Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

sorry had a double post. This site is slow on my computer tonight

I read on some other forums that the screen is made out of plastic rather then glass. I hope its false cuz such a big screen has room for lots of scratches. The information came from a so called advocate. I assumed that it would have had the same glass screen as the HD2. Does anyone have any insight? Its not totaly a deal breaker, but a shame nonetheless.

YouTube - Sprint - Hot Spot Borrowers

I hope the EVO spots and ads follow this type of line. This is funny.

hopalee · May 18, 2010

That's funny, but hopefully the EVO commercials will be way less dorky

A while back I think somebody posted a site that listed EVERY possible corporate discount - can anybody provide a link to that? I'm trying like hell to save money on my bill...

I just ordered my EVO from a RS yesterday. I was the third one to sign up. I went in expecting to be 20-30th on the list. Sprint needs to pick it up.

The RS lady said they would give me a call a week prior to my pick up date. I laughed and told her that wouldn't be necesary since there would be no way I would forget this thing.

That is quite simply not true.

Please guide me to a Sandisk micro sd card that's either class 4 or class 6 or higher. I surely haven't been able to find a single one on the internet that wasn't class 2.

I was 14th when I signed up the day after the big NYC party (at Best Buy). Guess it all depends on your area.

I agree.. my best buy has a boatload of pre orders

iamthelivinglight · May 18, 2010

hey all, new here, its been fun lurking in the shadows, just wanted to share, called my local bb where i was first to pure order the 13th, talked to a guy who has always seemed more with it then his cohorts anyways he said that they have a huge pile of pre orders and today his "big wig guy" said that only units to be sold on june 4th will be pre orders so no need for appointments and that due to the huge amount of pre orders there is some rumblings higher up discussing stooping pre orders

This is silly but I have the Touch Pro 2 and I don't use the regular big grey clock I got some cab file of a clear dee through clock that I like better so I can see more of my background. Will stuff like that be available for this phone? I am not into changing roms and stuff I always lef tthe stock rom on there but I added cab files to make bubbles a different color and font different and where it said Sprint at the top I put my name there. I had an all backgrounds tab so like my calendar wasn't black it was the same as my home wallpaper.

I just am unsure how Android will work. I just want to put regular apps on there cause I am sure something I put on my TP2 is what made it lag and made me had to hard reset it a few times. Right now with this cookies mod it's called I hit the msg button and it's slow. But anyway I don't care about the flipiing of the clock but it is neat and I am used to it. I would like it but what I do want to know is about the weather animation. Is it like my TP2 like when its raining will you see the widnshiled wiper? I just think that is so cute. LOL! I know I'm gonna like this so much better then my TP2. I have lots to learn I'm sure. And I am glad I found all these forums.

It's not weird really.

The first thing is a Windows Mobile only thing. My Sprint Hero and other 2.1 ROMs I've seen with Sense do not animate the clock. Weather, yes. Clock, no.

The second thing is really an Android thing, from what I've seen. My Hero has always only animated if I turn the phone one way and not the other. 1.5 and 2.1 both.

sprint.com goes down EVERY night, prob for them to do database updates or something, but anytime i check it after 1am its hit or miss.

To make most changes you must root, you don't have to flash a new rom but u must root the device

Awesome! Do you know if there is a way to get a landscape homescreen, a la the Nexus One?

I believe with Sense enabled it can't. Not sure since Sense seems so easy to turn off though.

This might not be the exact link, but it has a large list at the the beginning of the thread and then 16 pages worth of posts, some of them being quite useful.

bpcooper14 · May 18, 2010

I was just looking through some websites and saw that the LG Ally is now up for pre-order on VZW. Does anyone else think that Sprint might be missing the boat by not allowing pre-orders through them directly? I would think that the more people they could get locked in to an Evo, the better. Provide as many avenues as possible to the consumer to maximize your product placement.

Thanks for the link

I would suggest to anyone that does check this out, do not follow the advice of those in that thread. They are actively adivising people to commit fraud. I understand the lure of 25% off, but is that really enough incentive to compromise your ethics?

Just call a sprint rep they will tell you if you are eligible for any. When I upgraded my wife's phone to the moment last week, I had to call so I asked if she got one with her company, she did and the rep added it on w/out needing any kind of validation that she did work there.

I agree.. I think they lose alot of sales by not allowing pre-orders through their website..

Greets all..Has anyone herd what is going to be included in the boxing of EVO. I was wondering if Sprint is going to include HDMI cable vs USB for charging. I have herd rumors that charging on the EVO is going to be via HDMI port and not USB? I thought this might have some relevance since both work similar to each other.

BSOD>-_O<

0:24. Does this look too big to be USB?
