What is the reaction to your Evo from your non-techy friends/family?

[mcll]

I assume they have all been impressed, any good reaction stories? Bad?

 

[emergenc911]

"That phone is huge!"

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Is it like an Iphone? Whose your carrier? I reply "Sprint" they reply with an unenthusiastic "oh"

 

[d3xn2o]

"Why would you ever need a phone to do so much"

I kindly respond... You'll Understand one day when you would need your phone to do something other then call and TxT...

[dekcufi]

mine always ask "is that an iphone" i tell them i phones are for girls

 

[joek1971]

I say right after I have Sprint I say you save lot of $$$ with Sprint one of my friends jumped from T-Mobile to Sprint and says now she has service and loves it.

"I like the screen on yours better."
"Is that like the droid?"
"Can you talk on it?"
"Is that an mp3 player?"
"I can read that!"

Most people aren't looking beyond the size of the screen.

Pretty much

I was reading comments on Engadget, the one about the Sprint-T-mobile merger. One comment was:

"Damn, I haven't seen this many levels of fanboyism for something medicore since Firefly. I think all of you must love Sprint just because it's unpopular."

Some people just can't stand Sprint.

 

[joek1971]

Sprint has to do better job of commercials for it, and show them more frequent. And HTC has to get more build and get them out the door, both companies are loosing here.

 

[t0ast3d]

Person: "Wow, that's big"

Me: "I know"

"is that like an iphone?"
"is it better than an iphone?"

etc etc. I do also get the sprint hate. I haven't had any problems with them yet and I love their plan with the Evo.

 

[barleysoda]

Person: "Is that the new Iphone?"
Me: "no its the HTC EVO"
Person: "I must have the new Iphone 4"
Me: "Well this phone is better"
Person: "I dont care"
Me: "this phone has a larger screen"
Person: "I dont care"
Me: "this phone is 4G"
Person: "I dont care, I want the new Iphone 4"
Me: "this phone has a genie that can grant you 3 wishes..."

 

[DougB541#CB]

hahahah.

Once i don't have an evo yet but when i tell someone i am on sprint they sometimes scoff, until i tell them how much i pay and what i get then they never believe me.

Then i show them.


Then some sign up.

I've signed 5 friends with Sprint (and got my referral bonus with all of them). If they are living in the NYC area i have no resignations about Sprint at all.

BINGO! Whipped out my EVO on vacation, guy excitedly says ' is that the new iphone?' I said no it's the new EVO. He's says, 'oh' and literally turns his back and begins taking too someone else. Lol

 

[Yourdogsdead]

In summary, people suck.

 

[FractalSphere]

Them "Oh wow scrolling screens and apps, my iPhone did that 3 years ago!"

Me "Yeah, but I can actually talk on my phone without screaming 'hello? hello?' during my conversation"

-- brief debate on how awesome Sprint service is compared to AT&T --

 

[b0ricua]

Them: "What kind of phone is that?"
Me: "HTC Evo"
Them: "...."
Me: "It's Sprint's newest Android device"
Them: "OHHHH, its the Droid!!"
Me: "Yep"

The last yep given is me just giving up....
