His. And you forgot MMS. How late did they come to get that?
Apple isn't the trend-setter people make them to be.

After reading all day about Stevie Jobs' lame attempt to stop the bleeding that Android Nation is inflicting on his beloved iPhone. And after giving him credit that the iPhone 4 does have a great screen (for a 60" hdtv), and great (one hour longer than EVO) battery life, and chrome-bodied antenna... blah, blah, blah... I must say that Jobby fell for the "Okie dok" hook, line, and sinker.
If that is all he could come up with versus the EVO, then he may as well just go ahead and bring both the crown and the belt on over to the new Champ: EVO.
No 4G, no HDMI output, a VGA, front camera, a 5MP back camera, no micro SD, no Flash support, and multi-tasking(finally)... Huh!?
What in the world will you do when EVO meets Froyo? I mean, my EVO is blazing right now on Elcair... I can only imagine what Froyo will do to my EVO. But don't worry Stevie boy, I will still let your fanboys tether thier iToys to a real masterpiece.
sorry, just had to jet that off my chest.
Because of the way they did it (the OS scales easily to the new resolution), they were able to avoid problems like they would have had going from say, the Desire to the Evo. (Evo elements are MUCH larger than the Desire's) It isn't just stretching things or shrinking them, because the OS handles it very differently than that.
I get called an Apple fanboy, but I know what I'm buying. I know the i4 isn't the most advanced phone out there. I know the OS doesn't do everything that Android does. When Apple came out with the 3GS I rolled my eyes since it was 90% of my 3G.
But for me, it does what I NEED it to better than Android, and I find it more intuitive. I'm choosing to go back to the iPhone because it fits MY needs better.
dont really care about your opinion i was just making some general statements
Well duh it doesn't have 4G. No other carrier in the US has an operational 4G network. What would have been the point of including very expensive 4G components in a phone on a network that doesn't support it?
As for your other criticisms, I just say meh. The Evo might have a higher MP rear camera, but it'll take worse pictures. (even the Nexus One takes better pictures) Jobs made a big deal about this, and its a point that apparently went over your head. MicroSD might be a valid point, but unlike the Evo, the i4 includes 16gb of memory onboard.
I think its funny that you think the Evo will somehow manage to beat the iPhone. As anyone that's been paying attention should know, specs don't really matter. (and that's ignoring the fact that the iPhone really isn't behind the spec-wise) Sales are all that matters and if you think the Evo will 'win' against the iPhone you're going to have a very rude awakening.
No sir. The problem is that it is NOT all about the numbers. The Iphone is 1 phone/device that gets all of one big company's resources. Apple kind of reminds me of Honda and Toyota. While they are both great companies with great histories (until recently for Toyota), most people but both now based a lot on name alone and that really all the iPhone has going for it.
2-3 years ago the iphone was far superior to ANYTHING else on the market technology wise. No question. Now it is not and all most apple fanboys can say is "look who sells more."
Remember, you or I don't get the money that comes from selling hundres of thousands or millions of these devices. I can only judge on two fronts; the device I have in my hand and what it cost me to use that device to it's fullest potential.
In that respect, for the individual, the iphone has been equaled or passed. But it is always easier to follow the pack than not to. It's your choice and all I can say is congrats on your new iPhone.
