My fiancee got an Aria a few days ago, oddly when you go to change the wallpaper on it's version of Sense it asks if you want to change the regular wallpaper or the lock screen wallpaper. I wonder why the Evo doesn't do this.

Anyone else see an improvement in 4G? Sitting at my desk at work before I could sometimes connect to 4G, but never usable (~200kbps down if it worked at all). Now I still get the one bar, but I get speeds over 2000kbps. Outdoor reception remains the same, if I walk out onto the balcony 3 feet...

I'm in San Antonio and it's pretty disappointing, and Clear has been here for about a year. I get no signal at home or at work, both in heavily populated areas. Driving around with 4G on the when I get full bars the best I can get is 2Mbps down /1Mbps up. It's not why I bought the phone, so...

Comparing that to my Pre's non-autofocus camera those are fantastic. I'll just be happy that I can get my phone to focus at all on normal 12pt text on a piece of paper.

As with all insurance it's a gamble and you have to weight your own personal risk reward. That said, the TEP never seemed worth it for me. First off the phones come with a 1 year warranty against manufacturer defect. And while Sprint will try and make the swap easier if you have the TEP, they...

Does Google usually give developers pre-release copies of new android versions so they can test their apps for compatibility before release to the general public like Apple does?

The thing I'll miss from having a physical keyboard is being able to assign speed dials to physical buttons. It's nice to be able to dial a number without having to look at the device.

I got my hopes up briefly for a return of the red front grill, then I saw the serial # engraved on the front and kickstand like the units they showed at CTIA had. Sigh.

I will 3rd San Antonio being a good place for Sprint coverage. I switched from ATT when I got my Pre and overall I would say the service is slightly better. The areas that are ATT deadzones have Sprint coverage and I haven't found any Sprint deadzones in town. Service up in Austin also seems...

4G and the fact that it's the first "superphone" class Android device on Sprint.

Glad I'm in TX, every major city and lots of smaller cities have 4G/Clear. I feel bad for those 4G-less people who still have to pay the $10 though. I drive a lot from San Antonio to Austin and most of the I35 corridor has 4G. I'm hoping I'll get my $10 worth.

Also would be nice if it is compatible with the iPhone 4G (or whatever) with it's 2nd place in the US front facing camera.

I just pre-ordered mine at BB and got the $50 gift card (no tax but they wouldn't take my $15 in reward zone certificates until I pickup the phone). I saw from that stack that I am #10 on the list. Should I be worried about being #10? I know that the Best Buys in town here usually get larger...

How about the release date release date?

My understanding, at least as to how it works on GSM networks, is that there is a separate control channel that is used for things like your cellphone broadcasting it's presence to the nearest tower and negotiating switching from one tower to another while you are driving. This channel is much...
