i have the evo and love it.

 

thanks! ... its nice to hear from a critical eye isn't it?

 

hmmmm...so youre the cool one!

....what did you have before the EVO?

...did they get the flash player fixed and hows the video conf call?

 

What up brotha rick? Went by my local sprint store today, still on the waitlist LOL.

 

I'm doing good, just crazy busy.. I didn't even know what day it was... That's NOT good!
Dang Brotha, they musta shipped it by boat!

 

i have the evo and iphone 3gs. love both

 

How about a comparo infamous? And if you had to pick one

every survey that AT&T or apple that I do I always say I want 4G, cheaper plans like sprint, more droid phones like evo, and flash.

 

... I totally agree with the compro...

... and after these surveys (that I am sure a 100K peeps have done) what has ATT and Apple given back? Are they Listening?

 

FYI, engadget reported 2 problems with the phone. One was the glass detaching and another was touch dead spots.

 

yeah i just read about the glass separation. That should be an easy fix but i didnt read anything on the dead spots. Ill look into that as well.

 

the touch surface on the EVO and incredible arent as responsive when it isnt grounded.
ie. the phone is lying flat on a table, not in your hand.

 

meh it is way easier to use the phone in your hand than on a table. They will have a fix for that soon.

 

the 69.99 plan is a single line plan for 450 mins, unlmtd text and data included, unlike the competitors who charge you $30 add ons, Sprint builds it into a package, So overall you pay less with Sprint than anywhere else unless u are going with a pre paid plan / service ...I too was on the SERO plan, $30 a month..Sprint will not allow you to add the Smart Phones on that plan whether you upgrade or buy the phone out right, a previous poster stated they just buy phone and add it on, trust me..that is not true, i was able to get the Instinct on 2 years ago, but things have changed, i been fighting with Sprint for days to get them to work with me on the SERO to help me adjust to " normal " plans ...after 30 or so calls and e-mails to corporate ..i settled with the $59.99 EDRP, plus a 20% discount and was able to get them to credit me the difference in cost in credits to lower my bill to $50 a month with the added $10 data plan or 4G service charge ..so not bad, $50 a month for two years, by then the pay as you go plans like Virgins $25 a month, 300 mins , unlimited text & data will have some nice android phones or maybe even the iphone..cant wait to get the EVO, should be in the mail anyday, Radio Shack has it at $199 ..so u dont pay the $299 like at Sprint and have to wait for the $100 mail in rebate ...had to settle things with Sprint with my plan before i could go phone shopping and they are sold out

 

^Very informative post. Good stuff

 

great post! Solid info.

 

I read up on that yesterday... seems like there is a huge variance in who is affected too... I know that if I had an affected phone, it would mess me up when I am trying to dial my phone or use the GPS while its in a holder in my car... we will see.

 

 

thx for the compliments, just trying to help, also for those of you on Sprint with a contract running out, if you are not aware, there is a department at Sprint you can " bluff " or try to get them to retain ur service with called " account services or retention department " there main purpose is to retain you as a customer and can score some pretty good deals as far as a renewal or service plan that can save you money for staying with Sprint, always good to have a game plan when calling, such as why you want what you want, such as a better deal with another company, Sprint is really the best deal, but you can compare all options and bluff other competitor offers or options, for instance u can say i have been speaking with a rep at T-Mobile and has offered me such and such, and ask what are you willing to do to keep my service? keep in mind that this dept was better in the past at helping customers, sometimes you just need to call and call until you reach a agent who is willing to help, even e-mailing dan@sprint.com is a corporate e-mail if you have a legitimate beef, i felt i did , as i had a killer plan but was not able to add phones onto my great plan and was forced off it, keep ur cool, dont curse and continue the quest if need be, someone at Sprint will help you. sorry for the long story, just trying to help lol, and good luck

 

^Yeah most companies do that. ATT is smart with trying to keep it online so no room for negotiation. Plus my contract dates on my 3 lines are staggered so I'm less likely to cancel.

 

another great post...retentions FTW...

...and ATT is alil sneaky huh?

 

Well it was my fault since I had gotten them at different times. However I think they got pushed back in time for the 4 pre-sale since ATT wants everyone to get a 4.

 

So if I have the 69.99 plan plus the added total equipment protection and I'm getting the 23% discount is it even worth trying to weasel a cheaper plan? Total out the door is $67 including plan, total equipment protection, taxes, etc. I have another year on my contract anyhoo since I get my Pre 1 year ago so it's a somewhat moot point.

 

EVO in WHITE...anyone??? Exclusive at BB... Rumor? I am just too tired to read the whole thread... I really think it is true...

I got the Evo on June 4th and I havent had any of the problems listed... I did drop it on the second day I had it and put a nice big scratch on the corner

I went from the HTC Touch Pro (POS winMO) to the Hero and now the Evo so ya I like HTC Phones haha.

 

Evo 4G overclocked to 1.2GHz

Tweaked snapdragon! ... that's 30% faster... and its already fast (at least to me)...

best review by far! PRE vs EVO... with two guys testing them...

http://admin.androidcentral.com/comp...-evo-4g-sprint

 

Ugh! I hate that... I dropped my Pre on the tarmac yesterday and busted the case, but the phone was

I just couldn't get past the winmo ... how do you like the new Android OS?

 

My buddy just got this phone and I had a chance to play with it last week during our road trip.

This thing is HUGE! The screen is amazing, some of the best pictures I've seen taken by a phone, the oS is okay compared to the Pre. I find the pre simpler to use but maybe because I'm just a lot more used to it.

I find it strange that HTC made such a Zack Morris phone in an environment where all phones are getting skinnier and slicker.

I was kind of excited for this to be a potential upgrade from the Pre but now I will have to wait. I just don't think I want to haul a Netbook sized phone around with me everywhere I go.

 

Big screen or die... I guess... LOL... my eyes are getting older... so, a larger screen would be welcome for me...

 

I just can't get over it. 4.3" screen is way too big. I'd have to sew on bigger pockets onto all my pants.

 

I had the G1, MyTouch, Touch Pro 2, HD2, The iphone was mixed in there somewhere, and now I have the EVO. The phone is nice, but i love Android. And i have to say, it doesn't matter what phone, Android is the shit.

 

LOL...I must say the Pre has spoiled me into puttin it into my jeans pocket...and scrub top pocket... the latter is truly the test of size and weight...

 

So, ur sold on the Android...and u have had more phones than most peeps I know... do u think its too big?

 

I think it's safe to say that Android has more customization features than iOS. I hope Android catches up on apps as I'll consider one next year.

 

my uncle was able to get an evo and after playing with it for the past week my fiance decided she wants one but i cant seem to find this phone anywhere. Even calling and asking the sales rep, they dont even know when they will be receiving the phone. Crazy on how long the waiting lists are. I wonder if HTC is doing this as a publicity stunt, it wouldnt surprise me if they are.

 

I really want this phone. Wish they'd have a release date for Canada.

 

Mang I have been on the wait list at the Ala Mo store for 4 weeks. F-ckers said the shipment was delayed. I called Pearl Kai and their waiting list is 200 peeps deep I got my Pre the 2nd day it came out so IDK WTF is going on here.

 

Because nobody cares about the pre like they do the evo. It's serious competition to the iPhone. If the evo was on AT&T I might've gotten it instead
