[Q] Next Android Slider, Where are you? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the shift has been out for a little bit now... and Im starting to grow bored. Some of the ICS Sense Roms around the board on other phones are looking pretty sweet, and my interest has been slowly fading. So onto my question, where exactly is our next Android slider? Hopefully CES brings something. The D4 going to verizon looks sick. Im not deadset on HTC and Sense, but Ive had HTC phones since the VX6700 several years ago, just kept buying them lol. If Verizon didnt have crappy plans in my opinion Id switch for the D4. However I dont believe anyone can touch sprints pricing, since they include text/data in their plans.

Well as far as I know, the only two phones for sprint at CES are the Galaxy Nexus, and the LG Viper. Unfortunately, no sliders (yet hopefully). I'm just praying that the next slider has a spring.

Wrong section for one but Sprint shows off most of their phones at MWC next month

Im not tired of my shift yet but i am ready for an upgrade. That being said i really hope the next slider does have a spring.

Good things come to those who wait.

i think slider is not important.

Oh wait you meant Sprint... send an email to Dan Hesse about it.

maybe its because i havnt used motoblur personally, but i would probably rather root re-rom and run asop with a launcher or something over the Droid UI, but it is a very nice looking phone.

Need a phone recommendation

Okay, I have searched for several weeks and would like a recommendation.
I currently have a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt). I have tried several ROMs with the phone over the past few years, but I clearly need to replace my phone. I live in an area that practically eliminates having any carrier other than AT&T or Verizon. The service with Sprint & T-Mobile is terrible.
I would like a phone running Android. I have tried the Kaiser port and enjoyed using it more than any ROM I have tried. I am fully aware that this poses a problem, as neither AT&T or Verizon currently have an Android phone.
As far as I know, I have three options ...
Purchase a T-Mobile phone (G1 or MyTouch) and use it on AT&T, giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase the Google Dev phone and use it on AT&T, again giving up any hope of using the 3G network.
Purchase a Rogers G1, pray for a root kit, and hope that it works correctly on AT&T's networks.
Is there anything I am missing? I'd really like to upgrade in the near future, but as far as I see I'm between a rock and a hard place.

I'd take the Hero in a heartbeat ... but is there any way to get one in the US before late fall/early winter?
Not sure about that
But you can always buy it from overseas

Thoughts and opinions!?

How long do you think we will be waiting for some nice custom black housing/trackballs for the Nexus etc?
Also has anyone stripped one yet and how hard was the process?
Just wondering as I used to do this a lot when I was a CrackBerry addict and loved switching the look of my 9000 up.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

Colorware? They'll tear apart/rebuild the phone for you, but I believe (Not sure x.x) that you get to keep the old parts so you can switch between the two.

Ooo! I had a blacked out bold too! It was so sick
since theres a tri-led in there I'm guessing it has to be white/transparent.

There will never be "THE" best tablet in the market, but there will always be the best tablet at the moment (before a better one comes out)
So, I think GTab is the best right now
Grab one now or ...

Really Best buy? I went in to do a price match and i looked at the sign and it was HTC Infuse?
Sent from my Infuse 4g via the XDA Dev App
i seen that too lol
I wish it was HTC... lol
Yea i noticed it too , i asked if i could get an HTC infuse? After a few minutes he realized too lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
lol Im going to go look for this now lol
Epic fail.
I personally am glad that this is a Samsung. Better screen quality and it doesn't weigh 5 or 6 pounds. Not to mention the fact that it probably would have come with a locked bootloader at least initially.
It is pretty sad that their marketing department overlooked such an obvious error.
Any other Samsung phone besides the infuse and I'd be wishing it were an HTC too.
I almost said something but didbt want to sound like a smart alic.
Sent from my Infuse 4g via the XDA Dev App
hmmm.. why all the hate on samsung? My infuse is freakin amazing. Way faster than my dual core tablet was, sexy UI, takes less than 5 seconds to root. Granted the battery life isn't GREAT and it takes 5 hours to charge, but that's how samsung does it, amazing performance comes at a small price.
The new ad for the chicago area says full 1080p video recording....

hahaha. i have to go to bestbuy now.

Lol...cause manufacturers only have to produce accessories for 1 device, rather than the (insert number here) Android devices that are on the market.
I don't believe that there is a bluetooth keyboard like that created for the Inspire/DesireHD. You could get any old bluetooth keyboard, but it won't work if you're running a Sense ROM (they don't contain the proper bluetooth stack), which is probably why no one's bothered to manufacture something like this, because it would only be useful to rooted users
DOH! Sence has a weakness... bluetooth stack... they rele need to fix it asap! lol the case reminded me alot of my old Tilt2 thats y i was interested.
I do wish that they had some sort of keyboard case.. This was my first smartphone and so I didn't care about having a keyboard or not, but I really really really miss a keyboard now. I guess the next time that I get a phone, it's going to be one with a keyboard.
