    Why has Sprint limited HTC EVO 3D with it

    I still have the original Moto Droid, and itching to get a new phone, as I am now eligible to get a new one. I thought I wanted the Thunderbolt. Actually I was confused in selecting a better phone for me. Then I see the EVO 3D, and it looks awesome. But I can't go to Sprint, it sucks big time by my house, and I get a corporate discount with Verizon. Why can't we have it on Verizon as It's CDMA after all, so my query is that why Sprint limits Evo with it only.

    The carrier reached an agreement with the manufacturer to be the sole operator for that phone. Like AT & T had the iPhone for 5 years. They do so for competitive reasons. If you want to do evil EVO enough, then you get to them. If you have a Verizon phone you akin to then you stay there as a service you like, then I would be happy with it. Still on the HTC, I hope that will be available to all companies that you want.

    If it be a GSM phone and had the appropriate frequencies, you may perhaps acquire the phone open, and switch a SIM card. However seeing as we are talking about CDMA, which is different. These companies know exactly what the phones in your network using the NHS, so that a network will not allow discount on your network, even if they have the right radios in them. I presume AT & T has a contract with Evo, but still it is not possible with Verizon.

    For wanting the 3D EVO Lightning. Well, the specifications of the EVO 3D are better, but Ray is a mobile LTE in the Verizon network. If you're in an area of LTE, I think we will be further blissful with the performance of the Lightning. The only drawback I see is the battery life. However, despite the 3D EVO has a superior battery that does not mean that the battery will last for more time. Keep in mind that the battery in the 3D EVO has to drive a 3D screen and WiMax.

    Law, but HTC makes some unique to each carrier. Verizon has the Lightning, which is something like the Evo 4G. They are a slight further back in front of HTC, but I'm sure extra are coming soon. You can forever jump ship for 3 Evo. Sprint will give 125.00 to port your number, which helps the Verizon Foundation. a foreign company can activate a Sprint phone on their network, but that's only if permitted. They know exactly what phones it has sold and if they wanted, as well as U.S. company’s do not have to allow activation.

    For if the carriers do not have exclusive phones that should compete on coverage, rates and customer service alone. With exclusive, operators can attract customers who really want a phone, regardless of other factors. The best example is the iPhone until earlier this year. Verizon can even ask that question. They are the ones who know best with these futures contracts or availability of services of the same.
