and check this out.

HTC EVO 3D heads to Virgin Mobile as the EVO V 4G | Android Community

Ive really really been wanting the EVO 3D, i almost bought it off contract just to have the device itself. i dont really care about quad core processors and all that new jazz, what really matters is how efficiently the software runs. CM7 is stupidly smooth and fast on my triumph and i couldnt ask for more. I used the EVO 3D and i know its a decent solid phone.

just becuase you CAN buy a 4 core super phone, doesnt suddenly make these phones "bad"

if it comes to virgin im totally jumping ship

Dual core.

Because VM may be getting WiMAX, but the fact of the matter is, the coverage for WiMAX sucks. There is only WiMAX coverage in the super populated areas... even then only some have WiMAX coverage. I just hope everyone realizes that before getting super excited.

I'm in Vegas :D

As long as it's at least 2MB+ I'd be happy. Better than this crappy 700kbps that I'm used to. Off peak hours go up to 2.3MB tho.
 
well i used to have clear internet at my own which was crappy but wanted to try it out and got about 3-5mb down and 1mb up. so getting that on my phone would be great.

Does anyone know if Tucson, Arizona has good coverage?
 
It's not 4g that isn't in a lot of places, it's Sprint's 4g. I live in Louisville, KY and every carrier has 4g for this city but Sprint. My brother has Verizon, has it. Step-Dad has AT&T, has it. Older sister has T-Mobile, has it.

Fine... There's no Sprint WiMAX coverage... Sprint is way behind from every single other company... T-mo, AT&T and Verizon all have 4g (or their version of 4g) coverage almost every where you get signal with them... Sprint... not so much...

Well where I live, I get NO T-mobile and NO AT&T coverage. I mean none. zero bars..
 
I don't care about 4g at all. I am from a small town in central Kentucky so 4g is unheard of. All I care about is good devices and the evo 3d would be a good one! And a fun one to dev with. They can keep the one v! Ill take the evo 3d

I agree. 4G is "unnecessary"; it is more important to have the nicer devices (IMHO).

I'm a heavy web browser so data speeds are quite important to me. I find myself needing info when I'm on the go asap. As long as 3G speeds were consistent 1.5-2MB, I'd be content.

Yea, where i live i barely get 300-400 kbps download, that is not enough for web browsing, well anyway im switching to tmobile as soon as i get my replacement from motorola in a week i think (camera doesn't focus). I'm probably going to get a G2 since CM9 is almost fully functional there.
 
This may be a dumb question but will the motorola triumph be able to use WiMAX and if not can the devs do something to get the mt on WiMAX?
:D

No, triumph doesn't have a wimax antenna, unless you can solder one in :p (or just buy one of those wimax modems) triumph is stuck with 3g :)

WiMAX is all hardware so in short no. The MT would need a different radio soldered onto the board to be able to tap into the WiMAX frequencies.

And ninjured... :/
 
Thanks for the reply guys. Does anyone think if you purchase one of the new phones coming on or right after 5/27 that you can transfer your current grandfathered plan online via the VM dashboard and not by calling Customer service? Do you guys think that would work?

no... You have to put the IMEI which identifies the phone. There wouldn't be a way to legally trick the system.
