If you can somehow convince HTC to change the ESN with 2 devices then that is legal...if anyone other then the manufacture does the change..its illegal...even if someone does the ESN change on the device, it is illegal to be in possession of that device altogether.

If you have to blame anyone..blame the jerks who tried to make easy money by stealing others ESNs through cloning...

On sprint your only choices of top end phones is either an EVO or upcoming Epic 4g
Thanks for the heads up, and yeah, that sucks. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the Evo, and the Epic has some impressive stats (though, I personally have never had good luck with Samsung).

However, there are SO many magnificent phones that we (Sprint users) will never get to use. I still vote for one universal band that will work with any phone (keep dreamin, I know, lol).

It is sad when I have to have 2+ Carriers just to use the phones I want.

Though, Would I be able to get the Incredible and then be able to use it via Wifi from the Evo (or from my house or work)?

...basically everywhere I am at I have access to at least one WiFi Network.

Again, thanks for the proper 411

A day like that may actually come...most of the world is switching to LTE and Sprint lately decided to build out an TD-LTE network alongside the wimax network. If everyone goes LTE, we will finally be able to have that possible...


You could use Wifi..but remember Wifi drains more battery and you will only end up using it for data then? See sprint almost got the Nexus One (same as Incredible)..they even made a press release for it being released..and then they backed off at the last minute

Re: Question About Sprint

Sadly I know all to well how Sprint (and Verizon) dropped the N1 ball. I was full go on getting one and then they stuck us with that "just buy an Evo" bs. that is horse crap, maybe some of us wanted an Evo and a Nexus....

but NO, we just can't have that, can we Sprint?
