New EVO LTE 4gen on its way in 2013???

[TEEMILL]

I went to add a line on my service for my sister at bestbuy mobile today 1-28-13 and she wanted the new EVO 4g LTE and the sales rep told us that they discontinued the phone because a new one is in the works in disbelief we went to radio shack and they told us the exact samething so then I called Sprints customer care (611) and the lady said the EVO 4g LTE is now only being sold by HTC.com sprint stores and sprint.com because there clearing out inventory to make way for a 4gen EVO has anybody else heard the same thing?

It's the new HTC that will launch next month I believe the m7. The new flagship phone for HTC on sprint. Won't be a need to keep both phones in inventory

That's what he said. "... the EVO 4g LTE is now only being sold by HTC.com sprint stores and sprint.com because...". Maybe the lack of commas is throwing people off. I had to read it twice.

I wasn't aware they were planning on placing the "Evo" name on the M7. I guess we wait and see...

From what little we might know about the M7: No kickstand. No SD Card. Although it does have a camera button. Then it doesn't even retain the POGO pins of the OneX or even the back notification lamp of the DNA. Also, the rear is very boring/design-less.

I would have a hard time placing the name "Evo" on it, myself.

Still at Best Buy here in a few locations in Denver. My store has had boosting sales of the phone from the Super Bowl commercial the phone was featured on. I'm still wondering though if in our next shipment, the LTEvo will still be there.

Dunno, that's kind of how I felt about the Evo 3D when it came out, didn't seem like a direct evolution, just a kind of spacer product. In my mind the Evo LTE is the real "sequel" to the OG Evo. So with the M7 it could be the same deal, just kind of a newer faster phone under the same naming scheme.

Was reading specs on the m7 and the screen size is the same as my EVO LTE.. Nothing that gives a real wow factor in my opinion. I'm now thinking I will just stay with my EVO for another year and save the expense

Am I the only one that believes that the M7 (minus possible lack of SD card) is what the LTE should have been?

 

[Jaggrey]

What commercial was the phone in?

Lte is a bigger jump than the m7

Perhaps [you are the only one]. Since it also has no kickstand. And no nice design elements either. And the lack of SD really would SUCK. That is not really what I would have wanted my phone to be.

2GB of RAM, now that would be the only thing.

As much as I'd like to see a bespoke Evo for Sprint in 2013, it makes more sense to follow a Samsung like approach. One phone on all major carriers.

Couldn't agree more! I hate the "fragmentation" word, but think how much more focused you could be if you have the same device no matter the carrier!

It would be even better if somehow all the carriers in the U.S. would switch over to GSM and we could do away with CDMA. That way manufacturers could just focus on devices and carriers be damned.

I agree. Going to GSM across the board simplifies everything in so many ways. I'm with you on focusing on devices.
