The Three Most Popular Android Sprint Phones

December 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

21321995521_8300curve.jpgThe latest Sprint Android to surface is the Nexus 4G. This ‘pure Google’ phone is a promising addition to the Sprint line up of eleven Android devices. The Nexus is growing in popularity as the best Sprint Android. The reason for this is the Nexus comes preloaded with Gingerbread (Android 2.3 Operating System – the latest to date) and has 4G connectivity. You might be wondering what is a ‘pure Android’ phone. It is simply an Android phone that does not have a manufacture interface overlay. The advantage of not having a manufacture interface running on top of the Android platform is that the phone can get immediate upgrades to the latest Android Operating System versions. In the case of phones with manufacture overlays, the manufacture has to reprogram the overlay to adjust to the new Android version. Many users prefer the ‘pure Android’ interface from a visual and ease of use point of view.

Discover The Latest Three Sprint Android Phones

Sprint mobile has a reasonable selection of Android phones with eleven currently available. The current three most popular Sprint Android phones are the HTC EVO 4G, the Samsung Epic 4G, and the new Nexus S 4G. Read on to discover more about these phones … Htc Evo 4g Android Phone Sprint

I have had the EVO 4g for 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! Before purchasing the phone, I had to compare it to another competitor in this smart phone market, the Droid X. Now don’t get me wrong, the Droid X is a great phone and it runs on Verizon’s rock solid network. However, after holding the phone and playing with the X’s interface for a while, I wasn’t impressed. HTC EVO 4G Android Phone (Sprint)

I have had the EVO 4g for 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! Before purchasing the phone, I had to compare it to another competitor in this smart phone market, the Droid X. Now don’t get me wrong, the Droid X is a great phone and it runs on Verizon’s rock solid network. However, after holding the phone and playing with the X’s interface for a while, I wasn’t impressed. Discovering Sprint Blackberry

Sprint has three models of Blackberry’s available to you in the US: the Curve 9330 (Purple and Grey) the Style (Purple and Black) the Bold 9650For extreme users that like to custom ROM their phones so that they can install unofficial updates, apps, and customize their phones, the ‘pure Google’ is easier to hack. The Nexus comes with a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, WiFi hot spot capabilities for up to five devices, 4 inch display, front facing VGA camera and a rear 5 megapixel camera and 16 GB of internal storage.
The HTC EVO 4G is the best contender for the top Sprint Android position, with its closes competitors being the Nexus (mentioned above) and the Samsung Epic 4G. The EVO has a slightly larger WVGA display at 4.3 inches (800 x 480 pixel resolution). This makes viewing web pages a breeze due to the impressive screen size and sharp clarity of the display.
It sports both the front facing 1.3 VGA megapixel camera for video calling and an 8 megapixel rear camera. The rear camera takes excellent pictures and has HD video capabilities. If the camera is an important feature for you, take a look at this phone. The EVO makes use of the Sense user interface, which works well and has the Leap feature that allows you to pinch anywhere on the screen to view all open programs. Like the Nexus and Epic the EVO runs on Sprint’s 4G network, which has good download speeds though is not available in all cosmopolitan areas. This phone has picked up some criticism with regard to battery life, however, I think that it is fair to say that all the smart phones, and particularly the ones running on 4G, have battery issues. This will surely be the next feature for developers to tackle. For some this phone is on the large size being 4.8 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide and 0.5 inches thick.
The third flagship Android for Sprint is the Samsung Epic 4G. The phone comes with an excellent Super AMOLED screen, 1 GHz processor, front facing VGA front facing camera, a five megapixel rear camera with LED flash and supports Sprint’s 4G WiMax network. Possibly the best feature of this phone is the large slide out physical QWERTY keyboard. If you text message and email frequently, this might be a good option as the phone has fairly similar options to the above two phones and an excellent keyboard. The biggest downside to the Epic and the EVO is that the phone comes with Android 2.1 operating system installed, with no current official updates. However, you are able to load Gingerbread (Android 2.3) if you custom ROM your device and download an unofficial version.

01321995521_evo.jpgDigital TV IGRS module pull embedded heating needs, expectations of the industrialization of IGRS Working Group contributed to the de facto standard.

Standard stick has always been foreign giant enterprise IP strategy one of the most potent weapons. National standards for many industries both have been controlled by others and encountered difficulties. In aware of this, the Government had tried to lead in a number of key industry standards, but suffered from international vendors and standards organizations, pressures, and the “government standards” mode is reasonable also been questioned.

Last week, a government encouraged bottom-up business-led standards development model in China International Forum on Information Technology Standards to be formally proposed. This step is considered by many media companies in the standard key step in the strategic development. The IGRS standard has now come to the forefront of the world. China’s IT industry, the status of international standards, it may be rewritten IGRS success.

“Purely technical level of high standards is not necessarily the best standard, widely used standard is the real winner.” Fan Bo Yuan, vice mayor of Beijing, China last week, the International Forum on Information Technology Standards so that . He referred to “widely used” to some extent is the IGRS.

As the first self-initiated by the domestic enterprises to develop standards, IGRS in two years time has quickly entered the product from the conceptualization of stages. The IGRS Working Group, according to head of Sun Yuning introduction, IGRS’s success has attracted outside attention of giant-type chip companies, and standards required to join the working group. “I hope that IGRS will become the ultimate international standards.” Sun Yuning said.

Industrialization led to the de facto standard “standards is not an easy thing.” Sun Yuning, said in an interview, “according to foreign experiences, the general maturity of international standards to shape at least from the initial 5 years to 10 years . IGRS Working Group from the inception to now less than three years, but now has become a practical implementation of standards. in the enterprise level, the domestic has been a lot of different forms of IGRS products into volume production, and even has began to market some products. This standard-setting work itself is both an incentive and also a recognition. “and Sun Yuning say to each other is

Digital TV opportunities hold this attitude is not just an association, it is not just limited to IT industry. IT companies and even relative relative “future” of the IGRS products, traditional household appliances enterprises have started preparing for the first time the market opportunities.

This is also the IGRS standard is becoming a key reason why the de facto standard.

The Best Sprint Contract Phones Of 2011

December 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

11321995521_intercept.jpg 

Sprint has a reasonable selection of contract phones with the Android devices making up the majority of the choices. There are eleven Sprint Androids for you to choose from currently. The newest addition to the Sprint Android division is the Nexus S 4G. This is also Sprint’s first “pure Google” phone. There is a lot of hype around getting a “pure Google” phone for three reasons:
One, it does not have a manufacture overlay to the operating system i.e. a custom built user interface for that brand as a result “pure Google” phones can get upgraded to the latest Android operating systems a lot sooner since the manufacture does not have to reprogram the overlay to work with the new Android version. In some cases it takes several months before the overlay is coded to run with a new Android version. For some models the manufactures do not update the overlay ever.
Two, the “pure Google” phones are easier for hackers to custom ROM which allows them to update their handsets with non official upgrades and apps, and gives greater flexibility to customize the phone.
Thirdly, purely from a cosmetic point of a view, a lot of people prefer the simplistic “pure Google” look.
The Nexus is running on the latest Android operating system 2.3 (Gingerbread), has a 1 GHz chip, 16 GB of onboard memory, a Super AMOLED 4 inch display, sports a front facing 1.3 mega pixel video calling camera, a rear 5 mega pixel shooter with LED flash, and of course runs on Sprint’s 4G WiMax network giving you rapid download speeds.
Another interesting Android phone from Sprint is the HTC EVO 4G, possibly Sprint’s most advanced phone.

There are updates to Gingerbread available online (unofficial) if you have custom ROM’ed your phone. Note, if you custom ROM your phone you lose the warranty. Possibly the highlight of this phone is the 8 mega pixel rear camera that takes impressive pictures and has HD video capabilities as well.
The Samsung Epic 4G often rivals the EVO for top spot with the Sprint Androids, although I think it is probably sitting in third position now with the introduction of the Nexus. If you are a fan of text messaging and emailing with a physical keyboard, then this is a very interesting option and probably the best full QWERTY keyboard among the Sprint Androids. The keys are well placed making it easy to type, it’s situated under the display and slides out. Currently if you are trying to decide between the EVO, Nexus or the Epic then you should think about whether you are looking for a phone with a full QWERTY physical keyboard; a sharp shooting 8 mega pixel camera; or want to have a “pure Google” phone running on Android’s latest operating system, Gingerbread.
