HTC EVO 4G
The Big Question still remains
Can sprint market this thing so the masses flock to it??? probably not the continuation of NOT adding subs is on their horizon. I think they should just stick to pimping Boost because their goose is cooked. Cool ass phone but sprint will mess it up like they always do.
...
Everything to mess up here...sprint continues to fail at marketing their exceptional products who will buy this? Maybe you're not up on current events but sprint continues to fail at adding subs. They should hire a new marketing department immediately that can really drive home the phone and why to choose SPRINT. Dan Hesse needs to call it quits.

I can't speak for the whole country but the last 2 months my sprint store has seen more verizon & at&t port ins than we have done in the prior 12 months combined.
Today our phones have been ringing all day long with questions on the Evo. Some kind of markteting must be going on to get this amount of phone calls for a phone that was officially announced less than 24 hours ago.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, we shall if the main stream is ready to forgive sprint for all the mishaps of the past. If not this will just be another PRE, a little hype and a huge let down in sales.
...
It could be, but the real failure of the Pre is partially because it is two struggling companies working on changing the entire perception of their brands, where Sprint *is* making progress, Palm is really still struggling and now faces buyout opportunities. They waited too long to make a move and that will cost them dearly. Sprint saw the trends and immediately gave Forsee the boot and brought in someone known to change companies for the better.
Another big let down on the PRE launch was not allowing employees to carry, and promote it at launch. To be entirely honest only the uber-nerds are going to drop cash based on what the specs are. Everyone else needs to be excited and motivated to pick it up. Example: HTC Hero. Still out-performin...

i would say the biggest let down of the PRE is that only select stores got to carry it for the first several months. if they want a phone to be successful, then all exlusive dealers need to get these types of phones at the same time. however, this phone will probably be priced around what the htc touch pro2 is at(just my thought). if that is the case, no one is going to buy it other than 'uber-nerds' as you put it.
hero's are out doing the pre's because of again, marketing. i think the pre is a more dependable and stable phone than any android phone. when was the last time you saw a Sprint Pre commercial?

We sell multiple carriers and our management is concerned because we sell too much Sprint. We are told to not take the "easy route"
We are porting customers from all carriers to Sprint, even though we sell the others. Customers are initiating the churn, we are not because we could upgrade them easier than porting them.

The people who are calling are the thousands of people who read these sites. Not the hundreds of millions of regular joes who Sprint needs to attract. The iPhone sells to grandma's, hockey mom's, and the non tech person because of Apple's fan base and incredible on point marketing(which is many times free because of the media).

Cellenator, subscription bleeding doesn't happen over night. In fact the bleeding is slowing and hopefully we'll start to see it move in the positive direction; something that should accelerate with a dominating handset like the Evo. The problem with the Pre was it was 2 comeback stories is 1 comeback too many. I have high hopes for both Palm and Sprint, but neither company should have looked to the other for their big splash (as much as I looooooove my Pre on Sprint mind you 🙂 )
Anyway, we have been adding subs, and a huge majority of those adds have been on data plans (Sprint's sweet spot for value); where traditionally Sprint has been a pretty dumbphone heavy sub base. In terms of bleeding, we've seen the biggest exodus in the credit ...
