EVO Release Date Speculation Thread! - Page 2

While I welcome the device coming in April, I doubt it for 3 reasons:

1) Sprint said Summer 2010
2) The device was running an early build of the custom 2.1 software, and things like the browser were not running properly (one video the HTC rep said don't go into the browser)
3) Best buy is rumored to pre-sell this thing in May

But Krazy, if the $199 thing on contract is true, that means the phone will be in the $450-500 price range, full retail ($199 + $100 MIR + $150-200 upgrade). I'm crossing my fingers.

No. Sprint won't activate any Android device on a SERO account.

This reminds me of the scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure where Pee Wee asks to see the basement of the Alamo, and everyone in the tour group laughs when the guide says "There's no basement in the Alamo". Not trying to laugh at you, but Android phones are not allowed on SERO accounts.

You will need to tell sprint you want to port your number. Not sure if you can port your number from another carrier, to an existing sprint line. You will need an everything data plan (either individual or family). You can change the plan, but if the plan costs less, you may be charged an ETF. Moving up the plan food chain won't charge you anything.
