It's a family consisting of a Honeycomb tablet and an Ice Cream Sandwich (or was it cone, I forget) dual core phone.

"But Google has barely speculated about Android "2.4" for phones" you say? Google has nearly instantaneously gotten better at keeping release information under wraps. You didn't think Steve Jobs actually needed surgery do you? He got bought by Google and is working undercover as a consultant.

Could be. the HTC 7 Pro is about due for market, perhaps they've Wimaxed it.

I'm expecting a new flagship (like a tegra2 1080p EVO), but will probably be disappointed.
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
hmmm..maybe they can bring out the magician and tell people "if you only have one line and don't meet the monthly cost, watch your yearly upgrades...poof...disappear because you are now in the Sprint Premier SILVER program!!!" {claps from stock holders}.

Serious though, I think some writing is on the wall. $10 data cost for everyone. Android invited to the event. LTE on Sprint towers. Maybe it's an enhance 3G network that gets 4G speeds AND a Google app to bring video calls to all or full time data-voice?
[EVO 4G General] aggie6600:
The "industry first" anoucement will be that they setup a vague press conference with three weeks notice to generate speculation and ideas on XDA. They will then take the industry first ideas from XDA and develop upon them.

We've all been suckered into working for Sprint's product development team.

Just got done talking with Shelly G in chat and got some inside information on what will be announced...that sprint hates having customers and is now raising my bill by a total of $60 a month if I go ahead and replace my moments with any other 3g or 4g smartphone. At least with 4g I can pretend Im the only one who can get super fast 1mbps download speeds in west cleveland.
[EVO 4G General] ksizzle9:
I as a long time Vzw customer love hearing all this talk about LTE. because it send that when someone from from sprint talks about Verizon's 4g all I hear is hone much better sprint is. But then u hear something new might be released. And I read through 50+ pages each with at least one post about Lte? If it sucks then why do you want it so bad? That's what I thought. Jealousy. Verizon is, and always will be, the best, big red, or in sprints case "Papi" or "daddy" and its about time they release something new. They have rode the **** out of the EVO wave. But for the sake of people who use sprint, I do hope its something good. It will only make industry standards go up. Excited to see what this is.

Actually Verizons first LTE phone, the Thunderbolt is dropping THIS month. I expect Best Buy to open up pre-orders soon. I'm watching and waiting for when they do.
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Droid Bionic is better, but nothing seeing htc when it comes to development. The Thunderbolt is a good phone, but the battery life is horrible, and the coverage is not everywhere. This is going to be a problem for every 4G device going forward, unless they design slimmer batteries packing at least 2000mah.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
The coverage is here... unlike wimax. Which is pretty much why im switching. Plus the evo's battery life was pretty terrible also until I got one of the SBC kernels. It was only then that I didnt have to worry about having a charger at home, in the car, and at the office.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
do you have a thunderbolt? how do you know battery sucks?

I thought the new scorpion cpu would help battery life a lot.....:confused:
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
I'm currently in a LTE lit market, and while the speeds are sick, the coverage isn't really there. This is first generation LTE, so that is expected. @Dan: I'm currently testing it for Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
cool.. so then the battery issue.. is because it is constantly reconnectiong with LTE or looking for it?

but if you turn off the LTE radio.. using 3G.. it should be great battery life.. right?

My vote is for feb 7th announcement is going to be http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Optimus-3D-is-officially-confirmed-to-come-at-MWC_id16355
[EVO 4G General] madgreek80:
quotas go like this (new line, upgrade, accessories, and csat..csat is the biggest problem, as in a customer can screw u without even knowing it) u have to sell so many new lines, upgradeds and acc plus hit a good csat number to hit quota, if u go over more money is applied, but, if u fall short more money is taking out of ur $1100. sorry to say i live in a college town where people are smart and buy items online and through bestbuy just because they are cheaper for the same product and service. also are commission checks are taxed 38%. So not hitting your quota in a sprint store as a rep sucks, so like i said before, this #$%@ING annocement better be something good or else once again the bottom of the barrell (store reps) will suffer....

I think they are going to announce nationwide 4g to all major markets. Last year Dec a rep told me that all their major markets will have 4g end of Jan or Feb....If you have sensorly maps check it out....you'll find a lot of one hit 4g marks in cities that didnt have them.....just my .02
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Just thought it was a good time to remind everyone that they have sent the invitation to Android developers ONLY; meaning that it is obviously going to be Android-based. Also, it is supposed to be an "industry-first" product, meaning that 90% of what has been mentioned here can be thrown out.

The most valid guess is a 3D-display phone. LG and HTC have confirmed one for pre-summer release (which match the announcement's date well). Both would be sporting Android. And finally, 3D-displays have not been confirmed for any other carrier yet, meaning Sprint would have the right to call it "industry first".

There! Close this and the other 50 repetitive threads now please.

Guys, I just came from my friend's house and he was adamant that a 4G iPhone will be announced on Feb 7, 2011. For some reason, he has always said the truth about these things. I think it has to do with what he does for a living.

Honestly though, this is probably the best kept secret sprint has ever held on to. They've always spilled the beans over somewhere. So either they're bringing out a new mify and no one cares, or its such an awesome product they decided to let only a select few know. Either way, no one yet knows what all the fuss is about.

[EVO 4G General] alewifebp:
Given that they are saying this is a "FIRST", it can't be the iPhone, and it can't be the LG 3D phone, since that was just announced for T-Mobile. Nor can it be the Playbook, since that has already been announced that it is coming to Sprint.

My guesses are a WebOS tablet, 4G WebOS phone, or a 4G Gingerbread phone, AKA the EVO 2 (whether that is the name or if or is even by HTC I'm not going to guess).

[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Hey its all good bud. Always good to have the ppl sharing that info. Only reason I second gueased it was the 2.5 part as that matches up with what people were speculating last yr and now we all know gingerbread is 2.3.

Wasnt trying to be an ass if it came off that way at all btw.

[EVO 4G General] nsxla:
But what is the industry first announcement?
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
No real offense meant, but to everyone who keeps posting "my sales rep said....", I highly doubt if nobody on a forum like this knows, that your sales rep knows.

If you sales rep swears its an iPhone? or a blackberry? You can take that as a sign that (unless hell freezes over and Sprint rolls out the red carpet over those things) he probably doesn't know what he's talking about. Most sales reps can't tell you basic information about your phone, let alone top secret things like this.

So let it go.

I don't have a clue what this is going to be but it better some hot stuff or Sprint is just going to end up sucking wind again. They made some impressive strides forward with the Evo and WiMax, but it isn't like the other three carriers were sitting on their hands either. There are some sweet phones hitting the market in the next couple of weeks and right now none of them are coming to Sprint. The last device they released was just a slimmed down Evo with a physical keyboard. :( I'm just hoping we don't get left out in the cold as far as the nicest phones go.

[EVO 4G General] LennyBreaks:
I don't think that it is completely out of the question for sprint to get Iphone. Especially being that Verizon is a CDMA network. Also i don't think they have an exclusive deal.

Yep, but add a couple million iPhone users, and regardless of which OS uses more data, it's still that much less bandwidth to go around. I'm very happy with the unlimited data plan, and would hate to see it become one of the other carriers unlimited, but with a fair use cap of 2-5 GB (even though I don't often go over 2, let alone 5).
[EVO 4G General] DGreen1:
I hope they will be making a huge announcement as well. A lot of people may be upset that Sprint didn't present anything special at CES but...... It is most likely a very clever way to get everyone's attention.

If you think about it, so many cool devices get presented at CES that Sprint showing off any goodies would simply share the spotlight with every other manufacturer and carrier. By the time they host there own event, all the hype about what everyone else is doing will hopefully have died down giving Sprint the stage for people to talk about.

Quite brilliant if you ask me.
[EVO 4G General] jimbobcooterrooter:
i have to disagree with everything posted.....looking at sprint's "announcement" and industry first record here is what you see:

simply everything plan

anymobile anytime

sprint guarantee

I’m guessing something to do with contract terms......maybe a disappearing contract? or possibly 1yr contracts.

IDK but i am fairly confident that this will not be a hardware announcement unless they are just ***** slapping Verizon in the face with a WiMax iPhone.

It took me 5 pages for someone to FINALLY have mentioned the Scribe. I can't believe more people don't think it's this. That was my initial guess. My other guess is a webOS tablet or phone. But I'm hoping it's the Scribe because I want to know what the hell it's made of!

Who really needs a 7-inch tablet when you can get a 9-inch iPad?

You may be willing to give away money for something that requires a new contract and a new line of service in addition to your current.
