Re: Who here is waiting on the EVO v2 with a keyboard and better specs?

As it stands, the phone seems perfect. If i wanted to be greedy and ask for something on the phone thats not already on it would be the 1.5ghz chip that they plan on rolling out next.
True, the TP2 only has a 3.6 inch screen. However, it also has a stupid zoom bar at the bottom that adds probably at least a half inch to the size. Combine that with the rather large area between the top and bottom of the screen and the edge of the device- which presumably advances in technology could reduce, and I think we could get a 4.3 inch screen in a device the size of the TP2.

It would still be thicker and heavier than an HD2, of course, but it wouldn't have to be as thick and heavy as a TP2.

Anyway, word is leaking that Sprint plans 2 more 4G devices this year after the Evo. Supposedly they will all have front cameras and 4.3 inch screens. So hopefully one of them has a keyboard. Hopefully these guys are credible:
