The crazed pilgrim has renounced puritanism and requests a media device with which to tarnish his soul upon through non-Church-sanctioned content.

Yes. Read the thread. No.

Nothing about that price match guarantee invalidates the claim that this is possible or says that the promotion would be voided for price-matched phones. Your logic is faulty. Calling to confirm is a good idea anyway, but otherwise that's all FUD.

It's actually a 50 dollar credit for the Evo along with a 50 dollar gift card, and the additional 50 dollar gift card for the pre-order deal. So you have an optional 100 dollars in gift cards, but a dedicated 50 dollar credit. Did you get any information on what state they'd accept Evos in? You...

Months ago after mine seemed on its way out I filed off the black paint on the outside to give it a red trim layer, which disqualifies it from gently-used qualifications anywhere. I'm hoping they'll take mine too. Combined with the price-match from Walmart that I'll hopefully get tomorrow I may...

The official documentation says that the Evos they'll take are "gently used" and that they only accept one phone traded in per customer. The gently-used thing is apparently not true but I'm guessing the limit is.

Absolutely love the pictures of the area outside of City Hall Park/Brooklyn Bridge and of the Woolworth.

Don't feed the trolls, friends. Don't feed the trolls.

Why does it seem like Evo users see those three processes (sys/stby/idle) taking up so much more battery real-estate than on other Android phones?

That's nice, but "sounds" like doesn't mean anything. You gotta handle it and find out.

Biased is fine, but at least be educated. This guy seems to have no idea how to run an efficient Android setup, which anyone who reads for a good half hour or 45 minutes online can learn. Ignorance is no excuse for difficulties.

He seemed to experience a ton of lag on the device and his battery died with his "moderate usage" at 4 hours. His read-out showed that the system was using up 70-whatever-percent of the battery? I want to know how many processes that guy had running, because it has to be record-worthy.

I found it odd that he's only getting 4 hours of moderate usage at most out of the phone and that his battery usage was... however it was. Not really sure how to describe it. I'm guessing he left too many programs running or had something configured in a way that it would be a ridiculously large...

One man testing one of each battery using methods I've seen called into question multiple times across my information hunting vs. legions of people who will tell you that they saw an easily demonstrable (through careful observation of their daily use patterns and energy levels) performance...

I love that everyone takes the batteryboss tests at face value.
