Evo FACTS - Combined thread

Holy crap, the amount of FUD being thrown about here is downright depressing, so I figure I'd lump all the FACTS together in one thread:

1 - Release is still scheduled for mid June, and the advocates get the phone in 2 weeks when Advocate training starts. NOBODY outside of Sprint beta testers has this phone right now, I don't care what you read in some random forum.

2 - This is NOT a world phone. No SIM, strictly a CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev A chip, alongside a Wimax chip.

3 - You CAN do data and voice simultaneously but only in 4G areas. Reports are conflicting right now, I'll be able to get further proof in a few days time. As of right now, I was told (beta testers and engineers) that voice will come over the CDMA chip, and data over the Wimax. Of course, we've all heard the Wimax data/VOIP rumors by now. I WILL clear this up shortly.

4 - Appearing in a store in Florida: False. Not sure if the blurry photo was part of a practical joke involving an HD2, but it certainly wasn't an Evo.

5 - The device will ship with 2.1 Eclair, Froyo will be released, but of course no date is set. I figure maybe 6 months as a GUESS, no hard facts to back it up though.

Anything else that I missed?

Re: Evo FACTS - Combined thread

I'll be hopping on the Evo train come mid June (hopefully) when Sprint release it. I hadn't got too much into reading all the new BS about release dates and what not as I have with phones in the past. I learned the rumor mill is out of control and just not worth it. Besides, I work at Best Buy and am kept up to date by the Mobile Mgr. there.

I had wondered about whether or not it was a world phone. Thanks for putting the info out there.

Don't forget to put up that anything seen on Ozcarguide is bull plop. Even if they say the sky is blue they are probably lying.

great write up. one question though: what price do you think they are going to give this device? i was in the Sprint store today and i saw the Touch Pro 2 for $199 after rebate. Im thinking that the Evo will go for $249 after rebates. I really dont care (well i do but...you know what i mean) what the price is. I want this phone. The sad part is that Im not even in a 4G area..........ehh...whomp whomp New York (for now that is.....)

Re: Evo FACTS - Combined thread

I didn't mention price because everything is speculation for now, and this is a facts thread. If I had to guess, I'd say $299, then a $100 rebate afterwards. Again, not a fact, just speculation.

yea I think it's important to note that no one can "officially" confirm anything that is being told to anyone rght now and it will be released soon (also un-confirmed) so we will have to just wait.
