To buy HTC EVO or not?

Well what exactly are you looking to do with your phone..and what is it your hoping to improve from what your doing now? based on that you can make your decision. Some people also chose to sell their TP2s, right now it goes for around 150+ easily depending on the condition.

Check out Radio Shack. I think they have $100 deals.

The problem is he has to first convert to Sero Premium which as far as I know/heard a 3rd party retail cant do..

i'm in the same situation as the OP. i have a TP2 and i'm hesitant to move on. i love having the physical keyboard but i could get on board with an on screen display or swype. i'm scared sprint is going to release a dual core phone or something in 6 months and we will be looking at our Evo's pissed off... with CES 2011 right around the corner, i'm wondering if this would be smart for me to wait instead... the Shack has the Evo for $100 signing a new two year agreement...

all EVO's can be rooted relatively easily right?
has anyone who has used a droid x global or droid incredible or samsung epic or similar phone been disappointed with their EVO's speed?

It will always be like this, in 6 month there will definitely be an EVO 2 and maybe an Epic 2 and etc...boils down to what you need today...if you want a keyboard, why not just get an Epic? (remember you have 30 days to try them, so you can try them all and see what fits you best, if none of them fit your needs wait)

chasing whats going to come out in 6 month is an endless cycle..

Yes that is true. But most new phones now are announced 3-4 months instead of 6. Plus the tp7 and evo shift have a release time frame which is mostly verified. When the evo was announced it came out as expected. So waiting won't be that bad with all these companies churning new phones left and right. But that's fine, if you don't want to wait then by all means go ahead and sign a 2 year contract. Just don't complain when the evo shift or htc pro 7 come out in less than 4 months.

The Tp7 is not an upgrade, it pretty much has same hardware as the EVO...the EVO shift will probably be an upgrade somewhat.

But overall I think he is referring more to things like the LG Star and etc...

I just bought my wife one on radioshack.com and it was 99.99 and comes with a free crappy plantronics bt and free shipping... I just hope she let's me play with it a lil, cause I sure do miss thehtc upgrade sections

You can be on SERO and buy your phone at Radio Shack.

I was on the original SERO 500 and called Sprint to upgrade to SERO Premium this afternoon. They were going to wait until the next billing cycle to do so but I told them I was going to upgrade my phone today and needed it rolled out today. She said no problem and did so.

I then spent an hour or so at RS while they kept trying to upgrade me like regular accounts even though I informed them that they would need to call. Needless to say they finally called it in to Sprint and the rep activated the Evo for them.

Out the door the phone was $104 after tax. They are running a special this week in store: $199 for new plans/upgrades - $100 when you trade in ANY working phone. I traded in a 3+ year old T-Mobile SDA. I also have to pay Sprint an $18 "upgrade" fee.

Here's a shortcut.....have them call 1-700-FOR-HELP to get you going with Sprint and SERO. Good luck!

ANY phone? Ima hafta check that out today then. Was the $18 the only fee that you had to pay Fam?
