Looks like I'm jumping ship to either AT&T or T-Mobile soon. I don't exceed 2 GB of monthly data usage, and I'm paying a premium for unlimited data as well as 4G that I haven't used in any regular basis. In fact I can only count a few times that I've used that service.
I'll be saving at least $20 a month if I switch. For this reason alone, there's only 2 options I have available to suit my needs. This would be the S3 and the upcoming iPhone 5.
It has been a good two years, but I will be moving on when the iPhone 5 comes out, and compare it with the Samsung S3. If by some miracle HTC flagship phone comes out with expandable storage and user replaceable beatteries, I might include it to my next phone candidates list.

I finally rooted my phone last night with an ICS build. Its made it a completly new phone for me. I plan on holding on to my phone now for a while longer until there are a few quad core phones out and I will decide what to get then.

Could always restore a sense based nandroid for those special occasions.

So here is a question I posted else where...
The company I work for is shutting down their BES server either by the end of the year or early next year.
I currently have a personally owned Blackberry that I use for work and an OG EVO as my personal mobile phone.
So my thinking is that I might get a new LTEVO as my personal phone. Then I might strip my OG EVO and make it my work phone.
Or I could sell my OG EVO or trade it in.
Let me know what you think
i really do not like BB's in general. why would you part ways with your evo? i'd say keep it. it is so much better then any blackberry anyways. if you root your phone(unless it is rooted already), your phone will be that much better. Plus the dev community is still going strong even though the phone is over two years old now!
that is what i would do, but ultimately that is your choice to make.

Aside from my stupid weather widget not giving me my local weather I still like my EVO 4g. Waiting to see if Sprint gets a phablet.
LMAO a "phablet". LOL who really wants big a$$ phone in their pocket. the evo 4g and the evo lte is the perfect size for me. any bigger and it kind of starts to get ridiculous. i mean have you seen the galaxy note (the phone not the new 10.1" tablet that is out now)? i can't see putting that beast in my pant pockets..

There's nothing wrong with a phone like the note, but it's not for everyone and maybe not for many that buy them. I have one friend who owns a note and loves it. OTH I have 4 acquaintances who bought one and returned it. The common issue was that it's all but impossible to use the thing one handed. One friend was really nervous about the return because she dropped it due to its ungainlyness (she tried to place a call one handed) . Fortunately tmo was willing to overlook the damage. Most think they need to get past its pocket ability or looking silly holding it to the ear. It's owning a phone that requires 2 hands at all times that I see as the hurdle. If you're waiting for a note2, I highly recommend you try to get a similar sized device like the note and try it out for a day or more. You might find you don't need to wait. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I've thought about the size but I really wanted something I could use more like a PC while still having phone capabilities. I have a bluetooth so no need to keep the big phone next to my ear but I haven't really tested one out so I need to do that before I really decide that I need one.

Just upgraded to the ltevo guys. It was a rocky root without proper internet but I got it . Such a good phone its a little beast in aluminum. Need to over clock and see what it can really do now. Seriously guys damn good phone. The og is still kicking, gave it to my mom since he sanyo flip broke. No wonder right?

yep the dev community for the og evo is amazing. i can't believe that there still coming out with these roms that are truly amazing. and it totally makes me miss my og evo.
Can't believe I haven't been back to android forums in almost a year. Still using the OG. Plan on moving to WP assuming Sprint will offer a Nokia 920 by years end, if not, I could see myself keeping the Evo for another 6 months. Bought a 32GB card a few months back which was a nice upgrade and made it feel a little newer.
