I would take yours back and get a new one. There has to be something wrong with it. Honestly, for a cell phone, these are the best pics I have ever taken. Check around online for people who posted pics and video from the Evo. Now, it does not beat a Digital Camera, or a DSLR, but it is not supposed to. My digital camera takes much better pictures, but it also has a 10x optical zoom (for those who don't know, go for the optical zoom, ignore the digital zoom).
Wow, is this camera horrible.
That's the best they could do?
