue it, just quote my post and add the new stuff to it

 

[mrk]

Things are crazy in here!

 

[esone1ll]

sooner than June 6. I can still speculate though right?

So the pre-June6 date is pure speculation?

 

[billsmed]

Almost ready...the phone is squished, and the movement of the phone and its splitting / reforming are pretty cheesey to my eyes. Nothing like Motorola's DROID ads, which I think are scary and scary-good.

I'm sure it will look a lot different on TV.

 

[neodorian]

That is killing me. They need to replace the phone. It is not that wide and thick. I am sorry it is not.

Their first youtube ad had the same problem and we all bitched and commented until they re-did it.

Someone over there probably got hold of an internal or preliminary HTC promo and then halfassedly converted it for Youtube.

It's just poor transcoding.

 

[VGPOP]

This is my situation.

I currently own a T-Mobile G1 and my contract expires Sep '10. Since the EVO is coming out in June, I won't wait until September to get it. I don't want to pay for ETF for T-mobile since I only have three more monthly cycles to pay.

What I was thinking is to lower my monthly T-Mobile bill to the cheapest price. $39.99 for 500 mins or so, no internet.

So I will pay about $45.00 in July, August, September. That's $135.00, I don't know how much if the ETF for T-Mobile, but I think it's like $350 or something.

Anyway, my concern is my phone number.

I want to transfer my T-Mobile phone# to Sprint. But I don't know if I can do it after my contract with T-Mobile expires.

Anyone has any idea on the best approach for me?

Thanks in advanced!

 

[thaprinze]

LOL! Looks like Sprint was waiting for twospirits to leave before leaking any info. Poor guy... after all he's done.

 

[AndroidTod]

And how long have i been saying June 6th from? hahaha

Could it be that they are still keeping some things under wraps until the 12th. I could see them only showing a prototype.

 

[eieio]

So the pre-June6 date is pure speculation?

Sorry I am moving while typing.. I know I know..

I do not believe the June 6 date.. For a few reasons.. I am speculating that it will come earlier..

 

[esone1ll]

I'm sure it will look a lot different on TV.

I just viewed it in full-screen on my LCD monitor at work -- looks pretty bad.

Maybe it will look good on a square TV...but that phone just isn't right.

You can always port your number, mobile companys can not stop this. They can however charge you depending on the situation. IF you are out of contract there should be no charge for porting your number though.

They don't have the correct aspect ratio on the video, but I'll bet it will look great on TV. It's definitely an attention getter.

I really don't think it will look all that different...and it's a silly ad, now that I view it a few more times. The phone never actually gets USED in it. Unlike the DROID ads.
