Yeah - it's here...

Specs look nice but not as good as rumored. If LTE lights up soon for me - I'm in...

Not sure what all the crying is about the look of the phone in all the forums over there. Looks damn good to me.
I'm not saying it was aliens.....but it was aliens.

There's a lot of...well, badness in the world today. I see it in court every day. I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. I didn't want to do it - I felt I owed it to them.

Still not a fan of the dual tone, but it has grown on me. where is the micro-sim slot.

Has Sprint mentioned HD voice quality as a feature of NV before?

You have to slide off the top half of back.

According to HTC site for the phone, it's LTE Bands 2(PCS) and 25(PCS + G Block).

I don't understand why "support" both

I am sold, its not quite what I expected but this phone is hot. This has everything the one x needed to be the perfect phone. Larger battery, micro sd card support in addition to the 16 thats built in, dedicated camera button, kickstand all while still maintaining the same thinness of the one x.

It is a great phone. I just wish they kept the top half aluminum, but had one square under the camera that was polycarbonate for the NFC chip. Still a very very good phone, but I'll probably wait to see what Samsung or motorola brings out.

Will finally upgrade from my Evo 4G for this... After the initial bugs are worked out... AND when Sprint lets us.... If I still work at Sprint.

A lot of conditions there.

I really don't understand what all the crying is about either! Folks are dogging it out like its some rotten inbred stepchild from 2009. Maybe because of the red on it and the fact the other two had red detailing? Subtract the color, and you've got an HTC One with a kickstand... AND its got an microSD slot! Win! Has the average smartphone buying plebe been so confused by the onslaught of smartphone options that they base their willingness to like a device on the lines on the back cover and/or the color of it?

I want to wait until later in the year to upgrade.. but I'll keep this sweet thang on my radar and am really eager to read its reviews

I have to say I kinda like it. And after taking the plunge on modding my Evo 4G to run ICS, my upgrade itch is probably sated until the EVO 4G LTE hits in June. Although after a few months of pure Google experience I'm not sure I'll want Sense back...

Does it support a sim card? I seen pictures of the verge on the back and it only has a MICROSD slot.

NFC operates in the HF band at 13.56 MHz. At that frequency, wavelength is 75 feet. By comparison, 1900 MHz wavelength is roughly 6 inches. So, I am dubious that NFC could have been made to work in a full metal shell. And, personally, I think that HTC and Sprint should have stuck with the solid polycarbonate body.

Anxious to hear more about the "HD Voice" capabilities of the EVO 4G LTE. The first review/video I've found claims it works pretty well.

I agree. the evo 4g lte, is not a one series phone. It may have the same specs(plus more), but it is part of the evo line. It wouldn't be right to have the same look of the one X and call it an EVO

I did not know that. The two tone has grown on me since first seeing it.
