Root Time for a new phone??

MAKOKILLER · Feb 10, 2012

Well I think it is time to get another phone. I really like the evo but it I am just getting tired of it. It is fun to change roms and things like that, but just looking for something else. Does anyone know of another good htc phone that can be rooted? How is the evo 3d? any different?

I would wait if I were you. LTE phones and quad core goodness are just around the bend.

yep i agree with rxpert. i would like to see what the galaxy nexus has to offer for us sprint users. not to mention what lte will be like for us. i have a evo 3d and i love the phone so if you can't wait then i would give it a try. it is really fast and battery life on a rooted phone is pretty amazing for me at least (YRMV). the smaller screen and lack of a kickstand is my only beef with it. but you get used to that. plus it is dual core and blazing fast.

1000% waiting for lte. I'm going to because kc is on the lte launch list. Woohoo!

As with the others, I'm also waiting for LTE, and specifically the Galaxy Nexus

MAKOKILLER · Feb 11, 2012

when is the lte supposed to be coming out?

Rxpert83 · Feb 11, 2012

Well sprint isnt going to be releasing any more CDMA phones, it will be all LTE from here on out.

Estimates range from spring to summer

MizzouBrent · Feb 11, 2012

What is the next big HTC phone? I'm not 100% sold on the galaxy nexus

Rxpert83 · Feb 11, 2012

The HTC edge is supposed to be their first quad core phone. They've changed the name of it a few times though so its not called that anymore.

MizzouBrent · Feb 11, 2012

Do they have a code name for it aka supersonic for the evo. Quad core sounds delicious. Throw in some lte and I'm on board. Surely the top tier devs will be all over that one.

What is the difference between CDMA and LTE phones?

The different networks they can access. Sprint currently has CDMA, and Verizon, ATT ect use the better LTE network.

The EDGE was the codename for it. Now its the Endeavor. The device has not been officially announced yet.

Mobile world congress happens in 2 weeks. We will know by then

MizzouBrent · Feb 11, 2012

I think you mean that WIMAX will not be used any more in favor of LTE. It's the 4G network. CDMA won't change. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM.

Quad Core LTE oh my

MAKOKILLER · Feb 12, 2012

Hopefully HTC will put out a another nice phone. Cant see going back to Samsung crap.

I'm also leery of Samsung phones. I've heard the nexus phones are pretty good though. Would have to be to keep Google using them for the nexus.

I'm waiting for the next big htc phone for Sprint, if the old Hero dies before then, I'll be getting the 3D.

The Hero??

dustwun77 · Feb 12, 2012

well, I have had 2 samsung phones and have gotten good service from them.

jericko · Feb 12, 2012

I have been eligible for a upgrade since last Oct, but if I am going to lock in for 2 more years, it has to be a Quad Core phone with LTE.
