    HTC EVO 4G LTE

    Is that badboy rocking ICS yet?? Any thoughts on the fingerprint attracting plastic surrounding the camera that I saw in a hands on demo?? Personally not an issue for me since I have used a silicon case to protect since my OG EVO...I'll take the added thickness since I've been known to drop a phone or two...

    HTC EVO 4G LTE

    Yeah - it's here... Specs look nice but not as good as rumored. If LTE lights up soon for me - I'm in... http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-specs http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-gallery Not sure what all the crying is about the look of the phone in all the forums over there. Looks damn good to me.
  4. Meh....4.0" WVGA sceren and Gingerbread are so 2011....LOL Not a bad entry level device though.
  5. Unless it's a OneX / EVO ONE with a non-removable battery
  6. would have been funny if you'd have ended the report on Cleveland with "April Fools!"
  7. My loyalty has been based on cost, which of late is no longer as much of a difference as it once was. With the added "premium data" charges that many (myself included) don't truly enjoy except via WiFi and the paltry 4G network coverage in my home/business area, the shift in the discount structure and overall family shared plan pricing - the massive delta between my Sprint bill and what a similar plan would be on Verizon is now only a few dollars. With 2 heavy data users, 1 basically only email and maps, and 1 non-smart phone on my plan, I'm paying $30 extra a month now for ... well for what I'm not sure anymore. Unlimited for me is very limited. I average around 6GB on WIFI and under 1GB on network because of limited coverage at home and at my office (roaming in the break room? Really????) The coverage maps provided by Sprint are so weak that, even though I'm apparently within 2 miles of a 4G tower (guessing based on the coverage gradations) that I still need an Airave in my home to get any signal at all. I left ATT for exactly this reason and I feel stupid for not listening to my neighbors (all loving their Verizon coverage) because Sprint had the phone I'd been wanting - the amazing Samsung Katana. I'm off contract now on my on line, and will be next year for 2 others. If LTE isn't here (south Orange County) and insanely good - I'm a goner, and my loyalty will be based on what it should be based on - QUALITY SERVICES.
  8. I'm taking everything with a grain of salt until next week. If the amped up battery and SD slot are real, i'll be waiting on launch day to grab one....and then wait patiently for LTE to lite up in the OC LOL....
  9. You mentioned updates to the OC CA scheduling about a week ago in my intro post in the Welcome forum...did I miss them or still on deck?
  10. sitting in my office (dreamin of the One XL / Jet / EVO HD LTE or whatever they gonna call it)... ping 242ms down 233kbps up 121kbps little better than the other day when i was topping out at less than 150kbps down... my last 4G test was 5.6Mbps down...not the best but i'd be happy with that on a regular basis and not just on the one street in my city that seems to have a 4G tower

    That's sweet...now if they could just hit my city with LTE and the Jet at the same time I'd be stylin!
  12. my bad...missed that comment addressing the LTE compatibility issue I'm likely upgrading to this beast regardless! will be great birthday present to myself if actually hits in June.

    Been lurking on the site for a while and finally registered. I've got 3 of 4 lines that i'm paying for premium data on but getting virtually no "premium" service so the new 4G LTE is of serious interest to me. I'm in OC CA so hopefully we'll be lit up sooner rather than later. My upgrade is due...but no new phone for me until I'm convinced LTE in my area is acutally a reality, unlike the seemingly single street coverage in my city for wimax. I'm happy that LA, OC and now Riverside/IE are announced since that blankets the area I'm in 99% of the time. Love the site and thanks for all the info!
  14. Check out MeanROM - it's a modded stock ROM for the 3D that has that removed as well (with a flashable zip to restore if desired) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362 I get great battery and it's stable...
  15. HTC site says the One X is a 1.5GHz quad core - why would the Jet spec drop to dual core? http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs
  16. New to the forum but lurking the site for some time - happy to hear that the OC is on the list for 2012, but I'm highly skeptical of what it really means. I bought into the whole 4G ballyhoo with the OG Evo and have been so disappointed in it that I've been pondering a move to Verizon. Where I live is supposed to be covered by 4G according to Sprint's maps, but I require the use of an Airave just to get a semi decent signal in my own home (and I mean maybe 2-3 bars vs 0 bars). 4G in my city seems to consist of one major street and it's awesome when you are on that street. But I can barely pull a 3G signal inside the Denny's that is ON THAT STREET, even sitting in a window booth not 20 feet from the street itself. I watched a speed test go from 7MBPS down to timing out in a span of walking from my car in the lot to the restaurant. My office is barely any better, with zero 4G and a barely usable 3G signal (and forget trying to check FB from the cr_pper where my phone goes to ROAMING for crying out loud!). Sitting at my desk right now i pulled this whopper: 877ms ping / 53kbps up / timed out...oops I dropped to 1X. retest on 3G again 407ms ping / 124kbps up / 21kbps down.....how exactly is this premium data again?? 4G was even non-existent in the Sprint Store where I upgraded my family's phones a while back and they guys there had no clue about when/if it would get any better. I plan to stop by the newly opened store which is right off the 4G street tonight to see if it's any better there. My upgrade is due and I'm holding off for the LTE roll out to hit - and if it's anything like the current WIMAX fiasco I will absolutely be saying ta ta to Sprint and heading to Verizon. I feel like I've dumped hundreds of dollars down the drain for "premium data" that I basically can only access via WiFi in my home and 4G that's now obsolete before it was ever even realistic for use in my area.
