sorry. i'm excited.

okay now that i'm looking over it again i'm not sure if it's real... for one, the evo pictured has a red grill which is not supposed to be in the final version. i guess we'll see if any other sites are reporting the same invite.

Still, it would make sense to be a month before the rumored release date.

I only wonder what the deal was with the month extension on their facebook, I think they just like toying with our emotions.

Haha, it's really silly, why would they pair up with Disney to show off the EVO and Prince Of Persia early? Seems very fishy.

Unless Dan Hesse thinks Jake Gyllenhaal's ripping biceps will draw attention from the Iphone and the EVO.

I can see Dan now: "Just like the blockbuster hit of the Summer, Prince Of Persia, our competitors will surely wish they could use the sands of time to rewind time, as our HTC EVO will demolish the competition."

This isn't entirely related, but it falls in line with something Secret Praise mentioned before about the Motorola phones.

I wonder if either of those could the phone rumored to be coming to Sprint. Either way, they both look very unimpressive just from first impressions though.

 

[bendispo]

If you remember from CTIA, Sprint was showing off the EVO's 720p HDMl ability by streaming a trailer for Prince of Persia out to a large HD flatscreen. Perhaps this cooperation between Disney & Sprint has been planned all along? I wonder also if there might be some kind of media bundling, like T-Mobile has done with the HD2 and Transformers.

I was just thinking that The Sprint facebook page might have something to do with the android update to the moment and hero. rumored to be the 16th and now is may 12th. I hope that is not it because I am hungry for the EVO. Or a double event would be nice.

Or a double android update event, the EVO to 2.5, and the others to 2.1.

Would it be wrong if I took this and speculated that Radio Shack is gearing up for the Evo?? Radio Shack nixing sales of Sprint's Pre and Pixi, but what does it mean? -- Engadget

 

[KRD]

I hope it is for room for the EVO.

 

[mogulust]

Every person that received an invitation to that EVO 4g event should be very afraid. I can only speak for myself, but I would bet that many people here are freaking crazy enough about this device that they would beat up and rob someone we knew was holding a "golden ticket" that could get us into the same room with Hesse and a have a chance to play with the EVO before it's released. I don't care at all about prince of persia, I would just ignore the screening and play with the phone for the whole two hours, or sit next to Hesse asking every question I could think of and offering my advise for how sprint should be run while he's trying to focus on jake gyllenhall. For me, that invitation is the equivalent of what a huge crack rock is to Tyrone Biggums.

Um,

showcase the multimedia capabilities of HTC EVO™ 4G, the world’s first Android phone.

That's gotta be the biggest typo I ever saw! haha

It means that palm is slowing down the pre and pixi. It has called for a selling agent to look for a buyer.

Palm is on its death bed, and not long for this world.

Let hope that htc get to them before apple.

 

[BlueScreen]

he has an evo!?! someone tell that guy to make a review vid, now!

Is anyone else having difficulty in getting vid to play ??

Maybe it is just because it is really late, but I keep picturing Tyrone sitting next to Dan Hesse in a movie theatre asking him all kinds of silly questions and calling him Joe Rogan.
"Hey Joe Rogan, I got this invitation, is this the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway? I'm trying to get some crack rocks."
"Hey Joe Rogan, how does wifi work?"
And then he would slowly, secretly steal Dan's Evo 4G and sell it for crack.
The end.

I have a little bit of a concern that i have not heard brought up about the EVO. Currently this phone is able to do 4G/WiMAX however, what happens if sprint decides to use LTE instead since they said that they will do it for the greater good if the market goes in that direction. Will they stop the deployments of 4G in the new areas? Sorry if i sound dumb here but it crossed my mind. Is the radio able to be updated in the EVO to support LTE if this is truly the future? The EVO wont do us any good if they go full LTE and it doesn't support it.

You bring up a valid point, even though not likely Sprint would move in that direction of LTE. Point in fact is the discussion currently going on with Clear WiMax and Sprint. Sprint has filed to purchase Clear WiMax aka (Take over) AT&T has filed a injuction to stop the deal going through (of course!) under the pretense Sprint would then have a monopoly on 4G Technology. <Raise a toast to Sprint and them having a 4G Monopoly>
I mean Sprint did the right thing by spending their R&D moolah and providing a better product (4G) to their consumers, while AT&T just made there executives wallets fat! Sprint=FTW, AT&T=PWND

 

[MyHTCevo]

Sorry if this has already been shared.

Since we're all wondering what kind of internal storage space we'll see on the Evo, it is confirmed that the HTC Incredible will have 8GB of internal storage and WILL NOT ship with a micro sd card.

Curious if this will change anything from an Evo standpoint.

 

[Chad.Mobley11]

So Chad.......WHEN is it going on pre-sale?

I wish I knew. I would assume we will know pretty soon tho.
