Speculation Post by me

NY and LA are lit up and probably on track for the dates of the Premieres.

The June dates I think where read herrings to throw the competition off

The specs listed are partially true but will be much better than advertised

The device released to stores are not complete devices with full specs, but demos for training and the real specs will be revealed on launch date.

4g is a must for this device to shine.. Yeah the specs are good but it shines on 4g..

4g roll out is going better than expected.

The I-Phone.. The fake dates are so competitors get relaxed or try to plan an offense/defensive..

I have heard from two sources the phone is complete and ready to ship, but they wanted to be prepared for demand and not be sold out. So the units on hand will be staggering..

No BB advance notice, everyone will get it at the same time to avoid leaks to the public..

I have know for a fact that the 4g coverage is greater than advertised.. It might not all be turned on at one time but the roll out is further along than advertised.

As much as the consumer/you guys want this phone.. Business and industries have been pre-sold on this device and wimax services..

Wimax is going to be huge.. LTE is more hype right now.. Wimax is a home run..

I got more but will do it in stages

Ok I'll bite.. :)

For one, what specs do you think are going to improve and how much so? Also the comment about the businesses and industries being pre-sold on the phone... Does that mean that certain corporations with partnerships or agreements with Sprint will be getting the phone early? Wouldnt that contradict the "leaks to the public" problem? And lastly, obviously like you said this phone will shine when on 4g but it should be impressive on 3g as well right? I live in the Tampa, FL area and have no idea when we will be getting 4g so it'd be nice to know the phone will still out perform every other option even on 1 leg so to speak.

I think its ready to go. But they are waiting for the 4g roll out to meet expectations..

If this is not the answer you want be more specific

I meant is it possible they will announce the release date two weeks before launch like the incredible or one week like with the iPhone last year?
 
OK than, eieio, things are going so well with the roll out for 4g why have we not heard, seen, smelled, tasted any 4g any where. Some people with the 4g hot spot still say they do not have coverage in all places, if it is ahead of schedule the happy consumer should have notice and so far nothing.
 
eieio is right on with what i have been saying. He can't be lying because our stories match up.

Memory will be increased with a few other "surprises". You'll like it believe me =]

eieio check your inbox bro

Processor, memory and software..( I think the software will come as an update) I think it will be updated regularly for about 6 months..

Not just corporations but specific industries, Medical, construction, Government and Major Corporations..

They wont be sold early but previewed early.

On 3g its the Incredible. On 4g its The EVO.. If the incredible excites you then this is a great phone. When you get 4g its a superior phone..
 
I can answer one of your questions if eieio doesn't remember the particulars. I believe it was last Saturday when he said Tampa should have WiMAX within the next 30-45 days. One of my contacts PM'd me and said he thought MacDill Air Force Base would have a big pull as far as Tampa getting WiMAX. Makes sense to me.
 
well imagine the outcry if Sprint yells "World's First 4G Phone! Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread!" and the 4G network is not ready or incomplete. imagine the PR/Marketing nightmare. the EVO is the 4G Network showpiece. the network must be ready.

The towers go up and they are live. Then it takes awhile to perfect the coverage. they learned from their mistakes. So when a city goes live they need it to be right not half ass coverage..

Since you in the DC VA MD area that area will be one of the best covered area in 30-45 days including on the metro.

Yeah, MacDill makes a lot of sense.. Any idea how far the signal will reach? I'm actually in St. Pete but I work in Tampa so I wonder will I only get to use it when I'm up here. Either way 30-45 days is a lot sooner than the answer I expected. Thanks guys.

umm no lte is the future wimax is only a stopgate casue it was easier to implement it at the time and get out thier before lte. LTE is the future and always has been so says wimax chief and Dan hesse at CTIA keynotes. If you say WiMAX is the future how come sprint is already talking about moving to LTE in a few years?

to bad evo didnt get the processor the samsung galaxy S has a mmmm 36% the power of a ps3 would be nice
