Sprint to Offer Unlimited Data on iPhone 5

Hans — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:47:16 +0000

The Wall Street Journal had already told us that Sprint will have the iPhone 5 some weeks ago. Now Bloomberg has added on to this rumor, and said that Sprint will be offering an unlimited data plan on the iPhone 5 on their network in mid-October.

Rumors on the Sprint iPhone 5 keep spreading like crazy. Just last week some “source” tipped off This is my next, and said Best Buy will have an “Apple Fixture” on Friday, October 21 2011. This is how Best Buy did it during the iPhone 4 launch as well, so that “Apple Fixture” could mean that the Sprint iPhone 5 release date will be on that day.

Sprint To Get iPhone 5, According to Wall Street Journal

Hans — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:34:34 +0000

According to Wall Street Journal‘s “sources” (*wink* if I had a penny for every time I heard “according to so and so’s sources” I’d be rich!), Sprint will be selling Apple’s upcoming new iPhone 5 hardware which will be released in mid-October.

The Wall Street Journal says that the new iPhone 5 will be thinner and lighter with an improved digital camera.

The new iPhone 5 will also be running on Verizon Wireless, which uses a CDMA network just like Sprint and also on AT&T which has a GSM network.

Remember to take this with a grain of salt. There are just TOO MANY iPhone 5 rumors from so-called “sources” and you can never be sure which one is right until Apple actually announces their new product.

Samsung Epic 4G Release Date Likely On August 20

Hans — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:31:40 +0000

The Samsung Epic 4G release date is most likely on August 20. This has been indirectly confirmed on the Samsung Product Support website. If you go here, you will see a box which shows that the Samsung Epic 4G phone show is scheduled to be released on August 20.

Samsung released their previous Samsung Galaxy S phones on the same date that their other shows were released. You can check out our review of a Samsung Galaxy S phone on the Samsung Galaxy S review page.

The Samsung Epic 4G is the only Samsung Galaxy S phone with a slide out physical keyboard, and support for 4G from Sprint. If you’re on Sprint and love Android, this is the phone that you should get.

HTC EVO 4G Will Get New Android 2.2 Froyo Update

Hans — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:13:48 +0000

HTC EVO 4G is going to get the new Android 2.2 Froyo Update soon. This news comes from a Tweet from the official Sprint Twitter account. A Sprint representative officially stated “HTC EVO will be updated to Android 2.2″. No release date has been announced for Android 2.2 Froyo for the HTC EVO 4G.

The HTC EVO 4G is not the only device to get Android 2.2 on Sprint. Sprint also stated that from now on, new devices launching with Android 2.1 in the future will also get the Android 2.2 Froyo update.

Unfortunately Samsung Moment and HTC Hero won’t get the Android 2.2 Froyo update. If you are an HTC EVO 4G user, the Android 2.2 Froyo update will make you like your phone a lot more. This update will make your HTC EVO 4G 2 to 5 times faster and add many new cool features you can see in detail here.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G Is Very Scratch Resistant

Hans — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:45:52 +0000

The Sprint HTC EVO 4G is the first US 4G phone launched in the US. Sprint’s CEO believes that the EVO 4G can take on the Apple iPhone 4 phone that will be released on June 24. Every year Sprint looses a lot of customers to AT&T whenever there is a new launch, but with the HTC EVO 4G they expect this will change.

If you don’t know about the HTC EVO 4G yet, you can check out the full details on Sprint.com/EVO. This phone has a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1 operating system, 8.0 mega-pixel back camera, 1.3 mega-pixel front facing camera, and Adobe Flash Player support.

The HTC EVO 4G is scratch resistant, as you will see in the following video after the break. A HTC EVO 4G owner had to return his phone to Sprint to get it replaced, but before returning it he did a scratch test. The results were good, the HTC EVO 4G was able to handle all the scratch. This means users won’t need to buy a protective screen for their HTC EVO 4G.

HTC EVO 4G on Sprint Can Take On iPhone 4

Hans — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:01:09 +0000

HTC EVO 4G on Sprint can take on iPhone 4, at least according to Robert Brust, Sprint’s chief financial officer. At a investor conference on Wednesday, Brust admitted that new iPhone releases have made Sprint loose their customers to AT&T’s network for the past 3 years. Brust believes that with the HTC EVO 4G, Sprint won’t loose as much customers to iPhone 4.

Brust also said that the HTC EVO 4G is a phone that people could get instead of the iPhone, while the Palm Pre was a phone for people who did not want iPhone. Despite Sprint’s 4G network not being available in a lot of areas throughout the US, Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G still received good sales.

Apple plans to release their new iPhone 4 two weeks from now, on June 24. As aSprint customer I wouldn’t be switching to iPhone 4, simply because Sprint’s network is great in my area and the HTC EVO 4G phone seems like a better phone than the iPhone 4.

It’s good to know that Sprint has decided to use an environmental friendly package, and has used recycled paper to build it. All we do with the packaging is throw it away anyway, all that matters is what’s inside it, the HTC EVO 4G.

We already know that the HTC EVO 4G has a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 8.0 mega-pixel back camera, and 1.3 mega-pixel front camera. What we did not know is how much memory is in there. The packaging has revealed that there will be a 8 GB microSD card in the HTC EVO 4G.
