Hahn Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Just pre ordered the HTC Evo from Sprint. Its the worlds first 4g phone and its android powered. only problem is most cities including Cbus dont have 4g coverage yet. still bad ass though. http://now.sprint.com/evo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Except no matter what way Sprint spins it, it isn't 4G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Except no matter what way Sprint spins it, it isn't 4G. nah they got it but only in select cities since its new. Cbus might not see it for another yr or so. but the phone itself is pretty baller. :bangbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmithotterbein Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Just called today to see if I could upgrade early to get the EVO....no good. Have to wait until Sept 1....bastards. Did they let you know that there is a $10 a month extra data charge above whatever data plan you already have? I know you said preordered, if at the store and they are on backorder, call the sales line and they can hook you up with one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a technology from the mid-2000's with a sign slapped in that says 4G. But its like the G is drawn backwards like a kids Lemonade stand, so everyone is all like "Aww, Sprint, thats so adorable, but no.". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 The phone is awesome, but WiMax is still not 4G. Its a technology from the mid-2000's with a sign slapped in that says 4G. But its like the G is drawn backwards like a kids Lemonade stand, so everyone is all like "Aww, Sprint, thats so adorable, but no.". Yup, Sprint's "faux 4g" is a rip, having the balls to charge additional for it is amazing. Hey guiz, we used this old dried up technology, available in a total of 4 square miles in america.

jsmithotterbein Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 +1 to the cheaper comment. Priced out what I currently have with Verizon, $60 more a month. Priced out At&t (really want an iphone), but that's $30 more. Either way would have to pay like 300 bones to cancel. Not worth it, gonna wait till sept. when I can upgrade. Let me know what you think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are barely holding on by a thread at this point. They lost a whole bunch of money after buying redNecktel. Although people are calling the EVO 4G the "phone thats going to save Sprint".

jsmithotterbein Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 They also bought nextel to get access to nascar....looking back was probably a dumb decision. Even if they are hanging on by a thread (debatable), Obama will take our tax payers money to bail them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 i could realy care a less if sprint is barely hanging on, as long as i keep getting my rates and kick ass phones, im a happy customer. btw i just heard that the 4g coverage will be spreading rapidly before the year is over.

Putty Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 4G Wimax haters! I will be EVO'g @ 7am on Friday. Super excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Even though its not "real" 4g by many standards it is still a good deal faster than the standard, acceptable 3G coverage, so put me in the "do-want" camp, since I tether like a summanuhbitch.
