What features do you want on the Evo 2?

[EarlyMon]

But what if the next generation EVO disappoints and doesn't live up to the same standards that the current EVO ended up fulfilling?

A series of symbols using my alphabet - each packet alone seems to spell a word in English - but strung together, it's all gargled up - can't make heads or tails of it....


lol - j/k !

SOLD! That's all I needed to make my decision. Better be out by May 11th so I can buy it on my trip.

I would like to see a higher quality rear camera as 3D doesn't do much for me. I also hope that I can turn 3D off as that would probably get annoying. This thing will be SMOKING fast.

Goodbye Verizon! Hello Sprint!

Even though its a lower pixel count it may take better photos depending on the lens and software used.

i sure hope the new evo dont have this feature of the thunderbolt!

no custom ROMs for a while!

hope they can hack around locked bootloader and recovery!!!

looks like verizon.. is pushing htc to do the same thing as moto. hope sprint does not push for this on the EVO 3D

 

[EarlyMon]

They thought the latest Evo bootloader was uncrackable, too.

Wrong.

damn that was fast... why do they even bother..

It makes you wonder why they have it? I mean you would think instead of this they would figure a way to 100% know if someone rooted a phone and if the person tries to bring it in for warranties, do a quick check and automatically deny the coverage.

So what time does the CTIA event begin on eastern time?

 

[EarlyMon]

9 am on the 22nd is the keynote - and it's in Florida, so I'd bet that EDT.

Events by Day & Time

I'm freakin PUMPED for Sprint's presentation on Tuesday!

 

[BlueScreen]

Well it's hard to believe that it's almost another year but here we are. Seems like yesterday I was working the wee hours of the night to put the fit and finishing touches on the wimax radio/making sure qik would play nice with wimax. Then the gold copying of 4G enabled hotspot during the eleventh hour before sending off to Sprint (Good Times). I felt it was time to chime in again and answer some of the pressing questions about EVO 3d. I would like to first congratulate everyone that has been so critical to EVO

 

[L8AGIN]

Bluescreen, can you advise what the memory specs are? It's been reported as 4gb of RAM and 1gb ROM. Thanks for all the info and your hard work.

 

[EarlyMon]

Many thanks for the updated info.

Is the charging port moving to the side, ala Thunderbolt?

That make charging while on horizontal kickstand kind of tough.

 

[BlueScreen]

@EarlyMon The form factor is almost identical to that of the original EVO accept for few features. The screen is mainly just touch screen. There is no room for the HTC emblem or Sprint at the top of the device, but there is still the EVOish metal grill. EVO 3D feels heavier and that could be attributed to battery. The data ports and jacks are still located at the top and bottom. The EVO 3D is more at home in landscape mode with the kickstand out. I can't go into dimensions, but it's an improvement.

@L8AGIN BGR was close but not quite. There is a twist on how things work inside and hence the lack luster/accidental posting of GLbenchmarks. It is std affair 1gig RAM and 4gig ROM, with cavet. Depending on the needs of the 2nd processor and software applications 4gig ROM will act like RAM. This takes a bit of hardware/software trickery, but it is working. Clock speeds can't discuss, but this too has proven to be OC friendly. I guess you could look at as tri-channel memory like a higher end tri channel memory configuration in a WinVista/Intel 1366DDRAM setup. 1gig RAM will stay Dual Channel, Until the need for Tri-Channel then ROM becomes RAM. So while they will be classified as 4gigs of ROM, Physically speaking there really RAM Silicon. This is a first in the industry, but saves alot on real estate this way. Hope that helps to clear that up. Good luck to a blogsite trying to describe it. It's new hear, but really cool, and pretty sensible.

I just want to reiterate that things are starting to pick up around here and while not fever pitch. While this is good thing for us in the real word cause greater minds are going to start coming together (Colliding) with a purpose and a deadline. Once again, thanks to all who has participated in HTC EVO 4G threads here on Android Forums. I mentioned before, this is where we come to listen and please keep up with requests. I seen allot get done on the eleventh hour with the original EVO, mainly qik, hotspot for 8 devices, seemless transistions between 3G/4G areas (I know, I know). That was/is cutting edge stuff for almost a year ago. This EVO will be another one we'll get put together for the fans in EVOutee land. I have to show the boss my posts and make sure I am being PC. I got into some serious you know what last time we did this

Thanks for popping your head in to give us inside info, BlueScreen. I'm surprised they didn't increase internal memory. That has become a huge issue for me because any app that can't be moved to sd, I have to make sure it doesn't take up too much memory. For non-rooted customers, which is majority of the general consumers, it sucks gettin "out of memory" errors.

 

[EarlyMon]

^???

His post indicates a significant increase in both ram and rom.

Yeah, but I'm anticipating sprint loading the phone up with a ton of bloatware, including apps that take advantage of 3d capabilities, but nobody will ever use...lol

first.. thanks !!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!

2nd.. you did not confirm the new screen size... and the size of phone has not changed much, but there is no room for logos... bigger than 4.3"????? hhhmm.....

3rd... since you asked for a wish list... other phones have huge internal memory: 8 and 16GB... can we have 16?

4th.. if OC is anything like the EVO shift.... it can double its speed!! WOW!

5th... since you are in the know of the original evo.. and I have to wait till December for my upgrade... what say you about the 2.3 GB for the original evo????


again.. thanks!!!!
