Even if we ARE supposed to get an Evo variant of the new One, I HIGHLY doubt that HTC would dare to put a totally new and better processor into it. While that might make US happy, think of those from other carriers who will he looking at their Ones, wondering why their carriers have an inferior phone.
When you think about it, if HTC releases a special "Evo" version for Sprint, it will defeat the purpose of what most HTC customers have been asking for, one phone model accross all of the carriers. Why does it seem to me like that has changed, somehow?
Also, just think about the situation retrospectively. How would YOU feel if Verizon had their special version of the One with a completely new processor. Not very happy, I'd imagine. I certainly wouldn't be, either. It might raise the sales of Sprint customers who like the Evo (which is a much smaller ratio that the OG Evo, and will be a smaller ratio than this Evo), but it will only piss off everyone else.
Do you really think that HTC wants to do that? If they do, I will be quite surprised. It will be great for us, but it doesn't prove them to be very trustworthy.
