It all started with the awesome EVO 4G, and now the next best phone for 2011, the EVO-3D. Sprint is on a roll here. Move over T-Mobile, Sprint has just taken the crown for the #1 Android supported carrier. As of this Summer, Sprint is taking the cake for the best Android devices, only T-Mobile has the second best choices, and Verizon has sh!t, and ATT, lol, no.
For high end Android devices, Sprint has;
- EVO 4G
- Epic 4G
- Nexus-S 4G
- EVO-3D ( June 24th )
- Photon 4G ( July / August )
- Galaxy S 2 ( August )
- Nexus-Three with quad core ( December )
And several other lower end Androids as well, I did not list.
Also Sprint is getting the iPhone4S;
EEEwwwww @ the iPhone 4S
The nexus 3 quad core
Lol they don't even have it in a tablet yet.... Well their still testing in tablets...

But I will admit its a smart move on Sprints behalf because they will be attracting more customers. It'll help them. But I still could care less about it.

Yes, lots of new android noobs but, AWESOME SELECTION OF PHONES!!! EFFE YEAH Sprint!!! Sprint 4 Life!!
Is iPhone really confirmed for Sprint? My wife would like that (rolling my eyes)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but more Android noobs means Apple just lost part of their Nazi Borg Collective.
.. Meaning they would not assemilate! This is great news! Apple is the worst thing to happen to America since Beavis and Butthead.

Well with AT&T and Verizon having the iPhone and T-Mobile likely being gobbled up by AT&T, Sprint probably felt that the only way to survive was to ally with Google. They started the Google Voice/Sprint Voicemail integration and come the end of summer will have quite a stable of Android superphones. Combine that with their constantly improving customer service and best pricing, things are looking up for #3.

Not just HTC, but the device itself. If more people own the E3D there will be a higher demand for more developers to make 3D content (movies, games, and so forth), as well as a higher demand for 3D devices in the future (Next gen. EVO with quadcore processor, 3D once again, more RAM, ROM and so forth ).

I would take this with a grain of salt. I can't see Sprint allowing this to happen. This is going to be like an AndroidCentral article "Update...Looks like we were wrong" We left out a small detail etc etc blah blah.

I owned the nexus 4g for about 3 months and decided to upgrade one of my lines on the family plan (Family hand me down program hehehe)
I agree with newalkwer, I would not go back. I know you read about the screendoor effect, but let me tell you, yes, you will see it, BUT only if you really look for it. Otherwise, its a great phone so far and I will not look into returning it anytime soon. Sound quality is great and unlike the nexus 4g, the speaker volume on the Photon is LOUD! Let's me sneak in a couple movies in the data center with the servers humming away hehehehe.
Also, when i first looked at the nexus screen, I was wow, the display and the colors were great. But now that i think about it, It does look over saturated.
Well, to each his own, but these are my opinions on what i have seen so far.

You heard? Show some proof. I highly doubt that will be the case. This phone is off the hook and being unlocked and rooted now its only a matter of time before we get some sick kernels and ROMs. This phone rocks and I knew it would awhile back, no one believed me. Owell
If they are such a high sell rate why don't you buy one of CL then??

My roommate works at a corporate sprint store and he just mentioned tonight that they have sold about 30 photons and have had only 1 return, and that was just because the person didnt have coverage in their area and decided to go with att.. though the customer liked the photon so much my roomy told him of the atrix (with the updates the atrix performance wise is pretty close now besides the obvious upgrades of mopho). So thats b.s. about the high return rate. If anything the nexus s 4G is higher because of the obvious network issues stock (though update should have fixed this). Either way look on ebay, if u think u can get a even trade then why not sell on ebay and just use paypal to buy a photon on ebay as well...

My Daughter has the Nexus S and I just got the Photon yesterday and there is NO WAY I would take her Nexus S. WHile the Nexus S is a very nice phone, to me it's not as good as the Photon ( I am coming from the OG EVO) which the Photon puts to shame. The Photon is being compared to the SGS2. It's Crazy Fast and has ALOT of things that it did right. Downloaded Netflix and watched The Thing and it looked Amazing. I don't know why I hear people *****ing about the screen, it looks Incredible to me. Photon>>Nexux S. Plus with Google buying Motorola Mobility, I can only see this as a Win/Win
Guys, I'm in a bind!!! I can't decide between the Photon or the HTC Sensation... I know this is the Photon Forums and thus the bias is going to be towards the Photon, but can someone make a good argument as to why I should go with the Photon instead of the Sensation?
I will be heading out to the store to buy ONE OF THEM but I just need that extra push towards one of them!
Thanks in advanced.
PS. Also take into account the carrier. In other words, taking into account the phone AND carrier, which one is the best overall guy?
Photon hands down sprint has better coverage in buildings but T-Mobile data is faster but u get capped on T-Mobile, Sprint is unlimited. Photon processor is better then sensation and da 3d which is actually clocked at 1.2ghz, battery lasts longer on the photon, plus moto down wit google i kno dat locked bootloader nonsense is ova wit, photon has better voice quality and sound.

lol, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time
My ex old lady used to always say she thought I was psychic afterall, or was it psycho.. don't remember
I've been having problems with my OG Evo for like a month now. I didn't know about the charge dock problems even though I'm always here flashing new roms. I was anxiously waiting for the new one and then all of this happened. For a while, I was seriously considering cancelling my order but then I realized that that would be a win for Apple and I could not contribute to their gain. I decided to wait patiently for my phone.
In terms of the patent I think its BS, and this is coming from a software engineer. I don't want to go deep into that discussion but working with code is a whole different ballgame.
In terms of the whole GS3 vs. EvoLTE vs. iPhone5 thing, I think both the GS3 and the EvoLTE are good phones. I don't know much about the iphone5 specs yet. What I can say is that apple products are not that unarguably better overall for them to have so much money and crazy fanboys right now.
The best apple product was the iPod by far. It revolutionized the industry. Everything else from there has come off branding. You can argue about the OG iPhone and iPad being nice too but that feels like a century ago. Like I said, everything else is marketing. Its funny people buying expensive macs just to log in to facebook and serious customers run parallel half of the time to use windows programs.
Right now, we have competition and we have android developers working their a** off to get a small share of the pie and that's why I can't cancel my order. After I read this, I was shocked by how this blind fanaticism is hurting the industry around the world. I don't wanna be a part of that. Like I said, some Apple products are great, but they are not unarguably so ahead of the curve for them to be squashing everyone that easy. My two cents...

There is usually a product cycle to the big contender phones. Just like every summer, a new EVO is released. You'll find other phones released between these times. But, you never know. They're already developing superphones that are faster than the EVO 4G LTE.
There might be a new Nexus phone announced at Google I/O next week. iPhone 5 in the fall, and probably another round of Android superphones for the holiday season, probably once Samsung/TI/Nvidia launch an LTE baseband that will work with their SoCs.
Well the latest rumors are that Jellybean will be released next week at Google I/O. You can get the new S3 or EVO but if you plan to see Android 4.1 on it anytime soon you are probably in for disappointment. I'd get a Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus line which should have similar hardware to the latest super phones.

Cool thanks for the responses. Good discussion.
I am anxious to see the new gnex, but I'm thinking it wont have a large enough screen (even tho the specs will be good enough). Other words, I don't think it will be "better" than the S3 per se, other than getting jellybean/pure android...but never know....
Lastly, the responses to this are actually "grown up" for once - you guys were spot on. Thing is, I was expecting much worse reactions as the question could have drawn out all types of trolls.
Hopefully XDA has turned a corner recently...thanks again.
How about the new WP8 phones that are going to come out around October I think. Huge update to the software from what I have read, multiple core, multiple screen res and size support. I would be very interested to see a Nokia WP8 mobile with their 41mp camera, and Nokia maps. That would be pretty amazing. I am itching to see what comes out.

Unfortunately for Sprint, slow data is the only reason I'm leaving...otherwise I'd consider the EVO LTE more seriously.
Waiting for the sequel to the Rezound on Verizon, then I'm leaving Sprint. I'm assuming this will be released around Nov/Dec. It will likely be based on the One XXL, if it ever comes out.

I have a feeling now that google has their hands on motorola, that they will eventually have a pretty sweet release....more then likely a Nexus. I have a feeling that it'll not be locked down the way it has in the past. Google knows what Android junkies want, and they'd be kinda stupid to not use motorola ideally the way they should. Hopefully it makes it to sprint. Main reason I'm hoping for this is purely for the fact Motorola and Google are AMERICAN companies.

I'm going to sound like a troll but I had my photon from day one to last Friday and loved it so much! Not one negative thing especially with CM9 but was getting bored with android having done literally everything you can think of so I switched to iPhone 4 and while I still love android this phone is really nice and I love apps, idk it just works
Well thats comparing an official company released rom vs an unofficial community made rom without proper driver support so I hardly think that's fair. I'm sure i'd be just as happy if i went from the photon to the gnex or someother phone with jb which "just works"
That said, I'm happy you're enjoying your new phone but dont really understand the reason behind opening this thread.

If you can't or don't want to change/hack/tweak your phone then of course it's going to "just work" if set up correctly by the manufacturer or developer. To paraphrase Woz, if you don't want to think about your phone, just don't care about full potential or tech scares/confuses you then the iPhone is great.
To me the iPhone nothing more than a really expensive "feature phone" which I find way to limiting. (And yes I do own one but never use it for that very reason)

i always tell people to pick wp7 over IOS if they want a less "hard" phone, its just as simple but isnt as stupid
in fact only reasoni havent picked up a wp is cuz there isnt crap on sprint :/
Well right I figured I have 9 months left on contract so I'll try something different, and will be going back to android and I always end up in arguments with people explaining why to go android or why they should get it vs iOS and I think to be fair I need to try other side of the rainbow

I have an iPhone on AT&T... I hate it with a burning passion compared to any of the Android phones I have.
Yeah I really miss Android IOS is just so outdated I plan on picking up next nexus
read that Iphone 5 will be available for sprint. I am curious what the sprint model's specs are.
Much like the photon, a sprint iphone 4s can be GSM unlocked so that it will work with other US GSM carriers. It would be great if the Iphone 5 for sprint offers GSM and LTE.

Because iPhone isn't customizable. Cool different folder names and wallpapers. But so what. I like having different launchers and features. Even if it does mean not having 4g most of the time. iOS is just boring over all and too restricting. That's why android is Better.

The IPhone 5 supports 4G LTE
I think I'll revisit Apple soon after finding that out...

IPhones never supported 4G LTE until now. I think they never even had 4G? Least my friends that have an IPhone 4s never got 4G coverage in our area, and we live less than a mile apart.

I'm just messing with you.
iphone 5
according to this article Sprint's iphone 5 model is A1429, will have CDMA US support, and GSM world capability via SIM. It will support LTE bands 2100/1800/800/700c//1900Mhz.
It wont support Tmobils LTE band. The same phone will be sold in Japan to KDDI.
I wonder if there will be a way to unlock Sprint's iphone5 to use GSM in the US as well.
With 4s you could
