you guys with your speed tests the results vary huge depending on what speedtest server you are connecting to. if you are connecting through one of the hubs like Atl. your likely to see faster results even if that hub is much further away than the closest one to you.

This was posted already on here the other day with a map of all the hubs btw.

[EVO 4G General] Mitch Matrixx:
Different technology...

This is not possible without an add on technology such as wimax, or umts etc.

Cdma- voice and data are tx' d and rx' d using same antennae, and cable.

And with all this talk of rev. B, does anyone even know if the evo's chipset supports it?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
yes, evo is revb capable, might need firmware but the chip can do it
[EVO 4G General] :
yeah, qsd8650 chip is capable of:

GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS/WCDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, MBMS, CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel.0, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. A, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO MC(MC-Rev. A), CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. B

Wow that is revolutionary..........
[EVO 4G General] :
I actually think this would be a really popular device, because it would essentially be a tablet you could pull out of your pocket (...or have up your sleeve?) and use with one screen and one hand or both screens and two hands. It would eliminate the need to carry a laptop/tablet and a separate phone. Sanyo makes some good quality phones (that's the same as kyocera, right?) or at least they did about ten years ago when I had a sprint sanyo bar style phone. The only problem I have with this is that two widescreens side by side essentially form a square and the total screen would take us back to 4:3 resolutions. Two hidden widescreens would be better, to form a 3x widescreen.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
While it's "neat", it certainly isn't anything that would interest me honestly. I can't imagine why in the world I would need two screens on my phone for.... Even with 3.5" screens they are just too small to really do anything effective IMO other than say "I have two screens". Maybe the specs of the phone would make up for it.... plus, I am quite partial to HTC devices.

Tablets are so stupid. The EVO is perfect size for Android. Tablets are not phones. I will not buy a tablet and pay monthly to use it. I will buy an iPad and use my WiFi just like I use my laptop and desktop.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
if a tablet could make and receive calls I would buy it, I use bluetooth earpiece anyways, never had evo against my face, and it would be fantastic for it to do everything a tablet can do and make calls, my evo is my small tablet until its big brother comes out
[EVO 4G General] :
Im not interested in tablets themselves, and I agree the evo is the perfect size for a phone, but it's not about having two screens or paying for a tablet.

You get a phone approximately the size of an evo and also a small tablet (not two separate screens, I assume they would be seamless when opened). It would be really nice to have wireless connectivity for a tablet and phone in the same convertible device and only pay for one device. If youre gonna carry around a traditional tablet and use it on wifi, you might as well just carry a laptop, since neither will fit in your pocket. And as cool as the evo is, it can't do everything a laptop or tablet can do, mostly the extra valuable screen size that would allow all websites to be viewed easily and video to be viewed at a more reasonable size.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Sprint will change it all! Now, you will have 31 days to see if the service is right for you! No other company offers this!

The CPU supports it but the EVO lacks the transmitter or something like that. Looked it up about a month ago.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
If it really is a dual screen phone from Kyocera, unless they make it a beast, I am totally not even remotely interested.

It will at lease be a dual screen android.

The Kyocera Echo smashes the last barrier between you and the ultimate mobile experience. Its unique dual-touchscreen, pivot hinge design gives you all the space you need to run the apps that connect you to the people and information you need every day. Spread your work across all 4.7 inches of combined display or use each smaller display independently to run multiple apps. Closed, the Kyocera Echo is a pocket-friendly smartphone. Open it and expand your world.

[EVO 4G General] WrlsFanatic:
No, the EVO can do what you're talking about as well... Voice and data, but voice is CDMA and data is wimax/LTE for those phones. He's talking about doing voice and data BOTH over CDMA.

Heres to hoping HP announces a sweet ass super phone for Sprint but realizing we will probably get stuck with another version of a Palm Pre. :X
[EVO 4G General] :
That event was such a joke. Why did we need David Blaine? How is this making the impossible possible? How are they considering this an industry first worth talking about? I can only assume Kyocera wanted its own event in exchange for Sprint exclusivity... Wow
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I know that. I'm talking about SVDO/Rev. B. EVO can't do neither.

When it's a Tegra 2 dual core with two 4.3 inch screens, 4G, and nice cameras from a manufacturer that has some kind of reputation and we'll talk.

As of right now this is an epic fail.

Oh and next to no bezel around the screens. And a battery or batteries in each screen to keep the thing on all day. Basically this phone is about 5 years ahead of itself.

as soon as they pushed that hideous monster out, i went to sleep.

i feel let down, embarrassed, and ashamed to even be affiliated with sprint now

i have a feeling kyocera paid for all of this event.. no way sprint would spend such money on this device when they couldve released through internet news outlets.

they had an opportunity to 'wow' us with so many options, so many better options than this crud.
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
To be honest this whole event was too hyped up for anyone to walk away satisfied. I'm gonna wait for my Evo 2, but this phone is actually really cool in my opinion, and had they stepped up the hardware it could've been a killer device.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
and what the hell was the point of david blaines underwater magic trick?

it had absolutely nothing to do with the phone, spitting out fish, and lasted a couple minutes.

talk about a waste of time and money.

was he trying to tell us something? the phone is going to be a FLOP?

Yes it is! I'm hoping that tomorrow we do have WIMAX added to it! It will make up for my feelings right now. Maybe if Sprint announced they were supporting them by giving them a ton of money to develop this further as an option for ROMs on this phone that would have made for a better event! lol

[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
I'm guessing:

SDVO (CDMA talk & data ability)

EVDO. Rev B in the U.S.? (unlikely)

Wimax Upgrade

4G iPhone 4 or iPad

4G Blackberry Touch phone

4G Webos Flagship phone

4G PlayStation Phone :)

Nokia Meego device?

Sprint Assimilation device? (Think Peel for iPhone/iPod)

Thinking of 1sts here, so EVO 2 is out.

[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
I'll go with the HTC 7 Pro with WiMax. That'd be an industry first (WP7 + 4G), and it makes sense because we know that Sprint's going to get WP7 in the coming months, but they didn't showcase a specific WP7 handset at CES.

Anyhow, just a guess on my part. FWIW, I haven't heard any rumors around here, but I'm pretty low on the Sprint totem pole, so I usually hear it first on the internet before I'm told anything "official".
[EVO 4G General] sparhawk6:
I'm going with the Blackberry Playbook. The first blackberry tablet on them market. Not that exciting :(
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:

Me. I LOVE my archos 70.
[EVO 4G General] jimbobcooterrooter:
I could not agree more!
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
speculation is either:

evo2

free 4g....

wimax to lte

a merger or takeover of t-mobile that was rumored awhile back.

some speculate the iphone or a 4g iphone but i doubt it.

whatever it is, it's being done to try to steal thunder from verizons iphone launch.

the bottom line is sprint has something BIG up their sleeves and they have been very quiet lately.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i don't think it's about microsoft, hp/palm or rim tbh. maybe not even android specific as alot of different mobile os developers and sites are invited to go. this has something to do with their networks IMO.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
it could be but i doubt it. if that were to happen then steve jobs would be there on stage.

im sorta hoping it's some sort of contract change that will allow me to leave sprint without paying my etf's. they often change policies and when they do you can get out scott free.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
that probably will happen but at hp's event. this is about something else.
[EVO 4G General] sparhawk6:
There's no way it will be a WiMax Iphone. Apple hasn't done an LTE iphone, and probably won't until the 2nd gen chips come out, because the current radios suck battery life. The WiMax radios do the same thing (sucks battery like crazy on the EVO).

Apple's philosophy is not to give the consumer a choice about turning on the 4g radio or not. Their philosophy is that the consumer expects the product to work great under all conditions, sacrificing nothing, and if they market the phone as a 3g phone, then they don't ruin the consumer expectation by not offering a 4g radio.

So, IMO, there is no way in hell that this is going to be a WiMax iphone.
[EVO 4G General] kyrumo71:

iphone regardless if it's 4g or not could also happen.

[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:

[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I think most of you here are way off in assuming that "Industry First", "Innovation", etc would have anything to do with a new phone being announced. It has to be something related to the technology in the service, or maybe a new plan feature like unlimited world calling or something like that.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
+1... announce something network related and then you may see new phone announcements.
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
No iPhone. It said industry first. So I'm guess CDMA WP7 or something to do with WebOS. I sure hope a WebOS tablet. I love my Evo but if Sprint releases a WebOS tablet, its an almost guarantee buy from me.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Personally, I think they're introducing a new update to the Nascar App. Completely loaded with UI enhancements and the like. What could be more revolutionary than that?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:

[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
i do, i already have a pretty good phone and LTE based or update hardware for phones at this point doesn't help. I would say GB on the Evo is all but a foregone conclusion so some decent tablets based on Honeycomb wouldn't be bad to hear. I am selfish, i don't want to hear about stuff i can't take advantage of yet haha
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
How would that qualify as an industry first?
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
We know for certain that sprint isn't announcing anything tab related because of their mentioning of the announcement being "another first". There's nothing tab related that can be considered a "first" at this point imo, or it's really unlikely that sprint would focus an entire event on it...

I think the most likely thing is the announcement of something Evo related. They went crazy with advertising the Evo as being the first 4g, front camera, etc, so just the fact that they mention another first automatically leads me to assume that it's possibly the announcement of the Evo 2 or something..

I really dont care, so long as it's something good
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
I bet it's going to be lame like a 4g TABLET or a CDMA Windows Phone 7 with 4g.. sprint tends to disappoint me over the years with their lame announcements and crappy selection of phones. Only thing good that came out of sprint is their price plans and the EVO 4g.
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
they could release a wimax based xoom and that would be another first, first tablet on "4G"
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:

[EVO 4G General] mclife:
it wouldn't be the first 4G tablet. The Xoom for Verizon has a SIM slot (presumably for LTE) already.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
im calling it now that it's something network related that will affect newer smartphones that will be announced. IE.. wp7, iphone, webos, android.

To the people saying a 4g iphone, it won't happen..for a while. Apple doesn't adopt new technology for a while, they wait a bit and then put it into their new device. Just like they could of easily put a front camera on the ipad, but they didn't..but it will be in the next one.

In a fantasy I would like to agree with you, however I dont think and hope its not a tablet or plan announcement.

I hope its something Iphone related not that I would ditch my evo for an Iphone but it would pull market share from verizon and ATT sprint with out a doubt is one of the most stable of all of the carriers.

Although I will say getting the Iphone isnt the best of things since the EVO does everything the Iphone can do and more.
[EVO 4G General] Cole28:
We are happy to introduce the "Instinct HD Plus" with added bugs!
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I really doubt it's gonna be a new phone. Most likely a tablet or something internal such as a new contract option or change. Or since an illusionist will be on scene, they will announce a new Instinct but make it look like it's an iPhone. hahaha

From a little birdie...

"The HTC EVO 4G on Sprint's Now Network will be the first Android device in the United States to offer Android 2.3. The first carrier to offer Android 2.2 will once again be the industry leader by upgrading their offering before any other carrier. The update will magically begin on February 7, 2011 and be rolled out in stages. Current users can access this upgrade OTA on their device or by visiting a Sprint Service Center."

Not that I have anything to confirm this, but that's what I've had slid across my desk...
[EVO 4G General] mclife:
If its that, I'd be pretty disappointed.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
highly doubt they would hold a invite only meeting over a ota upgrade of the evo. + highly doubt that 2.3 is done for it.

Most likely:

1. the first cdma wp7 with 4g

2. iphone4.

Won't be a tablet, 100% sure. They released the blackberry tablet, and highly doubt they would hold a separate meeting for another tablet.
