I highly doubt there's an Evo successor anywhere near in sight. Will there by a new Sprint phone that'll be significantly more powerful and better than the Evo soon? I'm sure there will be. Here's the thing with the smartphone industry now.. It's moving ridiculously fast. Fast to the point where within 5 months the once mighty Evo is already being outshined in performance. I'm sure the dual core phones will be out by early next year (maybe even sooner). The problem with holding off to see if something newer and better will come out, is you'll be waiting forever. This is why you need to do some serious research and get some good hands on before you make a decision to buy a phone in this crazy smartphone environment. My girlfriend bought the myTouch 4g. And let me tell you, whether you're looking at benchmarks, or real world usage, it absolutely trounces the Evo. My Evo is running a senseless rom and is overclocked to 1.2ghz... and the myTouch 4g (stock) is still faster in not just benchmarks (it actually gets creamed in all the benchmarks) but more importantly real world usage. In literally every way it's significantly faster. Hell, even the camera and camcorder embarrass the Evo. Now with all that said... does that make my Evo any less good? Does it give me "buyers remorse"? Does it make me want to jump to the next big thing? Not even close. The Evo is still an incredible phone. It's still on the top tier of phones and probably will be for at least a few more months. If you're on Sprint already and considering the Evo, get it. Who knows when the next big Sprint phone will come out. And even when it does... I'm sure only a few months after that there'll be something even better. Another thing to keep in mind if you plan on waiting for the next big thing.. As I stated before, i'm sure the dual core phones are gonna be coming out soon. And I think this is when things start to slow down just a tad. Smart phone technology is moving at a significantly faster pace than smartphone battery technology. Phones are getting thinner and more powerful. But the batteries haven't really changed much. The norm seems to be ~1500mh. I highly doubt that'll be sufficient enough for a dual core running at least 1.5mhz with probably at least 1gb of RAM. Neither will having a huge 2500mah battery inside either, because thinner is better. So be careful with waiting. You're already missing out on the Evo...
