Sprint's HTC EVO 4G Event

will Xbox live work well on a Wimax connection?

Lets hope Sprint turns on 4G in NYC and has it running smoothly in time for launch. otherwise….it’ll run really fast on AT&T’s WIFI at Starbucks!

No matter what phones we buy there is ONE BIG PROBLEM.. In the US there is no “KILLER” carrier. All of the networks are flawed in one way or another.

Having said that.. This is one sweet ass phone..

Its a nice phone but the service fees are to expensive for me. Guess they think to much of their 4G network. When LTE is available on other carriers either we will have Sprint to thank for higher service fees on other carriers, or we will just look back at Sprint as greedy and obsolete. I’ll have to go with the Incredible or wait for the next phone.

Wonder how this will work in Orlando,fl. Also wonder if 4G will come here. if not I may have to just hold off on the 4G plan.

$10 more for 4g sucks.dan hesse promised it would be free.he lied.i think im going to get the droid incredible instead.i don’t like being lied to and dan hesse is a liar.

It’s only $69.99 plus the $10 for 4g… great deal!! not to mention the yearly upgrades they give

does anyone know if the phone has a Sim card slot, so that you can take it internationally

YES it’s a good deal, if they

A) Don’t cap the data in ANY way.

B) Don’t restrict types of traffic (like torrents)

If neither of those comes true (and honesty I don’t believe it till I see it because Sprint said originally they weren’t going to charge more for 4g), then I’ll totally get this.

when you guys are giving it away ???

No

wimax and lte should use sim cards less stress and in the background programming equals more money.

say what you wanna say about the network, but bottom-line is thats a badass phone!!

Picture looks like Dan Hesse just burned a Bob Marley sized “j” prior to the meeting. Does this phone play the Grateful Dead?

We love our phones but so many of us thing that our current carrier is the BOMB! This is a killer phone – it does soo many things that we have wanted phones to do and I’m glad to see Sprint step up to the plate. I’m glad to see someone (THANKS HTC & Google) that is maybe going to shut up Apple. For years they complained about Microsoft and the “monopoly” that they had. They have become just as bad. They think the only idea that is a good idea is theirs or was created in their think tanks. Steve Jobs has been a master of marketing and Kudos to him. But if someone doesn’t bow to King Jobs he files a lawsuit and says that he is no longer letting you play in his sandbox (Thanks Adobe for pulling Flash for Apple from your development list)

As for carriers – they all have their plus and minus points. I don’t care how many reasons you tell me that your Carrier is better than Mine the bottom line is we choose carriers based on either phone selection (iPhone Users), Coverage (VZW – really – it doesn’t work at my house while Sprint does and to be honest if I traveled Internationally very often I can’t beat ATT or T-Mobile), or Value (T-Mobile & Sprint kick Big Red and Blues A$$).

Personally I’ve had all 4 Major Carriers and found that Sprint works for me (plus did you forget that it roams to VZW, granted only on to 2G, when I can’t get Sprint Coverage which is very rare and usually when I’m wanting to be left alone). (AT&T didn’t work in my office Building, VZW made me feel like they were doing me a favor when their phones were outdated and locked down and OVER PRICED, & T-Mobile didn’t work in the very well in my area)

I’m not sure why ATT & VZW lovers are stuck on the $10.00 a month increase (I’m with Sprint and still view this as a STEAL) for UNLIMITED DATA (this doesn’t even include access to a growing 4G network)to be included with UNLIMITED Mobile to Mobile, UNLIMITED Text Messaging, UNLIMITED Navigation (I’m assuming you’ll both TeleNAV through Sprint Navigation and Google Navigation), UNLIMITED Sprint TV (Sad they lost the NFL but Still get a great Selection of Channels).

A COMPARABLE PLAN FROM AT&T & VZW IS MORE THAN $120 PER MONTH (remember this is before taxes and fees so the difference between ATT/VZW & Sprint is even more) T-Mobile is the only other Carrier that can compete for Sprint on Value.

Now that I’ve bored you and hopeully shut up the morons that have have to call AT&T or VZW customer service EVERY STINKING MONTH because their bill is more than they expected (because you had to add text,

Gotta love when you 18 month old pounds the keyboard!!!

To Conclude (see my earlier post):
Now that I’ve bored you and hopeully shut up the morons that have have to call AT&T or VZW customer service EVERY STINKING MONTH because their bill is more than they expected (because you had to add text, data, etc…) Please do not try and compare a VZW or AT&T plan to Sprints – they are not the same! Please look at this phone for what it is. A Game Changer!!! Google with its open source programing and getting phone manufacture to develope handsets with great hardware will help evolve the cellular industry. IF you want to have all the fun this phone has to offer – you might have to poney up an extra $10.00 and maybe go with out a couple of Starbucks coffee’s a month.

It sucks that there is a mandatory $10 charge even if there is no 4G near you, but overall the cheapest plan is still only $80 and includes unlimited texting, GPS (if for some reason you wanted to use Sprint’s GPS, Google Navigation is of course free), and unlimited calls to cell phones (which is the vast majority of the calls I make)

Dear Sprint
Please fire this guy.. he’s an idiot.. and get more and wider selection of phones.
Why don’t you have a phone with 3g and 3.6″ screen that doesn’t require upgrading to a 4g data plan?
What reason could there possibly be for that?
You want to lose more customers?
You hate your customers?
Your heads in a very dark place?

Im in Atlanta and Just reserved mines today!! Maybe I’ll get insurance.

this phone is F’n awsome and i think the prices will be worth while only 2 problems tho i wish i could use it itnernationally and (if this is true) i dont think i should have to pay a mandatory 10$ for 4g when i cant even use it i think thats some bs cause 10$ even tho 10 dollars may not seem like alot but it adds up and that 120 i wasted on a 4g network that i cant use coulda went to a bill or something

Question on tethering and mobile hotspot. I have both functions now with the Touch Diamond without additional charges at the 69.99 rate. How do they monitor this especially with all the third party applications? I paid for 3rd party apps to give me these services on WM6. Will Sprint monitor via its own application or can you just buy an app to take care of these functions that will not incur a monthly fee. 30 bucks for tethering and mobile hotspot is a bit much, especially for those that rarely need these services.

The 69.99 plan is not Unlimited for Voice, it starts with 450 voice minutes, and unlimited Text, and Data. It’s called the everything data 450.
