...Choice is a good thing.
Choice is a very good thing.
Last year Sprint gave us our choice of two of the top 5 phones of the year: the Epic and EVO.
This year Sprint will give us our choice of
four of the top rated phones. Amazing!
Choice 1: Buy the Echo without trying out the new Nexus 4G, Atrix 4G, EVO 3D, and Galaxy 2.
Choice 2: Try out the Nexus 4G, Sprint's first pure Android device, the first that will see Matias Duarte's vision for Ice Cream this summer. Samsung took a lot of grief for their Epic Froyo delay but the
Sprint Zio is still waiting. The Echo is only shipping with 2.2. Gingerbread is not promised or even hinted at. Would you like to see Gingerbread before you decide? Would you like Ice Cream this summer?
Choice 3: Try out the EVO 3D. The menus and screens are Gingerbread 2D. It's only 3D menu is if you long-press of the Home key and spin for carousel mode. The 3D refers to the 3D option for photos and videos.
Choice 4: Try the Atrix 4G. Do you want to consider the Sprint Atrix 4G when making your choice? The Atrix 4G is announcing later this month and is a beast.
Choice 5: Galaxy 2. Do you want to be able to consider the Galaxy 2 phones expected just after the EVO 3D?
It does not matter what anyone else says. You won't know how you like any of them until you hold them and try them out for yourself. No one else can tell you what will feel best to you.
If all five of the new Sprint smartphones were available right now, are you sure that the Echo is the choice you would make?
