Maybe this should have a poll but here's where I'm coming from.
Since Sprint got the EVO the first "4G" phone it's had a sad (IMHO) lineup of HTC products. The EVO certainly was badazz and I had one shortly after launch. The screen was huge and I loved to laugh at all the iPhonies with their teeny screen and non-removable battery...And I lived through the horrid battery, limited onboard memory, feeble RAM and less than stellar camera and started becoming a flashaholic when I just got fed up with the bloat.
Then came the Shift - a poor imitation of the Epic 4g (no dedicated number row?? really??) - and while I personally know dozens with EVOs, I know no one with a Shft.
Behold the 3D (my current phone) - but why a narrower screen than the EVO? Love the dual cores and the extended RAM and larger storage and higher resolution...oops we locked the bootloader on this one and hboot 1.5 means lots of hoops and less customization but I've managed to find a killer ROM to satisfy me now.
So the next big HTC release from Sprint is the...wait for it...is it the successor to the OG EVO combining the best of both the OG and the 3D???? No...it's the Design.
Meanwhile
TMobile - Amaze with 1.5GHz dual core
TMobile - Sensation with 8MP cam
Verizon - Thunderbolt with upgraded EVO specs for memory
Verizon - Rezound with 720p screen and 1.5GHz dual core and 16GB SD preinstalled
ATT - memory upgrade from the EVO as well
ATT - 4.5" qHD screen with upgraded camera...what the 3D should have been?
So I'm certainly hoping that the wimax folly and switch to LTE is what's been kililng Sprint's HTC offerings for so long...and that the upcoming announcement between Sprint and HTC is the beginning of bringing the killer phones back where they belong - to unlimited data on a (eventually) screaming fast LTE network.
