Hey Forum,
Sorry I was busy. It was a crazy day and many people in the office wanted time with the much beloved EVO. It is gone now for a photo shoot so I can only answer questions as to what I remember and tried while I had it.
Didnt really get to test battery life as it was pretty depleted when I got it and I only charged it for about an hour. Didnt seem to drain any faster than my Hero. But Im sure once I have it permanently it will get a lot of use so Im anticipating having to charge it during the day. Doubt it will make it thru an entire work day.
Its speed is spectacular, although that is in comparison with the Hero and I havent used any other non-sprint Android device as I am all Sprint. Flipping thru screens and photos and videos the response was instant, no lag at all.
Yes it did have 2.1 loaded and as far as I could tell everything seemed production ready. I have had the chance to play with many pre-release phones and this one by far seemed the most complete and ready for sale.
The onscreen keyboard was great! Again in comparison to the onscreen keyboard on the Hero. But it was super big and easy to type on especially in landscape mode. I havent always been a big fan of on screen keyboards, especially the iPhones but the EVO will change my mind on that.
I also tried out the mobile hotspot app and it was super easy to turn on and use. Although at that time it was stuck in 3G mode so couldnt really test the 4g speed.
I shot a small video I will try and post but didnt get any other decent pictures. I will try and take some more and explore more of the features once we get the unit back.
