There is no other phonr sprint carrys that comes even close to the Evo. The Epic lacks in a few areas...atleast i think it does.

My sister has the epic. It smokes the evo. The evo is nothing special. Honestly my tp2 running android is just as good as that,c maybe not as fast but still more than 10 dollars a month cheaper and has 2 os's on it ;-). But the epic is def. Better than the eevo IMO. Evo feels chintzy and cheap I donno maybe its just me but it looks and feels like a kids phone.

Yeah - What he said!


I think a lot of us are feeling like we are parked in the driveway after flying down the freeway for six months. I bought my EVO June 4th and it seemed that something new was happening every couple weeks. Upgrades were coming out, stock Roms were getting hacked, battery life was getting extended... everyday was Christmas Eve. But since 3.70, the dust has settled.

I guess, until Gingerbread gets released, we will be wondering around flatland.

Ive been bored with mine since about December. I rarely ever keep phones long and ive been wanting something else for a while but Sprint hasnt put out anything I want. Even after the engadget leak of the Nexus S and the Evo 3D today im not really interested in either. I'm probably going to go ahead and get the Thunderbolt and then the Bionic. I've pretty much decided to leave Sprint especialy with all these data issues.

I would also. I just want to see a samsuck phone get an update without issue (every wp7 phone is pushed because of this) :(.

You already can flash AOSP roms. You just arent looking.

Only tegra and vr blah blah right now can do it. However HTC and Qualcomm have a love affair.
I'll be happy with atrix specs and an amoled screen. And a nicer cam. With ARM9 power management.

Cooler than your EVO

The same goes for technology. There is a ramp of newness and then it plateaus but eventually it goes flatline and then the technology becomes very cheap.
The modem went from coupler to 1200 to 9600 and eventually to 56K where it sits today. Broadband access was still 5 years away. Laptops, once dual core have changed little over the last 5 years. The price has nose-dived.
Smartpphones may be nearing that stage of evolution where all the BIG enhancements are there and now it is a matter of refinement. Better camera, more rugged, a few more bells & whistles but we may be looking at the best phone to come for some time.

They may end up using a custom component for the 3d displaying oreo...

But considering Atrix is already out and end of the year will have Quad core tegra phones...it has to be at least something competitive for the time :/



Considering the specs..to get a good experience for what current Android is probably places:

800mhz on processor
Adreno 205

aka a 2nd gen processor is what I would put as a decent experience on Android for WVGA resolution.

Now if resolution goes up to 720p for example..it would definitely require more processing..not to mention multiple cores are definitely needed to make multitasking smoother..or aka background processors..Then there is the new GPU tech that allows you to run Adobe Flash and other stuff 100% on the GPU and hardware acceleration.

Of course we expect Android to improve and take a bigger step..similar to how Windows 7 is much more hardware intensive then say XP...

Aka Hardware has definitely not reached its limit just yet..but we are getting there..

I'm personally waiting on a quad core by end of the year :P..so far my phone is doing everything I want it to do so I'm happy..

As for the Evo 3D, how do you know its not interesting? have you seen specs anywhere?

except HSPA+ is compatible with GSM, LTE is also compatible with GSM..CDMA and LTE is not..this make it more of an issue for things like battery and require extra radio and gets weird when it swaps from 3g->4g...

Either way I dont like ATT either but Atrix is some nice hardware for this time frame...

And honeycomb can use those cores when ported..either way even single core it will run circles around the Thunderbolt..

Run circles around? Please.. running circles around is the difference between the thunderbolt benchmark and the evo benchmark. There isnt much of a difference between the Thunderbolt and the Atrix considering one has a single core and another has dual core. And again, the Atrix is on AT&T's network so there's no WAY that's even an option. Their HSPA has been tested at a whopping 2 megs down where as Verizon's LTE has hit bursts of 30 megs down.

All that other mess I couldnt care less about. The Atrix could have a 6 core processor with a 5 inch screen and just because it's on AT&T I still wouldnt buy it so I dont even consider their phones.

Sprint: Introducing the Evo 3d..its an Evo with 3 screens!!!

Us: *Facepalm*

lol

But I don't see why sprint is being so secretive about it :/

There is a huge difference with the processors. I am a bit of a HTC fanboy, but I must say that the Atrix hardware is superior. It uses dual core ARM cortex-a9 chip architecture which is the latest. The chip is also 40nm. The gfx chip is ultra low voltage and is labeled as an 8-core. What does this mean? More efficient processing power with way lower power consumption.

The new snapdragon is still based off of the old snapdragon but made with 45nm, not 65nm like the EVO. Additionally, gfx got bumped up from the shitty adreno 200 to adreno 205 which is leaps and bounds better but a little behind as far as the competition. Even the "new" dual core snapdragons (announced last year) are based on this older framework.

Another thing besides having a better screen and better camera, it can also connect to international only CDMA networks.

So no, there is a HUGE difference.

All the other new phones that are coming out, i.e. LG and Motorola beside the dual core processor and one of the LG phone having Dual 5 mp camera (which is neat) that I'd like to see in action, there's is nothing out there that can fully utilize what's under the hood of those devices (Dual Core). Granted they have a little more Horsepower under the hood so when an update like Gingerbread 3.5 come out it's strong enough to support it...Now you revealed to HTC what your capable of and now create the EVO Matrix (Neo Edition) with four 10 mp camera and 3x core processor and the phone bends in 3D right before your eyes! My point is that, while there are new phone (stronger) coming out, there are currently no software out that the Evo can't handle! HTC is smart to wait in my opinion!
