The next question seriously is... What do we do now? Why you ask? I really loved my phone for the first year I had it. It's been rooted since day one so I never got around to Gingerbread, and after awhile was glad about not upgrading. In any case, yes it would be nice to have ICS on my EVO 4g but lets face facts. Their isn't enough memory on it to begin with, I am constantly running low on memory. (The 3d has twice the RAM) Plus Sprint should be selling 4g LTE phones by summer of next year. They plan on keeping WiMax up in the areas it currently is running in but they will not add any new areas, which means if you travel your stuck in 3g. So I ask myself, why keep a phone that will run slow on ICS AND is 5 times slower on it's internet access even when I'm running 4g which I'm being forced to pay an extra $10 a month for?

Ocnbrze, do you know the difference between RAM and drive space? Partitioning will do nothing for the lack of memory. It will also do nothing for the wiMax vs. lte issue not to mention they should have used wireless n instead of g like they did in the thunderbolt.

ok first off the specs is for the evo shift and not the og evo, unfortunately. second the og evo is an eol phone so there will be no further updates coming to the beloved evo. the only option really is to root your phone and flash an ics rom which there are now a few of them. they are all in some form of alpha or beta versions as of now.
also i do not trust everything i read on the net. i am sorry but the christian post is not a place that i will get my latest tech news from. i am not try to diss the website, but there are better sources to get tech news from.
no ICE CREAM for our Evo...I too will not get my info from that site...the guy had no idea what he was talking about.
i have had ICS on my evo for weeks. so far i havent gone back to Cm7
