They will announce that they have shut down Nextel and recycled their 800Mhz spectrum for a new round of dual mode LTE/Wimax due to be completed nationwide April 2nd. Just in time for a new dual core HTC phone with a 4.5" screen, 1024x768 resolution sLCD, 1GB DDR2 RAM, an unlocked bootloader, a PDMI docking port, and that dual boots Ubuntu/Meego with Android 3.0.

They are going to try and explain why Silver Premier is not including a one year update anymore, the $10 premium for the EVO, and the new $10 charge for all smartphones. The trick is how to explain the "mass exodus" of customers.

I changed from a cheaper plan to get the one year upgrade with a Silver premier account and did not get to keep it for a year.

I think it will be the iPhone5(a 4g version) that will be released later this year. The announcement comes 3 days before the iPhone4 release on Verizon. What a better way to draw some people Sprint's way before they decide to sign a 2 year agreement with Verizon. There might be a new Android announcement as well, and I hope there is.

First off, the 10 bucks isn't for 4g, and second, Sprint is going to begin charging everyone that has a smartphone the 10 premium internet fee starting in April. When I was at the Sprint store yesterday they were explaining the new internet pricing policy to a customer. So all smartphones regardless if they are 4g will be paying the $10 after April.

Been hearing the same thing about it being a 3d android and since "EVO" is now a brand for Sprint it might be something called the HTC Evo 3D probably with a dual core snapdragon and 8 gig internal memory to go along with a 32 gig memory card and a 4.3 in screen. But knowing Sprint it's never just a one item announcement. Been hearing that the nexus S is coming too guess we are all sitting around and waiting...

hboot 2.10

I have been following the instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

but at step 10 when i am suppose to get the red triangle I get the HTC screen. So i pulled the batter after a little while, turn my phone on with volume down. selected recovery and the it went to htc and flashed the red triangle for a second before rebooting. The funny thing is that is booted up and I have a working phone.

What do i need to do right now?

Should I try to go back to recovery and finish out the install?

any help would be appreciated.

Hm well what are my options:

Big Red: The iPhone (metaphor for popular, expensive and useless) of the mobile service provider industry is actually getting an iPhone (the popular, expensive and useless phone from wence the metaphor came). They're still big, popular, expensive and useless. Can't go there, next...

AT&T: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, omg *wipes tears from eyes*, haha yea right...next.

T-Mobile: Is the down syndrome-stricken child of the service provider world. They have okay phones, okay service but I haven't talked to a customer service rep yet who wasn't on their 2nd day of English-As-A-Second-Language classes yet and they have no resiliancy. I told one of them that they aren't American so they have no soul. She broke down and cried on the phone. For real, I was just angry, angry at their terrible, scripted, idiot customer service.

If I had to go anywhere it'd be back to T-Mobile, at least they have an unlimited text AND unlimited data plan that doesn't throttle you after 1 or 2GB of usage. I just need to make sure that I NEVER need customer service again. Prepare for your call to be routed to India.

I got rid of AT&T and won't be going back. I'll stick with Sprint.

[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Oo yeah I forgot to mention that AT&T is going to discontinue activation of customer owned equipment at no contract. You won't be able to activate a phone that you own with no contract. They are basically going to force people to be on contracts.
[EVO 4G General] 4redstars:
I'm probably jumping to Verizon so my wife can get an Iphone later in the year. We have three lines and one doesn't use data so that will make things actually cheaper for us because my wife has a discount through Verizon (I currently have one on SPrint)

The other thing that interests me is the Unlimited Data only plans through Tmobile. They are only 50 dollars a month and I'm wondering how good calls through Google Voice would be...if the quality isn't that bad I could just use that (since they now let you port your number to them)
[EVO 4G General] mroneeyedboh:
Oh **** yeah very good idea.. using tmobiles VOIP... Interesting.

I luckily get a 25 or 27% discount thru sprint. I cannot remember which one it is. Gotta love job discounts.
[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I have been with Sprint for 10 years. I am ready to purchase a 4G device. It is between the Evo4g on Sprint & the myPhone 4G with T-Mobile. Based on the device, and reception/coverage area will dictate which carrier I go to. The price point is basically the same. About $10 per month more with Sprint.

T-Mobile is an unknown regarding coverage and Sprint is a known.

I had 2 lines on a Free & Clear, but to switch to a 4g, I would lose that plan, and I would have to drop the 2nd line as no plan available by Sprint for 2 lines is cost effective for me. Neither is one available from T-mobile.

After 10 years, I really have no allegiance to Sprint as Allegiance with any Company these days is non existent, for me anyway, and from them to me, and others for that fact.

BUT I have read that T-Mobile may be locking their devices regarding tethering, as they are charging $!4.99/mo as of now, and may lock the devices for free tethering. I don't tether often, but I would like the option to do so.

Sprint charges the $10 surcharge for the privilege.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Doesnt really matter to me, only thing im waiting to see is if Verizon is going to put a data cap on their LTE for their smartphones. If they dont im ghost.
[EVO 4G General] mroneeyedboh:
Why brah? Sprint doesnt... Or are you chasing the new phones merely.
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
I'd assume this is because LTE is faster and from what I gather has a more promising future.. probably coverage expansion will be better, etc.

Wouldn't count on avoiding a cap though, and F if i'm going to pay what vzw wants for "unlimited" as compared to sprint.

Where I work and spend a huge chunk of my life these days, I get full 4G and use it to tether all my computers, more than fast enough for what I need, and I think staying with this contract will be smart over time. As long as all these companies continue their greedy practices, the value of the plan I'm on will continue to get better IMO.

When I'm month to month in a year and a half paying what I'm paying now for unlimited, I bet I won't want to switch. I'm not that concerned about getting a new phone.. I tend to hold onto my phones for a pretty long time anyway. With the dev support the EVO has (and considering it does everything I want & more anyway) I think I can get a lot of mileage out of my current situation. If I really decide I NEED a new phone somewhere down the line, I'll buy it outright and stick with what will be a cheap plan at that point

[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I can give you quite a few reasons....ill start here.

1) This is the data speed that I get in my house... and im within a half mile to a mile of 2 Sprint towers. There was a point that I could get 2 megs down but over the past 6 months its gotten worse and worse it seems everyday. The main reason I even got the Evo was to use the hotspot feature which is pretty useless to me now.

2) I get about 2.5 megs down with Verizon 3G in my house. And as of right now they still offer unlimited data plans.

3) I get no Wimax reception in my house at all. Before I moved I was right across from a tower and could get 8 megs on average down. Crazy part about it? I only moved about a quarter of a mile up the road from where I used to live.

4) I had the opportunity to try out LTE at my house. I was getting 10-12 megs down INSIDE of my bathroom with the door closed. And that was only with 3 bars of reception on the data card.

5) 80% of my friends and family use Verizon anyways.. plus with my plan on Sprint I rarely even talk on the phone. I use in general about 150-200 minutes a month. Most of my usage comes from text, email and data.

6) Better phone selection. Enough said.

I dont know if its because so many more people in the area are using Sprint now or what but their data speeds just arent suiting my needs anymore. You know how painful it is to even try to look at a youtube video with the speed I posted above? Pure torture.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Not enough of my day is in the bathroom to worry about data speed.

[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Well, your 3G speeds are better than mine! And 4G isn't available around here.

There's no IF about it for me, my wife and I are taking our business elsewhere as soon as the contract's up in November, maybe sooner. (Thank god we bought our EVOs outright.) Right now T-Mobile looks like the front-runner since their speeds and coverage are pretty damn good in our area now and the monthly cost would be almost identical to what we're paying now.
