There's no doubt that the iPhone will have to come to Sprint in order to compete in the market. (Wait I take that back, unless the FCC allows the destruction of the market)
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I most definitely, will not.
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
I would go back to cans and string before buying anything made by Crapple.
[EVO 4G General] ro_bro:
It would be good for my wife. Needs something simple for basic things like taking pics, videos, music, phone calls, etc.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I agree with you. I would get it for my wife as well. She has an Optimus S now which is her first Android device and she's still figuring out to work it after having it for 3-4 months. her phone is basically stock...smh lol.

She was in love with the iphone 3Gs but I convinced her to switch to Sprint so that I could get the Nexus S 4G and possibly the Evo 3D...lol.

But yeah, I'm definitely not getting an iphone.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I MOST DEFINITELY will be switching. Without I doubt in my mind. I went from G1 > iPhone. The only reason I switched to sprint is because of the employee discount. It would feel good to go back home...

If they add LTE to the version coming out later this year with a bigger screen ill definitely consider getting one. **** loyalty to a brand I like my phone to work.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
This makes sense and it will be interesting to see how this Android v Apple battle plays out when the iPhone is available on every major US carrier. I had an iPhone in the past and while its a fantastic device, its not the phone for me. My wife may be interested though...
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
It would have to have a 4"+ screen and android being boot locked and watered down for me to consider it.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Wouldn't even consider it without a 4"+ screen.

Ugh. With ATT taking Tmobile prisoner, Sprint was the last refuge from the icreeps . Just walking into a store knowing that crap is in there makes me want to puke.

Wm6.5 and below is ****. Bettwr yet, the apps are pretty much the same on all of the operating systems, and after playing with one for 2 days, drove me away from android completely. And I sure as **** wont miss douchebags on xda. No wonder all of the devs leave this site.

Iphone forums are way worse and have that cult like following.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I'm not going to bash you for liking WP7, as far as I can tell its a great OS and I may pick up an arrive (or preferably something without a keyboard) just to give it an honest shot. So far I have owned WM6+, WebOS, iOS, and Android and Android is my favorite. My wife had a BB but I wasn't terribly pleased with it.

As far as your comment about d-bags here at xda, unfortunately this is just a sample of what is happening on forums all over the place. Whether its a forum for cars, computers, phones, motorcycles, etc - I have noticed the same BS and antics. I guess its just a representation of how people today behave on the internet. What I'm saying is that no matter what phone you go with, there will always be assholes and d-bags to sour the experience, you just have to ignore them as best you can. For the record, I'm not referring to anyone in this thread as an asshole or d-bag.

Options are great as we all have different preferences. If WP7 is the phone for you then by all means- more power to you.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You speak the truth.

In case people haven't noticed, people are much more rude and cold than they used to be.

There are many reasons for this that are very interesting but have nothing to do with this topic.

But it's not just the internet.

It just gets a little creepy that whenever I walk into an apple store and ask a question the employees answer always starts with "well Steve jobs says..."

This is your response? Really?

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
Life is what you make of it plain and simple.

If you make it hard it's going to be that way. If you make it easy then it will be easy.

Make your own way and do not rely on others to do things for you. Hard work pays off more then hand outs.
[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
I don't know why I am being belittled for liking WP7 over Android. Especially over a website that is supposed to be used to talk to people about subjects like this one.

Yeah, people are a lot more rude and arrogant at this website every single day I go on here. Which is exactly why I don't like having an opinion here. I normally flash a few things, ask a question, and go my way. But to the person who acted like DOUCHEBAG, they are the reason I can't stand going on here.

Everyone have a blessed day.

I like WP7 and Android. But if I had to choose, WP7.
[EVO 4G General] MrReptar:
Never had a WP7 phone, I was either on a blackerry or android. What is it you like about WP7? I never really experienced it, besides for a few minutes at the Sprint's display. I always contemplated about getting the HTC sliding phone with WP7, but ended up with the Evo at the end.

Well there are forums for apple fan boys like yourself... you say this forum wouldnt exist is crazy... have you seen the forums that iphone has (google it... does apple have a search engine..LOL) one site is modmyi.com. This site does more than just give ppl like me the ability to create and customize our devices the way WE want it to be....

jailbreak? does that sound familiar... how many ppl jailbroke their phone bc of the lack of......... Now i could destroy all comments about the iphone based on jailbreak alone...

or the fact that "ol steve" put a $12 radio in the iphone and jacked up the cost to over $100... talk about profit?

so please if you want to ride the wave of iphone fan boys please delete your account... sign up at modmyi.com and enjoy the iphone fans there... Droid 4 life... Google for life... Catch up Apple

I loved the live tiles on the front. All of the integration is really nice, not to mention the battery life is AMAZING stock. I just don't have the time to make all of this stuff amazing with flashing different things.

Android is good too. Ive made it to the point where it is very stable and powerful. WP7 for the win for me. Everyone has different opinions though.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
jesus this thread is crazy so much hate and some of you like apple yet have the evo does it matter? you have the phone you have and you got it because it was the best at the time. i dont think the OP wanted a bashing thread for 22 pages and some of you guys are straight dicks and some of you do read what you want and i have been loling; cause this is stupid all have there ups and downs either you like wp7 or ios or android but like others have said its to each his own. so stop being assholes grow up and enjoy the phone you have dont like it get a diff phone and make it work on whatever carrier you want this is about as dumb as the bashing of carriers. all have ups and downs but its about what you need and can get. i prefer android due to open source and i have loved it even more after becoming a member here on xda due to all the great devs. that do awesome things will i be getting a iphone no would i get a wp7 maybe id try it but dont have that kind of money to just try nor do i want to waste time/money to i had a tp2 and loved it. so its all about what you need. thanks for your time and seriously grow up people damn.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
Going to add my two cents, even though no one cares and just likes to *****.

I like android. I first bought a samsung moment in December, 2009. It was decent..coming from an instinct. They didn't upgrade my account though for some odd reason (still go the instinct for upgrade price), so i found out that the Evo was going to be a huge device. Waited in line, and got it on the 4th (only two available outside of preorders, at radioshack). I love my Evo. I vowed i would never get an all touch screen again (the instinct blew..).

However, i have had to flash numerous roms, kernels and such to get good battery life. And for some reason, a rom will work perfectly for a couple of weeks (with amazing battery..) but then turn to absolute ****. I don't even use my phone half the time now, but two hours after i unplug it i am down to 70%. Granted i am roaming with three bars, i shouldn't be that low.

I bought an iPad in march, because i hate always wanted a "laptop replacement". It isn't a replacement, but i for sure use my iPad more than my laptop nowadays. It is very easy to take places, amazing battery life (its been unplugged since Saturday morning at 9, and is at 46% with playing music for 16 hours combined, and texting). Apple has something with their devices..they work. It isn't bad to have something that just works.

I would love to have a phone that lasts more than 8 hours on a charge, and a laptop that lasts more than 3 hours on a charge. Where can i find this? Apple. This is the reason so many people turn to apple. It is so easy to use, and lasts so long. Resale value is awesome too. My evo was bought for 200$. When it first came out i could of sold it for 4-500$. If i buy an iPhone 4, it will hold a value of 300+ until iPhone "6" comes out. Ill be lucky to get 200 out of this by the end of summer.

All in all, each has their advantages. I like android and how open it is..i can do anything to it. I like my iPad because battery life is amazing. Yeah, its locked down a bit, but i also have it to where i can download any app, off of my apps..can you do that?
[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
There is a pretty good chance you missed a couple of commas in there....
[EVO 4G General] dwntwnall4u:

Damn there is a fanboys out here. You could just say yes or no

Ha ha anyways well Idk I already got an iPhone for work. So probably no, but man games and apps in iphone are better, I hope ice cream helps On this, developers have to take too long to make sure their apps work on 100+ devices

But what about the iPhone issue with not being able to replace battery?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Let's see... crappy iPhone or the Evo 3D or Samsung Within... hmmmm... tough decision...
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
I wouldn't accept a samsung anything made out of gold, for half price.
[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
I've had some problems with HTC too. The best phone I had (as far as hardware goes) was my hero. My evo seems to "click" whenever there is a vibration on the screen, and my ear speaker is really crackly.

The Samsung had a really good vibration, but that speaker was messed up too. Not to mention it missed keys quite often which was frustrating. I've replaced both phones twice lol.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Im not WP7 fan, but one thing ill definitely say it does better is actually utilize the hardware... efficiently.
[EVO 4G General] makisupa79:
I won't be picking one up. But an iphone with a $79 a month all inclusive price tag would definitely help sprint attract some customers.
[EVO 4G General] Vdubtx:
Wife would definitely want one. Me, I'll stick to my EVO or whatever the latest and greatest Android phone is at the time.
[EVO 4G General] MsRandall:
I would buy one just to see what the hype is about...I have friends who swear the iphone is the best thing since sliced bread. So although I would buy one it would have to live up to every hype Ive heard for me to keep it over my evo or evo 3d.
[EVO 4G General] MDGamer11:
NO....

Android FTW iPhone nope LOL

as much a i like Macs i dont like the iPhone i got my first android phone which was the HTC Evo and i coudlnt be happier with it

NO IPHONE!!!
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Have you ever own an iPhone?

I had an iphone for over 2 years and there is not problem with battery life, it last all day and 30% down when I get home the Evo I have to use 2 batteries to be at the same level, plus an iphone charges 50% in like half hour that's fast compare to the Evo
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Lol. I would have to disagree... went to a weeknd concert with few places to charge, and my evo outlasted my friends iphone every day. I was using mine more too.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Would you prefer being locked in a nice hotel room with free ppv on the tv, and steak and lobster dinner every meal?

Or would you like to be out in the open and be free to eat wherever you want (including some crappy joints) and watch any movie you want?

Simple choice - I take freedom every time.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I've owned an iPhone and the difference is not nearly this extreme.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I own a iPhone 4 plus a EVO, and there is a major difference. BUT all of our words/opinions don't mean ****. Let the benchmarks do the talking; from anandtech:

Sidenote: web browsing tests are unfair to AMOLED displays since almost all webpages are 90% white. But this shouldn't effect regular LCD/IPS/TFT displays.

I bought a used iPhone 3GS for my brother. Its only ~1 year old and the battery life is terrible. So much that he now has to pay $$$ to get the battery replaced by Apple.
[EVO 4G General] dfskevinohyeah:
if they made a faster, and slimmer evo! no way in hell am i switching!
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I had a 3gs and according to those benchmarks is only ~ 25% better battery life. The previous poster was claiming a difference of almost 100% on an iPhone that he had for 2 years (not an ip4) which, like I said and according to your benchmarks would not be true. Thanks for confirming what I said.

The evo screen is ~20% bigger. Though I am not sure how much screen size actually correlates with battery consumption. Interesting that the phone with the largest screen on the market has some of the beat battery life.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
It took me 3 phones over the course of as many years to get my wife onto the EVO Shift... she used to prefer rocking the old-school yellow and black Nextel bricks because she didn't want anything complicated and she didn't want to worry about dropping it. I had to coax her over to the Samsung Rant, then the Samsung moment and finally she's got a top-end phone after being married to a Sprint Nextel employee for 10 years... but even so, she hasn't even customized her home screen beyond choosing a different wallpaper and doesn't even know she's rooted (I just took her phone for a couple of hours and told her she'd have ads blocked, no sprint apps, and better battery life when I was done).

Bottom line, while I'm sure there are plenty of wives out there who know just as much or more about this stuff then we do, my wife sure as hell ain't one of 'em! And the vast majority of them are never going to get nearly as geeked up about this stuff as we do. of course, that's probably true of most guys as well.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Did you use data at all? I do a lot of data on both phones, maybe that's the reason and trust me I have done it and try it many times

After about four years of comparing the iphone with other smartphones, I came to one conclusion.....the iphone is pure garbage.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
so if/when the iphone comes to sprint i think the sprint website should be hacked and this put up. obviously the version would have to be changed (for those that would care about that) but i thought this was awesome lol.

You too? I thought it was just me who would do that.

So true! I just clicked your thanks button!!!~ ;):D
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
First off, way to go searching and updating an old thread with new info rather than creating a new one.

Secondly, a few weeks ago I definitely would have been ready to trade out for an iPhone. Now that I have my Nexus, though, I doubt I will go back to iOS. Especially since a lot of the iOS 5 "new features" are repackaged Android features. What's the draw?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Oh God...As if out 3g network doesn't already suck, we now have to endure a bunch of iphone followers...I really didn't think the network could get any slower than dial-up speeds, but if this happens, we will be lucky to see 10kbps
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Did hell just freeze over?

I never saw the draw to begin with.
[EVO 4G General] mchunu:
I hope sprint allows us the option to upgrade all lines to the iphone @ new customer pricing. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will threaten to cancel and go to another network to get the pricing if sprint doesn't.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
well nobody is sure what the real specs of the iphone 5 will be yet...there are rumors here and there but anything is possible. I love my evo and android, but there are times I wished I didn't have to mess with my phone just to get good battery life or uninstall bloat to help my device chug along. I'm also jealous of all the support iphones get from app and game developers. I wouldn't mind having updated games like final fantasy on my phone, but that will probably never happen. Most games are released and optimized on iphones first and sometimes never get released on android.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol already threatening to cancel and the phone doesn't even exist yet?
[EVO 4G General] github:
Maybe. I did agree with what you said, but I was also checking to see if I would get a response.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Does that surprise you? lol
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
Other than bogging down the network who cares it will just be another Sprint phone that I pay no attention to(like any Kyocera,or lower tier phone) when I'm there

brought to you by the little voices in my head
[EVO 4G General] m20120:
I think it would be great if Sprint gets the iphone but I have no need for one. I am very happy with android and I like to have more control over everything than apple will allow.
[EVO 4G General] mchunu:
I'm not threatening....yet. But I'm pretty sure others will. This falls right into line with sprint changing their TOS with their admin fe and people have already gotten out of their ETF because of it. And the fact that EVO users should still be in their 2 year contact still and want an early upgrade Sprint will be forced to do something to compete. They may go as far as offering the phones at new customer pricing for any customer over one year into their current contact if they trade in their current phone. I would love to get an iphone being as though I used to own the iphone 3g and iphone 4 when it first came out buy I'd prefer to keep my evo and just use it on wifi.....(if only we could just swap sim cards like back in the day on nextel it would be a win win!)

That bring said I can see myself getting the iphone 5
