HTC Kingdom for sprint at the FCC!!!

[djw39]

Upcoming HTC events: this Thursday in Utrecht, next Monday in London. We are expecting Kingdom = Sprint Hero 4G to be a world phone if I'm not mistaken, so European unveiling seems plausible enough. Also note that the original Hero was first announced in London.

HTC EVO 4G+ official, but is it destined for Sprint? -- Engadget

this might be the Kingdom... Look at the HTTP after clicking link, on top says aka Kingdom

I really hope this comes to sprint soon. I would love a true successor to my evo. Not that 3D gimmick.

The phone really appears to be a nice looking device. Having a hardware switch for recording/camera mode doesn't seem like a bad idea either.

Edit: Here is a run-down of the device specifics: http://androidandme.com/2011/06/phones/htc-manufacturers-news/htc-unveils-the-htc-evo-4g/

Aside from the 3d aspect of the phone. The EVO 3D is a really good sequel to our OG EVO. Updated specs, screen, battery, processor, memory. New Sense version. Other then the 3D gimmick, how is it not a sucessor?

This is a true example of a sequel. The EVO3D is also but with the added feature of 3D screen and tech it also stands on its own. This looks like it alot and seems that they used the same hardware in look and finish. Putting a separate toggle switch for cam/vid is cool but it also is obvious that its the same as the 3D. Will it be the EVO4G+ on Sprint or the Kingdom ? We will soon see but I'm sure it will be on Sprint 99% The Inspire and Tbolt are similar to the Evo but you can tell the difference. This is an exact copy of the 3D, so that's why i believe Sprint will release it.

Sprint and HTC have an agreement for the EVO line but this is a CDMA/WiMax phone so it'll be on sprint whereas the EVO 4G+ will be in Korea only.

Engadget fail!

So we have another bit of mass confusion generated by a sloppy Engadget post. The "Evo 4G+" they are talking about is the HTC Rider. Of course it will be released on Sprint, with slightly different radios for the US; also, since Sprint usually asks manufacturers to "customize" their phones a bit in addition to merely putting in the CDMA/Wimax radios, they'll probably do that with this one...maybe e.g. they'll give it red accents and a 3d display/camera. OH WAIT THEY ALREADY DID THAT!

The real HTC Kingdom has specs somewhere between the original Evo 4G and the Evo 3d... but is not part of the Evo line. This is substantiated by the leaked ROM in which it is called the Hero 4G.

Almost all the tech blogs are saying that the FCC filings reveal nothing new, only what is already known, which includes a 4.3" display...I've clicked on every link in the fcc filing and see nothing that says a 4.3" display. Earlier rumors suggest a 4" screen, since this was expected to be sprints version of the incredible.

Any clarifications??? can anyone point to where it gives display size in the FCC filing???

Any idea how about how long it takes for a phone to get from FCC listings to something tangible that we can see?

If it comes to sprint....I might have to switch and get that.

The wait is killing me. Does anyone have any current info on the Kingdom?

 

[Maestro1#AC]

I have been seeing on the web, that the DLNA certificate for this phone outs it as the ---HTC Hero 4G.

I'm keeping my ears open for this too - thinking it'll be my next phone. Not quite the perfect changeover from my Pre, but it'll do...
