Regarding the article, I think that's exactly what it's gotta be. Pretty bummed because one it's gonna be like $400 probably and 2 why the hell do I need a 3D phone...?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I doubt it's going to be much more than any other new phone, after a 2 year agreement of course.

The "need" is arguable but the fact is we are moving towards 3D screens on everything.

It's going to happen.
[EVO 4G General] iSaint:
Hmmm Would this "3D" work with porn while im "on the go"

[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
This seems like the most plausible explanation yet. From what I am getting out of that, we should be seeing a high-end smartphone (most likely Android) with PTT capability over Sprint's CDMA network instead of the Nextel / iDEN network. This device will most likely also have 4G and possibly be capable of simultaneous voice and data over CDMA.

This would definitely be an industry first.

[EVO 4G General] navoid:
With David Blaine there, you can all but guarantee its going to be something very underwhelming. Probably something about their 4g network being in lots of markets or some other puff piece PR thing.

I doubt they are going to announce a new phone of any substance.

Almost all the big phone makers like Motorola, Samsung and otherwise made announcements at CES.

Blackberry's Playbook might have made a good announcement for this type of event but they already showed it. So I doubt anything else up their sleeve.

Maybe a new tablet thing is possible, but I doubt any company wants to invest in Wimax, since people haven't exactly been wowed by it so far after 6 months.

[EVO 4G General] Artanis:
I just thought of something... If they combine 4G and LTE it'll be more significant to pur pockets.

Those bastards at sprint could easily charge ... say $20 for the use of "the Idustries First Nationwide Dual 4G Network"

Instead of just $10 for the industries first battery demolecularizing network.

They announced the Evo at WMC last year, not CES so this is in line with that.

My bet is a tablet with the ability to make calls and it will be available on $70 plan that includes unlimited minutes and data. That would be an "industry first".
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no there has been rumors for years that those companies will merge. neither company is doing outstanding.

i still say it will be a network change then hp will annouce a new high end webos device a few days later that will use it. im still hoping for a plan change so i can get out of my etf's.

went to tmobile last night and they have some awesome android phones.
[EVO 4G General] madgreek80:
ladies and gentlemen they said it would be an industry first....iphone has been done, windows 7 done, dual core processor done.....also they sent out alot off invites to android only operators, so what i was thinking is that maybe they would come out with a dual core android 3D device!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Because although we KNOW the technology exists, it has not been released.

It also goes with the "impossible to possible" theme.

[EVO 4G General] boliviano3:
Actually that's wrong, the Evo was announced last year at CTIA.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
also considering that MS announced that the first wp7 phones would be released in the beginning of 2011, im 99.0% sure that this will be a wp7 phone with some added features. Hopefully dual core, 4.3 inch, etc..
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
But how does that fit in with "making the impossible, possible" ?

I don't doubt that Sprint will get a WM7 phone, we know it will happen.

I don't doubt it will get a WebOS device, it probably will happen.

I don't doubt it will get an iPhone, there's no reason for it not to happen.

I don't doubt that the some sort of "Evo 2" will be released, it would be stupid for it not to happen.

I DO suggest that every one of those things do NOT fit into "making the impossible possible" and I DO suggest that the first 3D phone DOES.
[EVO 4G General] anthony67:
Ya...and I knew that....I think I have MWC on the brain....
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
3d phones aren't really impossible. Televisions have had it for a long time, and the concept of 3d without glasses has also been around for a long time.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Maybe but... how many people know that glasses-less 3D displays exist?

My guess is, if you're not a techy, it's likely not to be known.

The idea of a glasses-less 3D phone just...yeah

It just fits all too well.

Small excerpt from Android Centrals hands on review of the EVO Shift: "But here's the really cool thing Sprint told us -- it's time to stop thinking as the Evo 4G as just a phone, and the Shift as a follow-up. They're just the start of the Evo line. More phones are coming (and fairly soon, it sounded)."...

Folks, I think the announcement will have something to do with the EVO 2 perhaps? That would be AWESOME!

You didn't know that the EVO would be a line? You're going to see numerous EVO's, the way you see Droid's with Verizon.

I can't talk publicly about any rumored device for the carriers, but think carefully. You're going to announce a successor before a major event? People are reaching in here. The only way Sprint announces the WP7 phone, is if they are planning on releasing numerous devices in this event. Android will have a presence in this event.

Which was bull**** to me. I gave the Shift to my friend who needed a phone badly, free of charge. 3.7" screen became 3.6", which I still don't understand. The test device was 3.7", not 6". Anyway, that device really doesn't mean much, but they are going to come out with a line of EVO's. Droid 2 is the Droid with a few upgraded specs, much like the BlackBerry Storm to the Storm 2.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Unless Sprint announces a device(s) within the next 6 weeks...in line with the next generation of phones announced at CES (Dual core, advancement in processors etc ie: Evo2!..), then it'll be the end of the line with me and Sprint, as well as anyone else with Sprint versed in the state-of-the-art of this industry.

I dont agree. If that was the case they would have shut down any hint of people having wishful thinking it'll come to Sprint by saying "Obviously the iPhone is already released on another carrier so that means its a non-exclusive deal" rather than being vague and making it sound like the CDMA iPhone is non-exclusive
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Verizon agreed to Apple's terms. Apple is not doing the exclusive route, and from a business standpoint, I don't blame them (Shout out to Samsung) That company is going to break records all across the board, especially if the Far East and other US carriers successfully work out a deal to carry their phone and tablets. LTE iPhone won't be exclusive to just Verizon, no way in hell. iPhone 5, either.

[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
money rules all but iphone is not good for the carriers, as apple is a pain in the ass and has no problems blaming the carrier. Sprint has dusted itself off recently using android as the foundation, if they were smart and the way the mobile space is going, they should stick with android and not bring iphone to sprint. They have already proven you don't need the iphone to get new customers to sign up for your service, good pricing on plans and exciting new android phones work just fine, just my two cents. i am sure from a business standpoint there is probably good reason to entertain the iphone on sprint though

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The EVO isn't a bad phone but it was one of the last Android phones to use the aging first gen Snapdragon. If there was a EVO that swapped out that chip with even just the single core 2nd gen Scorpion chips, I'd be cool for a while. I just want a more capable GPU. I'm not sure why others feel that way but that's my reason.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Yes I agree about the GPU. What I would liked to see in the EVO, when it came out, is a the same CPU/GPU thats in the Epic 4g.

Even with the "aging" Snapdragon, its still a great device.
[EVO 4G General] Tyzing:
I agree, the GPU is outdated, heck...it was a little old when the EVO was released...but if your running AOSP (I'm on MIUI) then you'll never notice a thing. I do play with some of my friends that are running stock and feel sorry for them...that's when everything is exposed....I wouldnt last 2 days with a stock EVO

Considering that any "new" Apple devices would be announced by Apple themselves...I'm talking iPhone5 or any type of 4G iPhone. Don't see any "new" Android device that can be launched since the Shift just released...and Sprint is still riding hard on their flagship android phone (the EVO!!)

I think some new phones will be announced but I think the "impossible is now possible" will have something to do with their network. I have heard many complaints about sprints network over the last 3 to 5 months and I myself have experience crap 3g performance recently after years of solid ev-do performance. I really do believe that the reason for the inconsistent service is that sprint have been doing some network upgrades and may announce that its now possible to have data and voice at the same time on a cdma network which is truly a first. I think they will then announce that all new phones released this year will be capable of doing data and voice.

Edit: I would be very dissappointed if its a 3d phone though, its not like 3d tech is flying off the shelves at the moment or anytime soon.

[EVO 4G General] John Kotches:
Sprint's reasoning for the charge is that smartphones in general use more data than other phones. They would be recouping some of the costs to support them with the $10 charge.

It doesn't affect me, I have an evo.

Realistically speaking on new phone contracts/purchases which is what we are talking about, the bulk of the smartphone purchases will be 4g capable.

Perhaps I'm not furious because I already have the charge.
