Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

I am able to log in to Sprint now...

Update: New site looks good... not much more I can say. Anybody see anything new or interesting? I do not see anything more about EVO 4G (yet.)

10 hours guys lol

Still more like 24 hours realistically. I doubt they'll do something at the stroke of midnight

Given Sprints track record of over-promising and under-delivering, this is a face-saving method given their financial status...

I agree. I'm just hoping that the EVO, as a device, doesn't under-deliver.

hey for all the people that have actually seen a HD2 in person, is it just me or do all these 3.7 inch sreens look small when you see the phones in person. Like I was looking at the Moto Droid yesterday and was like this screen is tiny. HAHAHA

Yeah, the 4.3" is just ridiculously large. Can't wait!

I'm just wondering if the SS will come with remote wipe and password implementation for Exchange. I can't currently use any Android phone because our IT folks require both of those ActiveSync protocols for any phone used with our company Exchange server.

This is a well known limitation of Android (see an extensive thread at Google: Issue 4475 - android - Support for ActiveSync provisioning protocol - Project Hosting on Google Code )

I hope the issue get's resolved so I can use an Android phone.

This is important to me too... it was such a let down when I got the Pre and Exchange Active Sync was not supported properly I hope I don't have to relive that again.

I purposely had my Wisdom teeth extracted this Tuesday and took the rest of the week off as sick leave so I could rest and read every post. (Not really just happened to turn out that way) Anyway, I just wanted to show my appreciation to this forum and hope that my two cents might be worth something.

Well if the news doesn't come soon about anything EVo, your teeth won't be the only thing you will be pulling out. Your hair.

my take on the timeline, this way i won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen.

I believe you forgot one date:
04/19/2010 ALL Android Forums members receive free EVO's from Sprint

 

[kcs7272]

rude! i was misquoted, i'm filing for slander!

but really, i was kidding. i was just hoping to sweet talk jackson into feeding into my obsession.

Actually since it is in print you have to sue for liable, slander is spoken. :O

Me thinks you have Sprint confused with Google

I get it I made a typo! lol thanks

Me too. It's a wonder anyone will pay $300 up front, and then wait 6 - 8 weeks for the $100 rebate for the Incredible.

I'd say it's worth it. Remember when the Instinct came out and Sprint wanted $200 (after rebates)? And they wanted $350 for the Touch Pro? The Incredible, though it's not the EVO, is a great piece of technology. It's got all the features the other phones on the market have, and a WiFi-N radio on top of that. If I didn't know the EVO was coming, I would consider leaving Sprint after all these years.

The problem is all those who don't know about the EVO yet looking for their next phone and seeing all this information popping up about the Droid and Incredible. They don't know something even better is just on the horizon. Sprint needs to start this full force ad campaign soon (tomorrow, hopefully) or they're going to lose a lot of current and potential customers who aren't aware.

Pretty sure that's just a Spam/phishing site... Read below, copy and pasted from somewhere else reading "Android 2.1"...
