Any new phone rumors for Sprint?

I don't like waiting either, but I'm not going to jump on the first nice phone that pops up. I really would love a Nexus device, but no expandable memory won't work for me. I'm not a fan of Samsung, but they have really improved. I'm also having fun with this waiting game. I want to see all the reviews first. And then get a chance to handle them for myself. If I was going for just looks, it would be HTC all the way. But since I'm going to be stuck with this device for a while, I need it to work for my needs. I need it to last more than 4 to six hours when I'm out traveling and can't recharge my phone. Don't know how many times I've ran into that problem.

This is the first year that I'll be waiting until HTC, Motorola, and Samsung have released their phones. I'm planning on looking through all the video reviews, specs, etc...prior to making a decision. It's a very strange experience for me, as I've normally made my decisions pretty instantly (based on specs and overall needs).
 
The thing is, this year there are alot of beastly phones coming out and its going to be a real battle to decide which is best for you. For me, its between the EVO LTE and the GS3.
 
If there really isn't much difference in the phones as far as spec wise, then I will most likely go with HTC. I'm hoping that they will, or someone will, make a battery case for the phone. I know the Iphone has them. I can't see why anyone else would not make one HTC.

That's an advantage that Apple has with the iPhone. They have 1 proprietary design, so it benefits the 3rd party accessory manufacturers more to make a single accessory, since it'll work with all the iPhones.

With multiple manufacturers making different designs for Android phones...it would take too much time for them to make an accessory for the multitude of designs.

If the money is right, it could happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Seidio came out with something.

If this is the new S3, the One X easily beats it in the look department. Maybe the back might be more appealing, but the front is bleh so far.

It honestly reminds me of how the htc touch pro looked, from the front, when it came out. We'll see. I dunno how real it is. I don't believe anything truly until it's formally announced.
 
I find all these rumors to be hilarious. Not once have we received any kind of information that holds weight outside of the "new SGS" device to have quad-core A9 arch-based internals.

Be that as it may - what in the world is Sprint going to announce at CTIA? With all these rumors flying around, I forgot there even was still CTIA coming up in a few weeks.

I forgot about CTIA also. Maybe Sprint will tell us more about the next Photon. Or maybe give us some information on their version of the GS3. Who knows? But it will be interesting to find out because Sprint has normally waited for this event to give us their flagship device.

It'll be fun to see, but at the same time, disappointing if there's nothing. Summer is usually Sprint's time to release their monsters for the year, so we'll see. They're not doing much better in obtaining new and keeping old customers.

Precisely. I kinda feel like CTIA is going to be a disappointment since all the big news has already been more or less announced. Only time will tell, I suppose.
 
So, I've been following the pre-release talk on the HTC EVO 4G LTE and someone posted the S4GRU article today about the pre-order and release date for the phone:

EVO LTE Pre-Order under way with ship dates as soon as May 15th - Sprint 4G Rollout Updates

Interestingly enough, the actual release date for the LTEvo is not really what caught my eye. What caught my eye was their being given permission by their source to also release the document they were given that stated a later release date for the LTEvo and more importantly, the OTHER device that nobody seems to be talking about that's on the timeline below the LTEvo:

The device is listed as "NDA 105" w/ the same processor as LTEvo. The projected "lab exit" is 8/17. I wonder if this is the Sprint SGS 3 or possibly the Motorola Photon Q?

My guess would be Photon.
