Feb 7th?!?! What do you think?

[Verdes8891]

I think this 3d phone might have some merit to it...

Sprint to showcase a glasses-free 3D phone on Feb 7? - Phone Arena

 

[KOMO]

I would like to think that it's a 3D phone, I mean with all of the hype surrounding 3D as of late. I really just don't see the benefit of a "dual screen device" considering as technology has developed over the last decade we have moved away from moving parts.

The Phone Arena link is interesting, however, I have seen those slides where Nvidia has a 1 Ghz Tegra 2, a 1.2 Ghz Tegra 3d, and then the 1.5 Ghz Tegra 3 quad core. Sooo, if anything, this would have to be the 1.2 ghz chip, not the 1 ghz one, and that's just another clue at the industry first thing.

One more week.

Can't wait!

You don't see the benifit of a dual screen phone but you do see the benifit of a 3d phone?

sources tell me, it's going to be a time machine

Speaking of time machines... What ever happeend to those rumors that the HTC EVO was going to have Gingerbread by Christmas. Could that be a possability? First, carrier specific phone to have Gingerbread?

I could care less about a 3d screen, but a dual core HTC would be cool.

Edit: Or dual core LG would be ok too I guess...

I wonder if this is still what Sprint has for next week. Weird that LG would rain on Sprint's parade if this was the "BIG" announcement. Let the speculation continue....

I agree. If a manufacturer has a deal with a carrier to have an event to announce something, it would be more than unlikely for the manufacturer to confirm the existence of a rumored device before it's supposed to be introduced to the public. I think we now can firmly rule out the LG Optimus 3d as well as the Galaxy S2 as candidates for what Sprint might have in store for us. Who is left? HTC? Well, they use Snapdragon chips, is the Snappy 2 ready? HTC was working on 3d technology, are they really that far along with the process that they are ready to make this announcement? How about Motorola? They have only supplied Sprint with Beep Beep phones for the last few years, and they showed a good portion of their cards at CES already. So...I am at my whits end....6 more days...

You only seem to be speculating phones here. I am almost positive it will be something to do with service. I am sure there will be a device or two in there too but the 'big' announcement will be service related.

Idk but it better be a dual core tegra 2 3D HTC device lol!

I did a search on Google News, in the Sci/Tech section, and one article suggested it might be a dual screen tablet, possibly with 3d. Ugh, please, not another tablet...We need a kick ass phone!

On Monday, do we change this thread to an official discussion of what it really is, or turn it into a gloating/crow-eating thread?

I promise to come back and eat crow if I'm wrong, or just plain crow if I'm right

For the record, I voted for 3D screen and can't take it back even though better dual-screen evidence surfaced later. Dual screen seems more plausible so I'm probably gonna be looking for crow sauce. If it's both I'll eat a wing.

I think we can turn it into a official discussion on the results. For now we can only speculate of what those are until monday.

So are they just announcing a new phone or releasing one?

Nobody knows...it's all speculation at this point. They are being pretty tight lipped about it :-X

 

[heckufaguy]

We have a friend who's a corporate sprint rep. She's hinting this would be a neat phone for sprint, but would neither confirm nor deny it's monday's announcement.

That video makes the phone look awesome. If they release it this month, I'm using my upgrade to get it.

That's definitely something different and interesting but it doesn't seem very practical IMO. Honestly I would be disappointed if that was the big announcement.

I think that looks cool. Whether or not I would use it depends on: whether I could carry it in a pocket, how much it would weigh, and how much it would cost.

I'm thinking it probably wouldn't hit the stores until after April 1 when the upgrade policy changes.

 

[MannyZ28]

The clock is ticking...tomorrow is the day! I hope I won't get disappointed!
