I would go for the amaze 4g. Slider phones always seem to have problems with the flex cable inside, and an all touch phone obviously would not have that sort of problem. All touch phones also seem to have better/more variety of cases. Plus the amaze 4g has a qhd screen rather than a lower resolution wvga. For me though, im actually considering the galaxy s II instead of the amaze 4g for my upgrade, but both are good phones.
Thanks for the input.
And due to tmo not letting me upgrade yet, anyone selling a mt3gs?
All I can say is that I upgraded from the Slide to the Amaze and I love this phone.

So I was thinking about getting the GS24G but I have no 4G coverage in my area. I know this could be considered the best phone on the market but would you pick it up if you have no 4G coverage? That's my deciding factor. This is a beast of a phone but I do not know if I want to be stuck with Sprint's 3G coverage.
I have the E4GT and don't get 4G. Thankfully Sprints network, regarding 3G isn't too bad where I live.

There is no 4G where I live (40 miles north of Los Angeles) but EVERYWHERE else there is and I have never really *had* to use 4G. 3G is plenty good.
Best. Phone. Ever. ET4G!

I'm in a 4G saturated area and I never have 4G, big deal. I wouldn't use it for browsing...it isn't that much faster for browsing. If I had a big download I would use it, it makes a giant difference for that...but I keep it off even if I could get it cuz my battery is far more important than 4G to me. Shaving 3 or 4 hours off of my battery to shave 1 or 2 seconds off of every page load just ain't worth it to me.
Sprint's 4G speed is not that great to me.In my area I get around 8mb with a MyTouch 4G and almost 20 on a Thunderbolt. Sprint's 3G gets me half a mb if I'm lucky. I def want the ET4G but I'm trying to weigh whether the phone is that much better than anything else to put up with the 3G speeds.
If any of you guys have a Photon. What do you prefer?

Ive had the photon, evo 3d, and now the epic touch
Photon had great reception for calls vs evo 3d... But I epic touch wins
Data in my area was faster with the photon but the epic.touch still beats the 3d...
And gps on.all three seems better than last years line up
I hated the.shape of the photon but loved the dedicated camera buttons on the 3d and.photon... But the epic touch is still faster better.screen and thinner..... I dunnk thats my first opinion of all three hope it helps...

I wouldn't come to Sprint just for a phone. The network sucks and gets worse every day. I left them last week.
What company did you go to. What phone did you get?
I've had AT&T and Sprint both for a while now. AT&T for work and Sprint for personal. I'm using a Captivate on AT&T and my account has unlimited data. Over the past few months I've been comparing the Captivate to the Epic around many different places in town and the Captivate always wins out for speed and reliability. Running CM7 with the i9000 modem the data is pretty fast and battery life is almost double what I was getting with the Epic. What prompted me to start considering this was the fact that Sprint started screwing people out of their annual upgrades back in April. They changed the criteria of what qualified you so barely any one qualified any more. Network coverage has been getting worse since they did that as well. So I'm using my work phone for personal use now with a google voice number to keep things separated. Dad ported out to Verizon and gets better coverage and call quality is so much better which I attribute to 50/50 phone and network. Wife is still on Sprint till the next best keyboard phone comes out. She'll probably ride out her Epic till it explodes then we'll figure it out.
Would getting a Rezound with an off contract price and only using the 3G until my area gets some 4G love worth it.
Or should I just stick with my Dinc and/or get the best 3G phone my area has to offer.
I live on Guam and 4G isn't gonna be implemented any time soon, to my knowledge.
I've been asking about updates/upgrade to the network here and they say it'll happen but not anytime soon...
Yeah, I obviously chose the Rezound over the Nexus, I am hooked on Sense!!!
The few phones I have to choose here if I don't get the Rezound are:
1. Evo 3D
2. Dinc 2
3. Droid X2
I would choose the Evo 3D but think 3D in general is a gimmick but it would be cheaper than getting a off contract priced Rezound.
That is pretty much it, any comments are greatly apreciatated.
You have to think about the hardware and software. The new phones are fast as flash. But about internet speed it might be a little bit faster but I don't know I'm still rocking my Dinc

I don't have 4G either but I upgraded to a nexus. I'm sorta luke warm about it. IMHO all the current line of CDMA Andoid phones a one flaw or another largely specific to each manufacturer.
Razr/MOTO-No removable battery-Locked bootloader-best CMDA Radio
Rezound/HTC-Battery only 1350-fat and heavy-no HDMI-HTC bluetooth stack sucks(PS3/Wii controllers)HTC CDMA Radio So-So
GN/Samsung: No SD card slot, Samsung CDMA radio is poor.
Sorry some of these models aren't on your list but this is what I've had in hand and done research on.
Okay guys,
Thanks for all your input.
However I am suffering quite a big ordeal, well for me at least.
I went ahead and bought an HTC Thunderbolt but I can't use it.
It's just a very fast mini tablet right now that is rooted with Zues.
My carrier is unable to activate it but there is one thing that might work, there is a hack or something that would make it work. They *carrier** say that if the hack is done the 3G won't stick and/or the sms or voice or something like that won't work properly.
I've done my research and I assumed that since my Dinc runs with the same 3G interface as the Tbolt's that I wouldn't have a problem at all. I even asked around even asked the Wirefly ppl about it, they said shouldn't be a problem as long as the CDMA freqs are the same.
Anyways, looking at the phone lists that my carriers offer and after further inspection those most if not all they offer are Sprint phones. How could this be, they offer Verizon type phones and they offer Sprint type phones, what are they doing to able to do this.
In spite of the 3D gimmick, I think I will go with an EVO 3D it's the fastest phone on my carrier or I think it is. What would you suggest, I would have to pay 3xx for the phone.
So now, I gotta find a buyer for the Tbolt recoup from my loss and get a phone.
hey all! Long time Sprint HTC EVO 4g user, since day 1!
a few of my close friends have the nexus and iv been really wanting to get it but its not out yet for sprint. i heard its coming out for sprint later in the year and i was wondering if i should dead my HTC EVO and go to the nexus? or wait for the NEXT better phone to come out.

If I was you I would switch to Verizon and get the nexus and experience the true LTE as sprints 3g is just plain horrible and their wimax is non-existant, I also bet sprint will never roll out LTE and it'll just be another wimax story all over again. I had sprint, the worst mistake of my life ever.

iv had sprint for a VERY long time and i have never had any problems with them. The 3g speed could be faster but i deal with it. the main reason i have sprint is because my job pays for half my family plan bill because my company has a contract with sprint.
I'd wait for the S3 mate. Its not too far away now. You're too close to its release to get a Nexus now!
But up to you at the end of the day
I'd concur with winwiz.
The GSIII will mostly get a better screen (not pentile, although I don't see a damn difference myself but eh.), maybe a real gorilla glass, and I think they confirmed the water-resistance (saw it on Gizmodo, don't know if it's really solid).
Hey do you guys think may 31 when boost comes out with 4g and the HTC Design 4g i will have to switch phones because i flash my HTC EVO 4g to boost awhile ago. Or do you guys think it will just become part of a plan and just wait till someone post then 4g APN like how you used to get 4g by going in EPST and change sprint to clear-wmx.net???????????????????
No 4G settings are unique not universal.
People may use 4G profiles from the EVO Design to get 4G on OG EVOs because of the amount of ROMs the OG EVO has compared to the few ROMs the EVO Design has.
So what your saying is im going to probably have to get the HTC Design to get 4g on boost
You will absolutely need to get a Design to get 4G.
Similar to how a 3G enabled boost donor phone is required to get 3G on a boosted EVO.
The dude at boost mobile sated 4G is coming to the og soon he said. I live in west palm beach Florida so it may be different but less than 58days its coming.

If u have hspa+ coverage (like Tmo) get Simple Mobile. Unlock & use any compat phone. I'm friggin loving it. Dumping VZ was a great day lol. I found u don't even have to unlock a Tmo phone. Just put in the APN for SM and ur good. Love it! I unlocked the doubleshot anyway tho

I know a lot of ppl have switched from the evo lte to the sg3 due to the lte connectivity issue. I have the opportunity to do the same this afternoon and was just wondering if anyone else has done it and if so are you happy you did? Does the sg3 really keep and hold lte connection better? I've been an HTC/sense person since the og evo and I'm willing to drop it if the lte is truly that much better. Not sure how I feel about TW but then again there is always a sip for that. Thanks so much

I am in the same boat as you. I'm meeting up with someone tomorrow to buy a gs3. I have gotten a few good opinions from people that have owned both phones and are very happy that they switched. I feel like I am making the right move, at the same time it's a hard switch. I also have been an htc guy since the og evo, I had one of the first galaxy phones and I hated it, the gs3 seems to be a sweet phone though. I think Samsung has fixed things like reception and gps. I am going to miss Sense though.
I have both phones and there is a definite difference in LTE reception. The s3 connects to LTE anywhere inside my house. With the Evo I have to take it outside to get a connection and even then its not as stable and as soon as I walk back inside the connection drops.
You do know that if you complain to sprint and they can replicate the lte connection issue they will swap the lte for the sg3. That's what I doing. Talked to sprint supervisor for twenty minutes last night he said the corporate store would just swap it. No need to buy a sg3 unless you just want both phones.

Well I'm in Denver, we don't have lte here yet so I can't really go that route. I'm more fed up with a poorly designed proximity sensor and bad multitasking. I used to buy htc because they worked correctly right out of the box and I feel like they dropped the ball on this one. I'll either sell my evo or give it to the wife since she has a evo design.
I made the switch just over week ago and I am happy I did. There are certain things about the EVO LTE that I like better. (Email app, Camera) but the multitasking on the GS3 is way better. For example. I stream Pandora in the car almost 100% of the time. If I had to take a call and the call lasted more than 2 minutes, Pandora would have to reload the station or I would have to manually restart the app. On the GS3 it resumes music right where it left off. Sense would occasionally reload and sometimes lag. I have had no reloads or lag on the GS3.
LTE connection is better also. GS3 connects to LTE signal faster when I enter an LTE area, and it has LTE signal where the EVO does not even pick it up. I still have the EVO active on another line, and I have done LTE comparisons over the past week when I am out in the car. GS3 was a good switch for me.
Make the switch it will be the best decision you ever made I had the evo had many problems went thru 3 different phones so glad I switched to the s3 much easier to root a lot more development for the phone if thats your kind of thing, the only thing I like better on the Evo is if you wanted to print a PDF document you can do it with the stock rom the Galaxy s3 will only do printing to a Samsung printer unless you buy a after market app like printbot, or something like that doesn't work as good as stock on evo.

Agreed make the switch...I had two evo lte's gave mine to my son when i got a gs3...I called sprint and they swapped out the two evos (my wife and sons)..now we all have the gs3 and couldn'tbe more happier.. the evos just didn't hold 4g lte at all. When I took them to the sprint store they did a side by side comparison in signal and swapped them out immediately. .loving this phone. ..

I carried an EVO for 2 years. Loved HTC. Sammy had let me down with a few smart phones, both android and Winmo. I went through 2 different EVO LTE phones, and had terrible reception problems with both. Full bars with EVO, zero bars, no signal, and wouldn't switch to roaming with the LTE. Both were active. Checked out my buddies GS3 one day to make sure that the GPS and cellular radios were good. Bought one about 3 weeks after launch. Had to wait for BB to get the pebble blue in stock. Most wonderful phone that I have ever owned. I thought that my EVO was irreplaceable.....I was wrong. Handed EVO down to wife. She wants my Sammy, just as much as my daughter.
LOVE MY GS3!

My wife has been asking the same question she has the LTE and I have the S3 she likes it but she gets upset that my phone will connect to 4G and hers won't even when sitting them side by side. She is probably going to be making the switch tomorrow.
Everyone's making the switch tomorrow it seems... Is it because the GS3 is going to be 50$?
How did you guys get them to swich the let for thr SG3, ive been Having the lte since the dayvit came out and have been trying to figure out a way to get sprint to swap it for the sg3
