2011 Sprint Lineup?

[aceofspades626]

What I really want is an LG Optimus S+

3.7" 800 x 480 LCD screen
800 mhz processor
5 MP camera with LED Flash

Not the move to make for anyone that ever wants to run Gingerbread.
Minimum requirements state 1ghz processor.

I want the nexus s. I. know it OS wishful thinking to think sprint would get it, but it looks awesome. I have an upgrade January 1st and I am hoping something good is out by then. I like the HTC incredible size and speed, just don't know about adding a keyboard to it for the evo shift 4g. I am still going strong with my hero, but really need a better screen and processor.

good point, but they also said not to run 2.2 on tablets.

I did see a picture and read about Samsungs new "flagship" phone comming out in late January and or February. I do not remember the site naturally. It was as thin as an iphone, AMOLED screen, 8MP camera, 1.5GHZ processor. It looks like it will blow the Epic away. Not sure what carrier it will be for though. More than likely they will have it for all, just with a name change and a few body design tweeks.

Not much info out on it that I can find. Looks sweet though...

Sprint needs to get a Moto Defy or Moto Bravo like phone. Real affordable and lots of bang for the buck. I mean, 99 Bucks for a 3.7 inch WVGA screen running on a powerful 800mhz processer which can run live wall papers as well as play 3d games? Every carrier needs something like this... This is a true middle end device, way better than the low end ones and not up to the level of the high end ones.

You lost me. What does 2.2 on a tablet have to do with Gingerbread on a <1ghz phone?

HTC EVO Shift Going Through FCC? | GottaBeMobile

I was just reading this article about the Shift.
Waiting for the dual cores to roll out was the only thing making me question buying this phone.
If it really does roll with a dual core, there will be no question any more!

With today's battery technology, I am not sure I would be so excited about dual cores, unless they somehow make them super-efficient.

Can't find the article right at the moment. But word is that the Tegra2 dual core processors are actually using significantly less power than the current generation.

Will post back when I find the article.

My mistake. Snapdragon dual cores. Not the Tegra2.

If there's an epic 2 with dual core, it'll be the best phone ever... Again

I keep seeing this. But everything I've read states that multiple cores are significantly more efficient than single cores. With today's battery technology we should be hoping for dual cores.
