I'm still holding onto hope for an upgraded Nexus for us.
That would be sweet, but doesnt look like its going to happen. Here are some leaked internal doc's on Sprint's Galaxy Nexus. Training for Sprint’s Galaxy Nexus Started Today, Slides Confirm Everything but the Release Date - Android Life: An Android Community Blog
Still a great phone, especially if you're into the pure Google experience.
I think I'm leaning towards the EVO One X (or whatever it ends up being called), should find out more about it on 4/4.

You expected the Nexus to have an SD card slot? While the rumors of the upgraded camera sensor and CPU clock were nice, I knew it wasn't going to happen that way. I just didn't see Sprint having Samsung add that in. They were too busy putting all their eggs in the iPhone/One X basket. One more day for the Sprint/HTC announcement! Super excited!
Did any of the Nexus phones have SD card slots? I can't remember. When I heard that the Verizon Nexus did not have it then I became disappointed. I thought Sprint just might do something different. But it doesn't look that way. It seems they only do something different with HTC. And that's fine with me. I just hope that is new EVO will have an SD card slot. And it is very possible since we know that the One X has a sim card slot. That slot could be modified for the SD card slot. And yes I'm excited about this phone. More excited than I was about my original EVO and 3D.

I'm stoked about this new Evo. I have had the original for 2 years, and the battery life is KILLING me!! I would love to see this rectified. I also had to root my phone to get proper 3g coverage. Without it I could never get internet going outside of being on wi-fi..hopefully that will not be an issue again either.
I was in the Sprint store this morning having my EVO 3D looked at for a digitizer issue. The tech was talking to me about the One X. He said it will have 16gb internal storage and a SD card slot unlike the other models being released. He seemed pretty sure of himself.

Only the Nexus One had an SD card port. Neither S or GNex have SD card ports. However, I do think we will see one in the 'EVO One X'.
Ehh, I don't listen to anyone from Sprint besides Dan Hesse. If he says it, you know it is coming. Other than that, it is all hearsay.

That's rumored info that's been out for a week or two. He was just repeating what we already know, he doesn't know anymore than we do.
I hear you, but I wasn't even interested in talking phones. He was just letting me know what was on the horizon. I guess we'll all know tomorrow.
I had a Sprint employee tell me that they know when we know. I always try to see if I can get some information out of them. I find that most of the time, we know more than they know. But we will find out tomorrow hopefully.

It is happening in NYC. I'm assuming the times listed are Eastern Time (ET), your time zone.

I wish I could be.
I was jumping out of my skin waiting for the Evo 4G (though admittedly a lot of that had to do with the Samsung that I was holding at that time).
I was then incredibly eager about the follow up. The Evo 3D! But then came a huge disappointment. A real slap in the face for its form, button layout, lack of kickstand, and minimal upgrades.
Now, I'm really just jaded from the 3D. And although I want the Evo One/Two/Three (Whatever it's called. They seem to call it the Evo "One" but it's really the second "Evo" since the 3D wasn't really in line with he first, but if you think it was then the "one" is actually the "three"), that's IFF it only has a few key physical features. But I'm not going to hold my breath this time.
In my case, its Dan, (what was) SprintFeed, and s4gru.
WTF?

My invite has a different time. hmmmm I guess the 5:30 - 7:30 is for the media and Dan speaking, my invite shows doors opening at 8:30 for the 8:30- 10PM event.
Damn, I really wanted to see Dan Hesse in person. I admire any corporate man in jeans and sneakers, and not in the usual zoot suit.

I forgot about S4GRU >_< !
In any event, I was hoping that it was earlier in the day also. Looks like I'll have to wait until Thursday morning for the news lol. No way I'm staying awake for that crap.

Can you say After Party!?
Fear not I have it on good authority that Mr. Hesse will be making an appearance at the After Party, on the dance floor. Rumor has it he really likes to boogie down. If you think jeans and sneakers are casual just wait until you see his dancing get-up: Zubaz pants, Moon Boots, and a Mr. T style gold chain with letters CEO stamped into it, and nothing else.
Lmao
I remember getting my EVO 4G like it was yesterday. I was in line at Radio Shack at 6am. I had my Touch Pro in my hand. Yes the first Touch Pro. Had no idea what Android was about. All I knew is I wanted that EVO phone. lol.
I really like my EVO 3D but I need more memory. This phone has been giving me a few problems. And this is my second one. I only had one EVO 4G. It worked until the day I sold it back to Sprint. I wish I would have kept it. I am looking forward to see what Sprint is bringing this summer.
