**NEPatriot4Life** · 01-17-2011, 11:27 AM

I keep hear rumor that there will be EVO 2 sometime late this year.... Anyone heard the same thing ??? Or am I just day dream ha

**Balthazar B** · 01-17-2011, 12:05 PM

You am just day dream ha. Maybe.

**tropper** · 01-17-2011, 01:38 PM

where didja hear the rumor?
seems wierd sprint releases the the evo shift, then evo2 ?

**SdotJ** · 01-18-2011, 05:38 PM

The only place I have heard any mention of a HTC evo 2 has been in the forums. If one is coming they sure are being tight lipped about it.

Of course an EVO 2 is coming

It has been Sprints most successful phone in a long time and is their flagship phone. Why would they suddenly abandon everything and not make a sequel??

If anything Sprint will follow the same formula they did with the original EVO which is announce the phone at CTIA in march and release it sometime in June just when all the original EVO owners are due for an upgrade

I agree with your reasoning, but alas with the new upgrade policy, many EVO owners will not be eligible for an upgrade this June! I've been with Sprint for about eleven years, so I am golden, fortunately!

Sprint already said more EVO branded phones are on the way. I'm sure they will all be 4g/high end as well

**agill711** · 01-31-2011, 08:02 PM

the guy in cell phones, at best buy, said that a sprint rep came to the store and said that the evo 2 is coming soon.

That formula is a bit odd this year since Sprint is having a special even next monday, on Feb 7th which is before CTIA and even before MWC. Last year they had an event introducing the Evo just about a month before it was released, and then they gave like 5000 of them away to all attendees of Goggle IO. Not sure what to make of it all. Is it monday yet??

**bkorver** · 02-01-2011, 12:13 PM

HTC Saga. Just throwing that out there with absolutely nothing to back it up.... Hopefully MWC will shed some light on this phone.

This article describes what I think most of us are hoping for...

Seems like they confused the Evo with the Incredible when they talked about device shortage due to AMOLED screen...

And HTC using Tegra chips over Snapdragons? Not sure how likely that is, but it would be great having Sense, and having a phone that can access Tegra Zone for all the cool games!

Technically they still would be able to upgrade, though they wouldn't get the full discount until 22 mos.

Personally, I think 3D on a phone device is rather stupid. But hey, to each their own. As long as the 3D can be disabled it has potential. We shall find out next week. Hopefully it's not something lame...er NEW like details on their global 4G roaming.

Also, I like Sense, but I would really like to see HTC make it optional. Allow the user to buy the device and if they want to run stock android, they can do so (without having to root the phone), or opt for the Sense interface. One device that can appeal to both crowds.

I am actually still confused about how 3d on a phone is supposed to work. I am going to guess that the whole UI is not going to be in 3d, only select applications like the video player and games. I would definitely want a live demo before I spend the extra money on a 3d phone. If however, we don't have a choice, then so be it....always cool to demo it to an iPhone user for a few mins, and who knows, maybe it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

The HTC EVO 2 is coming. Whether its later this year or sometime next year I do not know. Iam a Telecommunications Broker and also have a bit of relations with people in all the major wireless sector. I have gotten word from more than 1 Sprint wireless franchise owners including a couple managers that they are in the build for the HTC EVO 2 which is supposed to run a faster proccessor and run 1080p, Instead of the 720 currently. Remember with all good phones that break records and is desirable there will always be another version that will come to replace it. That is a fact. Droid 1-Droid 2-Droid 2 Global is a great example. But Sprint wont spit out new versions like VZ did. They made the phone right the first time.

Hope It has Full hdmi out!

**ramonm2** · 02-23-2011, 10:13 PM

HTC Hero2

**Officerpolabear** · 03-01-2011, 12:38 AM

I doubt Sprint will abandon the Evo, their most successful phone ever (although I own an Epic OC 1.2ghz

).
Sprint= Evo line
Verizon= Droid line
T-Mobile= Mytouch line
AT&T= ...

**tonyparisi** · 03-04-2011, 01:40 PM

It will be the evo 3d on march 22nd... and a tablet.

**kellyrx8** · 03-04-2011, 03:11 PM

they release their flag ship phones in june...

That is correct, BUT they always announce them in March!

**Jrmatics** · 03-06-2011, 02:54 PM

Ok it would be crazy if the evo shift was the original evo's successor. There has to be an evo 2 in the works for sprint. From what I thought the evo did well for sprint. So why would sprint come out with a smaller version with a slide out keyboard and disregard the original evo's success. I for one like the slide out keyboards. I also have the touch pro and touch pro 2 collecting dust, but I can live without the keyboard cause I love my evo. And dont see myself updating my device till a real evo 2 comes out. I wouldn't mind a 4.3 inch touch screen with slide out keyboard. In this day and age I think it can be done without adding too much bulk to the device. I think sprint will separate these two devices even though they both have evo in their name

**Roustermiller** · 03-06-2011, 04:11 PM

Sprint is coming with the Evo 3D at ctia

I've been hoping this wouldn't be true, but it looks like it is. I can't see3D, so it is of no interest to me, and I doubt I'd find 3D very motivating even if I did have 3D vision. It's very bad news, since Sprint is only gonna have a certain amount of wow factor in a new phone, and the 3D will take up some of the oxygen that could be used for something more useful! At best the hardware and software to do 3D will add bulk and volume and cost for something useless to me, and of little use to most people, I suspect.

I may be waiting a bit longer to upgrade, not the worst thing in the world. Well see what else is in the phone.
