They should do a promotion where you get a free EVO with contract for every iPhone you recycle through sprint AT&T would freak lol

That would be funny! (and effective) but I don't think Sprint is in the position to directly take on ATT and Apple at the same time. I think they are better off just letting the big boys ATT and Verizon duke it out on the airwaves.

This phone will be unique for Sprint in a number of ways. I think the first is that it is and will remain exclusive to Sprint for a long time. Verizon is not ready for 4G and they are planning on using LTE not Wimax.

Second they can boast that it's the fasted smart phone out there. No contest.

If they execute it right, this could be one of the most sought after Sprint phone ever.

It will be the fastest internet wise but not spec wise...Galaxy S just released its specs and it can push 90 million triangles per second with its new processor >.>..that even beats the new snapdragon2 that hasn't come out yet..

Yeah, I meant in terms of the network.

It's good to finally read some "good news" for Sprint. It's been less than a week and already the hype has begun. I can't imagine how it's going to be in the weeks leading up to the launch.

But I imagine Apple trying to steal the thunder with their "misnamed" 4G iphone this summer.

I think they'll keep it 4G simply to confuse people.

Thats not really a good deal though unless you have an older model iphone. Hell 3gs models go for 500+ on craigslist all day long.

my guess is that the price varies on the model..so original iPhone will prob be 100$, iPhone 3g would be 200$ and iPhone 3gs will be 350$ and of course the gb space will make variety...

that said I never said anything about being good deal or not..I just mentioned that Sprint should do a free EVO exchange for an iPhone and T-mobile is copying my idea >.> lol

I agree that it could use some more RAM, however, we may get lucky and find that it's like the HD2 in that more RAM is there, just hidden.

I also agree that Sprint needs to hurry their ace up and get this thing out...if the iPhone OS 4 is out before this, they're going to miss out on those potential sales...and I'm going to be very disappointed. I need/want a new phone now...not 4 months from now.
