First off this isn't a post dogging on the evo. I want to make it clear that I love my evo to death. Now I am just curious to know if anyone will be going out and getting the photon? The specs aren't too bad and it looks like it could be a pretty solid phone. My wife is actually do for an upgrade so I might get her it and steal it for a bit.
Anyone else thinking of purchasing or maybe even trading in your evo for the photon?

I am returning my evo 3D for Photon 4G, spec is about the same but it has dual networks CDMA and GSM, this is all in one phone, it is kind of convenience when we travel to GSM country, just pop prepaid GSM card and ready to go. I also hope that Motorola phone has a better signal. Forget to mention, kickstand is a plus.
Yes, Sprint gave me my EVO 3D and I will purchase the photon when it comes out. I miss my kickstand and the 3D function really does hurt my eyes. I know I don't have to use it. but the dual camera kind of annoys me since its so big.
Yeah I have to agree an android world phone that's that ish... the evo 3d is a nice gimmick but that's it I just hope we can get asop roms running this like asap

What are the chances of this phone getting Dev Support as much as the evo. I'm undecided between photon and EVO 3d. Photon seems like a better phone than EVO 3D

Have you even bothered to check the development Photon forum?
how many of us EVO 3d owners were gonna switch to the phones in the title, im gsm and lte wont be hitting the uk (like the evo 3d wasnt)
UNTIL ICS WAS LEAKED
and then changed there mind, deciding, the EVO still has life left in the old baby yet
I'll still be upgrading

I'll be pre ordering the LTE for sure. I upgrade once a year no matter what.

honestly the best way to use an upgrade is on a iPhone (if you like them), because sprint devices drop value after 2-3 months you could pick one up used for contract price from craigslist

That's not a bad idea. Get the iPhone for contract price. Sell it for way more. Buy a used Evo LTE. Then keep the profit.

I'm still going to preorder the LTE but if Newt gets his Rom running 100percent I may keep my 3d

HTC has announced that the One X won't be unlockable on AT&T. If they don't allow unlocking on Sprint, how will that affect your decision? I'm sure a dev or three will eventually find a hole and give us a root method, but I'm sure it won't be easy and may be a good bit of a wait.
Yes that's a good point. If it cannot be unlocked, I'll keep my 3d.

I'll be ordering mine in 20 hours 18 mins and 15 seconds
HTC really shot themselves in the foot, not that im complaining
Still getting the EVO LTE the EVO 3d is good and has life but its missing something what idk
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
the evo 3d is still good, not the best phone possible obviously but more than "good enough" with this update, I dont think that I will upgrade at least for six months more, probably next year.
my money now will go toward a new tablet instead of a new phone.
ICS is nice but the New Camera, Kickstand, S4 Krait, 16GB, HD Voice, LTE, NFC and Sense 4.0 with the new EVO is really tempting.
If anything, ICS/Sense 3.6 made my 3D go up in value.
I'm going to need a Sprint leak or final before I actually sell though. Can't roam with the current VM leak.

I think Agrabren mentioned something about finding an exploit in the S4 chip and stated that REVOLUTIONARY will only support qualcom chips. We should be in good shape with or without HTC's unlock, though I doubt Sprint will restrict unlocking.
Think I'm going to wait for the s3 i love sense but I'm tired of HTC the so called flagship phones come out with a bang then in 3 months or less they are forgotten look at the 3d and rezound

The OneX is unlockable even on AT&T. HTC announced they understood that customers were very upset that they could not unlock their devices and decided to make all new phones since the 3d, unlockable. As far as sense3.6, I'm not that excited about it. Sense 4.0 is still way much better. I'm going to get the OneX when it comes to sprint in June. But the name is going to be changed, adding it to the evo family. I hear its suppose to be the best evo yet, even topping the Evo4g LTE. I'm excited.

one x = no sd, and no upgradable battery
S3 = to plasticy, tacky feeling, no 3d
evo 4g lte = cdma only (im gsm) no 3d

When the OneX joins Sprints Evo family, its said to have removeable SD unlike AT&T version. As for the removeable battery, I'm sure there is a way, there is ALWAYS a way.

Works for me. I pre-ordered my Evo 4G LTE the other day to replace my Evo 3D. My teenage son is on Virgin Mobile with an LG Optimus V now, so maybe I'll be able to upgrade him to my EVO 3D once I get my EVO 4G LTE.

Why are you upset about it? VM is getting an old phone, rebranded. It runs ICS, but that just tells me that our official release is not far off.

plus, they retired it within a year. that sucks
Is the Evo design 4g and the Evo 4g lte the same phone?
My friend has a sprint htc Evo design 4g and I cannot find the xda development thread for that phone.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
No.
The 4g LTE is a high end top of the line phone.
The design is probably considered mid tier with its 5mp camera and other specs

To follow up on the above post, a clarification. The Evo Design 4G is WiMax, the same 4G that the orignal (OG) Evo had. The WiMax network is still active and will continue to do so for a while longer yet (probably somewhere between 2 and 4 years, but that's 100% pure speculation), but there is basically no good reason to go with the Evo Design over the Evo LTE.
Well ok, I guess it depends on how good of a deal you can get. The Evo LTE is around $200 while you can probably find the Design for less than that. I assume this question is for buying purposes. Your friend is like the nazi guy from Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade upon finding what he thinks is the holy grail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubw5N8iVDHI
My wife has the design, she upgraded to that from the Samsung intercept about a year ago. It's a decent phone, it's just one that no one really cared about. There is a rooting forum on Phandroid for it, but I don't think it has any mods or roms though.

My mom has the Design, and they just got ICS. along with my girls 3D.
