Now, before anybody gets the wrong idea, I am in no way unhappy with my phone or wanting to knock or besmirch (GREAT WORD!!!) any of the developers for our phone or any other non-Nexus device (Samsung, Motorola, HTC, LG, etc.). I just am curious, I was up in the air between getting the Galaxy Nexus and the EVO LTE when I was eligible for upgrade last June and I went with the EVO because I prefer the feel and build quality of HTC over the other manufacturers, and because the GNex was almost 6 months old when the EVO LTE was released, and because the EVO LTE has a far superior camera to the GNex. I am also partial to Sense over TouchWiz, Blur, etc, even though we really all know having an overlay over vanilla Android isn't the best Android experience. I have owned the CDMA Hero, EVO 4G, the EVO 3D, and now the EVO LTE and I am an HTC fanboy through and through (and am hoping that in 2014, the Nexus line is manufactured by HTC). I read where Google is trying to bring official AOSP support to non-Nexus devices (I believe Sony is the first one. Please correct me if I'm wrong.). I was just curious if anybody is starting to seriously consider moving to a Nexus phone for their next phone.
That will be my next phone...

I will only get a nexus device if they start including sd expansion. Since its a development device I don't see it happening anytime soon
It most likely depends on who the manufacturer is of the Nexus device when I'm eligible for an upgrade in 2014.
I had a tough time choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and the EVO LTE this summer. I ultimately went with HTC because I previously had the OG Evo and was very happy with it.
ill wait till the specs come out for it before i decide.
If HTC makes the next nexus then more than likely I will buy it. It would be cool to have some sense roms on it along with aosp

I went with the evo over the nexus because of hardware and build quality. Figured software is changeable, hardware ain't.

My girl has the LTE, and while I love it, I learned that nexus devices are better for a latest and greatest flash junky like me. So next nexus is my next phone

I bought the g-nex just before the ltevo came out. I hated it. It didn't even feel like an upgrade from the original EVO that was 2 years old. Neeedless to say - I returned it and waited for this phone.

Funny. I want this so bad, but depending what happens, I may go with Gnex. I got my mom one for mothers day, and it's nice. So nice to not have ICS uglified by sense.
That said, I would prefer Evo cuz I could play with sense if I felt like it, or mostly just use CM or AOKP (hopefully, I'm just assuming there will be AOSP development). Also, I'm sure the HTC camera is better, and from reports, the processor is better.

I was really excited about the GNex pre-launch of Verizon. I planned to pick it up once it hit Sprint, though I expected Sprint would get it shorty after Verizon. I went to a Verizon store to check it out when it launched but was highly disappointed with the device. While the GNex is still probably the best looking device to me, the camera let me down, screen, and overall performance as well. I was stoked to see the HTC One line announcement at MWC, and new that the One X/XL would be my next device

Ditto. I was 100% sold on a Gnex until my Step Mom got one from VZW it was nice to play with but there was enough lacking that I decided to wait for the Evo LTE, That of course is not saying it's bad at all if there was no EVO LTE it would definitely be my next upgrade.
I have the gnex and am going with the new evo because I can't seem to get used to the on screen nav buttons. I guess I'm a stick in the mud and like the touch buttons under the screen. Added my wife to my plan and she's getting the gnex when the evo arrives. Its a really nice phone and it will be her first touch screen device so she will be stoked.

I was holding out pulling the trigger on a purchase.. I wanted the Gnex for thep ur experience but at the current prices I had to go 4G LTE.. Best I saw was Wirefly no activation fee, +50$ GW credit on Gnex which brings it to $100 all said and done. The 4G LTE while delayed has no activation fee either, gets a +10$ GW credit, and would be $140.00 after applying everything. I couldn't justify such an old device for $50 less then the 4GLTE all things considered so I got the 4G LTE.
I've always wanted a Nexus device but CDMA is not a fav at Google.. The wait just isn't worth it. Unfortunately I will be waiting a little bit for a pure experience
What device? What made you want to change to this device? What is your favorite thing about THIS device versus older device? Figured this would help get to know each other a little bit. I will start...
LG Esteem on MetroPCS. Favorite thing about this device over older is that I am back to having a high end HTC device overall once again since the Original Inc. What made me want to change was the fact that I wanted another very high end device and am happy that I did.

The GS3 is not wildly different from this device now that the US variant has been announced. It's a bit larger (I'd say bordering on too large, but I could adjust if I had to), and the screen on Samsung devices does look different - not better or worse in my opinion. But it's no killer in performance, even if it had kept the quad-core (this Krait CPU is bomber). I don't see a lot that would sway me now that I have the LTE, and to be honest, after the OG Evo I've been extremely happy with the build quality of HTC. Plus, I didn't have to wait another who knows how long, and isn't the SGS3 going to launch for $299? Or was that just pre-release hearsay?
So, in short, brand loyalty, past experience, and impatience. (Okay, not really impatience, but it is nice to have the LTE now.)
Would the $300 price tag be for the 16GB model or the 32GB model though?

I have had a Evo 4 G LTE for a while now and am fairly happy... for me the S3 and the Evo 4 G LTE are fairly similar... now both might have some pluspoints in one category and some others in another, but here is my question...
my wife is now on my old evo 4G. Her plan is up and she can buy a new phone...
Now the 2 i consider are Evo 4G LTE and S3 since they still seem to dominate the market...
My wife does not necessarily wanna root her device and she is not as involved as me...
Still are there any pros to having 2 same phones, that i am not aware of? meaning buying a second EVO LTE ?
Or are there any Pro about having 2 different phones? Any EVO 4 LTE Owner out there?? What does your significant other own?

Evo all the way. That way any apps you share, any texts and pictures you send, etc. will all work the same. And Sense is more user friendly than touchwiz will ever be. It's the closest you can get to the IPhone for user experience (and the reviews and consumer reports back it up). The dedicated camera button also helps a lot.

S3 is the most overrated and overhyped phone ever. if you do not like your 4g LTE, look at the droid razr maxx hd, it has one of the largest battery while staying in reasonable form factor. Build quality is also superb. Nexus 4 is also a very good phone as it has one of the fastest cpu (quad core s4 pro) and the build quality is also superb. The only downside is it lacks microsd. The upcoming Sony yuga is also very good choice.

Get her the EVO LTE. My wife had the OG EVO and now has the EVO LTE and loves it. She is stock/no root and is not interested either. Being that she was used to the sense UI on the OG EVO, the EVO LTE was a perfect phone for her. Don't change it up by going with an S3 or even the iphone5, it will probably just confuse and fustrate her having to learn the UI all over again.

I have my EVO LTE rooted & s off,and I must say I would personally rather have the evo over the s3. If she's used to sense and is abusive I would get the HTC evo LTE, however if your wife doesn't drop things or bang it around I would say go with the s3, the s3 is pretty bad ass when not rooted. I have both devices and I will say the s3 is easier to use. Not to mention the s3 is also noticeably faster

I bought the wife a GS3 on black friday and she loves it. But she is basically a noob on android and has no idea what the phone can even do.
A bit of background.................She was using an OG Evo, (I rooted it and put meanrom on it) she abused that phone........so for the last 2 months I gave her my retired Evo 3D.....in 2 months she made it look like it was 5 years old. Broke the red ring around the camera, the side of the bezel is coming off on both sides. So I bought her the GS3 for $50 on black friday.
She has no idea what root is other than its what lets her use her kindle on the train in the mornings, lol. I play with it every once in a while but I definately like the evo experiance better. But the only good I found for having 2 different phones was to actually see if there was a difference getting LTE on my EVO and her GS3. And for me there is no difference, they both hold the signal the same.

I'm in the same spot as you, my wife has an OG evo... her contract isnt up yet, but I have been telling her to get the S3 ( i have the evo 4g lte)... too many annoying quirks with the stock evo 4g lte... now if the jelly bean update actually comes... and actually fixes wifi bounce or the issues with the 4g lte signal... then i will be telling her to get the evo... if i could do it all over again, I would get an s3 ( I was a day one OG Evo buyer and really liked the phone)... just because it has a larger user base and more development as far as I can tell.
Still no lte fix on the evo lte and its been 6 monthes since it came out
gs3 with android 4.2 cm10.1
After owning both phones, the EvoLTE wins in some areas and the GS3 wins in some areas. I personally chose to leave the EvoLTE becuase of the 4G problems, locked battery, and constant Sense freeze ups. I don't think your wife will have as many apps, contacts, and need for extra batteries like me so you might as well keep the interface consistent by sticking with HTC since she is already using the OG Evo.
The EvoLTE has a better screen, camera, and keyboard.
The GS3 has a removable battery, better 4G signal, more intuitive software/shortcuts, and better multitasking.

I'm the more phone techy one, so it may be just me but I'd be a bit disturbed if my husband gave me a phone with out my input.
FWIW, I had the Evo OG, rooted it. I thought about getting SGIII but I preferred Sense over Touch wiz and I liked how Evo LTE felt in my hand.
Finally, not everyone wants an iPhone even if the phone remains stocked and unrooted. I wish people would stop suggesting the iPhone as the default.

I've owned every HTC android device on Sprint since the Hero and I must say, the EVO 4G was the only great experience I've had. I like to hack my phone, custom ROMs, theming, the whole nine yards. The EVO 4G was the best phone I've ever owned but I really can't say one way or another if I'll buy another HTC again as it all depends on what they offer.
I like how Samsung has unified the GS3 and may end up with a GS4 next year but the EVO line is inconsistent and being carrier exclusive can limit the developer following and tends to easily be forgotten. I'm hoping HTC makes one flagship phone for all carriers (think One X on every carrier with a black/red model called "EVO" for Sprint). That way the phones are the same not matter how you look at it... just my two cents.
Hope that makes sense.. really tired on third shift.
They need to make a EVO line accros all carry and make that there flagship phone.. And it needs to be a cutting edge device when they release it. Samsung got it right the g3. I am a fan of HTC but they just don't seem to get it anymore. Yea I know you guys will want the EVO line to stay sprint exclusive but we get screwed. The g3 bei g across all carries they get all the cool accessories and development.

Samsung is a good company and make awesome devices but they a sorta like apple when apple fan thanks about android they thank about g3 and when when we thank about them we thank about iPhone there are so many android phones out there and what I mean about I want some thing that no one has is a good powerful device that no one want like the evo lte mostly every one in my small town has a g2 g3 or a iPhone so I want some different

Sprint has a lot of android phone but no really big one with development mostly the ones with development are evo late g3 sorta note 2 g2 and the nexus and 4/5 of those devices are Samsung so if the m7 comes out on sprint I might get and put caynogmod on so I like to thank I have a nexus
Both htc and Samsung are making good phones. Everyone has their preference. I recently switched to the gs3 from the evo lte because I wanted something different. I like both phones though.
Having said that, now I need to be a grammar nazi, please punctuate. It's difficult to read your posts.

OK man. I love how the g3 looks but so many people have it. Nexus 4 looks awesome but you can't find it in stores. I'm the one that like to see the phone first before I get it.

Yea, I wouldn't buy a phone if I couldn't try it out in person either. I'm excited to see what htc has in store for its next release. After using the gs3, it will be a tough decision between the gs4 and the next htc phone.

I think it was Android Central where an HTC executive said the HTC ONE will be their only flagship device this year and it won't be modified for carriers..... So where does the leave the EVO line?? Carriers always leave their best phones for a summer release and the ONE comes out next month.....No way Sprint won't have a flagship device releasing in May/June!!!!

You could be right, however I think there is another situation about to happen. As far as marketing and hyping up a phone, HTC will only be making noise about the One. So you won't see any big shows, commercials, or anything else from HTC unless its about the One. That is HTC baby for 2013.
But....that doesn't mean that Spint won't contract HTC to design an EVO with lets says a snapdragon 800, and some other goodies. But the marketing, and hype will all have to come from sprint. And for that reason, I am not sure how that will go over. But I do think sprint will contine the EVO, but expect no noise from HTC about it.
Htc is crap. I wish i got a S3.... or At least they get rid of Rosie. That is all. lol.
Here's sprints summer flagship http://gizmodo.com/5986617/lgs-55+inch-optimus-pro-has-a-1080p-ips-screen-hands-on I know I'll be getting one... The evo has been good to me but maybe Google did their homework with LG and I'm going to follow suit

Nah, I doubt sprint would even consider that. LG doesn't have that kind of backing ot credibility to pull off an EVO. No history of updates, pro/con development, or releasing of source. Not sure many would opt to grab that over the One. I know I wouldn't.

That looks really nice to me! I've never owned an LG phone, but they have definitely been improving their Android game lately! While my next phone will definitely have at least a 5"display, I'm not so sure I want a 5.5" display as the Note 2 actually felt a little larger than I was expecting (and I had expected that I'd love that size display). Only complaint with the Optimus G Pro is that the display is only IPS, instead of IPS Plus/Super IPS. Both of my current tablets have an IPS Plus display, being the Asus Prime (TF201) and the Asus Infinity (TF700T). That article even mentions that the display is not as bright as they would have liked, and IPS Plus does exactly that - increases display brightness. I guess we'll see what all Sprint has planned for this spring/summer, as that will be 1 year for me with the Evo LTE and that's about how often I've been purchasing a new phone for the last 6 years. So far though, the Optimus G Pro is in the front of the pack. I'm hoping HTC releases a phone with a 5"+ display soon very soon, as they have officially said that they will be producing phones with 5"+ displays this year.

The One is HTC's only flagship phone, not Sprint's. I'm sure they're working with Sprint on a phone that'll be released in the summer to continue the EVO name. Remember, HTC had a couple different "flagship" phones last year with the One line. Now, they're sticking with just one phone (no pun intended). Now, I have been wrong before, but this is just my speculation. I'd buy the One if an EVO isn't in the cards.
If the One will be HTC's only flagship then the EVO is dead, unless they release one and it's a mid-tier device. If that was the case, why would you buy it?
Face it guys, it's over for the EVO.
As for Sprint, the only rumored device I see potentially topping the One is the Moto X. This is purely speculation seeing as there are no released specs, but I believe it won't be exclusive to any one carrier and Google wants to offer a non-Nexus device to beat Samsung's flagship. Too bad we probably won't get any details until May because I really want the One next month. It would suck waiting until May just to hear its not as superior as rumored, or that it won't go to Sprint anyway.
Yea, the EVO line is dead. I enjoyed it, but it's time to go. This will make advertising, accessories and everything else much easier.
I know people like the body design of the 4g LTE, but I for one think the one X on at&t was a much much better looking phone. The HTC ONE looks even better than that. I'll miss the kickstand, but I'm tired of explaining to people what an evo is and why it's actually still part of HTCs flagship line. It makes zero sense to keep making carrier specific models.

I for one am glad that the EVO line might be dead. The reason I am saying that is because this "should" make for quicker updates. One phone two base updates (CDMA/GSM). HTC can pour all their recourses into keeping these 2 versions updated. I know that carriers will add there bloat but keeping the base updates basically uniform should speed up the process. Just my 2 cents.

Well seeing that us Sprint guys don't need the SIM slot on the side, maybe we'll get an sdcard slot. Maybe.
