Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

Not open for further replies.
Seriously? It has been 2 weeks. I have a Centro too, and it'll do just fine for a couple months until the Evo comes out. Besides, it's not like there was ever any indication that it would come out before "Summer 2010." If you're that anxious already, it's not Sprint's fault.

yes seriously. i've been waiting for a new superphone since Jan 2009 when the Pre was announced and that need has yet to be fulfilled so that means that i've been waiting for 1 year and 4+ months.

it's Sprint's fault that they don't yet offer a decent superphone.

If you don't live in a 4G area and don't want a 4.3 inch screen than going for the incredible would be a good decision. If you don't live in a 4G area then none of the "amazing" 4G features will work for you anyway so you'll basically have a desire/incredible/n1 with a larger screen until 4G is hooked up in your area. Well that with a nicer camera.
If you're already with Verizon and you live in a rural area, the Incredible would be a good choice. If you want a better phone, with a bigger screen, front facing camera, 720p video, hdmi output, more ram, then you might want to go with the EVO. As far as the 4G part, it's coming faster than you think. Besides that, the EVO will also work on WiFi and in WiFi hotspots. You make the choice.

Well guys, I have some news. Take it as you want to. In that E-mail i showed you all yesterday i showed you along with self praise that there was some doubt for tomorrow. I was talking to Dan today and he said while the media blitz may not actually begin tomorrow, and this is due to Sprint editing the commercials i have been told. Weird no???

However "something" is supposed to happen. I feel like a fortune teller i can tell you a name of someone who will be important in your life but i cant tell you what they will do. I'm sorry about this, i feel awful. If i find out what this "something" is ill post it asap

Thanks,

Jackson


I think I know. It's IRON MAN isn't it?:rolleyes:

my only loyalty right now is with Sprint because i like their pricing/coverage/technology/4G/network/service/systems/website. i would consider an iPhone 4G if it were to show up on Sprint in addition to the EVO 4G. i'm platform/OS agnostic as long as they are GOOD.

however, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile are out of the question.

i need a modern 2010 smartphone. this Centro is a good little phone but i need more POWER.

i'm losing my patience waiting for this thing. i'm angry, tired, and bitter. and i'm starting to sour.

You were always sour, man :D. Waiting for a phone brings the best Gekko out.

The front facing camera probably will be useless until you get 4G, the 720p video recording is what I meant when I said nicer camera, the Incredible has an 8mp for still shots as well. The HDMI out is kinda an iffy thing, you have to buy an expensive cable just to use it and if it records 720p like other phones have then it's not something you'll really care about anyway as most have done a poor job with image quality and stabilization. To me if the video capture is just an HD jumpy mess then I sure wouldn't want to play it back on the tv.

Another thing that worries me about the 720p video recording is they haven't mentioned the frame rate it captures at, I hope it's at least 30 fps because the ones that do 20 fps look like crap.
Sounds to me like you ought to go with the Incredible.

I'm just being objective that's all, I like sprints plans better so I'd like to stay with them but at the same time the phone selection is garbage compared to the other 3 major cell carriers in the US and we are all sitting here waiting for 1 phone to come out that could be more than 2 months away. October was the last time sprint put a phone out worth even taking a look at and here we are 6 months later waiting for something that won't come out until early/mid June at the earliest from the sound of it or it could end up being later. If sprint had a decent selection of phones this waiting would not be so difficult, there could be other options to look at and pick up if you didn't want to wait another 2 months or maybe wanted something smaller than the Evo but larger and faster than the Hero but as it stands now people would be crazy to pick up any of the phones sprint currently offers because they are all under powered and in most cases too small screen wise.

Snapdragon chipsets support 720p at 60fps and 1080p at 30fps. I can't imagine the EVO recording 720p at less than 30, and I seem to remember them saying it records at 30fps in one of the demos.

You can sneak a peak of some nice stuff from watching all the qik videos the inside guys w/ Evos are keeping public.

In these vids you can see a white back does exist. (not feeling it myself with the black front, but I'm sure someone will like it)

These were taken today so I wouldn't be surprised if the phones were final product.


Overland Park, USA | By Bhaskar's Demo Account (broydemo)

United States | By Bhaskar's Demo Account (broydemo)

Those types of videos have been on qik for weeks/months. I think they are doing demos for people - but we can only get our "peeping tom" on when they do the qik portion of the demo.

I posted this in the SU forum a while back....but I really think this is of some marketing meeting. United States | By Trevor Van Norman (trevorvannorman)

what I think I hear in the video said:
People are excited here internally
coverage good
We set up the pre-registration site - first day hits double of the palm pre
first day hits "out of this world"
We have 2-2.5 months to build on this story - palm pre had 6 months
This was 21 days ago.

I think there are a lot of "leaks" on the qik site (intentional or not)...but I bet the real, "juicy" bits cant be found by searching "overland park" (trust me....I've been trying)
