Jump ship when I have the first phone with 4g? although my phone has never seen 4g and probably never will. Too bad it can not run on LTE. Verizon has their networks up before their phones are release, Sprint went kind of backwards on this one for some.
I have no problems with Sprint service, and Im on a great affordable plan. Im sure sprint will get some new flagship phones over the summer.
No. I currently have the best plans on the market, so I don't see the logic in spending more for less with another provider. Besides, I have a feeling Sprint is gonna surprise us in a good way, come June.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

Nope no reason to replace my EVO....
I dumped my iPhone 4 for the EVO!!! Sprints network is better than AT&T for my area anyway. I just can't wait for them to roll out 4G service in AZ. I do wish the EVO had better battery life though......
Plus if you do a service plan comparison Sprint has the better plans.......
I won't be leaving sprint anytime soon, and if i do it will be because of coverage more than a particular phone.
If in a year or two Sprint doesn't switch to LTE or at least get some better spectrum for wimax, I'll probably leave.
Verizon and I believe ATT will be using some of the 700Mhz spectrum for LTE and that is the only game changer for me...but their plans are expensive and I don't think their customer service is as good as Sprint.
I saw a recent review in a magazine at the doctors office that pointed out that AT&T had the worst reviews for customer service and cell service.
On the other hand it Sprint has been recognized for their strides in providing better service and better signal.
I had Verizon for a short period of time this year. I don't expect that much has changed with their customer service or their rate plans. They are very ineffective at customer service and seem to just not care about it. With out making this post a novel, Let's just say they couldn't even show me my bill in a store.
I have had Sprint's flagship since June when it was released ... with their rate plans for the Evo and other 4G phones there is no way that I would consider leaving then as a customer.

You should try the myns Rom and some kernels to change that battery life.. mine is like excellent.. way better than ever and I'm not exaggeration.. and I'm a heavy user.
Leaving a network just for a phone is silly, since every network will get a better phone than the one you have sooner or later. Leaving because of costs/coverage? That at least makes sense.

ack, another mynion
lol cant help it.. anyways yea man verizon wanted a $500 deposit for my line.. i had no credit.. and att wanted $400..
sprint didnt ask for anything =) lol..
Why would I jump ship, I'm not easily swayed by everything that glitters. Plus I get good service and plan.
To sum it up, HELL TO THE NO.....

Label it whatever you want, silly, traitor, etc. but that new monster Motorola Atrix phone shown at CES this year seriously has my nipples fully erect. that thing is just a beast. i really hate all the other cell providers(various fees, caps, coverage, etc) but damn, thats an awesome phone!
I'm leaving Sprint and the EVO... but only because I'm moving someplace with no Sprint... blah
Im gonna sit out this contract not because of money, but because the next big thing is dual cores. Till I see an awesome dual core im not jumping anywhere.

Nope! I left Verizon for a reason. Their prices are ridiculously high for less! My Evo will have a very good shelf life, sprint should be rolling something out of their sleeve soon anyways.

Best reply of the post.
No... I have the best priced plan with one of the top available phones and get full 4g at work constantly for tethering when needed sparingly on my laptop. Bought my EVO of craigslist, by contract expires after June 27th and still will stick with Sprint after that.
I have a contract from when I bought my hero, paid out of pocket for my evo and had it replace my hero, I will gladly pay out of pocket again for the evo 2, I like sprint, I like my 4.3 inch screen, if I can keep those 2 with an upgrade I will, but dangle whatever phone you want to in front of me and unless it's sprint with 4.3 or bigger I won't care the least
no phone can tempt me for the 100 a month we are saving (vs verizon)
Hello to all my wonderful people of XDA,
I have a question that I need answered. I have recently reached my full $150 upgrade for Sprint and have noticed some pretty cool phones are out. I currently have the EVO 4G, running the 07/22 MIUI and LOVING MY PHONE currently. However my addiction to having the latest and greatest is killing me. I am not interested in the EVO 3D as everything I have read, if you already have a EVO don't bother. However I recently seen the Motorola Photon and must say it is pretty impressive. I have also read about the Galaxy S II that is coming out and suppose to be awesome as well.
My question for you awesome people is, what should I do. Should I grab the Photon (even though there is no ROM's available). Or should I wait for something else. Please any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
I was/am considering buying the Photon. I found someone who is going to buy my EVO and I too have the $150 off deal with 2 year agreement.
However, from what I've been reading, the Sprint version of the S II might be called the Epic Touch 4G and it might be available in September.
So, I am waiting a few more weeks to sell my EVO then head to the Sprint store and look at both of the phones side by side. I'll more than likely get the SGSII

I am thinking of the same thing. I'm pretty sure I can sell my EVO for the $200 that the Photon will cost. I had a chance to play with the Photon on Saturday and the Dual Core is pretty slick. The phone was very responsive (IPhone what???). Anothing deciding factor is, will it be a phone and program that will gain the attention of the XDA Developers. Coming from a Hero and then a Evo, I had several options. Time will only tell. Good luck to us both with the decision!!!!
Hey all...
Just curious since I know most of us Evo 4g users are coming up on 2 years with this phone, what would you choose as a replacement phone if you had to? I am looking around and I find absolutely nothing with Sprint that I am willing to change to. So, what would you upgrade to if you absolutely had to? I have 3 evo's on my account right now, and I am thinking I just keep the evo... with all the awesomeness here at XDA, the damn phone does what I want it to. Sure, it may not be the fastest thing on the planet, but if I need to do something, my phone most likely can....
So, gimme some opinions!
Galaxy S2, super amoled screen...

Right now, nothing. There is no point in upgrading to a new phone now when the new 4g LTE phones should be rolling out this summer.

I got the Galaxy 2, Evo and Evo3D and I must admit the Epic Touch as its called is a hell of a phone. The Evo3D battery life is not as bad as I thought it would be also but if you have to get another phone look into the Epic Touch and you wont be disappointed. They are working on CM7 and MiUI as we speak. Also the whole LTE thing is not that big of a deal since they are not abandoning Wimax. If thats a problem then just trade for the phone or buy one off of Craigslist and preserve your upgrade
If I had to it would be an evo3d but i would rather wait till the lte line up came out
Honestly every time I start looking at phones I usually give up because all I want is a current Developer phone on the Sprint Network. I have 3 Evo's on my plan, one started out as a Nexus S, but due to antenna reception issues that was replaced by an Evo. I want a Nexus phone, but it has to be on Sprint, and I don't want the S....I think I'll be waiting a while.
I heard one guy singing praises about the Motorolla Photon but I heard that it doesn't have GPS or something like that.

I'm waiting for the next Evo. I hope our current devs upgrade this summer and current 3d devs upgrade shortly after.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
We added a Samsung Galaxy S 2 and it looks great and is a lot faster..but I would agree with others saying I'd wait until they came out with a 4G LTE phone...
I have been trying to find rumors on what sprint is going to have with LTE and see nothing... I like the Nexus, but I am staying with sprint due to the data plan, but frankly, they are going back to how they once were, where they get the crap phones first and the good ones take a year or more, if they get them at all. I know they are pushing the iphone now, but I do hope they remember those of us that will never go to an apple phone after having an Android.
Rumor has it the note is coming. If that tickles your fancy.
Whatever has the most development. Probably Galaxy Nexus.

If I lost this evo today and had to choose a different replacement, I'd go with the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic.

my upgrade is in october '12
hopefully the moto razr maxx with quad core and lte comes to sprint then
I'm Getting the lte galaxy nexus that was announced for sprint yesterday. I have to wait tell may but it should be out by then.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
The next must have phone for Sprint would be the Galaxy Nexus!
im gonna have to say galaxy nexus
The 2 phones I've got my eye on are the Epic Touch and the Galaxy Nexus.
My biggest complaint with the Nexus is that the camera is 5mp. Plus, I don't know if LTE will be coming here and I don't know if I necessarily want to give up the Wimax.
went from evo to epic 4g touch haven't been sorry the new nexus is coming to sprint and will be 4g lte so thats a good option.
If I had to choose right now it would be the Galaxy S2 ......but the summer is right around the corner

Hi guys!!!!! I've missed my EVO!!! Since then I've go.e through like 8 smart phones but I miss this one the most, the development for this phone was insane, so with the new EVO coming out, will a lot of you devs that made the of EVO get it? I was considering getting the one x from at&t but after at&t tampered with it......yea its horrible
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Go to the General section of this forum. There's like four threads devoted to this topic. Some good information on what devs are going to the new EVO too.
I'm definitely getting it. I hope miui makes it an official device.
I would if I was still with sprint and there internet actually worked. Lte will probably not be in my area for another year or two so I switched to Verizon that has had it almost a year. Sprint is the only major carrier that doesn't have 4g in my area....... Even metro POS has it ( because they use verizons LTE but still)

Depends on Sprint and their network roll out. I'm not upgrade eligible until Nov/Dec, if the network hasn't done anything I'm just gonna keep flashing my Evo out of contract until they get my area up and running.

this is my plan exactly
ehh probably not
It kills me to see they brought the kick stand back but then pulled the rug from underneath by not having a removable battery. I mean come on, I love the fact that I can just swap the battery out and be back at 100 percent in just a few minutes. Having to be plugged in for a charge totally blows, especially when you are always on the move.
Returned evo lte due to data dropouts and crap reception for the photon with hopes of getting the gs3. Will the gs3 have similar data issues due to the new 4g radios in these new sprint phones? So far the photon reception is insane.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I think most people would agree that the Photon is well known among Sprint phones to be the champion when it comes to reception. If you're hoping for reception like it had in the GS3, I wouldn't hold your breath. I had the EVO LTE before the GS3 & the reception was about the same between the two. Samsung did do us a service in improving the radio slightly in the GS3 over the GS2 though. I get approximately 2-3 dBm better reception with my GS3 over my GS2 in the same spots. YMMV.

As far as cdma Motorola has a patent that allows them superior radio quality. Does anyone know one that patent will expire? Lol
Should I stick it out with the photon and skip on the gs3?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Dude, the SGS3 is the pinnacle of smartphone hardware you can own in the WORLD, regardless of network, right now. It is an amazing piece of technology. Like I said, if you expect to see reception like you do with the Photon, that's probably going to be a pipe dream. But I think you'd be crazy not to at least try it out. Am I biased? Yeah, mostly!

Great time for a return. Verizon SGSIII should be out shortly, return that Photon, pick up that SGSIII should receive equal to +/- reception and you'll be in excellent condition. I couldn't do the EVO LTE, looking forward to Verizon, again :good:.

Just got off the phone with best buy and according to them, I should get the gs3 right away since I preordered which should be in my 30 day return policy with best buy. Ill give it a shot and if I see the same poor reception as the evo lte, Ill go back to the photon. As far as going back to verizon, not happening, I just did an assumption of liability with some one on xda an gave up my unlimited. Couldn't justify spending 150 a month for three lines with only one smartphone, 700 minutes, and only 200 text per line. Now I'm spending about 165 for all three lines two of which are iphones for my wife an mother in law. On the 1500 data unlimited. Sprint in my area is fine for service and will only improve as they make network upgrades plus I should be grandfathered in my current plan if they ever decide to change policy. Again this is all speculation, not fact. Here's to hoping the gs3 doesn't drop data the way the beautifully designed evo lte did.

I agree, Sprint ftw! Also, the EVO LTE is beautiful, but once you have the GS3 in hand I doubt you'll be disappointed from a design perspective. It's gorgeous & also more comfortable to hold IMHO. Hopefully the signal strength will be better for you, too! Good luck in your endeavor.

I don't know maybe it was a fluke thing with being defective, like I said if the gs3 fails in that dept ill be back to the photon. This sucks!

I have the evo lte currently and was thinking of getting the sgs3 also. I went into t-mobile store today to play with one and I wasn't exactly blown away by it. device looks odd because of the really rounded corners. I compared screen sizes and could barely see the difference. I still can't decide
I think both phones are excellent phones and the which one is better, is a silly argument. Ultimately both phones will tackle just about any task you throw at it and any performance differences will be minimal.

Reason why I switch wasn't much cause I didn't like my Evo but more because sprint service really not good most of the time, I had to let it go but the GS3 is a really great device tho

I had the evo lte and returned it due to poor reception and other issues. I've had much better results with the gs3. I also owned the photon before and while the gs3 is not quite as good as the photon, I'd say in 90% of areas I am in, there is no noticeable difference in reception.

Dav, you get what you pay for... I'm with Sprint and I put a pre-orders for 2 S3 with Verizon. I cant even load Google maps while on the train here in LI NY. IMO after Sprint went with the iPhone my speed went from awesome to pure garbage, yes, you get unlimited but what good does it make if you can't even stream a song without skip.
If you want to check how Sprint is doing where you live try check here network.sprint.com
on LI too! Ditched sprint all together, cant justify spending $225 for service thats barely there. Giving t mobile a shot and if that doesnt work, im going back to a pager and some pocket change for a payphone! Im still in my 14 day return period with sprint and was able to port my numbers over, got three lines with 1000 minutes unlimited text, 2gb high speed data with the unlimited slow 3g thing. went with the one s for myself and two nokia lumia 710's for my wife and mother in law at $145 a month. Anything above $150 is pushing it with theses greedy cell companies. Att wanted $200 for something similar to sprint and verizon is about $190. I know a few people with t mobile on LI that say service is fine.

Really? The one s is nice but after using galaxy nexus and evo my eyes would actually get tired after reading for while, that's why I changed and also some apps don't look as updated as the evo ones, like the mail and contacts, when you swype the bottom part in the contacts apps you don't get the cool animation, and the email app wouldn't display some stuff correctly, nice phone tho, really thin device
