When did Sprint start designing hardware?
You'd rather get an outdated phone over a modern spec'd phone that looks outdated?

This phone will NOT be outdated anytime soon. The EVO line has always hovered near the top spec-wise. Hell, the EVO 3D still holds up decently today. The Krait chip > the Tegra 3. It will also do very well against the GSIII, depending on which Exynos variation Samsung goes with.
For a high-end device, the Nexus, hardware wise, is slayed by the One X, which should be on par for high-end phones through Summer and Fall.
It looks fine to me. I like the One X better however the battery trade off is worth it. My only concern is SLCD2 or AMOLED? From the videos I have seen the SLCD2 would be the most important feature! Can't wait to find out more!
Edit: Also the battery looks like it may be removable. Looks to have a camera button!
Apparently the AMOLED rumor was false and it is the SLCD2. There is speculation that the color variance on the back is due to the addition of a door where the removable battery is, but I'm not so sure. I am really curious as to what is behind that little white sticker on the bottom right corner, though.

I'm not understanding all the hate. I like the design of the 1X just fine, and I think this looks absolutely STELLAR as well. Anyone who follows Android would immediately know this is an EVO based on the black slab with red accents. I think this looks absolutely fantastic, and I don't fault Sprint for sticking with the black and red color scheme on their flagship EVO devices (the Shift and Design were abberations in my opinion and not worthy of the EVO name). Bringing back the kickstand? LOVE IT. It was the greatest thing I missed when I switched from my OG EVO to the 3D. I even love that its now in the center of the phone : greater stability. Dedicated camera button to boot? Awesome. The Nexus is a nice phone, but I'm an HTC guy...I just love Sense. If my 3D wasn't so damn great, I'd pick this up on launch day for sure. And yep...I use the 3D feature all the time haters! Haha!
Also, in my opinion, removing red accents from an EVO would be the equivalent of removing the galloping pony off the grill of a Ford Mustang. It should just never happen. Nice design HTC/Sprint. I really like it.
Before you guys go running for a rope and a rickety chair to stand on, remember that pictures rarely do phone design justice. Often times you have to see it from all angles with your own eyes and hold it in your hand before you can adequately pass judgement.
Probably hiding a serial number. Personally I'm hoping its hiding the charging contacts, bit I get the feeling Sprint pulled them to save money.
I'm hoping for the same thing, but the change in the device footprint is going to make the standard HTC docks unusable.
