Will you still buy this phone on release day if your not in 4G area?

[echoota]

Absolutely, 4G is just a cool possibility later.

 

[cooper1010]

I live in an area that only has 1X and I'll be first in line to get one.

ouch.

day one buy for me, and i don't expect to have 4g here for a year, tops. i won't even have the evo anymore by then (evo2?).

 

[neodorian]

I do have it but yes, I would have purchased it anyway. Once the Nexus One came out I pretty much planned on getting whatever Sprint's Snapdragon-based HTC Android phone ended up being. Luckily for me it also happened to be the rumored Wimax phone as well so I'm doubly ready for it. On 3G this will be a best-in-class HTC Android phone (at least for a little while) but with Wimax it will just be that much faster and more useful.

Me. It's not a need but rather a preference. When I type long messages I just prefer physical keyboards. I can type fine with a virtual keyboard so I'm not sweating it that much. I just like the feeling of the keys.

if i typed long messages, i'd prefer the speech to text feature....

 

[legacy]

Yep. We're due to get 4G by the end of the year, but even if we weren't getting it, I'd still be getting the Evo.

I'm getting this phone regardless if I'm in a 4g area or not. This is the EVO we are talking about!!! If this thing was on 2g it would still be better than all the phones out right now lolll.

 

[SB22]

Absolutely getting this phone regardless if it's on 3G or 4G in my area. I don't even have cell phone service at my house and I plan on getting it with the Sprint Airave.

I've been drooling over the thoughts of the EVO 4G since it was announced and hope to get it before my girlfriend get's so fed up with me talking about it that she leaves

I'm in NJ and likely to be outside NYC and Phila coverage. It wouldn't matter to me though - I need to move away from ATT b/c I'm over the dropped calls and low signal. Evo should stand on it's own as a 3G phone for my daily use. However it's going to be awesome when I go to NYC or Phila (Vegas and other East Coast cities on the list) and can use the 4G. Actually, 4G will be more useful when I travel than when I'm home because at home I can always use my Wi-Fi or 3G connections.

 

[aurialus]

No 4g here, but absolutely getting the Evo ASAP.

 

[djdisturbed]

even though where i live there is no 4g, i can go 100feet down the street and pick up 4g, so yeah im getting one (yeah the coverage map shows 4g all around where i live EXCEPT my apt, there is a dead spot right where my apt sits!!! good thing i have wifi at the house)

 

[Geo]

Sure I would. It is not Only the 4G that make this phone a great phone.

 

[TheBlackPrince]

Definitely without a doubt I will buy this phone regardless of the 4G status in this area. Hell even if i could only get 2G I'd probably still buy this phone.

 

[mrk]

I would definitely be buying this phone as soon as humanly possible if Austin didn't have 4G. Luckily, my entire university and my entire apartment complex, as well as all of the distance in between, are all covered by 4G. Whereas just the Evo would make be incredibly happy, the addition of persistent 4G makes me want to giggle like a schoolgirl.

 

[effluent]

Don't really understand the thinking behind these questions. If you need a phone, your options are the Evo or some other phone. No other phones will be WiMax so why buy any phone at all if 4G is all you care about? The answer is that obviously 4G isn't all anyone cares about since it's new.

 

[mrk]

This will be my only off-topic post.

haha you will always be a school girl in my eyes as long as you attend school in austin.... tisk tisk

BOOMER SOONER!

Glad to see that you've been getting your ass beaten by a team of padded women, then .

 

[momoceio]

Yes, getting it with our without 4g

 

[LatinP]

Why would anyone not? I'ts perfectly capable of 3g and sports a 4.3" screen.
(I could go on with more features but you get the point.)

 

[neodorian]

If it was between a "better" 3G phone and a "lesser" phone with 4G it would be tough to decide since we have 4G here. Since this will be Sprint's best phone (at least for a few months) and have 4G as well, it's a win-win. Easy choice if Sprint is your carrier of choice. If your choice of carrier is under debate then you may not have as simple a decision.

 

[samplerate]

Absoluteily! this phone has so many features there is no reason not to buy it, and even though i am in a 3G market right now, if i get the EVO i will be ready for 4G when it comes out instead of having to buy a new phone when that comes around...

that and I REALLY need to get rid of my mogul....

 

[ekt8750]

Even if I lived in Centralia, PA (a real life ghost town) I'd still get an EVO. It'd prolly wouldn't do much as far as actually working cause it's in the middle of no where (literally) but I'd still get it.

I feel their pain my wife's family is from New Tripoli, PA. WiMax? HA! My in-laws are still on dial-up! They're so deep in the woods the cable companies don't want to wire lines in that far.

If you live there you may want to save the money for gasmasks or fire extinguishers

 

[Wolfedude88]

I will not be getting this because I am with Verizon and have the Incredible, but if I could I would get this either if it was for 3g. I don't know why anyone wouldn't wont a phone like this? I know some think it is too big, but I would just have to live with it. I love my phone, and I feel this one has a few extra things that I don't necessary need, but wouldn't be opposed to getting one.

I have already convinced my brother-in-law to get one, now I will have the best of both worlds. I will get to play with this for free.

 

[pcsperson]

Sure will
