Who's Switching?

As most of us know, the HTC Evo V 4G (VM's rebranded HTC Evo 3D) is coming to VM in the next few months. I definitely (and happily) will be making the switch to it and was wondering who else will be leaving for the Evo V? :)
 
You will loose your grandfathered $25 month plan, but if you are covered with wimax it is worth it.
 
Won't be able to afford to for a while yet, since I just got my Triumph a couple of months ago (2 Triumphs and various accessories, apps, etc., pretty much ate our tax refund).
 
@Gamr425 - In my opinion, it is MUCH worth it, where I live is heavily covered with Wimax, and I'm fine with forking up $10 more dollars a month :)

@Seanette - You're kinda in a pickle then, but unless you really want it, it isn't much of big deal to switch if you like the Triumph. :D

I actually prefer to hold off on the new stuff for a while anyway. Let the early adopters find the problems. :D
 
My issue is with the obvious hardware issues that the triumph has. I'm willing to pay $10 more to have a phone that I'm not constantly fixing problems with. At least, that's if they don't rush the phone like they did with the triumph.

well considering that all they really need to do is rebrand it with VM's logos and bloatware instead of sprint's... I kinda doubt that there will be many if any hardware changes from the evo 3d so it probably won't be rushed since it has already been made ;).
 
I'll probably switch. Phone's been out for a while now so they probably got majority of the bugs out. Dual core will be nice :D
 
i honostly think VM will dumb the phone down like take away the 3d and the dual core procesor beacuse "it would cost to much to produce" buuut who knows it may be exactly the same just say virhin mobile on it and have there atroucious wallpaper:)
 
I would love to switch. However I can't afford it at the moment. And I'm going off to college in the fall ans will be even more broke!

The thing you need to remember about Roms is the the variations between how sprints we setup and how vms us. Hopefully it wont be to big of a deal. With HTC hopefully they will release good source code. The first thing I would look to do is destroy sense with some sort of aosp rom. Hopefully that phone will attractive alot of developers!

If that was the case, they'd just bring the Evo 4G. I doubt that the investment needed to produce a different hardware revision would be worthwhile for prepaid. Besides, the Evo 3D is old news (to Sprint) at this point... They're passing VM the leftovers, it's not like it's some top of the line phone that they need to make cuts to for it to make business sense.

That said, I will definitely be switching! The specs are still very decent, although I could care less about 3D. My main reason is that the Evo is dual band, and hopefully will get me better reception. The Triumph is atrocious in that regard- my sister's Optimus V gets a consistently better connection! WiMax would be nice too, but I hope VM doesn't tack on $10/month for the privilege like Sprint!

The Evo 3D's that they'd be giving us is probably the ones that they didn't sell under the Sprint banner so they probably wouldn't need to produce a lot more, if any.

For me, the 3D part is a novelty. I most likely wouldn't use it a whole lot. I'm more interested in the dual core side of things.

regardless i hope vm can just get nicer phones period like metro pcs some of there phones are actully quality phones :P

Yeah, but metro pcs is like the East Germany of providers. I used to have their service, and it was impossible to use the phone for anything. Like, why do I want a blackberry where half the features are crippled?
 
The Evo 3D has a pretty well maintained forum here at AF, too (although I might be slightly biased in that regard). I think that of those of you that pick it up, you'll find that any troubles you have will probably already be documented with solutions here on our forum. Including root-centric ones.
 
Maybe one day in a galaxy far far away when WiMax is actually available in Omaha :confused:.... but I'm sticking with the Triumph until then.
