Should Sprint put out more 4G Android phones this year?

[xorg]

I think they should. LG is putting out 20 new Android phones this year. Motorola claims they'll put out a 2Ghz phone this year. Others are coming from VZW comparable to EVO. Dual core CPUs are coming later this year. All those phones may outspec EVO in some ways, except for the 4G capability.

Sprint should put out many 4G phones this year with better specs than EVO. They should keep the EVO name for all 4G Android phones, similar to Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, etc.

Reasonable? Or do you not want your EVO outdated in a couple months? It will be anyway by other carriers.

They should put out an EVO 4G with a slider keyboard.

I want an EVO style phone w/a separate GPU like the Moto Droid or Samsung Galaxy S.

Imagine a 4G, dual-core with something like an Nvidia Tegra/Tegra2 chip on board for physics & graphics? That's what I want, with a 2800mah battery and a super amoled 4" display.

Given that EVO is the highest demanded phone since iPhone and highest profiled from media since iPhone, other Android phone makers may be crawling to Sprint, wanting to develop a 4G phone.

I'm not sure that the EVO sold more than the original Motorola Droid for the same time span.

It'd be nice if Sprint or HTC released sales figures.

The reduced EVO estimate is 150K the first day. The first Moto Droid sold 100K in first 3 days. The Droid Incredible sold 100K in two days. So even with reduced estimate, EVO blew it out.

Sprint/HTC made a big mistake not making 500K for launch day. They would have sold them eventually even if it turned out to have moderate demande.

Hmm. I didn't realize the Droid only sold 1k on launch day. My mistake.

True. People are freaking when they see my phone. Several of my friends are ditching their wireless providers for Sprint so they can get it.

According to this, Sprint WILL release more 4G Android phones before end of year.

Watch out iPhone 4, more 4G Androids are coming

How much would you really trust those sales figures?

Imagine the caos that would have happened if 500k people tried to activate on that day.

They should have had more phones available but spread them out over a week. Having pent up demand can be a good thing but phone buyers are fickle and will jump to something else or get pissed at Sprint and not buy anything from them. Some of the handling of this launch has been bad but it seems to be mostly at the vendor level.

I'm sure Sprint will be happy to sell any 4G phones that any of the manufacturers want to produce. But Sprint doesn't design or build phones, so they have only limited control.

 

[maddmatt02]

Ill take more 4G phones from sprint, but it better not have the evo name. I personally think the droid thing is dumb... droid, droid eris, droid incredible, now droid X (for droid xtreme or xtraordinaire or something...), whats next? droid supreme?

is there still the rumor of the moment 2 being a 4G phone, if thats true my finace gets the evo and I can again have a real KB

I think it makes sense to keep the EVO name for 4G Android phones. It simplifies marketing and the momentum that the EVO name gained. Would not be wise to move away from EVO as it is a hot name. It is the first name that is seriously being considered as an alternative to iPhone by the media.

Sure, If it gives them an incentive to roll out 4G faster. More Android phones are not a bad thing.
