OK, boys and girls. It's review time, and I've got one. Have questions, fire away!

besdies kickstand/physical camera buttons, is the screen/layout the same to where ONE X screen protectors would also fit? its the exact same screen and dimensions, so i would assume the light sensor or anything else on the screen would be a match, right?


TIA


also, MHL is standard and non oem MHL converters should work with this right?
 
also, when/how will you award winners of "guess the release date" as pinned in this forum... TIA
 
Is it worth upgrading from the epic 4g touch? does it lag? How's the picture and video quality? That's it lol
 
Can you turn off the 4G/LTE radio to save battery as I will not have it in my area for some time?
 
Looking forward to the review, Phil! Here are some questions:

* How much/what kind of bloatware did it come with?
* How is the 3G reception as compared to your other Sprint-type phones (ex/ Galaxy Nexus)
* Is there a way to disable the external camera button from turning on your phone? I'm asking in case it's in your pocket
* It looks like we have antennas in the removable back cover, does it look like something a third-party will be able to reproduce so we can buy custom?

Thanks as always!
 
How is the speaker phone?? I've had all the EVO's and the speaker phones have all been aweful.
 
Congrats on getting one to "play" with! :-)

Other than the battery, which everyone else want's to know about, how's the screen look in sunlight, and how fast is data access on the Micro SD card? I'm coming off of an Evo 4G contract and would like to see this compared against the Sammy S-III (I know the One X was compared)
 
Extrenal speaker sound quality? Also, when placed flat, does it rest on the camera lens like the past Evo's?
 
How is the camera in low light situations? Is it better than the Iphones?

How is the flash functionality? Is it actually useful now or still washing everything out?

(yes I'm bitter...the EVO3d has been a bit of a let down and I'm considering Samsung but this might be the RedeemVo.)
 
Is it, in fact, the exact same screen as the one-x? No surprises or last second switches? (unless they're for the better!) Battery life of course you won't know until you use it for a while, but obviously interested in that.

I know you've played with it before, but now that you've had it for an extended period of time and recently been playing with the GS3 and other new phones at CTIA (and the one-x of course)...how can you honestly rate the sexiness in person comparatively to other "flagship" phones?
