How many of you getting the EVO are coming from a Pre/Pixi?

[mkampy]

i wouldnt technically call it jumping ship. I have an Iphone (company paid for) but i will be getting an evo for personal use

Enable WIfI sharing and you will have one of the first 4G iphones !!

FWIW, I wont be jumping ship, just jumping platforms, BB8830 to Android. I was considering the Hero til I saw that the EVO is due out. Available to upgrade in Aug, but I will see what I can do !

 

[PHADE]

YEP!!!


I'm going To Drop My WhackBerry Like A Bad Habit
And
Go Pick Up The EVO Like A Crying Baby!!!

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

I love my Hero.... But yeah, I'm drooling over the screen and video playback (like the incredible demo).

Bye Pre, it's been fun, I was an enthusiastic supporter, I made 5 of my friends get one, I checked the App Catalog several times a day but grew tired of the apps in there, grew tired of the inconsistent performance, grew tired of the TMC error, grew tired of overall sluggishness of the OS, grew tired of waiting 30 secs for Google maps to come up, grew tired of all the bad press. Man I just typed "grew tired" way too many times!

Then they announced the Evo, and I am as entusiastic about it as I was about the Pre when it was announced. I used to call Android "the dark side" and a clusterf*** of differnt OS versions (which is still partially true), but it seems Google is on track making good on that and keeping most phones on the same version. Now all they have to do is let us install games on the microSD card without having to resort to trickery so that the big time game developers embrace the Android OS as they do the true dark side, meaning, you know, that fruit company....

The game manufacturers can place the meat and potatoes of the game on the sd card now if they want to. What they do though, is just use the SD card for storing cache (game data of completed success). The reason is that it isn't secure enough and pirating would be too easy. There needs to be some kind of encryption if you're going to put it on the SD card.

 

[MannyZ28]

Yep, that's what I am talking about, make it so that the Devs feel secure about their software not getting pirated and everyone will be happy. Gaming on the Pre was OK, but better on the iPhone due to the larger screen (and lack of TMC error), and it just has to be even better on 4.3" of screen real estate!

 

[bighill27]

hell yes

i have the and i can't wait to upgrade to the EEVVVVOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jstew10]

Another Pre convert. webOS is seriously awesome and it breaks my heart to give it up (no, I'm not being sarcastic). I was really hoping that Palm would right the ship and come out with a compelling webOS device, but i can't imagine anyone topping this device in the near future. Of course, I probably say that every year.

Yeah, I'll be grabing the Evo the instant Sprint will let me.

 

[Scincidae]

I can't really afford to drop my current iPhone 3G + plan for the EVO but I am hoping my job lets me work again for the summer since I am a poor college student. I would love to be able to afford the Incredible or the EVO. (The cancellation + upfront cost of the phone is what I can't afford, not the monthly)

 

[flyawaymike]

yep, iPhone to EVO.

 

[itch808]

Blackberry will meet its death, thank god

 

[Race Harley]

It seems like the hype went from the Nexus One to the Evo in a blink! I'm looking forward to the EVO myself. I haven't upgraded my phone in 5 years (Motorola RAZR) and every time I'm ready to buy a phone something else amazing comes out.

If WiMAX becomes dominant, I think the Evo will last two years (at least). Plus if you are on sprint, you get to upgrade every year if you are premier, which you will be if you get the bare minimum data plan.

 

[H_D]

Yezzir! Leaving my Tour for the EVO as soon as it drops on Sprint.

 

[yazman666]

Im so done with my rooted mytouch 3g and tmobile ...evo here i goooooooooo!!!

 

[MannyZ28]

In my opinion, Sprint has a much better chance of gaining a lot of subscribers thanks to the Evo/4G than they did with the Pre. I am thinking this will be a good your for Sprint.

 

[ohthebaby]

will be leaving my pre for this, it was a fun phone but enough is enough

How many WebOs Users Switching??

I'm curious, I see a lot of WebOs Users being sucked in my the evo, including me.

 

[dwhitman]

Yep. Launch-day Pre owner, long-term Palm user, about to be a launch-day Evo owner.

 

[ZDriver]

Me three!!! I love that 4.3" screen real estate.
