New smartphones for the Sprint network in 2011

[her209]

Is there a list? My contract is expiring in 2 months and I have the option to renew my contract now but I don't to miss out on a nice phone by renewing too early.

Currently using a Palm Pre with Preware installed. Would like the ability to force roaming since signal strength sucks where I am.

So far the only one that we know is coming out is the HTC Evo Shift 4G.

If the signal sucks for Sprint, why stay with them when your contract expires? All carriers equally as bad?

Price. 109.99 for two lines. 14.99 for each additional line. 1600 shared minutes. Unlimited data/text/GPS/roaming. etc. I will be adding 2 more people so price per person comes down to 35 per month.

Sprint's horrible about using controlled leaks to their adavantage. Pretty much nothing is known other than the before mentioned shift. Of course a successor to the EVO and most likely Epic will be coming. A slider W7 from HTC should be here very soon. Other W7 would be expecting but what is the question. Anything from Palm? Even Sprint probably doesn't know the answer to that one yet.

I'd hold out for a 2nd gen EVO, as mentioned, Sprint doesn't play the hype game well.

I'm pretty happy with Sprint thus far, we shall see when I'm due for a new phone....

I went to the Sprint store yesterday and the rep was showing me the HTC Evo and Samsung Epic 4G. He also mentioned a phone that would come with dual-core Snapdragon processor and 1GB RAM. Said the name was Optimus made by HTC but I searched for it and only the LG Optimus is being found. Was he misinformed?

Yeah, "Optimus" is LG only. Also, it's Tegra2, not Snapdragon.

So far only the lg optimus and motorola olympus are dual core, maybe he was thinking of the htc thunderbolt but it hasn't been confirmed that its dual core.
I wouldn't bother with any phone that isn't dual core for 2011.
