I got sick of my BB Curve 3G that i use for work, so I picked up an HTC Surround off of Ebay for 100 bucks.
I just got it yesterday and haven't even update to7.5 yet. So far I have been impressed.
I don't see me leaving Android and my E4GT. However, it's nice to pick up another phone on another OS to play with.
If you have any WP7 questions I'll try to answer then as I get more aquainted with the os.

My mom has the lumia 900 and it's fun to toy around with, but I can't see leaving android for Windows...not customizable enough for me.

I had an old HTC HD2 lying around (probably the most-hackable phone even more than the EVO). I ran everything from GB to ICS to Ubuntu but by far the best OS was WP7.5. Runs so smooth, and the animations are beautiful.

Glad to hear your enjoying WP7. You definitely need to update to 7.5, even better. I have a Focus on ATT as a back up phone and I love the OS.
I've had six Android devices (purely a hardware choice - AMOLED, dual core, etc.) choice. I must say that ICS has changed my feelings toward Android, I actually like the look and feel of 4.04. In fact just got the GSIII and love it.
Are you considering moving from your GSII to the GSIII? The Epic Touch is a great phone but the Galaxy SIII is outstanding. Just my very humble opinion.

7.5 is a definite upgrade. I don't like it as much as 4.0.4, but it is nice and smooth.
Definitely thinking about the SGIII. My upgrade isn't until November, so we'll see what's out then.

Widows Phone. :laugh: Fun toy but not really there yet.
I have a few buddies with wp7 but I have not ever come close to thinking about leaving android. As far as customization goes android can not be beat. Windows phone is a nice alternative to the iphone, but has nothing on android. I have used both and that is a phone for novice users.

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.
No IOS is not open source
Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.
How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol
This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!
the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.
Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.
Android >>>>> apple
Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<
I Never Really Liked Apple Anyway, My Mother Always Had A Problem With Me Eating Fruits Lol

Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

Bezel = frame surrounding the screen. Like on monitors the black plastic casing around the LCD, or the iPhone, the huge black part above and below the screen.

Might be the Evo 3D. Makes sense. A pyramid is a 3 dimensional geometric shape. And those specs are similar to the Optimus 3D, so it should have powerful enough hardware to do it. Hmmm... Now, I'm kind of excited for CTIA.
It's supposed to go to TMOBILE but hopefully it goes to sprint, it's a nice ass phone.

This. It is a GSM phone and supposedly destined for TMO. Sprint is CDMA so it will not work on Sprint's network.
I've got friends and T-Mobile and their internal communications confirm that this is coming to T-Mobile but there is some confusion that it might be a multiple-standard phone (eg, GSM+CMDA) so it might come to Sprint all at the same time.
pyramid
i want this phone already.hoping and wishing and from what ive been reading going to tmobile. t mobile has to get this phone..my touch 4g is good and all but just isnt great. sprint got the evo and now the inspire for at&t and thunderbolt for verizon..i think it would be great for tmobile like it was for sprint basically attracting new customers to the carrier for the phone(evo)..ive been waiting for a phone like this and i hope it comes with tmobile
Whatever happens, I just hope Sprint gets something as slick looking as this, and of course with the awesome specs to top it all off. I love my Evo to death, but I wouldn't mind upgrading when my rebate comes up in July

battery life, my friend's 4s got it and i dont. carrying a charger wherever i go... look stupid.
My battery isn't much different than it was on my 4s, but I have the gsm version so no LTE to drain it quicker.
I don't think battery chargers have the ability to make people look smart or stupid. Intelligence is not a factor of a battery charger.

You own a GNEX. Who cares about the iPhone. If people want to use it then good for them. Either way it won't change your life. Do you really need to be assured your phone is better?
If reviewers like the iPhone better will that make you go and buy one? People use what is better for them. I actually only tell the more common sense and tech savvy people they should get an Android device. Everyone else who asks for my opinion I tell them to get an iPhone because it will be better for them. I do not give them my opinion based on what is better for me. Except my wife of course.

I'm most likely going to be getting this phone sometime in the near future and wanted to ask if anyone noticed any niggles or other nonsense that sometimes happens with Samsung Android phones (i.e. roaming notification not caring about no longer displaying the message, GPS issues, etc.)
Just quick reviews, mostly I'm looking for the little things that bug people.

+1, had a number of smartphones in the past, this one clearly blows all of my expectations away. The only issue I've had is sporadically losing connectivity to my wifi and I'm not sure if it's something I've loaded or a bug from Samsung/Sprint. My kids have the Evo LTE and Iphone 4S and I wouldn't trade for the world.
The best phone yet IMO, yes the only con I have found is data connectivity every once and awhile. LG8 radio seems better than any other. Been running jellybomb rom, superfast. Fastest phone I've owned so far, and I've had um back to the HTC Hero.

Try moving your router as far away from other electronics. As for the phone...I'm really loving it. With an extended battery( Hyperion 4200mah) in it, I'm getting almost two days off charger with 47% still left as I type this.

Its the best choice, my only gripe is maybe that I wanted quad core to dual boot Ubuntu and do my best to ditch all use of laptop or desktop. ...but ..then again despite all the quads having nicer gpus even the a15 based s4krait kinda disappointed next generation I suppose
This is kinda a crappy year for the fact they are transitioning production processes I'm really hoping the next exynos generation skips a15 all together
But yeah long story short ...it beats everything we have in the US market

best phone by far
So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.

Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.

Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint
