HTC Jet (HTC Once X) Coming to Sprint

[Jackson Galaxy]

Just got the following e-mail. Can't confirm anything, so I'll just put it out there:



So a couple thoughts here. ... The Krait proc isn't surprising, since int'll be an LTE device. That's a much bigger batter than what's spec'd on the other One X's, right? So a thicker phone? 16GB of storage? Booooooo. AMOLED display? That's different than the One X, too. Kickstand? Eh, OK.

Thoughts? I'll be at the launch event next week.

I'd trade 10GB of storage for an extra 850 mAh of battery.

Is it true does it really have a much bigger battery an sd slot and a kickstand? I guess a memory slot is good since it only has 16.I have a 16 gig card in my Evo 3D now but I would rather have a removable battery. But Kickstand I really hope if not I'll buy a Seidio kickstand case like I have now and I'll buy there charging vault.

Can't Booo 16GB of Storage... when there IS MICRO SD SLOT! WOoooooO!.....if it was 16 with no slot it would be different.

And a 2650 MAH?.... I'd take it.

Dat battery! I hope so, if the Nexus ends up being the same old Nexus and not the rumored updated one I might have to get this.

I still have the original EVO 4G and have been looking for a replacement as I can renew on April 1. Too bad this isn't available until June though.

I doubt the entire design of the phone will change for one carrier. Not saying it isn't possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath, either.

The EVO was basically the Nexus One/Desire and they certainly changed it significantly for one carrier.

On top of that, the 2500MHz LTE radio in the Sprint devices might as well be as different from the 700MHz band that AT&T/Verizon are in as WiMax was. This may give them some room on the drawing board to innovate.

And the EVO has always been the HALO device above the HERO, just like the 3D had more RAM and 3D over the Sensation, and the original EVO had the first 4G radio in the West+ front facing/8MP camera +kickstand, when the Desire only had 5MP and no FFC. And even the Desire HD lacked FFC, that chasis did not get another device with FFC until the Thunderbolt.

Sprint's LTE will initially be on the 1900MHz band, the 2500MHz band is what CLEAR will be utilizing in the future for LTE.

I sit corrected. Either way, it is missing the much loved building penetration of my Thunderbolt.

Well they were the only ones to put a keyboard on the Galaxy S, so that's a pretty big change. I believe Phil's email since that's also what I've heard from HTC so it sounds like a done deal, but they have made changes in the past. I think Sprint would have preferred a removable one if they could get it, I think this was more HTC's doing, with their new initiative of wanting to keep the phone variations to a minimum

Hmm things just got interesting. Nexus or HTC Evo One?? That is the question

HTC unless you need a removable battery, or if you hate Sense and won't be rooting it

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

If Phil's email is true then it makes me wish they would bring the bigger battery to other carriers, too.

 

[wyrdangel]

Anyone have concerns about the screen-type being different...is that is plus or a minus?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

wow...if this is true, ATT customers should be pissed. What a rip off. Bigger battery and a SD Slot? Argg

 

[michikade#AC]

Wow, Phil, that email is incredible. Looking forward to finding out if it's true.

Don't need a removable battery if they give you 2650 mah

 

[benny3]

come on sprint and HTC show us some love

I think its gotta be some confusion there. There is NO WAY they just put in the regular Amoled screen. At the very least I'd imagine they use the one from the Galaxy Nexus which was Super Amoled HD...
Though if screen size is the same as the OneX you have to question why they would change to that screen and NOT keep it at SLCD2 as that has been just praised upon from most of the reviewers I've read thus far..

regardless we will know in a week...
