EVO 4g On Verizon

---

I'm plan on getting a Evo on first day, but sprint coverage sucks in my area.Thats why I'm with Verizon.

I want to know can i run the Evo on Verizon network. Dont care bout 4G.I know it should work both cdma networks. but i want to be sure. And if so does it have to be rooted.

And forgive me if this question has been answered didn't see it on the Q&A.

Thanks

Yes the phone would work on the Verizon network from a technical standpoint. I am sure you will have issues getting Verizon to accept the esn though.

Why not just get a HTC Incredible? I know its got a smaller screen and a few other differences, but they are compatible on a few levels and a pretty good phone option. I just don't see the evo as worth the trouble.

Yes i understand. But i dont like the feel of the Incredible.I would rather hold on to my Droid Eris(rooted-thx xda). I really do want the 4.3in screen among other features. Did want a HD2 but its only GSM.

this may seem stupid but im thinking bout calling verizon and asking them about the esn stuff

I'm positive they'll just give you the run around that it needs to be fully tested, etc on their network.

Sometimes you can get them to activate it at little verizon "authorized" shops, but you have to pay more etc.

Once you get to that point, you will need to load a Verizon PRL, not sure what else after that.

Isnt the new Droid thats soon to come got the same 4.3 and 1080 cam? Might wanna just wait for that.

Thanks for the info. I just prefer HTC phones.I had six or more HTC phones since Cingular 2125. They didnt stop working i just buy a new phone every year almost.

um.. the Evo cannot and will not ever run on Verizon's network.... the only exception to this is if your roaming and Sprint uses VZW's towers.

boom baby

wont have a 1080p video recording camera if thats what u were referring too, sensors are to small, even the 14MP cellphone coming out only does 720p recording, but it probably has the same 8MP camera.

Why don't you just port to Sprint? You can roam on VZW's towers, and even if you have to pay an ETF, it will probably be cheaper than buying an evo outright or on ebay.
