I read some other theories on this, and I found one that I kind of liked/was a decent industry first.

Sounds kind of cool. It would definitely be a first for Sprint to offer the ability to tie multiple phones or devices to one account for minimal to no cost increase per month.
[EVO 4G General] info[]box1:
I think its going to be an Htc window7 device.
[EVO 4G General] tech7:
Well hope is rev b and wimax wave 2 and 1xadvance and evil 2 i mean evo 2 with bettet specs
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Whats the battery drain on that beast ? Don't need a 3D screen to drain it even more :confused:

I am just hoping for an EVO 2 release this Summer, running the newest Android OS, with better screen tech maybe AMOLED, dual cores, more ram, and better battery life. I expect that realistically in an EVO-2, and guessing it will be out in June/July.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Just got off the phone with one of my contacts. He said he will be able to find out for me, but it'll have to wait till Feb. 7... I will tell you guys what it is by then.

I thought that, being how this is one of the few posts by you containing actual words, you would actually contribute to something.

Almost had a heart attack.

Phew :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Sprint might discontinue 4gees and tell us to go die in a hole. Haha gotta look at tthe negatives too ;)

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.

[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Not to rain on your parade but read up the posts and you'll see I mentioned HP was having there own event on feb9th for WebOS tablet a page or two back. Along with other people too.

so no this is NOT the answer to what sprint is doing in there event.
[EVO 4G General] DanBergundy:
There is no way David Blaine is there to announce upgrades to android rolling out or some stupid non-industry-first speculation. 90% of these ideas in here do not even come close to warranting an event like this...
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
So what you think is going to happen?

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Making the impossible possible.....

Maybe simultaneous data / voice on cdma?
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
That along with the first tablet (HTC Scribe) that makes voice calls.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
David Blaine's going to give us the illusion that Sprint's #1....just like David Blaine is able to give the illusion that magic isn't bull****. I hate that guy, if they were going for Vegas acts they should've booked Penn and Teller regardless of what it is. :D

1. 4G tablet

2. 4G WP7 phone

5. 4G iPhone

6. 10-12MP phone

8. 1280x768 phone

EVO3D or in other words EVOLV3D.

that would be awesome.

wow, someone should hire me into marketing.
[EVO 4G General] nightzun:
they are announcing they will switch to LTE just like everyone else. blow me intel:eek:
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
LOL, thats actually pretty cool. Hell, I'd hire you!!
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
It'll probably something android, otherwise android blogs wouldn't have been invited to the event
[EVO 4G General] statecowboy:
Dude, I'm going to be the pot calling the kettle black here, but you don't seem to post anything useful but unwitty sarcasm. I normally just lurk here but you annoy me and I wanted you to know. Anyway, on topic, I too hope sprint gets rid of the ridiculous 10 4g fee, especially since I can't even use 4g.
[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
I know what they are going to annouce!!!

The answer to life is.....wait for it..

42

Or, maybe they will annouce gingerbread is coming out for the EVO, and the EVO knight...

That would be a first.....
[EVO 4G General] mekeke:
Maybe they will finally release the new version of Sense. Or Maybe even give us a release date for Gingerbread...

I know there is going to be some new amazing Android phone like the next Generation Evo. I also know that the T7P will be announced. Even though a phone with such an amazing keyboard should be running android. :B And I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Sprint iPhone announced.
[EVO 4G General] bmxrider4444:
I think it is entirely plausible that we could see a 4G iPhone. Now I realize Verizon's didn't get theirs in 4G but remember Apple didn't jump into the HSPA market, and instead released the iPhone 3g without the extra speed due to the technology being relatively new and not very widespread, then the next year once more established they started d using it, same with Verizon and their 4G I mean its not very far along as release and area goes, but Sprint has theirs up and running and has been for awhile.

But I personally am hoping for an HTC tablet with a good off contract price.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I don't know about that though because a lot of people, a lottttt, believe that LTE is going to be the standard and WiMAX will not be successful in the mobile market.

So I don't know why Apple would commit to a product that is so up in the air.

Not saying that Apple is on the brink of failing but they are under a lot of pressure in the mobile market.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
You obviously dont know much about apple to be saying that. there is absolutely ZERO chance you will see a 4g wimax iphone4 at the event. no way aapl will spend time on wimax in the phone when sprint very well could be adding lte ontop of it in the next few yrs and would cause apple to redo it all over again.

Also i think its dumb for sprint to get the iphone right now, esp when there is a new version to be shown this june/july most likely.

look its gonna be htc scribe and/or some network plan stuff.
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Why do people keep thinking Sprint and Intel won't eventually use LTE? Beceem, a company specialized in 4G WiMax, created a chip that will be run on LTE and WiMax. Do you know who Beceem works with? Research it. Sprint and Clearwire constantly stated that not only are they capable of using LTE, they could both use LTE/WiMax at the same time. Sprint's Network Vision project will give Sprint the option to switch to 4G LTE when the time comes, and still be able to use 4G WiMax. Clearwire right now is testing LTE, with Sprint supervising it. All of this is publicly known, yet I keep seeing people saying they wish Sprint switched to LTE. I'm lost.
[EVO 4G General] mekeke:
Who said that they were gonna get it now? They could be announcing that they are working with Apple to release an iOS device on their network, but they could release them in June after Apple announces the new ones.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It is possible that the announcement could be them getting the iPhone 5 with 4g but I just don't see Apple embracing WiMAX, at this point.

And how does the iPhone 5 fit in with “the Impossible is Possible" ?
[EVO 4G General] mekeke:
I don't see Apple using WiMax either. They would probably go to LTE.

I really don't see how it would. :p That quote probably has to do with the next Gen Evo phone or maybe some new WP7 phone. Or possibly the Facebook phone I have seen all over the internet.
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Apple not even embracing LTE at this point, and when they do, it will be a battle of the bands. Each carrier will have a different band, like how AT&T/T-Mobile both uses GSM, but T-Mobile uses a AWS frequency band. LTE roaming is going to be LTE's biggest problem in the future. Anyway, Apple could create an iPhone made specifically for Sprint's WiMax, but it's up to how much Sprint is willing to spend for it. Talks are being made, but it's for the iPhone 4 with 3G. If the iPhone 5 drops this summer, it won't be LTE either, though Verizon is willing to spend for one. Apple will have record breaking numbers this year, because more markets will be available for the iPhone, including the US.

Anyway, February 7th has **** to do with Apple and the iPhone/iPad, and has something to do with Android.

[EVO 4G General] 4redstars:
After some thought, the only thing I could think of is an LTE / Wimax hybrid network...

that would be a 100% first...not likely but the only true 1st I could think of.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
Just a thought, maybe a dual core phone they have been kicking around.....I wouldn't mind that!!
[EVO 4G General] gmanvbva:
I'm not sure why people keep saying webOS device.

There is no way HP would agree to let Sprint host an event announcing something they would want to announce (at their own event) two days later.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Agreed.

There's no way Sprint would undermine a product that will be coming out on their network like that.

I don't think we're even talking about a device here.

Devices don't fit under "making the impossible, possible"
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
Ya, I would bet webos won't be mentioned at all.........agreed HP will hold those cards for their event.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
Ok, let's go ahead and kill off some of the thoughts in this thread.

1. It's not going to be a dual core phone. Those aren't industry firsts. They have already been announced.

2. It's not going to be any sort of 4g tablet. Verizon already announced an LTE Galaxy Tab.

3. It's not going to be anything WP7. They already exist on ATT and one has already been announced for Sprint.

4. It's not going to be a WiMAX iPhone4. There's no way that was kept a secret for this long. We knew about the VZW iPhone last summer.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
Dual cores are announced, but have not been released yet.......that's why I was thinking dual core (maybe more of a hope though)

100th post. lol
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
Phandroid received an invite so it must be something Android related.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
You think Sprint is reading this post laughing at us all??

(I would lol)
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
again you obviously do not know how apple works. They would never allow someone to say any specifics about the next gen device before them. and even if they did, it would be silly of sprint to make big deal about it now b/c they dont have it now.

im starting to lean more towards them announcing plans to do LTW/WiMax throughout everywhere now. that will provide premium coverage and penetration when you can use either band as they both have there flaws and positives.

That or its some big plan change announcement of some sort. It could be the HTC Scribe a 3d 4g tablet?
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
what if we look at it from another angle - Blaine is known for his stupid stunts. What if this ties into that? Industry's first phone that can be used underwater? Or after spending an amount of time underwater?

This reminded me of a funny quote. "You don't reorganize village life to suit the village idiot."
[EVO 4G General] snowplow54:
My guess is they could announce a couple things. But i think maybe the big announcement is that now you can activate any CDMA phone on sprint's network would be a decent marketing ploy to undercut Verizon's iphone announcement. that would be both an industry first as well as "making the impossible, possible"
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
Did they officially announce the blackberry playback st ces?
[EVO 4G General] Blaqdymun:

[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Is there anything battery technology that could come out of this? Some super battery that lasts weeks on a single charge?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Considering that, from what a physicist suggested about battery technology and how it really can't improve too much more than it has, that would be turning the "impossible into possible"

I wish I could find the video, I'm looking. It's a video on a seminar where it's suggested that an Olympic pool worth of water could power the world.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Wow, lots of wild ideas getting kicked around here. I think we can safely make the following assumptions:

- Events are held, not to announce any type of changes in contracts, but for devices or significant network changes.

- No webOS-related stuff

- No iPhone related stuff. Steve Jobs does that himself (a 2nd U.S. carrier for the iPhone isn't as significant as a new model).

- No 3D displays.

This event is definitely for either a new device, or a significant new feature to their network, or a combo of that.

My hope: a dual-core Honeycomb superphone that can perform simultaneous voice + data, native Skype video calling, and some other bells and whistles. Now THAT would be an industry first. I think the event will announce several different things, as opposed to just one; perhaps an Android device roadmap? Whatever it is, I hope it's being made by HTC, I really like their stuff.

Just my two cents, feel free to pick it apart.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I agree with most of your saying and tend to lean to a network related feature.

As I suggested here, and why I suggested it, I don't believe it will be device related. [although I don't discount the possibility that it could have devices being announced as well]

You mean an industry first water proof phone like this one?: http://www.tic-tok.net/store/products.php?product=Casio-G%27zOne-Type-V-Verizon-Waterproof-Phone

Now if it was an android powered waterproof phone, then maybe that would fall under the category of industry first. Either way, I hope its not an announcement like that. I want something major like the EVO announcement last year.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Motorola already makes one - the defy.
[EVO 4G General] jm5503:
Its gonna be the HTC Scribe 4G Tablet people.....
[EVO 4G General] DrRyder:
Hey. Asshole. This is another one of those times where someone (you) tries to be a smart ass and fails hard at it. The date was February 7th. Your "LMGTFY" link said February 4th.

If you can't be a smart ass properly, go back to being a dumbass. At least you do that right.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
don't be too sure - remember, you're dealing with marketing-speak. I posted a link earlier in the thread on a samsung tablet with a slide out keyboard. A tablet that's also a netbook? Impossible. I don't think that's what it is anymore, but sprint can spin anything as making the impossible possible.

so much for that idea
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I love that idea and am really surprised we've yet to see one.
[EVO 4G General] :
That dude has FAIL written all over himself. He's going to have a rude awakening coming to him pretty soon.

Anyway I think the announcement is going probably be network related and also the announcement of a WebOS tablet.
[EVO 4G General] DrRyder:
Yeah. I just hate people that do that ****. Especially with **** like LMGTFY or a link to a thread search or something. Instead of tryin' be a smart ass, just give the link requested or if you have to be a smart ass, at least do it right.

I'm looking forward to this announcment. Changes to the rate plans would be good and, as nice as it would be to not have to be $20/month for 4G (2 phones), I'd rather just see a reduction in the rate plans or something.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
And it has built in wimax support too, which is why I thought thats what it was, but now I'm leaning towards a netwrok or android announcement.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yes cause I love swimming and checking facebook at the same time :p
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I would be content if they just get rid of the $10 multimedia rich fee. But I don't think that's happening.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
My name isn't HondaCop and I approve this message. I love it when people troll other people that are sperg the hell out about the internets. :D

Still thinking it's a service that'll tie all of your mobile devices to one plan. That seems the most reasonable leap forward, it's an industry first, and David Blaine can Mind Freak people by showing them two devices on one account. EVO 2 would be nice, but I don't know what could be "industry first" about it. iPhone 4G make sense because it'd be the first iPhone on 4G...but...there's no illusion (unless you're like..."LOOK! What appears to be a simple iPhone 4, is REALLY an iPhone 4 with 4G!!!! ZOMG!!!!). On top of that, it's still kind of a weak argument since it wouldn't be the first phone in general on 4G.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
If they do that, I just hope they don't enforce the 5GB bandwidth cap that 3G only users have. That'd bum me out.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Point taken, but it would be nice to not have to worry about getting my phone wet, plus the ability to take pics underwater would be pretty cool.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Yea, that would suck too. But on the other hand, it's unfair to those that don't have access to 4G and still have to pay the fee.
[EVO 4G General] Holyrolla:
Has there been any new 4G rollouts lately? I think this announcement will deal with the new tower tech someone linked to a page or two back, and then they will announce that they will be upgrading all towers in six months, adding WIMAX along the way, and therefore...NATIONWIDE WIMAX in six months!!!

Well...from someone not in a 4G town, it sure sounds good...
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
For real. If Sprint doesn't pull something outta their ass with this announcement, Verizon has them beat in my opinion. I want to believe Sprint has something good coming, but their history makes me believe otherwise... Hoping with my finger crossed!
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
I saw someone said that a waterproof android phone was already out. The Defy is not waterproof but water resistant.
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
They're saying its going to be an industry first, should know for sure what it is in a few days;). Waterproof android phone is not an industry first. CDMA iphone is not a first. Iphone 4g, CDMA ipad, first phone with a 3d-screen.... I'm leaning towards one of these, most likely the 3d one. We'll see.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
the more I think about it, the more I think it's going to be plan related. I'm now thinking it's going to be some sort of new data plan structure where you'll only have one charge to get unlimited data on all of your devices. Already have an Evo? Add a galaxy tab, or the new webos tablet that hp will be announcing at no additional (or minimal) monthy charge, and they'll all get unliimted data.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Yea, this sounds more logical over the few far fetched things some have posted here.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
Well it is far fetched. But if u think about it... att will have something similar as you can use the atrix as a phone, laptop, and desktop all with the same data connection and plan. This could be sprints way to compete.
[EVO 4G General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
So if sprint decided to do this would that mean wimax would be able to run at 800mhz?
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
800mhz is what sprint uses for Nextel, as long as they have Nextel customers(which I see quite a few businesses that use the radios and need to stay with a device that was built around that), that won't happen.
[EVO 4G General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I say they drop nextel so we can use wimax indoors lol
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
lol I agree

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I thought that WiMAX's frequency was so high because the FCC hasn't approved it for lower frequency use?
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
even if they did that your evo/epic wouldn't get it... i'm sure it would need different hardware. They're just combining the towers for cost-savings. Sprint isn't exactly the most profittable company out there.
[EVO 4G General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
True, I forgot about that
[EVO 4G General] chrishoyt09:
From what Ive been reading...my guess would be CDMA rev. B...data/voice ability...Evo is already ready for it...and theres been talks about rev b all over the net...
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
I don't think they can do that with their current towers
[EVO 4G General] Tyzing:
Dual Core 4G phone with NFC?

Nah...I think its a 4G tablet that makes calls

Ummm...nope...data/voice same time on 3G...that's their only saving grace with Wimax not being the future.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The EVO does not support SVDO (voice/data) at all and only partially supports Rev. B via the Snapdragon but lacks the transmitter. If it is about SVDO or EVDO Rev. B, it will require a new phone (I think there's a chance that Shift may have hardware support though...) which would explain the invitation of a bunch of Android sites.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
1X Advanced/SVDO/Rev. B are enhancements/upgrades; they'd be a heck of a lot easier than rolling out completely new WiMax towers.
[EVO 4G General] Tyzing:
Ok...my FINAL ANSWER is a 4G iPad. The timing is perfect.....VZ got the iPad around this time in 2010. iPad 2 will be coming out very soon...Apple is VERY tight lipped about products therefore it makes sense not to see leaks about a 4G version.

VZ got the iPad before they got the iPhone....I think Sprint will get the iPhone this year and this would be about the same distance in between as VZ had.

What do you guys think???
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I think it's something Apple would announce themselves.
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
There's no way it's anything Apple. Android sites would not be invited if it was.
[EVO 4G General] jkcpsal:
4g webos or wp7
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
With only 2% or less of marketshare, I don't think Sprint will make the same mistake it made with WebOS.

WebOS == Amiga 500

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] Tyzing:
Well, it was a VZ event that was held where they announced the iPhone...that is a bigger announcement and Apple wasnt even the host.

Your right about Android blogs being invited...that counts them out.
