Sprint's HTC EVO 4G

[zerocool84]

Hmmm.. doesn't have an AMOLED screen. I thought it did.

No they say a regular TFT.

Here's a chart comparing it to the Nexus One and Droid:

I know what I am upgrading my Hero to this summer.(Thanks goodness for Premier upgrades every 12 months)

I couldn't care less about 4G, I know I am not getting anytime in the next several years.

This thing isn't going to be able to be activated on SERO. Just like the other Android phones, WebOS, and Instincts. The ESN's are hard coded into the system not to activate on anything but ED, EPRP, and third party employee plans(the $20 3000 minute deals). You will not get it or any of the others on SERO. You hace to pay to play.

Bullshit.

In a recent thread JS80 posted a link & sprint email address for SERO. You can buy a samsung moment or htc hero (android), TP2 (winmo), or a palm pre/pixi (webOS) with a $59 Everything Plus™ Data plan.

It isn't the crazy deal that some people are grandfathered in on, but it is still great. It's the same basic deal as with a T-Mobile unsubsidized phone, but you don't have to put up the $500+ for an unlocked phone.

Yea that's not "SERO" if I understand correctly... SERO was discontinued a little while ago and was replaced with the "EPRP".

I'm no expert but this is how I recall it happened.

when people say sero, most of the time they mean it on the $30/$50 old sero plans, and not the newer $60/$80 plans.

I use the employee referral program and we have the family unlimited everything with two phones for 109 a month. This phone looks damn nice but I still want a Win 7 phone

I was quite interested in Win 7 until they revealed it can't multi-task. Pff. Forget that.

Not a big deal for me luckily

I stand corrected. The link JS80 posted is indeed EPRP and not SERO.

So, who thinks this phone be available with EPRP?

 

[ElFenix]

i may be at the sprint store the day these things drop. sprint has already started radio advertising their 4G network here in houston. should be active in the next couple of weeks.

 

[eits]

i'm sold

can't wait to trade up my palm pre for that phone.

im sure it will be...im not sure if there would be an additional cost to use 4G though :/

Same here.

Well, considering that the ENRP discount is just $10 a month and it is being hinted that the 4G service will be the same rate as 3G, I'm sure the EVO will be the same price if it does make it to ENRP.

After I confirm that the HD2 only has a $200 ETF, I'm buying that tonight, waiting until the EVO comes out and jumping to it sometime in the summer 🙂

Same here.

Me three since it sounds like the 4g plans will cost the same as the 3g ones.

Exactly my thought. Was going to get a Nexus when it comes to Sprint but I'll wait for this phone if we aren't going to get killed for the 4g plan or at least can opt to stick with 3g.

N1 users(and probably every other 3G device) on T-Mobile will be able to use T-Mobile's 4G equivalent when it comes out without needing to buy anything new.

T-Mobile-s 3g network isn't all that great now. They are years and years away from 4g.

Have you read anything about their expansion plans? They will have their 4G before AT&T. They are also going to have better coverage overall in the US than AT&T in less than two years.

I'm not a big fan of AT&T either. I'm curious if HSPA+ works also. We'll see. I'm just not a fan or T-mobile for data. AT&T is so so but when ti comes to data Sprint/Verizon seem to be ahead of everyone.

A simpler question is, who isn't going to have 4G before AT&T?
