EVO Owner Reviews

[RUSH]

I made the switch on from BlackBerry. I have an 8330 that I got when they came out. It was a very hard decision, I was a Berry addict... shuttered at the thought of using anything else. My 'Berry buddies' were dropping like flies(all going to the Android platform) and on a whim Tuesday, I headed to Sprint and got a white EVO. Love this phone and can't believe I was so blind this long... Its like comparing a 1976 Ford Pinto to a Ferrari Enzo. Still getting used to a touch screen but so far so good.

Hi, Dusty.
I'm happy to hear about your transition from BB to Android. A wise decision I can say that much.

The phone you're holding in your hand is one.. if not, one of HTC masterpiece.
I have one too.. and loving it more every day.

Enjoy your phone - and moreso enjoy the forums.

Rush, why'd you switch from your beloved Pre?
The timing of it was extremely suspect.

You used to talk about it like you wanted to marry it. You even said you bought extra ones in case that one broke down.

Back on topic...


My EVO has never let me down. Period.

I absolutly LOVE my EVO. I happen to be very loyal to my phones. I actually had a Samsung Blade thru Sprint for almost 5 Years. When I finally broke down and used my up grade - I was told that they discontinued the Blade. So I went to the Samsung Instinct. Which I had for about 2 years. Then I saw the EVO... I rushed out to purchase it and was sad to learn they were back ordered ALL over the city. I then snapped to reality and went to Radio Shack. I was then told they had a list I could get on and I went to three differant Radio Shacks and put my name on all three lists. To my surprise - the store that supposedly had 125 ppl on the list, called me 4 days later and told me that if I agreed to buy two accessories - they would sell me the phone that day. WEll I jumped in my car and drove to RS. I got there and he had all the stuff ready to go... I bought the phone expecting to pay 350+ dollars, but I also forgot they take care of the mail in rebate for you - so I spent 250 instead. Well I knew he had hustled me a little bit with the whole accessory thing, so when I got home, I immediatly went on Ebay and bought my screen protector and a case and a few days later when they arrived - I took the un used screen protector and case back to the RS and got a refund for those items...

I love the EVO - especially after I rooted it. The ONLY thing I hate about the EVO is that the iPhone and Captivate both have WA better screens for watching movies and YouTube... but hey - those phones don't have a KICKSTAND!!!! what, what?!?

The EVO rocks - upgraded from BB 8330 and have not looked back.
Picked it up for $99 at the shack last month (free bluetooth headset as well). I rarely use my laptop - all files are synced with my DropBox account, email runs well and the web browser opens all of the sites I use. The pictures and video rock! Just installed Google Listen to listen to A/C podcasts! The screen is SO much better than the Blackberry - helps my aging eye sight.

Only thing I manage for the EVO is the battery - now I have chargers at work/home/car. Just plug it in as needed throughout my day

Man that's a huge upgrade, from a curve to the evo.. I know you are still in the honeymoon with the phone.

I'm trying to get my Dad to switch from his 8330 to an Evo. He doesn't realize BB is no long the king of "business" phones. I have had my Evo since August and I LOVE it.

I think the phone is amazing. It has it's faults but over all still the best Android on the market as of now IMO.

 

[razzel]

Great reviews, want this phone

And IMHO you are wrong as to date the current Android system are MT4G(2G Snapdragon), Nexus S(Hummingbird), Droid X (OMAP). Evo 4G couldn't even beat my HD2 lol hell the $750 was fully worth it to bad its stolen now

That's what my opinion is. You're entitled to yours get it?
Those are processors. It takes more than just a faster or newer processor to make a phone all around a great device. I take it you don't have an Evo. LOL maybe you should install a dictionary app and LOL up the word "opinion "before you just say the first thing you think.

Guy your opinion was based on what? My opinion is based on actual facts that the folks can use. How much is your opinion worth these days? Keep in mind next time you give opinion online make sure it has some value and only way it will get any if it shows something intelligent.

BTW you think I don't know that what I listed the phones according to the SoCs? I have full comprehension in hardware and software about the total capabilities of it. Ya I don't own a Evo as I owned HD2 in 2009 not in 2011. We had those standard year before you saw it lol even now go compare HD2 to Evo its not even match.

You gave your opinion based on knowledge you were aware of and I gave you my opinion based on the actual applicable facts available on the current market so next time someone ask you can refer to this as update. Also don't start Evo vs HD2 war as it will take me 3sec to post 2-3links where I clearly showed HD2 2hitting Evo for its utter failure then again if you like Evo use it. In the end its your decision not anyone else.

I got my evo one week after it came out and I got to say its the best phone I ever had. I'm still amazed what I can do with it!!

Blah....blah....If you didn't notice the thread is tittled Evo Owners Review....

So the fact is ....you don't have a Evo so how can you give a review? The OP didn't ask about an hd2 or whatever. That's not even android period. WTH are you comparing a Evo to a hd2 or a touch pro for? Are you somehow trying to convence the OP to get a windows phone? How does your opinion provide facts that will benefit anyone?
This thread is about reviews for the Evo. And that's a fact your opinion is not even relevant. Why because you can't review something you don't own. Are we there yet?
You're in over your head son, quit now.....

Thanks for sharing your IQ with rest of the world buddy. Its clear you obviously missed the focal point of my post which was directed at you for giving wrong information regarding current top device on market which all happens to be on AOSP platform moron or couldn't you comperhend that?

Also it clear you have no idea what you are talking about thinking HD2 can't run AOSP lmao fact is Leo is the "only" device which can run more Android from from SDCARD, RAM also via NAND. Don't forget WM6/W6.5.X/WM7 along with access to Ubuntu, MeeGo as its the most versatile platform independent device ever made. Don't run your mouth as "You're in over your head son, quit now....." learn before you speak to me with your below moderate IQ.

You might want to run iPanzy 4 which maybe designed for idiots like you as you give AOSP bad name I bet you use to use Blackbarry soon as you got Evo you had no idea WTF it is but you got it anyways. Learn also diff between HD2 which came out in 2009 and your jokery device came out in 2010. Hence how you are behind the curve? Its clear you have no idea hardware wise on Evo or you wouldn't made dumb comments like that man. Again if you missed the point I made the comment correcting you for saying Evo was the top AOSP based phone on the market now. Which I classified by different SoC's to represent 3 kind of phone from each company.

 

[mbeezy]

Do you even have an android phone? Seriously you haven't even been a member a month. WTF why are you giving an opinion on something you have no grounds to even discuss? IQ? what a waste of time....you can't even read or comprehend the title of the thread.
Hey man I was giving my opinion because I happen to own a Evo and have owned several android phones since the G1. What happened did you get run away from crackberry or something?

Moron I am on XDA as my post is older than you are don't run your mouth as you seem to go off topic every time I slap you and correct you. Learn to read before you post directly at me.

"I think the phone is amazing. It has it's faults but over all still the best Android on the market as of now IMO."

LOL? what are you talking about? look before you speak man. Do you see any of my thread's edited? Even if I said that I would be correct? How did I know then? you never said anything. Don't be bitter just admit it that you were wrong as you had no idea about top current AOSP based device. You are Evo fanboy thats all I just corrected you no need to go crazy this is internet lol.
