I know it was mentioned the EVO 4G LTE should be $549 off contract, but I thought I would mention T-Mobile is selling the HTC One S for $600 off contract and $199 on contract.

Hope that is just a T-Mobile thing and Sprint will price the EVO 4G LTE right.

Yup mentioned this a few posts above this actually...

Right on.... yeah... i just found that kinda crazy that tmobile had the One S that high. Hope the Evo 4G LTE is priced at the $550... or less!

After seeing some reviews on the Qualcomm S4 Krait on Anandtech, I am definitely going to get this phone. It blows all others out of the water. On a lot of the gpu tests, it even topped the iPhone 4s. I got out of my contract to get this phone pre-ordered on May 5th. I am sure others can do it too. Just call retentions and complain that you are not happy with your phone and give a few examples. I have done this twice now: once with my wife's phone since she wanted an iPhone 4s and had a HTC EVO 3D, and now with my HTC EVO 3D. It cost me $165 to do it but when I sell back my phone to Sprint for $100, I will only be out $65 plus the $199 for the EVO 4G LTE.

I am so unhappy with the EVO 3D. The radio on this thing is just horrible and didn't know just how bad until my wife got here iPhone 4s. Here signal strength is more stable it seems than mine. Mine would go from 4 bars to zero bars as soon as I pick the thing up. Anyway hopefully the 4G LTE will have a better radio.

I have read that the S4 does LTE on chip, which would save a lot of battery power. Other LTE phones have a second chip to do LTE, draining a lot of battery. I think Anandtech was talking about it.

I am in Charlotte, NC, and I hope they start upgrading the towers around here. So far my area, 28214, I get terrible data speeds. Although, I do get very decent WiMax speeds of 6-10Mbps.

Anyway I am so psyched about getting this phone!!

If ERP is any indication, the EVO 4G LTE has an even weaker radio than does the EVO 3G. Sorry.

Really, wow. That sucks. It was one of the phones I wanted to replace my Photon.

Wouldn't it be a wash when NV comes online? From what I read here even 1900mhz will be more efficient because of tower reconstruction.

I hear ya man. I was just in downtown charlotte for a few days the beg of this week. I sat in the hotel room near the window and watched my phone go from 1bar to full bars over and over with me not doing anything to it at all...musta been between towers....Wimax covererage was decent in town though...

Now that I've started a new job here in raleigh my location has horrid coverage. Zero bars or 3 bars roaming....hence the device always sits on zero bars usually lol...NV can't come soon enough here.

Bummer. I hope that that won't be the case.

If I didn't have Roam Control, I don't know what I would do. Had the Airwave but had texting issues with it and sometimes calls not reaching me. However here recently, say in the past month or so, I have had multiple texting issues with 3 different EVO 3Ds. When I force roam, I will get multiples of the same text message (like 30 times!!!) even when there are new messages in the queue. It will just keep sending me the same message over and over again and never give me the new messages. I roam on Cricket, so I don't know if it is a Cricket or Sprint issue. It is really irritating. I have to go back to the Sprint Network to get the new text messages and then go back to Roam so I can receive/make calls. Crazy...

I really hope that the issues I am having is because they are upgrading the towers in my area. At least I would know there would light at the end of the tunnel...

You may want to try a PRL modified with VZW as a higher priority than Cricket and see if that improves things. I roam on VZW a lot, and have no issues.

Hey Robert, do you have any further updates on the release date of the evolte? I am sure you read about the rumored release date of may 18th? What are your thoughts?

Its funny you should ask. Just got a doc yesterday that still says 6/10 launch. They are also having some issues in the lab. I'm not optimistic on an early release.

Issues in the lab? Is there any way you can elaborate on that?

I'm travelling today. Don't have access to them on the road. I'm still deciding whether to write an article on it. Probably will.

The EVO 4G LTE failed its PED test. The lab now has to confirm the "B" sample.

The EVO 4G LTE got caught juicing. You don't seriously believe that a phone could get that big yet stay that slim by natural means, do you?
