The new phones will not be reflashed and they will be less buggy... my phone crashes at least ten times a day and im waiting to get a vm branded replacement. Phones designed for sprint on vm's network can have problems like mine does. Waiting insures you get a "good Evo v"
If you get one that works, it will be no different.
Mine runs great.
Flash or reflash makes ZERO difference, the only variable was how well it was flashed. The early ones were done by untrained people. Some worked, some didn't. It's the same as flashing a rom.
Designed for Sprint? Come on.
What do you think Virgin is. There is nothing different or magical about Virgin compared to Sprint. In fact, you can flash almost any CDMA phone over and it will work perfectly fine, other than MMS. I did it with an Evo 4g, it ran perfect. I know people with Evo Shifts, Marquee's, and more all on Virgin that run perfect.
Go ahead and keep thinking there will be some magical difference, but you are only fooling yourself. Will there be less issues? Sure because it will be flashed by HTC in a controled environment where they are more likely to have better quality control, but if it works, it works. Doesn't matter who flashes it.
It's comparable to the Triumph: They sucked at first, and while they still aren't great, they're better then when they were released. The same thing happened with the Optimus V. These are the "First Run" or "First batch". I'm sure if you bought one in a month or even in a week or two it would be perfectly fine and you'd have a far less chance of getting a buggy one.
These aren't first batch, there is no batch. The difference is that these were flashed outside of the factory, which is why a few are having trouble.
Seriously, you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. This isn't the Triumph all over again. Not even close.
