Sprint didn't design it, HTC did.
Yes, yes, I know your thoughts, we're discussing it in the other thread. But I'll still respond. Sprint without a doubt had a big hand in the vastly different design.

Yeah, no. HTC designed it. The Evo brand is an HTC one, not a sprint one. Any changes would have been at HTC's direction, not Sprint's.
You can keep believing that if you like, but you would be wrong. Sprint without a doubt had a hand in this. Also, from everything I have read, the EVO name is Sprints just like the Droid name is Verizons. ALthough, I don't know how to confirm that, but I have read a few articles contemplating the possibility of an EVO from a different manufacturer on Sprint
Edit, after a bit more digging, HTC has trademarks on the names of the specific EVO phones, but I wasn't able to find anything for the EVO name itself. It still makes no difference one way or the other as buyer and seller obviously both have input on the device
HTC owns the Evo brand. They have sold Evo phones abroad. They made the decision to make this phone look as it does.
In a sense (haha) they do. But I've read some things in the past that Sprint owns the TM on EVO (all caps), versus HTC selling an Evo. It's similar to the Droid branding with Verizon. They don't own it, but they license it from LucasFilm and they have exclusivity to it.
There are also several videos around about the original design for the EVO 4G and Sprint absolutely was involved all the way to the end. They discuss it with the design team from HTC. Including changing the front speaker grill from red to a silver grill at the very last minute. If you look back at some of the first pics of the OG EVO you'll see the red speaker. They didn't want it to look like the Incredible that was headed to Verizon (which was basically a mini-EVO) so that was a final cosmetic change they made.
HTC owns the trademarks to it, which is why they sell evo branded devices outside the US. The arrangement is exactly like what is happening with the one series.

You say they continue to do it, but I don't know of the ton of other phones they have changed so drastically. Also, how silly are people bashing this design going to feel when they see it and realize that the changes are minor. I haven't seen it either so I'm just supposing, but I won't be surprised to see that the physical changes are less than anticipated today. I certainly don't care for the mock-ups we've seen this morning and I'm hoping for something different tomorrow. I just don't trust the picture of the Sprint phone because there is no branding on it at all and that isn't the Sprint way.
The argument that it looks "good" is flat-out wrong. It doesn't look that bad, unless you compare it to the One X, which is the best looking Android phone to date.
Can't understand why Sprint continues to change the design of a beautiful piece of equipment.. Tired of bricks and plastic slabs..No difference in phones and horrible network speeds its time to go to Tmobile.
Yep, do it and shut up. I will be happy with the evo 4g lte.Can't understand why Sprint continues to change the design of a beautiful piece of equipment.. Tired of bricks and plastic slabs..No difference in phones and horrible network speeds its time to go to Tmobile.
