From Cisco Systems I get a 21% discount. Tack that on to Sprint's already low price and nobody can touch it!

I get 20% from my employer's subcontractor (which makes no sense). The discount (like all of them) *ONLY* applies to the plan, not the $10 smartphone fee, not to the insurance, not to any other fees or taxes.

I'm notoriously hard to please, but I'm loving the new EVO. The only complaint I have is the way it handles links...sending you to web apps instead of the installed applications. That part drives me nuts because I prefer using the app, when installed.

Loving it just as I've loved my Evo 4g and Evo 3D.

Oh Oh, another Ham.

I ditched Sprint (and therefore this new Evo) and went to the GNex (using a T-mobile sim).

I was not happy with the Evo's design, and excited to get a cheaper phone plan and vanilla android.

However, there will always be a part of me that will miss the upgrade loop of the latest phones.

I am not trolling or looking to compare the Evo to the GNex. I am genuinely curious about how much people like their new Evos.

You should try simple mobile.

It's 40 bucks a month for unlimited everything on the t mobile network.

I'm very happy with mine. For anyone thinking of getting one, just keep in mind that as with all things, more people will take the time to complain than to praise.

I tried it. The only problem with it was the BATTERY!

If you get more than 12 hours out of this battery, it's because you don't use your phone much, period.

With all the battery tweaks, I only got 12 hours!

When I used it something serious I only got 8.

I notice people who claim these incredible battery lives use most of it on standby and idle.

If you use your phone, you'll notice that the screen uses the vast majority of the battery.

Then voice.

There isn't a some good reason to put this phone into production without the ability to change the battery.

I challenge anyone to give me a good reason to her rid of the replaceable battery

Why do you need replacement battery for, do any tablets have replacement batteries? You get better life with it built in as it doesn't rely on the pin connection. If you need a hard reset just hold power, and no phone will last long if you play on it non stop. And most people don't have the time in the day to play on there phone non stop. I listen to pandora for 8 hours everyday at work and I never go below 75%. If you think a removable battery is a deal breaker you won't be upgrading to the latest phone as I'm sure they are doing away with them

It's needed because one battery simply isn't enough. If it isn't replaceable, it should at least give me a days worth of a charge. If you can't give me that much, the battery should be replaceable, period.

You don't have to play on it nonstop to kill a battery off.

At least samsung understands this. Galaxy s 3 - totally replaceable battery.

Will have a spare in the back pocket.

Hopefully samsung continues the trend

In 12 hours you're never in an area you can charge your phone? Firstly twelve hours is plenty for me since I'll usually be home at some point during that time and if I'm not for what ever reason I've got a car charger. I guess I just don't understand the need for 24 hours on these phones. Unless it's just a reason to complain.

I get around 10 hours and if I go out I have an external charger that I put in my pocket. Never seems to be a problem

Plus you can buy a $35 external battery with 300% the capacity of the phone that can charge the phone if necessary. No phone (except MAYBE the Razor Max) has a longer battery life than the Evo LTE. I was on a voice call for two hours, with bluetooth, and also doing some updating and stuff and it only used 12%! I don't use it much at work; when I get home it usually has used only 10% of the battery. For most people, this is plenty enough.

I'm very happy with my HTC EVO LTE. It's fast, thin, great screen, and I do like the Sense OS overlay. What I really like is the fantastic battery life. With my previous smartphones (Palm Pixi and Samsung Nexus S 4G), I needed to constantly charge them while driving in my car or at my office desk. But with the EVO LTE, I can use it all day, listen to Pandora streaming to my Ford My Touch system in my car for my 2+ hour drive to and from work without having to plug it in for charging. And, I still have 50% or more battery life available by the end of my day!

Sure, the 3G network speeds aren't the greatest, but they suffice for what I need now (email checking, web browsing). Sprint is suppose to have LTE running in the Seattle area later this year, and I see that as a bonus when that's working!

I have an Anker 6700 that I used every day to recharge my EVO 3D.

I've had my EVO4GLTE since May 24th and have yet to need to recharge it during the day.

I'm a heavy user and this battery life is beyond belief.

We obviously define heavy use differently.


There still hasn't been a single good reason named for why the battery can't be changed.

No excuse for it

[The Hustleman]

Also are you all aware of the fact that a phones battery loses a good percentage of it's charge capacity after just one year?

2 year contract, 1 year battery life.....

I could never get more than 4 to 6 hours out of my 4G and 3D before recharging. I can easily get 12 hours plus from my EVO4GLTE.

For me heavy use would be about an hour of phone time, an hour of GPS app and music during my run, and about two to three hours of internet time dispersed throughout the day and evening.

I do have a family and a profession that demand a lot of my time.

How do you define heavy use, Hustleman?
