Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

[billsmed]

Welcome RoadRash. Wish I could remember where I read it, but they said each cabinet would cost $3600. Of course that doesn't include the fiber optic cabling, the antennas or installation.

 

[bpcooper14]

I think they mentioned in the video the approximate cost of each of those cabinets and i believe it was around the $3500-$3600 range.

 

[SprintFun]

Yes, I got my price estimation from the CNN Money video.

Welcome zfwjs. We were all over that story yesterday. Some thought it was fake, but I think it will the kick off of the EVO 4G and WiMAX media blitz.

Damn, I need to follow this thread more. I didn't really expect to scoop you guys.

I went back several pages and no one was even talking about it.

Its like what a raido show here in St. Louis says "Miss a day, Miss a lot".

I know we have all seen this but I was reading some of the comments under it and noticed this one. This would be great marketing!!!!!!


"If they wanted to be really cool, they would hook the phone up and show the PoP movie on the big screen played from the EVO.."

What do you all think?

I think thats what they are going to do on the event.

...if the event is real. Why haven't Engadget or Gizmodo or any other non-Android blog reported it? What about that glaring typo?

 

[Deleted User]

Odds say yes but I had not given it any thought. This will give the phone a great buzz and highlight a feature that it has that non of the other phones have. What a great way to roll it out if this is really it.

 

[SprintFun]

So do you really think its fake and the Android bloggers are all going to New York for a big elaborate hoax?

 

[billsmed]

The whole thing does seem a little fishy. On the other hand, the timing would be perfect and what a great way to kick off the EVO 4G / WiMAX media blitz. May 12th is only three weeks away.

 

[esone1ll]

So do you really think its fake and the Android bloggers are all going to New York for a big elaborate hoax?

No, not at all. But the typo, and the poor quality of the screencapture of PoP on the device, and the lack of major-outlet media reporting, all point to this being fishy in some way. I'm being skeptical to avoid being disappointed

...if the event is real. Why haven't Engadget or Gizmodo or any other non-Android blog reported it? What about that glaring typo?

I agree. But maybe the typo was done to cause more attention and discussion. Maybe a stunt. I dont know. I'm sure that someone will get fired if it is real and the invite made it pass the final check and no one caught it.

 

[billsmed]

So do you really think its fake and the Android bloggers are all going to New York for a big elaborate hoax?

I'm pretty sure it's real. Just because they left off "4G" doesn't mean it's fake. It's an honest mistake.

Phone Dog has reported on it.

 

[SprintFun]

On the flier, I assume its actually a webpage and the "Register" links to another website, which these guys had to use to register, and its all on the Sprint website...so again, ridiculously elaborate hoax if that's the case.

Maybe they want to cater to the smaller Android based sites, I don't know. Maybe they put in a "no iPhones allowed" stipulation and Engadget and Gizmodo are offended.
