The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

This is the first phone that has really excited me more than my HD2. I mean everything new I hear about this phone impresses me more and more, I am actually thinking of moving back to Sprint to get this one unless something just as sick comes to tmobile.

any ideas of when this bad boy is coming out??

Wow.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I'd say close to the 1 yr anniversary of the EVO....June/July

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

That's my thought exactly!

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

And what upsets me more than anything is how they just changed the Premier package. June is my 1yr,

Will

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

June eh, so a little less than 3 months?

Well I really like this phone, I told myself I wasn't going to get rid of the HD2 for anything less than a dual-core super awesome phone.

I don't like signing 2 yr contracts though, so I wish they had a GSM version of this, because in late fall or early 2012 they'll have quad cores and I'll be drooling over that.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

July 1st, $249.00
Pre Order June 15th
My guess

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

wow is right doc, so your saying your down to get one?

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I am hearing rumors of a June release so far. Should be the Evo 3D and the Evo View 4G tablet at the same time I believe.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I'd get a View if it was bigger than 7".

so the consensus seems to be June/July then, not too bad actually 3 months away. We'll see if HTC can put out an HSPA+ variant :)

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Well the evo launched the first friday in june last year, which was june 4th. So my guess will be that the E3D will launch the first friday of this coming june which will be june 3rd. And it had better be $199, competition is just to stiff right now and $249 is stretching it a little.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Competition is tight but there aren't any other phones coming out that soon that I think compare. If it comes out at $199 then the Evo will have to drop, which I don't see happening purely based on how popular it still is. 8 out of 10 phones that go out the door at my store are still evo's, which will dwindle over the next few months but people will still pay the price.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

$250 might be a little too much for me. Even though I know it has specs better than the $250 Thunderbolt I can't justify spending that much. Maybe I'll just get the evo 4g to hold me over until Evo 3D II comes out...geez they couldnt come up with a better name..EVO 4G 3D II..gonna be a mouthful

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

The evo is more than a capable phone even after a year so I hope sprint don't discontinue the phone but just drop the price to $99 and then sell the E3D for $199. That way they can ride that momentum wave from the E4G and the E3D into 2012.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Historically Sprint only drops the price of phones if sales are dead and/or it is coming to the end of its life cycle.

Evo 4G is far from any of these reasons. Don't look for the price to drop any, remember this is Sprint we're talking about now.

As for the EVO 3D, the specs support a $249.00 price tag and see no reason why Sprint won't sale the crack out of them at this price.

Competetion is tough BUT the best spec'ed device sells best, they hit it last year with equal competing pricing (199.00) and they will hit it this year with the $249.00

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

It is just the Evo 3D so same length name as current evo but 3D used instead of 4G.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I For one hope it goes for $199, i can see sprint dropping the Evo 4G down to about $149. but 250 is a stretch even with 3D hardware. see the Nintendo 3DS went on sale at my job today we only sold 4, people couldn't justify spending 250 on a piece of hardware that wasn't much different from a DS or DSXL many were ready to buy it until they saw that hefty 249.99 tag. i believe the same will go with the Evo3D, people(Average Consumer) will say an extra 50/100$ because for 3D? nope ill take the older cheaper model which is still a great phone.

thats just my 2 cents

Vzw is selling the thunderbolt for 249 which is essentially the same phone as the evo though almost a year later. I would bet money that the evo 3d will go for 249 as well...

Tapa tapa tapa

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Hopefully your wrong! Verizon does't care because their number 1 right now, they have proven that they have stupid customers by removing special priced plan & the long existing customer have been strip of all the goods, then increasing the prices!!! Sprint can't afford to be that reckless, especially if they won't lure people in...I say drop the evo 4g to 149.99 and tag evo 3d 199.99 as it make sense! I agree with PhyscoAssasinx with the Ds comment he made, cause the Evo 4G can still hold it's own. Trying to charge that 250 for that 3D crap that not popular is ridiculous...

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Don't sweat the $250 price tag fellas. You know Amazon and Wirefly will be discounting it if you buy through them. They had the thunderbolt at $180 and Amazon had it for $199. I'm not worried at all.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

You can't really compare the increased price of the 3DS to a possible increased price of the Evo 3D. The 3DS is a one trick pony...gaming only platform that isn't that much better than the versions that it is replacing. You can't tell me that the increase in processing power, ram, battery size, and camera hardware isn't worth a measly $50 increase over the Evo.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Touche.....

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

Again i was pointing it out on an average Consumer (The people who dont care about rooting, processor,rom/ram and only see 5MP instead of 8MP not upgraded Camera sensors & Etc.) most people that ive talked to honestly believe the only upgrade is the 3D Screen & 3D Camera and when i tell them about ram rom dual core's etc. they look at me like i'm a Martian

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

yeah man for real.

A 1st gen snapdragon jump to a 1.2 dual-core and the double RAM, camera, 1080p out, I mean it's a beast and a half.

^^ what he said ^^

Tapa tapa tapa

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I like that phrase, sounds kinda catchy and marketable. "THE EVO 3D..........YES, IT'S A BEAST AND A HALF"

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

When the EPIC came out it was priced at 249.99, so i do see them pricing the EVO3d over 199.99. Sure down the road it got a price cut due to sales, but still I do see them pricing the phone over the 199.99 mark.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

What ever on price, $199- $249.99, you know you pay a premium for being bleeding edge. PPCGeeks and XDA have made my TP2 usable long after I broke my Moment. (fell in love with android on that pile so I know the potential on a FREAKING AWESOME piece of hardware)

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

I heard early summer, June, and possibly $199.99

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

You're right, the average consumer would say that, but no one who is registered at this site fits that category. Even still, with the increased processing power, and 3d features, even "average" people would be able to understand a slight price increase, especially if they don't drop the price of the Evo 4g.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

*sigh* I signed a new contract to get my Evo 4g for $199. 2-Year contract.

I'm guessing I'd have to dish out about $550 for an Evo 3D. Damn it...lol. It's gonna be like having an iphone. New phone every year.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

first or second week of June is pretty safe guess..

Instinct, Pre, Evo all came out early June last few years..

the June Release is always Sprint's Launch for its Flagship device for the year...

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

indeed, awesome market phrase, epic sig :)

you'll be able to get them bnid and 1 week used on craigslist or other 3rd party vendors for like $350 or so pretty fast after its release, it's always like that with new phones without the letter i in the beginning, that's what I'd probably do, cuz you can sell your Evo for $250 or so and if you play your hand right only dish about $100 or so.

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

You really think I could get $250 +/-?? I figured I'd only get maybe $100. Hmmm....does make sense, though.

THANKS!!!

Re: The official "when's it coming out?" thread
 

If your phone is in good condition you can get 250 easily. Hell I have seen evos with bad esn's go for the same price. The evo is still in high demand even though its been out for 10 months, so if you are gonna sell yours within the next 2 months or so I don't see why you shouldn't get at least $200 minimum for it.

Ok at the sprint site is saying realese luanch date 4-11-2011 ill link the site in a bit
