Looks like Sprint may be pulling a fast one. Up until yesterday I have been seeing the new evo's are shipping with an 8GB class 4 micro SD Card. Well I saw in the manual it says 2GB. I stopped by Best Buy and checked out their live demo unit and it also had a 2GB SD Card. Seems like Sprint might be getting cheep on us and put 2GB Chips in them. Just be aware when you go buy the phone. On their site it no longer says 8GB sd card. But I have a feeling there will be a lot of upset people out there. I would be one of them, even if I had planned to buy a 16GB class10, because I still wanted to have the 8GB as back up.
Not to be a ****, but, If you're going to buy a $500~700 phone I don't see why a $12 SDcard is such an ordeal...sure...sucks...free stuff is always better...but...c'mon....put the pitchfork away and save it for day 25 of crypto-signed bootloarders.....
good lookin out Slay......ill be sure to check it out tomorrow

If you are told you are going to get something....then you are not going to get it......then tell your customers why....don't just take **** away.
Either way I don't have a pitch fork out....I am just making people aware.....I really could care less myself. Its just all about predicable. I already have the SD card I want for it. Just looking out for others....to some $12.00 is a lot.
I planned on using the 16gig class 10 i have on my Evo 4G anyway. But thanks for the info.. maybe we can get something out of it hehe....

Sorry, if I buy a a $500-700 phone, and plan on spending more money on accessories, I better get what was promised...
I noticed that (and was concerned about it) in the manual too. Thanks for the heads up!

Agreed.
Though, I'm hardly shocked. This has been such a bumpy road so far...with us, the early adopters--the ones willing to pay a premium to beta test, essentially--have been dicked over the hardest.
But I'm serious, keep that pitchfork handy...if I can't get sense off of this phone and put a proper AOSP on it, I don't want it....I don't care how fast it is. Besides, I hate being lied to....keep that pitchfork handy.
...but, I would be completely shocked if they used 2gb cards....they would have to be leftovers cuz I'd bet that manufacturing capacity has switched over to 8gb being the low-end....I bought my first 4gb MicroSD almost 4 years ago...everything comes with 8gb....which costs $12, so they probably costs somewhere in the order of $5 to make, if that. They only reason they would use 2gb would be to dump them...clear their inventory...and I doubt they would do that on Sprint's flagship device...I doubt Sprint would let them use a 2008 average capacity card on a 2011 flagship device. Hopefully I'm right...I was hoping to have one more 8gb card floating around.
It's no way it's a 2gig card. The free movie and game would take up half of the space.
straight from best buy's website
"4GB internal memory Allows you to store media. Memory card slot supports microSD cards up to 32GB (card not included)."

yeah if im paying 500-700 for a phone then i think they should be giving me a 32gb one like the thunderbolt got cause i know it doesnt cost them **** to produce them.
Was it ever posted on Sprints or HTCs site that it was coming with an 8GB? If not, I don't see how they would technically be "pulling a fast one".

Oh trust me I have a very large pitch fork lol. I am almost sure this thing will get rooted pretty fast. Even if the bootloader comes encrypted they will unlock it for us. We already used pitch forks to make sure of that!!!

I know not HTC.....but it did on Sprints at one time.....seems like we need to start print screening the specs.....or they should at least let us know why......I mean even their own reps on cam state you will be able to shoot 2D 1080 resolution and now that's not happening. And now this?
Slayer did you check if the movie and Spiderman game were on it. The Green Hornet is 1.8gb file. Maybe the demo versions for stores dont have them and sent them a little 2gb sd card.
When I bought my EVO it came with an 8 gig, so you better believe I'm expecting nothing less than what was advertised. No pitch fork needed, if you don't want sense, don't buy sense. I don't understand why people that like vanilla android so much would buy anything other then vanilla. Just sayin'
says 8gb card included here on sprints wed site , screen shot it while you can

Since the Sprint site is down at the moment, I've attached the manual to this post

Actually, there was no need for the cloak and dagger, the whole support page is up:

I was trying to find a link to the EVO 3D manual (I figured it would be up by now), but I couldn't find one. Being bored on a Saturday night (wife and kids are visiting her folks out of country - sad bachelor month for me), I decided to see if I could track it down. I found the link for the EVO 4G manual, and started playing around with permutations of it. I got a bunch of page errors on everything I tried except this one:
http://support.sprint.com/global/pdf/user_guides/htc/evo_3d/htc_evo_3d_ug.pdf
It leads to a placeholder PDF for now, but I'm pretty sure this will be the link when it goes live (my guess is Monday night or Tuesday).
It's sad, but I still like to read the manuals

I noticed the manual says nothing about 1080p recording. Only 720 - 2D or 3d. I guess that's that.
pg. 135 and a bit more about mp4 playback on 141

I just accessed it, so it's still up.
BTW, am I crazy or is there really no mention of the MHL/HDMI usage for this phone?
correct me if im wrong but the manual does include swype in this, this means its pre-installed?
I think I might have solved the mystery of the 2 GB micro SD card - sloppy copy editing. The information on the microSD card is in section 2.G. The section heading looks like this:
2G. microSD Card
I bet the technical writer was in a hurry and just saw a 2 GB microSD card?
It's a theory, anyway
Anyone notice the amount of memory it shows in the screenshot?
Page 29 screenshot on the right only shows 554MB of "Total Memory". Wonder when they took that one... being that my EVO shows 405MB in the same menu.
I bet it wasn't even taken on a 3D.

No matter how much i fight it i always run back to HTC.
That EVO+ is a beaut
yeah, I'm gunna go ahead an pass on every single one of those.
You all realize this site aint all that credible at all. All they have done is pull what other sites have already stated long ago and put it in one place. Hell for the HTC Evo+ the comments even say its not likely coming to sprint.
wouldn't put too much into this bs site that hasn't broken any new news ever.

Don't forget about the Palm Pre3 that is listed on that site as well.. It was known over 6 months ago Sprint doesn't want ANYTHING to do with Palm after the crapstorm that was the Pre 2 years ago. Hell HP even said the Pre3 will NOT be coming to any carrier in the states because they dropped it.. so yeah, I'm not believing a word on that site until a more credible source comes up... but thanks for playing!
I know the iPhone is coming to sprint because of all these network changes, but if there was a miracle and it didn't, I would devote my whole life to god. I know that data capping is coming up which is terrible because I use about 2 GB of data per month and around 10 GB on busy months.

take it you are never connected to wifi, even when at home then. 10GB is an insane amount to be pulling. I understand if your using your phone for your home internet also but if your not then its pretty far out there.

Well, I'm at work most of the time when there is no wifi and I am always reading rage comics on reddit, which means loading a lot of pictures. On the weekends, I usually go places a lot which means I will need to use my 3G. I also download movies and **** on it. (with 3G, because it will be done by the time I get home. I could probably cut back on this one)
even though i would really want that EVO+ i got to admit i am very satisfied with my E3D.
One of the best purchases i have ever made honestly, next to my 47 inch Vizio

It's not that far out there if you use apps that are data hogs, such as Pandora, YouTube, or any video chat apps. I use all of those apps on a daily basis and an regularly around 10 gigs a month. Here's the thing, I know I use a lot of data, which is why I'm on sprint with an unlimited plan. If sprint was tiered and had a 10 gig a month plan, that is the plan I'd choose, because I know I use a ton of data, but my only option is the unlimited plan. I should never be penalized for using excess data on my phone, because my plan is unlimited. If they go to tiered, I'd have no choice but to get the plan with the most data that they offer, which is what I'd do. My point is that I'm happy to pay for what I use, but I never want to get penalized for using a lot of data on an unlimited plan, because it's my only option. I'd pay
For more if I had to.

wasn't trying to come off as saying the guy was hurting the network. I'm just used to having wifi almost everywhere I go and can't see pandora chewing that much data but stuff like netflix i can and dropbox stuff.
I'm always just surprised at people that run data that high as they have to have extra battery or extended to make phone last on 3g data that long, for that much.

I know what you mean. I think of myself using my phone a lot and I never really ever come close to 1 gig a month. I am usually at around 600-700 mb. Keep in mind, I only use my phone data for mobile data that my phone just needs. I don't tether, use phone for home internet, download any movies, etc... I can't believe some of the gb's I see people saying there using here lol.
The sad fact of things looks like Sprint will be getting the iphone eventually, which is not good if you look at the history of carriers when they start carrying apple products. It wouldn't be such a downer if all the carriers didn't conform to what apple thinks people need and ruin networks.... But I guess in the end that's the networks fault isn't it?
Apple appears to be trying to do "and successfully" with the networks that it is doing with its own products, one uniform design to rule them all and make sure no one is set apart from anyone else.
I'm thinking the Pink Floyd video, in one end as students out the other as clones
Scratch all that as well, here's a quote from a Best Buy employee in this thread:
Quixion2008 said:
As a current Best Buy employee(Senior at Purdue University(Seasonal employee)...(the same on helping a good amount of this forum get grey docks ahead of schedule) I believe I can shed some light on this issue. Today while using our inventory management software (RSS) I looked up the grey 32 TF201. In BEST BUYS system the sku has been DISCONTINUED. This generally happens when we are no longer receiving that particular model of a computer or tablet physically in stores in the future. This is, in my opinion, not what is going on. As most have noticed the grey 32 prime has been pulled from BBY.com. Only the CG is even on the site. The grey was taken down and given a "secret sku" that was to be used for those who had pre ordered a CG and were given the opportunity to switch to grey. This sku has gotten out to the forums and has been being used to order grey 32 primes online through BBY.com. I suspect BBY is changing the sku so this can no longer be done, and giving the prime a dedicated sku for in store availability which should be occurring within the next 2-3 weeks.
The prime is here to stay.

Also, I never knew this forum was fulled with /b/tards. Shoulda inb4 OP is a troll.
Scratch all that, just talked to a support rep. They're done manufacturing the First model of it. They've got a second model they're planning to roll out this month (just like ICS would be available before the end of the year). That would explain why Best Buy assumed it's done, discontinued the first version of the TF201. Perhaps a TF211? Feel free to call 'em up and ask if it's been discontinued. They should respond with something along the lines of Lol new model! Or something to that effect. Waiting for a supervisor to call me up tomorrow.
Just got off the phone the Best Buy.com floor manager, and *apparently* Asus is no longer manufacturing the Prime. I wanted to return it for a REPLACEMENT, and nobody could answer one simple question: Do you have one in stock to replace it with? I got to the supervisor and he simply told me it was done, gave me a direct number to Asus. He also told me to file an RMA and that Asus would try to fix it, and if they couldnt, then I'd get a same or better one.
Great.
I'm calling Asus to see what's up. I'll update the OP with more info. I want my damn Prime fixed...
I'd appriciate it if someone else called Best Buy to see if this true. Get to a live person, and ask for their supervisor. The guy I got was 'Micheal'. Be sure to ask for his name to see if it's the same guy. Thanks
lol.
Sure
that's because thing is littered with some minor manufactured defects.
oh well, at least it will go up in value
also I bet HASBRO had something to do with this too. Glad I got mines before the court ordered junction was put in place.
LOL, please don't tell me your gonna believe this? Then Asus will probably also be done.
Just delete useless threads like this, thanks.
One thing you should learn pretty quickly is to never believe anything a dumb store manager or CSR tells you.
Im guessing they think they are talking about the OG transformer.
Or did we bully Asus somuch it just up and quit the whole thing?
bwaaa ha ha WTF? BB employees are like VZW employees, I often know more then they do about their own products, thus I don't trust comments like this 1 bit.
i don't know guys, i think the Best Buy.com floor manager is a pretty reliable source...you didn't get to become "floor manager" for nothing....
Maybe the BB floor manager is sick n tired of dealing with all the botched prime exchanging?
I know I would be by now.

Yeah, probably the OG Transformer.
How the heck would a BestBuy *floor manager* get wind of something faster than Endgaget, ITworld, Anandtech, The Verge and the rest of the technocrat blogosphere?
There is a higher probability of Bigfoot doing the Mambo in Time Square
He probably meant the TF101 original Transformer. It makes perfect business sense to phase out the TF101, now that it's replacement is coming to market.

Are you KIDDING ME??? Best buy has launched more misinformation that the Counter-Spy's did in WWII.
I had one "E-Commerce VP tell me that ASUS Hasn't RELEASED the dock yet, it will be out at the END OF JANUARY, LOL! I had to tell him that my co-worker HAS one from Best Buy sitting on his desk, and he still doubted me. I had to point him to one of the "Dock Sources" thread here at xda.
He DID NOT become a floor manager by knowing ANYTHING about product releases, I will tell you that. Man that's funny!!!
I almost hurt myself laughing. HEHEHEHEHE! HAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry - it's my fault. All the tablets i buy go end of life about a week later

if anything bby doesn't have a proper in store stock date so their system is screwed up. no one on CS or at the store level has any idea of what's going on as far as manuf or actual stock beyond what their inventory system shows them, and that system is a piece of crap (unless they updated it significantly after i quit from there, which i doubt)
the only actually plausable thing one can take from this is they are for some reason giving the new batches a different sku and discontinuing the old one.

I thought they are still making the original Transformer?
Yeah best buy also told me that Asus wasn't coming out with the Prime back in december.
Major bugs, horrible design flaw and dishonest sales tactics mixed together with a name that is clearly ripped off from hasbro will lead to its demise.
Prime could have been a real winner but Asus just couldn't live up to it.
They will probably stop making the current bugged out and defective units and redesign it with a plastic back and rename it to the Asus Tranny.

wow.... have i made myself look that stupid in the 20 posts i have here, or did i just misuse an emoticon? i thought the rolling of eyes implied sarcasm...but then you rolled your eyes at me? is that in jest? what if i do it now? does that deflect your sarcasm and reinstate my own? making you look like the fool?
boy, i'm really confused now....
haha....
now i know this is the photon section (my photon is still running like the beast it is) but i just ordered a kyocera echo!! (thanks ebay) now i wanted this phone cause 1. it's the most unique phone on the market, 2. it's discounted, so now i have a rare phone that is VERY hard to find 3. it's a new toy to play with until i go back to my photon
so here's my point to all this, do you guys have any opinions of the echo? or have you guys even heard of such a device??? lol, leave your comments, i'm interested

oh i know it's not the best, but when i use to work at my local sprint store, after the 2.3 update, it was a lot smoother, but i guess i'll see how it is when i get it, it's just something different i think, and it's a phone a lot of people don't have, so it'll turn heads to a point,lol, and for the price, i got this thing for $80, no bad i'd say for a mid ranged android phone with 2 screens, but i'll have this, my evo3d, THE MOPHO!!! still got my crap pre, and a moment
I played with it at my local sprint store and it seemed very...sluggish its a neat concept but that's about it with the pluses lol
Don't remember when it came out or when the update came out but it was a few months before the photon when I messed with it.
89 bucks you can't beat that though plus you could always Clist it for 100 if you ever need some cash lol

1st person to actually say that,lol, but hopefully after i root it, someone out there made an overclocking kernal, i think 1.2Ghz would make the echo run smooth as butter
It's a great big steaming plie of crap
Slow and clunky.

nope discontinued along with the EVO4g i'm afraid (my 1st smart phone) that's kinda why i'm happy to have one now just to fool around with seeing as it may be considered a "rare" phone now, even ebay barely has them listed
I've never truly understood ebay. How can someone auto max bid me out I want a ET4G :OOOO:

okay, hopefully i can explain this, say someone posted an item starting at $0.99
you make your 1st bid $90, up until it reaches $90 you are safe as the highest bidder
so it goes like this
Item $0.99
you bid $90
until someone else bids, you could possibly win the item for $0.99, but you have a $90 cushion
so someone bids $20
the highest bid is now $20, I.E. your cushioned bid and your still the highest bidder
someone bids $90.01, they are now the highest bidder because you only bid up to $90 (and yes, sometimes that penny difference could mean a lost bid!!!)
like with my echo, started at $0.99, i bid $70.01 (to make it an even $80 with shipping) 5 other people bided on the phone but no one went higher then $70.01 so i won it at $70.01, but if someone went just one penny higher, i would have lost
hope i explained it clearly happy bidding
i would love to have one, just to muck around with.
but yea qsd 8650 was a massive battery hog to begin with, adding a second screen... the best thing they ever did for that phone was make it 3g only.
hows cm7 on it?

doesn't seem like there's much development for it, i barely found how to root the darn thing, but if i ever find cm7, i'll try it out, and when they updated to gingerbread, they optimized the phone so much for less battery drain
Lol I honestly don't understand how you can be excited to own one when you already have the Photon.
If it were your first smartphone purchase it would be understandable, but just because it's cheap and "rare" does not make it any better.
If you have young kids or a niece or a cousin, you should let them have it. I'm sure they'd be excited by it

I was going to test the waters on eBay, but decided against it. Can someone link me to a legit, reasonable sd card I can trust. Idk how much they run either....
Speaking to you from my LTEVO!
I have this but this is also a good one
I have the ADATA 32gb class 10. Works great and it was about $30.

Always had & have good luck with PNY's.
why not just go for the 64GB card from sandisk?
every class 10 32GB card i had,Patriot,ADATA and PNY never ran at their rated speeds in real world use(tranfering files) always dropped to 6-7MB/sec write speeds and 18MB/sec read.
This 64GB sandisk class 6 writes between 5-6 and reads over 40MB/sec
they are like $80 but i found an ebayer who had a sale on em last week for $65
heres the result from the sandisk
Legit? I just bought a 64gb class 10 pf ebay for 64 bucks works fine. True class 10.no issues.

Just because it is a class 10 card does not mean it's legit. I hope I am wrong, but try to fill the card to full capacity (just dump any major file you have and try to fill it up). It's not uncommon for scammers to get any old class 10 card and trick the device into thinking it's capacity is greater than advertised. OP be watchful of this and make sure to buy from a reliable source.
There's a guide here on how to detect if the card you own is a fake without having to move files to it.

Oh yes definitely. I didn't mean that directed towards you, sorry if it sounded that way xD just as public knowledge to whoever reads this. There are a LOT of ebay sellers that scam this way and it's a shame. Usually you start to notice if it's a fake (if you don't do the tests I linked above) when you get between 500MB-1GB onto the flash memory and one of two things happen: either you start losing random files or the whole card becomes corrupted and it prompts you to reformat.
A friend of mine who isn't as tech savvy fell for this scam and lost a lot of important data. I'd hate for anyone else to go through that, not to mention the actual loss of money.
