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Yeah I really miss Android IOS is just so outdated I plan on picking up next nexus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.

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

Phone looks awesome but it wont drop until november. And its probably a vzw exclusive for the time being. They didnt comment much on carriers at the release.

This. And as far as trying to build out the brand, it was a poor move to put this into the hands of Verizon the same day the Razr was announced. It sucks because of the fact that data is moving into the cloud, access $80 per 5 piece. I'll never go back to Verizon and the MoPho is a device I can stick with for awhile because the communications and GPS functioning on the device is great.

Ummm, probably because he wants some opinions and thoughts to help with his decision!!
im hearing a lot of speculation of sprint getting it mid q1 next year (just in time to announce their first LTE sites) at which point i will be selling my gf's soul to get one
(dont worry she doesnt actually have a soul.. )
I love everything about the Galaxy Nexus and am really tempted to upgrade. But two things threw me off:
- exclusive to Verizon. What the heck. What happened to the promise to be open and not stick to one carrier? That was just last year when they released the Nexus S!
- Likely to be CDMA only. As a student from Hong Kong that goes back every half year, I need my GSM connectivity on my Photon.
Now that Google bought Motorola, I have high hopes that they will bring ICS to Photon.

the international version is gsm and carrier unlocked, just the same as the previous nexus. if you are on tmo or att that version will work fine
verizon exclusive is only until sprint gets lte set up. sprint just bought a CRAPLOAD of iphones and is subsidzing them at a horrible cost to themselves. once they have the capital and lte networks up i expect to see a sprint version
*cries* Yeah and I wish they hadn't done so now they are so cash strapped it'll be a while before we see improvements around here? :/

I was asking everyone for their opinions just to get some idea of what I should do...I would wait for sprint to get the device because I used to work for Verizon and they are full of **** over there but I am not sure about the devices as a whole...things have been moving really slow over here and I give much thanks and props to the guys that have been developing over here but I am used to flashing at will without all of the problems with 4g wifi etc...I get bored easily so I am already looking for my next device but when I can flash at will it keeps my current device fresh and new for me and I don't get bored with it as fast....if I can get ICS in the next couple of Weeks thru a leak our something I will be good until upgrade time I guess
Motorola is probably working on it but a release of ics won't be until march April maybe.. It won't come overnight but in time...

Though ICS is looking dam good on Galaxy Nexus keep in mind that Samsung is not good with updates.So,if there is any bug in initial release only God can help you.
For example Samsung Infuse released with froyo and Samsung almost forgot about this phone.

It pains me to say but I'm leaving my E3D behind and going with iPhone 4S. Don't blame me just yet!
I have always been a fan of Droid and its power to customization. What happened was that I got the iPhone 4S for the wife and she gave it to me stating she don't want to learn about iOS since she's already used to Droid. Didn't want to go thru the hassle of returning, I accepted the offer.
I do still have a couple of droid phones to play around with though, so I'm not completely gone gone.
I already missed my droid after just a few days of iPhone.

Sell the iPhone for some good monies
the hassle isnt that bad if ur still in the return timeline....it would be more of a pain and hassle to me to know i took an iphone over the the masterminds here at xda that i thank everyday for making my evo what it is.but hey thats my opinion.
yeah im now going to be using a g2x as my primary phone. :-( but ill still have my 3d as a voip phone at home. bye sprint hi tmobile 30 dollar prepaid plan
I know, I'll get a lot of hate for saying this, but the iPhone 4S is a really good phone. Perfect shape, size, screen, camera, everything a man could wish for in a smartphone. But the dealbreaker for me is iOS. iOS just looks like an app drawer to me, and even after "jailbreaking" an iOS device there is still not much you can do.
TL;DR I would rather have an iPhone than an Evo 3D if it wasn't plagued by iOS.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
Guys what is the next round of phone or phones? I am considering the s3, and the one x and evo 4g lte are killer, but if there is something better/more powerful towards end of year, I want to wait. Does it look like end of this year for new phones or next year?

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.

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.

I was deciding between the EVO LTE, and S3. Ultimately, for me it came down to the better carrier. I have grown tired of Sprint's slow data, and went with the S3 on Verizon.

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.

Guys what is the next round of phone or phones? I am considering the s3, and the one x and evo 4g lte are killer, but if there is something better/more powerful towards end of year, I want to wait. Does it look like end of this year for new phones or next year?

If you like the stock Android experience, get whatever new phone comes out. Since I like modding phones with custom kernels and ROM's, I try to look out for the phones that have a lot of devs going over. Just my $0.02

In that case, wouldn't the S3 be the best choice? 10M sold so far from what I understand...

I don't know. I'm thinking about the S3 if everything is gravy with the sprint model. I'll wait about 2 months and make sure there arent alot of issues. If not I'll prob go with the evo LTE...
been thinking about this alot, since sprint is really good in my area, and I have an upgrade in 2 months...

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.
Look at the link in post 2, it's a fake. No XXL

So some of you might know me... Some may not but, I've been developing roms for Verizon's HTC phones for year's, and I think I might want to try a different carrier for awhile and sprint is at the top of my list... Don't get me wrong I love the user base from the Verizon peeps but it just keeps getting smaller and smaller... The last 2 devices I've had Incredible 2 and Rezound just seemed like they died before they got going by that I mean no support other than me and a couple other devs...
So what I'm asking is what are your thoughts about sprints service... And do you think the LTE should be my next device? I've played around with a lot of the new HTC phones and the LTE seems to be better than the other's, so it will most likely be my next phone, but I want to hear what you all think?

I love my LTE and have had Sprint service for nearly 15 years. No complaints here...Sure, the 3G speed isn't that great, but that should change with Network Vision project. I live in Baltimore so I get pretty decent speeds right now, but there are plenty of others that are not.
Customer Service: never had an issue with them
Dropped Calls/Missed Calls: not nearly as many as with AT&T and some others that my friends use. Seems pretty stable.
Data: 3G isn't great, but, it works and is unlimited.
Bills: Never had an issue with Billing
Hope that helps somewhat.
EDIT: I ran your NEWTS RC3 on the EVO 3D and loved it. Couldn't change ROMS after flashing yours because nothing came close...
You should definitely come over to the EVO 4G LTE forums and hook us up. LOL...
Do it newt. Data speeds are pretty decent in major cities, price is right and this phone is a beast. Two best parts: screen and audio quality. I came from the 3d and am glad I left the drama and subparness of that phone behind. Ran your sense 4.0 port at the end of my time with the 3d and loved it. Lets just hope sprint doesn't forget about this device like the 3d. Oh and there's no drama here like the 3d. Come join the party newt, we need more devs like you.
The phone is a beast, sprint is what it is
Would love to see u on this device

I've been with Sprint for 11yrs, it's been a rocky ride at times but they've improved substantially over the last several. I love my LTE but a friend of mine just got the GS3 and I was playing around with it and it's a really nice phone. That being said, the selfish part in me wants as many quality developers as possible committed to the LTE to try and bring development here to the level it was with the OG EVO. Since you're a developer and the phone will likely stay bone stock just long enough for you to root it, it really comes down to specs and personal preference as to design and build quality. LTE is a little lighter and seems a little thinner, GS3 seems a little more soldly built (even with it being all plastic). There's an issue of the LTE bending just above the kickstand due to the aluminum being so thin and weak in that area. IMO the LTE has a slightly better screen but the GS3 screen is still beautiful. GS3 has far more storage available to it and a removable battery. I've actually been thinking of switching to the GS3 just because all I really want is a fully working, solid, stable AOSP build and I have a feeling the GS3 is going to get there first.

I feel the same, my last 4 were Touch Diamond, OG EVO, 3D, and LTE. Honestly, I'd rather have you and as many other developers here as possible to help make this thing greater than it already is.

^^^^^^^^ this
If your willing to take the sacrifice from insanely fast data to Sprints mediocre data until LTE really starts going, I think you'll see this as a nice upgrade from HTC's previous devices. The build quality is something I didn't expect, because its really that nice. The one thing that I still have yet to get over on this phone, is this beautiful screen.
If you decide to come to the EVO-side I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

The EVO LTE is awesome compared to any other phone out there, period. Only draw back on the phone is not being able to take out the battery. Everything else on the EVO destroys the competition. (Well not destroy, just get the phone you won't be disappointed.) Sprints service is better than they get credit for I think. Though they need to work faster on 4G so we can stop getting charged for something we cannot use and so they can stop BSing that it is for data coverages. 3G speed is what you would expect really. Unlimited everything is a big plus. And their customer service is sub par but I think most carriers are.
From what I read here, your the man. Make it happen chief!
Would be good to have you here newt

Word... I WILL NOT buy a phone from another manufacturer. I feel that HTC's build quality is unmatched and honestly I love Sense with Nova instead of Rosie (i know that isn't a popular opinion).
Sprint has been good to me here in Charleston, Wv. I have the OG Evo, the Evo 3D, the HTC Flyer tablet and now the Evo 4G LTE... wouldn't trade this phone for anything currently on the market.
In this area on 3G I seem to average between 1500 and 1700 mbps and that is plenty for me as I am usually on Wifi... I honestly don't care much if 4G even comes to this area and of the handful of dropped calls I have ever had, I was talking to someone on AT&T so I tend to believe that it was on their end.
Sprint service is decent i have had worse t-mobile "cough" phones seen alot nicer on sprint if your an htc fan..excited to see you considering the lte
