Ok, so about 3 weeks post-Pre. I'm pretty much 98% in love with the 3D. Here's the 2% that bug me:
1. I want to hit the search button, type in first initial / first few letters of last name and get a list of contacts. Instead I get a page full of google search hits, followed by a seemingly random ONE contact that matches the entered pattern, when in reality there are several (e.g. entering "jsmi" i would want to see john smith, jeff smith, jim smith, etc). I'd rather see all my contact matches first followed by some google hits.
2. I'd love to be able to long hold search, then say "Text John Smith stuck in traffic, be there in 20" as advised earlier in this thread. However, when I do this I get a text to nobody with the body of the text as "John Smith stuck in traffic, be there in 20". I've found out this is because voice commands only work with gmail contacts. All of my business contacts are on my company's Exchange server. Voice search needs to search your phone, not your gmail account!
3. I miss the swipe to delete....long hold then tap delete just isn't quite the same...
A couple of my favorite things about the Evo 3D:
1. Speed, speed, responsiveness, and oh did I mention speed!
2. My Exchange email is finally in HTML!
3. My "app available for iPhone and Android" jealously is no more.
4. Battery life has been much better for me with the Evo 3D than the Pre...I come home from work in the low 20%'s instead of dead by lunchtime if I don't charge (and this with full bars of Sprint service at work and 4G active all day).
Oh, and DanPLC, great to see you here! I'm joining many others in keeping my Pre around as an MP3 player using, of course, Music Player (Remix).
That and something my boys can play Angry Birds on without using up all the juice on my active phone...
