Default Time for a new phone??

Well I think it is time to get another phone. I really like the evo but it I am just getting tired of it. It is fun to change roms and things like that, but just looking for something else. Does anyone know of another good htc phone that can be rooted? How is the evo 3d? any different?

I would wait if I were you. LTE phones and quad core goodness are just around the bend.

yep i agree with rxpert. i would like to see what the galaxy nexus has to offer for us sprint users. not to mention what lte will be like for us. i have a evo 3d and i love the phone so if you can't wait then i would give it a try. it is really fast and battery life on a rooted phone is pretty amazing for me at least (YRMV). the smaller screen and lack of a kickstand is my only beef with it. but you get used to that. plus it is dual core and blazing fast.

Well sprint isnt going to be releasing any more CDMA phones, it will be all LTE from here on out.

Estimates range from spring to summer

The HTC edge is supposed to be their first quad core phone. They've changed the name of it a few times though so its not called that anymore.

Do they have a code name for it aka supersonic for the evo. Quad core sounds delicious. Throw in some lte and I'm on board. Surely the top tier devs will be all over that one.

The different networks they can access. Sprint currently has CDMA, and Verizon, ATT ect use the better LTE network.

The EDGE was the codename for it. Now its the Endeavor. The device has not been officially announced yet.

I think you mean that WIMAX will not be used any more in favor of LTE. It's the 4G network. CDMA won't change. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM.

I'm also leery of Samsung phones. I've heard the nexus phones are pretty good though. Would have to be to keep Google using them for the nexus.

I'm waiting for the next big htc phone for Sprint, if the old Hero dies before then, I'll be getting the 3D.

I have been eligible for a upgrade since last Oct, but if I am going to lock in for 2 more years, it has to be a Quad Core phone with LTE.
