Judging by the fact that I'm in the middle of a two year contract, I'm not so sure if I'll be jumping to the HTC One. What are your thoughts? Is it worth the money to switch, and do you think you are gonna get it?

As someone that literally buys a new phone every year, I might get this. However, I won't be able to get it until summer, but something new might be available by then, so we'll just have to wait and see. The money is right, but I'd like to know that there's something else coming with an SD card slot. We'll just have to see what's in store for summer.
I'm getting it. Gonna buy out a month of my moms contract and then she'll be due for an upgrade

Luckily its not a huuuuge jump from the EVO so I'll be sticking with this phone. Plus LTE won't arrive to my area until 'October 2014’ so there's definitely no hurry for me. Kinda wish I would've held onto my 3D.

Me. But work is buying it, and it will be on AT&T (so I'll actually have LTE).
FU Sprint for not bringing LTE to Denver in a reasonable time frame.
Holding off on this phone. I've owned all of the Evos but won't be buying this one. Sprint sucks. I'm waiting until a couple months remain on my contract and then jumping ship to Verizon. Verizon has 4g in my city and have for almost a year and I'm stuck here with Sprint's ****ty 3g service that won't even load a Google search in a decent amount of time.

ugh i just wish it supported sd cards
I've also had all of the Evos. I personally like the One even without a sd card. It sucks because I bought the LTE outright because I'm not due for a upgrade until April. Oh well I'll just have the LTE and the One. No way in hell I'm giving the LTE up for a 100.00 dollars after I paid 550.00 for it in December.
method1911 Tranquility LTE
Ill mostly find a way to buy the one but, ill probably not let this EVO go for quite a while. This has easily been the best phone I've ever had and I love this phone! I wish it would've had all the crazy development we had with the first EVO. That was so much fun. Everytime you would log on to the forum you never knew what new thing would be there. Which is funny because I almost exclusively ran warm or virus but I read everything. Needless to say, I love this phone and I am excited to see this new one.
I also have to say that the development for this phone is, although not as heavy and as many, I think it is definitely WAY better. Mikey, and superjelly, and these others are really throwing solid builds. I just miss the buzz that used to be here.
Unless the galaxy s4 has something to deter me away then the HTC One it is.

This is the correct choice. Sprint is due for a new phone, and anything you get right now will be outdated soon. The Nexus S is your best bet for a relatively affordable phone off-contract right now, because it's already got ICS unofficially, and behind the Galaxy Nexus, it'll likely be first to have it officially as well.
Don't get an Evo 3D. The 3D is cool, but barely anybody can view the photos and videos you make with it right now anyway, and the difficulty it apparently adds to development has choked our dev community when compared to other phones. It's frustrating.
Just make sure that is not a Samsung phone....couple of friends at work have the new epic touch and i havnt heard anythin good about em
And yea just get a watever phone and hold your upgrade like that you can get a way better phone in the near future...

I was looking forward to a 5 inch screen for the next HTC flagship to Sprint, but I'll settle for 4.7 with 1080p display at 468ppi. And the rest of the specs, I'll take it.
Not much to be hyped about compared to the DNA....camera...and screen are really all that's a upgrade to it... Show me next gen Qualcomm SoC in a Sprint device and then ill get excited!
Really worried they will toss APQ chip in with MSM/MDM for radios which will be old by time of an EVO launch....

I still don't see VZ jumping on board this soon after the DNA release either...

My wife keeps wanting me to buy a new phone for her, but she doesn't like the ones with the big screens. She'll only do HTC, and we have to stay with Sprint. So, she may have to deal with it.
If the next nexus phone comes to sprint then that will probably be my next and first choice. The fact that you can't take the battery out the evo 4g lte really really turns me away. I plan to give my evo 4g lte to my dad but something tells me I'm going to have to do some replacing of the battery because of how fast these batteries lose their charge after a while. That's gonna be a pain despite the how to videos. My second choice will be the S4 unless HTC gets there stuff together. Don't get me wrong, I like sprints variant of the one X but samsung is making their devices way more attractive lately. Always been a HTC fan but they haven't been coming through lately. Here's to hoping they listen to us.

You know sense 5 will happen on this device. Thinking this phone is gonna make the long haul. Sprint and HTC really needs to focus on a 1.5 year update policy for every device. Or maybe make it a two system update. Get 4.1-4.2, then 4.3 or next update. Or sense 4 and sense 5. Now that we arent upgrading our phones as often as we were 3 years ago, its either gonna be update to future proof the consumer investment or people will be jumping ship.

So I don't know if anyone else is thinking about getting this phone, it has caught my interest. I went to the Sprint site to see what's going on there, and they are advertising it as coming soon. I went to check my upgrade eligibility and then looked at current phones they have. To my surprise the OG Evo is selling higher than the LTE with 2-year contract. To top it off the OG is preowned. That's crazy right?
Anyways, what's everyone think of the new HTC phone?

Yea. Samsung phones have always felt cheaper to me. The interface is definitely nothing compared to sense. The only things that turn me away from the One, is that it doesn't have an expandable sd slot. Then again, neither does my iPod and I never run out of space on that. Then again, it is an Apple product. I'd like to know which developers are going to the One, that could also be a sway. Imagining Viper on it, I think HTC should hire some of our developers to perfect the interface.

Real question is does The One replace the Evo branding. I don't believe HTC would make Sprint or any carrier specific variant of The One. This is exactly what they are trying to get away from. They want 1 device on every carrier that they can market the crap out of(ala galaxy). What do you guys think about that? I love my EVO LTE, I think its superior to the GS3 and I love having a phone that people ask "what the heck is that" because it looks different. Is this the end of the EVO or just going to delay the EVO launch until the luster of The One is over??

If HTC sticks to the whole one phone for all carriers (which they would be smart to do so). Then there is no more Evo.
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!!!!
The article is on Phandroid!!
Maybe sprint will release the Htc One in late spring like the EVO 4g Lte was? We don't even have a official release date from sprint yet

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.

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.
Sent from my White Evo LTE running MeanBean, using XDA Premium
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.

Got that code to do the tradeup and I plugged in the info and it looks like the HTC Evo LTE is worth just $100 trade up for the HTC One, in case anyone was curious. Don't know how this can be of any benefit Would you be charged the full price of the phone or just $99 ($199- $100 trade up)? Would your contract with Sprint reset for 2 yrs when you got the phone? I'm still reading through the fine print.
Surprisingly the One X is $115 and the One S is $100. Shows you how much they don't value the Evo LTE. Even the old G1 is worth $100. Sad I tell you.
One is not a big upgrade over the LtE so wait for next year's phone if you need to trade in your lte

Yes. However, I bought the LTE off-contract last year, which means I have an upgrade coming up. Really don't know if I should sell the LTE and get the One or wait to see what else comes out. Hate sitting with an upgrade though.
The chipset upgrade is looking less crucial for me than back in the day, the LTE is pretty fast the way it is. So what I would be really gaining is great speaker sound, better camera (questionable), slightly better screen (but how much better is slcd2 --> slcd 3?), and Sense 5.
However, I would be losing the kickstand, dedicated camera button, menu/recent apps button, slightly smaller phone (dimension-wise, the One has more bezel, which equates to bigger phone even though they're both 4.7")
Love the chassis on the One though! But the LTE is mostly aluminum, so it doesn't make it as bad.
Can't decide!!

Get the one and keep the LTE as a backup so you can cancel your insurance

What do you think I did with the phone I had when I bought the LTE off-contract? It's a 3D by the way, and it's sitting in my office for this very reason
I for one am not impressed with the HTC One in regards to it really being worth an upgrade from the LTE
The 1st camera reviews that have come out so far have been beyond disappointing.
In due time a Dev will have the HTC One software running on the EVO LTE
After that, what would be a reason to upgrade if you are not eligible for a full upgrade?
I would also be highly disappointed if HTC no longer gives sprint an exclusive phone.
Thats one of the main reasons why I have chosen to remain with sprint (11 years) as I refuse to have a sprint phone that other carriers offer
because i know that phone performs better on their networks that have better LTE reception

Pretty much sums up how I feel. I may have to see what the beast Samsung has cooked up for the S4. Whichever version had the Exynos Octa is where I will be going.

That means you'll have neither phone.
Isn't the $100 normal for the trade in? I Thought most got that for the Evo 4g and a little more for the 3vo.

Exactly what the post says. All you have to do is read their post, it's perfectly clear English. If you don't speak English, Google can translate it for you.
EDIT:Not being rude, in case it came across that way. I'm just stating the obvious, at least what myself and others thought was obvious anyway....

English is the only language I speak.... I just don't understand what he meant by that last lte statement
It really doesn't make any sense to me.... Not to be rude... Lol

It made sense to me. He said he needs a reason to be on Sprint. He said his reason was the awesome exclusive phone. So if there's no excusivity (i.e. same phone on every carrier), then it doesn't make sense to him to be on Sprint, sense the signals are worse than the other big name carriers.
One big reason I'm on Sprint though is the price. I'm willing to suck up the signal quality for a lower phone bill.

Why do some think the One isn't an upgrade? It has a quad core and double the ram. Really, to me, it's a bigger upgrade from the LTE than the LTE was from the 3D (unless you actually have LTE). The 3D was a duo core just as our phone and with the same 1gb of ram. Hell, with the sense 4 ports it was a pretty spiffy handset. Coming to this phone from the Note 2, there is a definitive difference from a duo core processor to a quad core..I think sometimes (myself included) we don't see the next best thing as a justification for upgrade simply because we aren't eligible yet or can't afford it outright. Just my thoughts...

I don't trade in nothing... I sale my old phones for cash locally. Sold OG for $150 when I got 3d, sold 3d for $225 when I bought LTEVO retail etc
