sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

why has there been no announcements this year? im just hearing a bunch a rumors, nothing concrete. don't they usually announce their upcoming phones by now?

im due for an upgrade soon but with little development with the epic and the evo soon being outdated i want to wait and see whats coming next?

anybody heard anything about the lack of announcements or leaks?

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I am in the same boat.....still waiting for the evo with a keyboard....or maybe the dual core with a 10 mp cam and amoled and 5 row keyboard :D I know repeat meow

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I'm actually wondering the same thing.. I'm due for an upgrade December of this year so by then epic and evo will be consider outdated I'm sure.. so I want to see what will be the latest then :D

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

everyone is waiting for wp7 :D!

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

Not everyone :D !

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

im in the same boat as you guys. im due for upgrade mid october and ive been eye balling the epic and the evo. i would hate to jump on the epic, then HTC come out with something that is like and evo with a keyboard, more up to date processor, and a better screen with the same size. so is there any news about what is coming? im ready to get out of WM and into Android...not really interested in upcoming WM7 phones.

I'm not sure if Sprint will come out with a new Evo type device until Spring. The Evo was the first of its kind. Verizon just recently released a phone that compares to the Evo.

I would like Sprint to release the next best thing in the Spring and still have the best phone around.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I actually have the EVo and i dont think i will be switching to new phone that would come out this winter BUT it would be interesting what phones are coming out...

Samsung Transform - no keyboard and POTENTIAL for not having a $10 fee forced (I wouldn't count on this though)

More Android for Sprint: Samsung Transform (keyboardless Galaxy S?) and Kyocera Zio » Unwired View

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

Keep an eye out on Verizon announcements too. They seem to have phones that parallel eachother. That new CDMA G2 but nicer looking thing looks sweet.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

wait until early next year, we will have dual core android showing up...hopefully with retina displays...but I doubt it

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

The truth is anybody waiting for WP7 is fooling themselves. Waiting for Microsoft to get WP7 mature enough with innovative features that people want and need are in for a very long wait. I remember waiting years for MS to address problems with their Bluetooth stack. History has shown that MS never seemed to care, they had a monopoly so there was never any need for them to do anything more than the bare minimum, for years MS has totally neglected the platform and their customers. The only thing that keeps people loyal to MS are peoples’ dependence on Outlook and exchange server.

The chances of MS developing an OS that has a user friendly interface with innovative features are slim to none. Actually I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see WP7’s user interface ultimately being a C prompt (C:>) and a stylus with the equipment manufactures having to apply a shell to make it usable.

The best people can hope for is that MS does a less than average job copying Apple and Google. It wasn’t until Apple’s success with the iphone, and later, the success Google had with Android, that MS even started putting any effort into their mobile OS. If MS wants my business in the future they have to earn it, I refuse to give MS the benefit of the doubt any longer. MS must do more than simply copy Apple and Google to win me over. For me, WP7 is dead on arrival, no copy & paste and no tethering equals NOWAY. As soon as I able to upgrade I am abandoning ship and going Android…..

Thanks for letting me vent, and have a great weekend everybody...

Things I'm waiting for:

1) DUAL CORE CPU
the real wait is for dual core chips on the phone which they're currently working on and is most likely to show up soon. How soon is the kicker of course.

2) BETTER BATTERY LIFE
this really does make a difference in usability. But as we demand our phones do more than just voice calls, we're stretching how much give it has. In the very least I expect phones to last me through the day and into the night until I hit the hay when I can plug it in. Then next morning be ready for action (sort of sounds like a pr0n script doesn't it?)

3) amoled 1080p displays with true color. 2/3 of these are currently available in samsung epic. Only thing missing is 1080p

4) Please no more 800x600 rez. Give us more.

5) optical image stabilization

6) good low light camera

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

This is not going to happen...the iphone used a weird resolution and to increase compatibility they upped the resolution by exactly 2x..still leaving a weird resolution..either way there is really nothing that impressive about it and its expensive to manufacture...so OLED is the better way to go...


There should be one soon but it will not take advantage of the dual cores till Gingerbread.and boils down to whether old apps will take advantage of the dual cores as well..

Lol thats a good one...realistically unless we move beyond 1500mah...there is no way you will get better battery life as people demand more features...like say dual cores?


Do you mean 1080p video or 1080p resolution of the screen? if you mean video then Hummingbird can do 1080p read and write...only thing is its not taking advantage of its true potential atm...if you mean resolution..1080p on a small screen like that is a bit much...

we never had 800x600...your thinking of computers...we have 800x480..I guess 720p resolution wouldn't hurt :/

Thats pushing it...most people want a thin phone...asking for that is bound to make it thicker...


A phone is not meant to be a complete camera replacement...at best you can hope for a good camera...a full camera replacement is pushing it...I mean it would drive camera manufacturers out of business >.>

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I was under the impression that dual cores were delayed significantly and were expected to be released sometime in Q3 2011. In the meantime, Samsung was expecting to push the current Epic CPU up to 1.5ghz. My first though was that oh great, now the battery won't even last past breakfast time.

Also, the Samsung Transform is "supposed" to be available for sale (not presale) 10/10/10 according to several sources. I haven't found anything from Sprint directly as far as specs or release date, but the FCC documentation shows that it will have a QWERTY keyboard and no 4G.

Is the phone going to be a mini-Epic in the midrange of Sprint devices? Or is it aimed at the massess who don't quite like the $10/mo 4G coolness tax?

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

For those upgrading to the SERO premium plan and wanting an Android phone but not wanting to pay the $10 4G fee this might be a option. I myself would love a Epic or Evo, but until 4G is available in my area I refuse to pay for a service which I can not use. I am not sure how much longer I can take using the TP2.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I'm itching for a new device as well.

Seems like I'll have to wait a few more months. I'm hoping that early 2011 brings in WP7 and perhaps a new webos device.

Retina displays, what a joke! Lol

Anyhow, CDMA iPhones coming your way for those interested.

Here you go!
Sprint announed a few mid-grade android devices today:

Sprint shows off three new Android smart phones

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

apparently everybody missed the Motorola that will be running embedded with 6.5 on top. it's supposed to be out this month, unfortunately only to sprints business lines.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

Ive seen the announcement of that device back when WP7 was announced...but I guess recently sprint and AT&T decided to hope on...

Though from what I read it uses a PenTile VGA and a 600mhz processor...and a really high price tag...aka unless you plan on fighting a war with that phone your better off with a TP2.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

I received an email telling me that Premier customers get access to the phones 4 days before they're officially out (release date: 10/10/10). The Transform is $150 after $100MIR but man does it have an ugly and seemingly useless keyboard. Still no word on the 4G tax being applied to it.

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

Transform is not a 4g phone....and yes..4 row keyboard makes people sad :/

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

Lame!!!

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

What we call a 4g tax won't necessarily exclusive to 4g devices IMO. Sprint refers to it as "Premium Data" which makes me thing that it may be a fee standard to a lot more devices than those whose name ends in 4g. That executive rep was quotes as saying that premium data is for phones with big screens and fast processors lol. I hope I'm wrong on this but the big S has definitely shown signs of increasing fees and making changes :/

BTW I saw the Transform the other day and man is it hideos in comparison to the Epic! Even the keyboard is somehow worse, which is a feat thought to have been impossible just a few weeks ago D:

Re: sprint fall/winter lineup?
 

The "Premium Data" fee is different than the 10$ 4g Device fee..
The "Premium Data" fee was a way for Sprint to get people on Sero and SWAC plans who were paying nothing for their data plans to pay for data.

Users on these plans have to upgrade to a premium plan +10$ AND pay the +10$ fee everyone else pays to have the 4g phones
