If Sprint gets the CDMA iPhone, will you consider it over EVO 4G?

Why would you even buy an iphone in the first place? There's nothing interesting about the OS at all.

Stick with Android OS and you will never get bored.

You do realize there is more support for apple products like the ipod than any other product that can compare?

the Hero Contacts and Calendar were OK, but not as easy to use as the old PalmOS IMO.

Nothing is as good as POS PIM. Palm really had that down. I have used the calendar on the Droid and it isn't too bad. I like the webOS calendar, it is just slow (Not so much anymore on 1.4 though).

No chance of me ever buying an iPhone, even if it came with a quad core CPU.
 
Never I have played with iphones thats about it. The phone is just too damn easy to use. Even though I do not even know the specs of the new 4g iphone I know the Evo4g will pwn it.

Oh and the music player is awful on android compared to iphone, but thats not really a deal breaker to me since im sure thre has to be some sort of replacement if you root

For anyone that is really serious about music, nobody is going to use their phone as their main source for music storage.

i would never consider an iPhone, a locked down pile of crap with the same interface over and over and over again... no customization no NOTHING a nice MP3 player yes, but that it what my iPod is for, i don't need a phone to have the top of line MP3 player in it... i will never even think of the iphone over evo... BLEH

A locked down piece of crap? No nothing? You best remember before it there was indeed nothing.

It's tempting but I'll stick with the EVO 4G. With Android being open source and all of the Google services I can't pass it up as well as 4G.
 
i think iphones are just plain and boring. nothing new and amazing with an iphone. i will take the evo any day.
 
I would buy it over the Evo if it looked like this lol. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it wont

I wish phone/pc developers would realize how ugly bezel is. There is nothing sexier than a nice screen with little to no bezel
 
4g is being designed to blanket entire areas with wireless and is already running internet and phone service with Clear and Sprint. I highly doubt adding two 4g phones to the mix will even make the network flinch. For those that don't have 4g, who cares? For those that do, it won't be an issue. And you just might have two 4g phones if the 2nd gen webOS phone is 4g.

Actually considering how data intensive the iPhone is, I don't think that would be a good idea for Sprint now. After the full roll out of 4G, well now that's another story entirely.

Palm has been designing devices for 13yrs and they still haven't figured it out. They are idiots. Heck, it took them five generations of smartphones to just develop something as thin as the Pixi.

Hey guys I just got off the phone with a Sprint Rep, and we were just BS'ing about the EVO and me not getting the Premiere Customer e-mails. Anyway's he was talking about this phone dominating the market and for some reason the stupid Iphone came up in this conversation. But according to the sprint rep it is suppose to come to sprint this fall. Take it however just passing the info along.

For starters, I do not see how that article indicates that Sprint might get a iPhone.
Second, the EVO will still in my opinion be a better phone than the iPhone HD.

I have an iPhone 3GS now but I am really looking forward to the EVO but the one draw back about the EVO is that you can't talk on the phone and use the Data connection at the same time(see link below). My iPhone is perfect for what I need it for right now because my job has me on the phone a lot and then I have to look up things over the internet while I am on the phone but I usually carry two phones anyway (I also have a sprint blackberry) one being a work phone that the company pays for and the other being a personal one so in this case I might end up with both since I am tired of AT&T's high plan price and my Sprint contract is up in May.

Actually the article does not say the Verizon will get the phone either. What it says is that they will produce a CDMA iPhone which happens to be the technology that Verizon uses.

While Apple has unveiled a new iPhone every June or July since launching the product in 2007, the new model with CDMA capability, the cellular technology used by Verizon, is notable because Apple and AT&T Inc. have long had an exclusive relationship with the iPhone. That has given AT&T a competitive edge over other carriers including Verizon for the last three years.
The people briefed on the matter said one of the new iPhones is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which produced Apple's previous iPhones. The model that has CDMA capability, used by Verizon Wireless, is being manufactured by Pegatron Technology Corp., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan's ASUSTeK Computer Inc., said these people.
One person familiar with the situation said Pegatron is scheduled to start mass producing the CDMA iPhones in September, but it was unclear when Apple might make the model available.

They are assuming that if that is the case then Verizon would get it. Guess what, Sprint is also a CDMA company, so who knows who really is going to get, if at all...
