Oh gawd, I wouldn't be able to afford Apple as a carrier if they were to take over Sprint. Haha
Thank goodness that this is more of fantasy type of deal that is being speculated.

I certainly hope not. I can't imagine go into the store with no Androids no unlimited data. If this happens me and sprint are breaking up after 11 yrs.
Please NO!
if it comes to fruition, then.............T-Mobile, here i come!
All I can say is wow I hope not for my friends sake lol

Apple's going to reel in even more sheep with this one. Sprint dumbphone users (lol idk if there are any) will be a huge addition to apple's brainwashed userbase.
I got b& at /g/ for sh!tposting ;_;
Sprint would become the All I Phone Network. Ha ha. You can have any phone you want so long as it's an iPhone. (Similar to Henry Ford's, Model T slogan: You can have any color you want so long as it's black.) You'd have activate your phone on Sprint tunes.

AT&T and Verizon is instructing reps to stop selling iPhones and push Androids because a) the new iPhone is coming out in a few weeks and b) they make more money off of LTE phones and data packages.
This rumor doesn't hold weight IMO.

I can see it now "Why go with Verizon when the iPhone is specifically made for the Apple Network 7th generation Light Speed towers with ENHANCED coverage? Other carriers and phones such as Android devices are just starting to use the 4th gen towers. Get smart with 7 GEES. Get ahead of technology. Only on the the Apple Network!"

I expect this (or the next if we are unlucky) to be a single global world phone capable of running on every network and every freqency, both 3g and 4glte.

WooHoo
Why do you want an iFail? I mean I hope they get it just more customers in my shop with broken phones! Seriously though the Evo 3D crowd is pretty hard core android users so I guess you could say we don't care.
Imo iPhone hardware is up to par. Software is good for the average user. But i know that the type of community that is here is way better off with android. I have had all iPhones and jus switched to android earlier this year and I feel its a much better device.

There's nothing wrong with iPhone hardware, it's the closed nature of the software that is irritating.

Why would you want an IPhone? The EVO 3D is so much better that an IPHONE. I love the fact that I can customize my phone any way I want. From custom ROMS to just custom screens it is so much fun to use. Granted I recommend IPHONEs to people that just can't seem to grasp the concept of customizing their phones.

In terms of a business standpoint. Its good for Sprint.
For us and anyone coming from other networks. Its gonna be bad. I remember what happened when the iPhone 3G dropped.
Speeds, reliability, calls dropped for several weeks. :-(
Not looking forward to it from a customer stand point.
This is from when I complained about the Thunderbolt booloader awhile ago. I have a Rezound now, I loled when I read this letter. Looks like we'll just have to hope on s-off from the community. My scanner is broken so I had to use my phone to snap a shot :X.

Just thought I'd throw it in there
Verizon **ckless at it's typical bullsh**. They're always up to no good to prevent their customers from getting the "most" out of their phones. $$$$$$$$$ . Hopefully someone successfully hacks the bootloader.... Or Htc gets on VZWs case enough to unlock it. Hmm, I have my doubts.
Yeah I think I've decided that if we don't get s-off by January 14 I'll be trading for the nexus... I'm not a fan of any kind of skins, including sense. Even though I may be in the minority I really want stock ics... I was just hoping to have it on this phone.

There was no problem at all.clean esn. I called sprint on the spot before handing over the money. It was clean. She (the sprint folk) even asked me if I wanted to activate it on the spot. And the person I bought it from is from my same city. I have his number and license plate number so if anything happens it shouldn't be hard to locate him. Been playing with the phone and everything is clean all was sealed.

Shows you the bar Apple set with the iPhone when our goal with our devices is to impress iPhone users. I get no satisfaction out of showing up iPhone users. I get satisfaction out of using my phone.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Impressed an iPhone user? That's not hard to do, when I worked as a copier tech I used my cell all the time to call in and let my manager know what's going on with the more important contracts and just making a call seemed to impress them. One time I was just texting a part number to Brian, the guy who's in charge of inventory. This guy rushes over all impressed. He tells me, oh thats so cool. Let me guess, you guys can scan the part and order from an online catalog right? Android is so cool. I was about to tell him no I'm just texting the part but I thought nah. Instead I told him we have full control over parts and inventory and that we even know when networked printers go down. He was floored lmao

I hated that phone. What a pos. Not the iPhone either.
What I thought was funny was how similar they look. The instinct was released in 2008, the iphones redesign was in 2010 yet they are suing samsung because apple claims some of their galaxy lineup looks like the iPhone 4.

I just saw the EVO 4G LTE on this past Thursday's "The Michael J. Fox Show" on NBC. I assume it was product placement (everything on TV these days is) and since the show started filming in January, this episode must've been shot before the HTC One was released.

I saw that too! I thought it was weird that it was the EVO but them filming in January explains it. The show is hilarious too!
Also saw the EVO LTE on the show "We Are Men."
Maybe that's why they're willing to upgrade this device to Sense 5 and Android 4.3.
If any of you want to see the EVO 4G LTE on tv everyday, check out ABC's General Hospital. The phone started appearing on the show in the last 2-3 months. What surprised me is most of the shows cell phone scenes almost exclusively use the EVO LTE.

I don't know why you guys find this so shocking? I think Sprint has a contract with NBC because their phones are always on their shows. When I used to watch Heroes back then I grew sick of seeing Sprint branded on every phone a character would use to place a call.
