Any word on what the non upgrade price will be?

Well the touch pro 2 speaker is pretty darn good...for a mobile phone at least.

find an old motorola q and you will realize how much better it could be.

Where would I find one of those? lol...

I haven'y used a Moto Q but I remember it had dual stereo speakers instead of 1 so that isn't really playing fair...but how was the audio quality aside from the loudness?

not really when it comes to a reliable source

here is Jackson's post regarding the EVO

the phone will be sold for $199 after a mail in rebate. It will be released the first week of June on either friday the 4th or sunday the 6th. Currently there will be no 4G data plan. If you are in an area of 4G you can simply use it cost free. As 4G service encompasses most of America, the use of minutes will slowly but surely vanish as calls will be made via VOIP, thereby creating an entirely new plan that has yet to be formulated. Cool stuff right there and a sick phone to go with it! Keep you posted

Jackson

when it comes to pricing, my guess is that its gonna be around the 499.99 area since Android devices cost less due to no licensing fees on the OS thus cheaper pricing

it was amazing, I could fill a room and had create quality, it was also a REALLY small form factor so the fact that they crammed two in there was perfectly fair at least in my opinion.

lol I'm a member of the "other forum." It's a general topic forum but a lot of us are tech geeks. The guy is a pretty legit source
