Got the EVO

[PanzyDog]

So I got the EVO again and have been having a blast playing with it. Hell even my GF and kids are wowed by it! And the GF doesnt usually like touch screen phones but now want one! Still absolutely amazed at its size and speed. It simply makes my Hero and any other phone look like a joke. Screen is remarkable.

Anyway, if anyone has anything specific they want to know or want me to try out let me know.

How well is the kickstand secured? Do you see the kickstand becoming an issue later in the life of the phone (flopping)?

Thanks!

It is mega solid. I dont see it being an issue ever. The entire device feels like one piece of metal and very sturdy. Have watched a couple of clips on it using the kick stand and it is just right for viewing.

Have you had it long enough to guage how the battery holds up throughout the day?

I recall you mentioning and from your 1st set of pics that you were able to get a 4g connection. How fast is the 4g connection that you're getting with real world use? Also, does the phone get hot/warm when using data heavily?

Looking at it, I doubt this would work, but...

Can the kickstand hold the phone up in portrait mode, for easier reading?

How easy is it to plug in the usb cable for charging? (Yes, seems trivial, but the usb port on my Pre has always been a pain to plug into for some reason - perhaps the design of the hole in the shell?)

Battery life was not great last night but we did a lot of playing with it. Was fully charged at about 4PM but depleted to about 25% in a few hours of pretty constant use.
The 4G is spotty in KC right now. I could get a decent signal downtown but when I went home which is north of downtown no 4G signal at all. But to be fair the network isnt officially complete.
The stand doesnt work in portrait mode, feels like it would but it is just too wobbly.
The micro USB connects easily as it is right at the bottom and no cover for it unlike that insane Pixi connection!

25% after a few hours of constant use sounds good to me.

Notifications: are they multi-color?

Thanks.
