Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

[UniqueNate]

Either way, EVO will be my next phone. Just wanted to throw it out there for peeps that were still on the fence.

Oh most definitely!

 

[twospirits]

Yeah, that's a good comparison tool.

Interesting, although I've seen and used that comparison tool before, its only today that I noticed I can move the EVO over any of the other phones I am comparing it to over it to see the height and width difference. Pretty cool.

It was confirmed a while ago that it will sell in black and white.

To be honest I don't remember that being confirmed, only remember wishing it was true.

I believe Jackson said Dan confirmed it.

I believe Jackson said Dan confirmed it.

I think that is true, but it would be released in black first and then as a option in white later. If my memory serves me right.

If both colors don't come at the same time would you or anybody hold out for the second option?

Really, that bums me out, cause I wanted the white one. So that means I have to wait longer.

Oh well. So it the life of a dEVOtee.

Maybe not, TS. Maybe the white one will come out within 30 days from your doing the upgrade? If that's the case, you can just do an exchange! I know I'd do it, if that happened. Let's just hope that the white one doesn't take long until it's released.

24 hour bannage for ozcar posting IMO

 

[mrk]

I'm getting the black regardless. Black never goes out of style.

 

[UniqueNate]

Yea or when more info is out or release day, we can go to a sprint store and ask when the white one is released (if not released together). I don't see the point of having two diff colors apart from each other. I'm used to black when it comes to phones but I want to see what a white EVO would look like in person. If it's soft touch it might be pretty sweet. That kind of glossy look the EVO has on the front wouldn't look so good in white. It would look plastic (cheap). Ugh! I just can imagine the live wallpapers and colors collaborating with that white body! Would be real nice. Attention getter huh?

And true MRK, black never goes out of style. I just want do soemthing a little different.

I couldn't agree more. I'm all for the fluff, but don't bring false hope here! For those of you that are worried about the size, I would strongly suggest stomaching the trip to a T-mobile store and holding a HD2 in your hand. This nice thing is the UI on the HD2 is Android'esk enough to give you a decent taste of what we're all waiting for.

Besides.... I emailed DH, I should be getting an answer soon In all seriousness, I wish we would get a nibble though...

 

[Supersonical]

There will be two versions, or so i ahve been told. At first tehre will ONLY be the black. In months to follow to kind of re-invent the Evo the white version will come out. Prob around christmas and such

Slug man, i know your a moderator and all but TS does just fine around here doing his job. We have all been doing fine here as well. Have you seen that incredible thread. Yeah we are a family over here, there they are a huge mob. So please let us do our thing.

THanks

Well, there goes my theory about exchanging within 30 days...LOL. Thanks for the 411, Jackson.

That really sucks.......So maybe I "regift" my black one to my wife for Christmas!

 

[UniqueNate]

Aww man now I guess I will have to go with the black. I think when it comes out I might be able to go int he store and mess with it when the hype dies down some and hopefully that holds me off until the white one. I had a feeling somebody was going to say the second option was going to be something like a re-event or something.

Jackson quick question? If and when the EVO gets updates will that also be a entry to the white one other then it's new color? Or will it just be white and that's the only difference?

 

[SprintFun]

Also, the funniest thing about the most recent Ozcar steaming pile of bull, they claim the pre-order date is leaked but they never say what the date is. Honestly, I can't think of a worse website lol. Its comical how terrible it is.

And finally:

OZCAR hope to hear from Sprint soon on the HTC Evo 4G release date and pricing.

I'm sure Dan Hesse will meet you at your public library so you can do a live blog about it.

in response to #2: HTC EVO 4G Size Compare (Phone Arena)

Or, make a paper one. Seriously. If you go back 100 or so pages, you'll see my paper Evo. It was a good way for me to get an idea of the size in three dimensions and compare to my Hero. I live in an area where there is no T-mo coverage, so no stores to check an HD2.

 

[cary328is]

With what I've seen in the videos, aren't the differences between the black/white units simply just the back cover? I could be wrong but the "white" one doesnt have a matching white front, so why call is it the "white EVO" if it's just the back plate that makes it white? Can someone please confirm if there is any other part of the phone that makes it white other than the back plate?

 

[S1dewinder]

I am not sure if you guys use Twitter and if you do, who you follow, but HTCSource just posted the following tweet:


Got an invite to sprint's htc evo 4g party in nyc. Ticket booked and ready to go! Now just have to wait two .

HTC Source (HTCSource) on Twitter

So, if you're using Twitter, this might be a good add!

 

[travisr528]

If both colors don't come at the same time would you or anybody hold out for the second option?

I am going with black, a white phone just seems weird to me..

I seriously did email the DH..... I'm willing to bet I get a response before Ozcar

Oh well. So it the life of a dEVOtee.

TS out

You can spray paint it!

 

[vvplatinum]

So is the general consensus that:

Evo will be released in June (either 8th or 15ish)
Evo will be available for pre order in May (hopefully in a couple weeks)
Evo will most likely cost $199.99 with a 2 Year Sprint Contract
Evo will have 4g for $10-$20 dollars a month
