Sell whatever you have right now, buy Nexus S 4G off-contract and save your upgrade for the next big thing.

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 Sprint is due for a new phone, and anything you get right now will be outdated soon.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 have the Evo 3D and honestly i have no complaints but thats up to you
Use your upgrade wisely!

I would go with a 3d just for one reason Samsung does not update there phone fast enough. My wife had her epic since day one and a few weeks ago she got 2.3. While the og evo had 2.3 six months earlyer go with HTC but that's just me

I made the line the first day the evo was launched, and I'm pretty sure I will do it again. My phone was available for a contract renewal, and I hope mi wife's will be ready too when they launch it. Today my 5 lines plan all are evos, so I think in about 6 months, my account will have 5 evo 3ds, lol.
I went to CTIA and saw it trough the glass they are showing it. Seriously, I can't wait to have that piece of device in my hands.

[Q] What Would You do?

Need some help as to which phone to keep and which to give away. I had an OG Evo and I loved it up to the day i sold it. I then purchased a Nexus. 4G and quickly fell in love with the phone. Exactly a month and a half later I bought the Evo 3d which is what I'm using now.
Now thst you have a history here's what I need help with... would you use the NS4G or Evo 3D? Take all factors into account (NS4G is rooted and evo 3d is not, NS4G is smaller and feels better in the hand whereas evo is a brick, evo has a dual core powerhouse and 3d capabilities, NS4G is single core w/ no 3d, evo runs sense (I'm def not a fan, NS4G doesn't)
Please post your feedback.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
If it was me i would say the Evo 3d . because it's more future proof with the dual core, MHL, ect. The nexus is a great phone too but i really like the evo 3d better.
I would take the EVO 3d without thinking twice but from your post, you seem to like the nexus better so I say keep the nexus, sell the 3d (you probably make more money anyway by selling the 3d)
Well...I currently own both phones as well and plan on keeping both. I've had the NS4G since it came out. Just got the E3D today and love it. Both phones have definitely advantages over the other. To the point that I dont want to get rid of my NS4G so I'll be keeping both.
Not to mention I have a tendency to switch phones rather frequently.
Well I wouldn't be buying an NS4G because I still have mine I'm just debating whether or not to return my E3D to get my upgrade back to upgrade to the new SGS II phone coming out

What's the use of dev support when you can't make anything for the phone? MIUI is easily my favorite ROM and it ran so well on the OG evo ans NS4G so I really don't know this is a hard choice!

with dev support all the good things come to the phone. i mean geez, this phone has only been out what 2 weeks. i think temporary root already means much much more to come. i am an htc fanboy so i am going to say keep the 3d but it's all a matter of personal preference. i have laughed when my htc phones get the updates and all the samsung people say "ours is right around the corner" i laughed at every epic owner that told me "i can wait a couple of days" when our evo 4g's got the gingerbread update, i don't think epic has gingerbread still(correct me if i am wrong). don't get me wrong i have seen samsung phones come out the gate blazing and have the latest and greatest but don't count on anything down the road.

New short Sprint Upgrade Promo...

So looks like Sprint is going to run a lil upgrade promo for 2 months starting next week....
http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/02/sprint-to-offer-early-upgrade-buyout-program/
Odd timing to do this imho.
Maybe they plan on releasing the nexus phone during this time and want people to buy it?....

so I talked to sprint yesterday. They told me that I could trade my evo3d in and open a new contract for a galaxy nexus and receive 99.00 credit for my evo 3d, and cancel my terms on my 3d for 61 dollars + new contract price of the galaxy nexus being 199 or 299?

Same here.
when is the nexus supposed to be released on sprint's network?
this sounds like a huge trap... d3rp.
"oh yes i will upgrade early! i have been wanting a SGS2 zomgzorz!!!!"
1 week after this promo is over.... nexus hits shelves... customers who upgraded their plan now have to pay full price if they want another phone within the next year or two.
sneaky bastards. i hate the way they do business.
They are just trying to swindle people into a new contract because most people are waiting for LTE and LTE phones, and will move on if they don't get them soon.
I mean I get the promo as it kinda sorta makes up a little bit on the whole losing of the yearly upgrade gift for Premier gold members when they kicked that program out the door.
BUT that would only be the case if it was a permanent program instead of a temporary one....
Well, I hope this is still around when the Evo 3d successor comes out. New better evo coming this summer? I had og Evo, todays Evo 3d. And eventually ill have the this years Evo. Hopefully this will help me get it.
May use this for the nexus. But I'm only 10 months in.

+1 on that. would be nice to beable to do this anytime.
I won't jump on this as appealing as the Galaxy Nexus is. For one, I know there will be some beast ass phones out in August when my contract expires. Second, Sprint has to prove to me that their network will get that much better with their network speed. I won't believe this whole "network vision" till I see it. They claim they have been making some upgrades to their 3G network already according to their network tower map but I have seen absolutely no increase in speed or coverage. I want to have faith in their LTE network but their current network really has me in doubt.
So unless they REALLY get their **** together I'm switching to Verizon. They have excellent coverage around here and a blazing fast LTE network.
Does this mean we have to trade our evo 3d's into sprint or can we sell them on ebay or whatever and use that cash to pay for the fee and the new phone we get?

I would take the early upgrade to a gnexus if lte had been confirmed for my area at all. I will stick with my 3d until lte is available or my contract is up and I have to go somewhere else

Wow the nexus is not that great. It's sammy so I prefer htc anyways but pretty much same specs but no mass storage slot. Def not a flagship imo. I would save up and wait March or July for the quads coming out. Tegra and such. htc has some pretty cool stuff planned. Just be patient. The 3vo is still best in the market hands down.

The great part about the galaxy nexus is that it will always have the latest android updates and you won't have to wait for the manufacturer and carrier to release the update.
I am interested to see what quad core phones come out.

This is pretty much how I feel, The Rezound, the Nexus, and the Note are the only thing that gets my attention, and the Rezound is what interests me, but its just my 3D with a higher res screen and LTE. The Nexus has the a larger screen but the same resolution as the Rezound, still has a 5mp cam like my 3D and is a samsung. The Note is cool except it is AT&T (I know Verizon's coming.) So it comes down to OS. I want asop ICS in one form or another, so thats the selling point. I'd go for a rezound if I had a nice cm9 or such with everything working including LTE, but still I would wish for a larger screen size, since I would feel like I still have my 3D...

What Phone Are You Coming From?

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?

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.

Read the thread " is the m7 the next EVO" and climb out from under that rock lol ...and yes I'm def getting it ...it will match my new metal i7 Asus well
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.
