convo with sprint rep:
Agent (Denita S.): "I understand. I apologize however at this time we do not have a release date for when the Sprint evo 4g will be released. Also we do not have the cost associated with this. You will receive an update on your sprint.com account when this can be added."

Agent (Denita S.): "Thank you. Just wanted to clarify because the 4g connection card plans are currently available. This device is not available at this time. Tentatively the device is scheduled to be released around June or July, Summer 2010. At this time we do not have a cost for the device"

Agent (Denita S.): "It will be compatible with the Everything data plans, and the Simply Everything plans."

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
hey didn't sprint promise that they would launch a 4g phone in the first of the year or something like that. so do any one think that just maybe will have this in our hands by June

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
Is this close enough to the HD2 that we'll have WM/Android dual boot capability?

MikeElGiga23 03-23-2010 05:23 PM

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
^^ dont think so, not enough interest from Android devs to actually want to run winmo on it, plus WinMo is licensed so there is a chance of legal action if it happens unlike Google that dont give a crap cuz its open source

oh and BTW, VZ HTC Incredible.... you just got your a$$ handed to ya

Knowing sprint they are waiting till after the new iphone comes out and everyone renews their contracts to release this and fail epically..but yeh it was 2010Q1 before.

Why on earth would you want to put wm on this? lol.. come on.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
if it has FM Radio (rumors say it does) im down, if it can dualboot, ill definitely do it, the cost is key... its between this and the HD2... only time will tell

This would be my dream come true, while I disagree with Mike's point about a lack of interest, he is definitely right about the licensing issue.

I'm loving this phone but want to know if it will work internationally like the BB9630 or the Touch Pro 2. If it is it's mine.

*speechless*

but how much will it be? With no upgrades...?

Krazy4Real 03-23-2010 06:08 PM

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
Supposedly the pricing is going to be $449 minus the $150 new number/2 year upgrade minus $100 mail in rebate = $199.

Unfortunately for You, It doesn't have an IMEI. Meaning, Not a world phone.

Is that $449 no contract price? Is that just rumor at this point?

this i am having a hard time believing. i can't imagine this going for less than the tp2. would be kinda funny though...

Yes, just a rumor, but from a good source.

The tp2 has windows mobile which has a licensing fee to MS. All android phones are less expensive than comparable windows mobile phones.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
oh touché, very true.

but if the pricing is less than a tp2, fees or not, i wouldn't imagine anyone saying "ohh that evo is nice, but that tp2 just has me, i'll fork over the extra $100 for it." if it is priced below the tp2, it would just totally kill sales for it. ofcourse by the time this phone is released i'm sure the tp2's pricing will have a good drop in price.

Touch pro 2 has a keyboard though, this phone does not. Some people only want phones with keyboards.

Regardless, I see your point and trust me... I'm getting the EVO as soon as I possibly can.

Re: Sprint HTC Evo 4G
 
well if that is the case, kiss another 200 goodbye lol, i plan on getting this one the day it is released.

i will miss my sero :(
