Will Summer 2014 bring a third-gen Evo? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I really like the Evo branding, with the kickstand and stylized red & black body. My contract is up in 2014 Spring, so I hope they push out a new EVO line around that time.
Do you think there is sufficient chance Sprint will do this? :highfive:

Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they don't fail a second time by putting the charge port in a bad place preventing the kickstand from working while charging...epic fail for HTC designers on our LTEvo.

Really? I am able to charge and use kickstand simultaneously and also use my evo. Not sure what you mean

Evol line is dead I think. Just my opinion, but they should really focus on 1 high end brand/series which looks like the ONE

The charging port being where it's at makes using docks much much easier than it being on the bottom.

---

I, too, think that the EVO line is dead. Thus has been a debate ever since the One was in the works. We might get something that is like a new Evo, and I wouldn't doubt that somebody will say that "Xxxx Phone" is the new Evo.

Then why didn't they flip the kickstand? I knew you could do that, not rocket science, thanks anyways for your two sense. The angle at which the phone sits in reverse is lower than when the kickstand is used as designed, so it is not the same. I never said they should have put the charging port at "the bottom", HTC could have simply placed the kickstand in reverse to allow the phone to charge with the cable on top and docking could still work as most docking stations won't ever use the kickstand to assist in holding the phone on the docking station.

sort of expecting an announcement end of this year or beginning of next. If anyone remembers how sprint/HTC roll there is a top tier phone every 2 years with a decent device every other year. Evo og year one, year 2 evo 3d, year 3 evo lte, year 4 HTC one (though this is better than decent)....what's for year 5? Honestly I can't really imagine anything better than the ONE so soon but, stranger things have happened. I also can't see evo's being dead. Before the galaxies, evo was the top selling series of phones for sprint. Guess we can hypothesize all night long but those are my 2 cents.

I'm fine with that but seems to early since "leaked" pictures are rolling out everywhere. Plus HTC is pushing for re branding. Could be huge things in wake. I'm kind of getting excited. Desperate times for a company who can get their chit together rather than flopping, can potentially pull of some amazing feats to leave us drooling.

lets hope not

Heaven forbid! This version was buggy enough for 2 phones.

---

The Evo line has a bad rep.
This will be the last.

---

Dumbest thread I've ever seen. What the F does it matter what name a phone has.?!
If HTC sticks to One that would be good marketing. . this Evo line is BS

What does a name matter? Go all the way back to the OG. It was special compared to it's family members on other networks. They needed upgrades to match it. That's why it matters. That's also why the OG took off and is still holding on this long after going EOL. Not named EVO it won't be purchased by me.
For that I can say that I think I read back before the One released that dropping 2 different versions of the device was costing HTC to much so now it is intended that only 1 version will be created to encompass all carriers and One is the name they liked. But Sprint is really beginning to have a bad habit of not selling a lot of the better phones so who knows how much longer they will even sell HTC. Sucks pretty bad when I gotta give up Sprint just to get a BlackBerry. Don't hope for Nokia either and with the reports coming that Apple is dropping i5 and i4 and possibly even i4s from production you may not find them much longer either. HTC better do something great to save them.

Its not Sprint's fault HTC doesn't sell. How many commercials in comparison have you seen of anything Samsung versus HTC or advertisement in general? HTC in my opinion has much better products versus just about everyone else yet no one will agree because they don't advertise worth a damn. Word of mouth is all they've been for so many years. Yeah its sorta worked but Samsung kinda surpassed by a bit. Can't wait to see how this Downey Jr thing won't go. Think HTC is more or less making a fool out of themselves with their ways of promoting devices when they should get their s together and make a convicing argument to the average consumer looking to support a new device. Eh, my 2 pennies for the jar.

The commercial they just released with him was incredibly stupid.
