When will Sprint offer Motorola Android devices?

For laflavor Sprint is still supportiung the moment. Whether it is great or not. Even if the phone is EOL. Sprint does wait til later in the year to announce more cause they want to see if their roadmap will remain competitive to others already announced lineup. The EVO is just now being readily available in stores without having to wait for it to come in. Whether it is six months old or not it will certainly have to the staying power and will not go out quickly.

As for the rest of the thread coverage, cost, phone is the best way to decide.
 
Some of the other new HTC phones going to ATT and VZW are the EVO in new clothes: LTE for VZW and HSPA for ATT.

What's wrong with the Evo or Epic? And what carrier will you be switching to? What is the cost differential?

To jump just for a "line up" of devices is dumb. It's not like you're buying the entire line up. You get one phone to use, not the entire line.

The Evo is a much bigger device than what I would like to carry around with me. If it were sitting on a table 24/7 it wouldn't be so bad. But when I'm "mobile" I want a device that's not going to require 2 hands for me to use. My friend has an Evo & she loves it. I'm not going to deny that it's a nice phone. It's very nice. But it's big.
The Epic is a very nice phone. Unfortunately they stuck a physical keyboard on there that I could do without. If it weren't for the physical keyboard I would have gotten one when it came out. I realize I don't have to use it but as has been said many times already, it's another part to break and just adds bulk to the phone.
Give me an Evo that's the size of an Epic & I'd be happy! Take off the $10 up-charge for 4G & I'd be even happier. At this point I'm not even going to gripe about the extra $10/month if I can get a phone that works great in a decent size, without a keyboard.

You're right, switching for a line up is dumb. I'm asking for 1 phone, I don't even care about a whole line up!

If I switched to Verizon I would be paying double what I am with Sprint & I would be getting less. Other than being bound to a contract with Sprint that's what's holding me back from switching. What good does it do to be eligible for an upgrade if there's nothing worth spending the upgrade on? :cool:
 
The Atrix may be a great phone, granted, and nobody here wants to see it come to Sprint any more than I do... but so is the Evo. You're really going to sacrifice the power, speed, and pricing of the best carrier in America for something as foolish as that? What, the Evo suddenly isn't good enough for you?

Sprint NEVER fails to deliver in May/June/July. Show a LITTLE loyalty?? Go on, leave Sprint. Go to AT&T. We'll be here to accept your apology when you come back within a month.

Nobody here said the evo isn't a good phone. But, some of us don't want to spend several hundred dollars on a phone that old, since technology is being replaced so quickly in the phone world. I don't think most of the people complaining are the ones with evos. They're the ones who purchased a hero or a moment a year or so ago, and now have underpowered devices running an obsolete OS which can't take advantage of all the new sweetness that Android has to offer. And if we buy a 6 month old phone now, we're worried that we're going to be left in the same boat in another year's time.

These are the speeds I'm getting with my awesome sprint 3g connection, on my brand spanking new evo (thankfully still within the 30 day return period).

Where on earth does this loyalty come from? If sprint isn't the best option, hardware or service-wise, what's my incentive to stay? I could pay $10/month more for verizon, get newer hardware, LTE 4g by the end of the year (whereas sprint won't say when that might be available to me), 10x the speed on the 3g network, and by all accounts some of the best service in the mobile industry with coverage in far more locations.
 
Never hopefully HTC in my opinion makes a better device and is wayyyyyyy better looking especially with the new Sense compared to Moto Blur. Let Verizon and AT&T have Moto, it's not like HTC and Sprint are just gonna stand by and let them take over. Just wait I bet something mind blowing is in the works as we speak.
 
I have to agree with edubble79, I have a Motorola I1 and two samsung android phones. The I1 was introduced last summer with android 1.5 about the same time android 2.2 came out=sad. Samsung is slow with updates but with Motorola there are non ever. Of the three android phones I have and a few others of freinds that I played with, the Motorola I1 is the poorest excuse for an android phone I have seen yet. However it is the nicest Nextel PTT phone we have had, and the PTT works perfect. So I hope to not see more Motorola phones on Sprint.
 
Well thats cool a phone that looks like a blackberry but runs on android. By the time it launches it will be outdated by more than a year.

Motorola i1Q headed to Sprint Nextel? | Android Central

honestly the phone looks amazing for nextel, unfortunately it doesnt look like a powersource (still dreaming). doesnt look rugged up front however the rear is very rubberized, and why are the latin countries getting these phones before u.s.? imagine if nextel created the technology to become a pay app for all devices! I think I am going to buy overdrive mobile hotspot and then I will be one of the few people with 3g/4g nextel device!
 
Moto is in deep with VZW and ATT where the most customer potential is and the deeper pockets are.

I hope Sprint learned after the Pre debacle that it can only go so many close-ties and should only do them when they're game-changers like the Evo.
