EVO 4G hits Sprint's EOL list... :(

What's the significance of EOL? Just simply that you won't be able to purchase them new anymore?
Wow, I got my Evo launch day 6/4/10, and have never had it replaced or had any of the hardware issues I've seen others complain about/report. I love my Evo.

It has the best screen aspect ratio, and great visual resolution (biggest icons).
Just did a speed test compared to the 3d it sends and receives twice as fast.
If HTC and Sprint don't have a line item replacement with the same characteristics ... see ya later.

It's perhaps their best seller up until the iPhone 4S and new Samsung Galaxy phones came in.
I just had to have mine replaced and sadly ended up with a refurbished one. No biggie though. The EVO 4G is perhaps the best phone they've had at Sprint. I can't wait to see if there's a new HTC phone announced during the MWC for Sprint.

I device 'truly' hits EOL when the development stops, and I mean we have ICS. We're good to go for a while guys.
yeah, okay bud....
Guess my crystal ball was broken, but either way - that link was posted on the web the same day I posted in this post. Dated January 25, 2012 7:57 am. Don't you think if it was on the list back around Halloween, SOMEONE else would have posted it SOMEPLACE on XDA??? I do, and its not anywhere...
Moving on, and I quote - "the latest leaked EOL list is coming from Sprint and has a few key devices included."
Get over it dude, I was just passing on the info.... you're welcome...

Speaks to the level of badassery of the Evo. EOLd TWICE!

Sad to see. I've had the same Evo since day 1. Love this darn phone. But, luckily, like the other posters have said, as long as the devs here keep developing for it, it's not EOL. At least until the Galaxy Nexus is available!
I am just curious what they would replace with it, I have to get mine replaced so now I know to do it ASAP. Does any where keep track of what ends up becoming the replacement device if one becomes damaged after EOL and they have depleted there refurb stock.
It was posted someplace on XDA back then. I made reference to it in this post back in Sept.:

We wouldn't have 4+" screens or 4G without the Evo. The most important smartphone release in the last few years for sure.
I believe the HD2 was the first 4+" screen, nearly identical HW to Evo. In fact, devs have WinMo (native), Android 2.2,2.3, & 4.0, AND Ubuntu/Linux, and WinPhone7 running on it (multi boot)!!! Pretty amazing stuff, there.
But still, yeah, the Evo has been one wicked machine. And we were lucky with amazing devs from day 1 (toast, virus, lithid, etc). Its been fun. And continues to be, with devs still bringing ICS to it/us.
And post about EOLd twice due to badassery.....lol nice

Asurion has been replacing them with Evo 3ds, in many cases. There's a thread here in General about exactly that, just saw it yesterday. And apparently sprint has sent letters to 30,000 customers/ex-customers trying to get some Evo 4gs back to use for refurb. Lol (I personally prefer the OG to the 3d by far,..don't like the narrow screen or materials used on 3d).

Tell me about it I miss that phone alot haha. It was so cool Dec 30th 2010 when we were finally able to run Android on nand. I showed that phone off alot. Windows phone running Android haha.
Then later down the line CLK recovery came out so the phone would go from splash screen straight to boot animation no more MAGLDR screen haha.
But before that I was hooked on Energy winmo roms. Good days...
Evo is still an awesome phone no complaints what so ever. We have Roms for days.

i don't care what anyone says this phone is revolutionary and in my mind still the best on the market and until they make a new evo that has the same screen size (not skinny like the 3d) and keep the look almost exactly the same as the 4g we all know and love this will be my phone of choice :')

If I remember right, the WHITE evo was EOLed in October - the bad-ass black one held on until now.
