I'm sure the name will be exclusive and it will be called something else on other carriers. Anyone have any more info? I'm sure HTC will be on board with a LTE Evo since they were first with the Wimax. I was rather surprised that Sprint announced LTE devices and there was nothing from HTC.

 

There has been no recent rumors about the Evo 2, maybe they are just holding off until Sprint is closer to flipping the LTE switch to finalize the components so it can have eye popping features like the first Evo. I would have to think it will have at least a 10 MP camera, possibly quad core processor, the screen probably wouldn't get much bigger but it would most likely be at least on par with the E4GT on resolution. They almost have to include the signature kickstand... Anyone heard anything or like to speculate?

I'm sure we'll start to hear something about the EVO line by spring. Usually rumors about Sprints flagship phones start to surface during that time with CTIA being the confirmation and with other phones releases being divulged then as well. With LTE coming out, Sprint may do things differently this year. CES is a good example of this strategy, Sprint has usually had a very small footprint there and I can't recall there every being a product announcement before.

And then I got my first Samsung. And I didn't like the TouchWiz UI. In fact, I hated it. So I still thought I would want my next phone to be a HTC product.

 

But now, since I have gone custom ROM, gave TouchWiz the heave-ho with ICS theme and a ICS launcher, I love my Samsung. I actually like my Samsung on a Custom ROM, more than I ever did with a HTC product on a custom ROM or stock Sense ROM.

 

So, now I am salivating over the thought of a Samsung Galaxy S3 series. Evo who?

:P

If only we didn't have to wait 6 months after world release to get the Samsung here like the Galaxy S2. Maybe with the S3, they will give it to us right away since the S2 is such a huge success.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
