[fr4nk1yn]

I figure i'll know something by june 6th

uh.. Know what?!

Thanks for answering all the question. I've been following all day.
Bummer on the notifications. Green/Red is so retro. A nice simple white is always preferred IMO.

I need to know the exact same thing for my friend who is a Fox News Junkie. The Sprint rep told me that all the preimium channels that you pay 10 extra for now will be included with our extra 10. He even noted my friends account that he will get Fox News for that extra 10. He said Premium Data meant those Premium Channels. I still don't know if that's true. But my friend said he went to Sprints website searching for Sprint TV and he couldn"t find where Fox News was even on there anymore is it? Thanks,

I have a question for you regarding Sprint TV on the EVO. Is the cannel line up the same as Sprint TV on the Pre? There's been speculation tthat morechannels will be included on the EVO, but I'm not so sure. I recently subscribed to Sprint TV Xtra for an addidional $10 and wouldn't want to pay that plus the $10 'premium data' fee if say, Fox News was available on the EVO w/o subscribing to Sprint TV Xtra. If you could tell me whether or not Fox News is on the standard lineup or ifits still only avail on Xtra, I would be most appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking your time to answer questions for us! I didn't see anyone ask how the screen looked outside? My Pre and Hero look terrible in sunlight. So far the only phone that looks good in the sun is a Blackberry. Did you have a chance to take the EVO outside?

Thanks.

I thought all the Google apps were on there.I guess you get them from the app store? Android is all new to me. Is Google Nav on there already? I just hope the Navi turns when you put the phone in the car dock. I so can't wait for this phone.

I can't list them but the only additional app I saw was Qik. Everything else was HTC standard.. no goggles. no google earth.
software is the same as the Incredible

hopefully you cant get fox news--the world would be better off w/o --sorry little sidebar got mine preordered stilll holding out hope of news of a new webos device though

I would like to see an HD video recorded with the phone, outside in bright sunlight. So I can compare the quality to my Flip.

If a snazzy new webOS device is announced before the 4th I think a lot of people would wait and it would hurt EVO sales.

i used to be a news junkie. i am a lifelong Republican but i can't stand any political news shows or channels anymore - regardless of whether they're on the right or the left. all of the big mouth loud mouth talking heads are so obnoxiously annoying on both sides i can't stand any of them. all they try to do is try to whip viewers up into a frenzy with their faux moral outrage and self righteous indignation for ratings.

i've stopped watching it all and i'm much happier for it.

Another Pre user here, and likely convert to the htc EVO once it breaks next month.

Great thread, thanks for all the super insight @doc31. There is NO WAY on planet earth I would have been able to keep up w/the volume of questions coming your way... NICELY DONE.

Navi is preload with its own icon. Its seems to work well.

I was surprised about the goggles also considering how much sprint demo'd it

Is the battery for the evo the same one that is in the TP2 and hero?

 

[doc31]

I also got a chance to play with the Evo this weekend. If you have questions... I can add to this thread but there isn't much more than what doc31 has said.

I am glad Sprint isn't acting like they did with the Pre and advocates are allowed to share with customers coming in asking about the device (not how I got to play with it BTW, but I know they are allowed to share still).

Does anybody know if the stores will get demo units in before launch?

My thoughts on Goggles not being preinstalled... FroYo is (I believe) trying to get away from fragmentation, therefore apps are going to become separate downloads. Putting it into ROM takes up space that isn't necessary and can be downloaded from the market just as easily.

Is the battery for the evo the same one that is in the TP2 and hero?

It is... Same as the Hero's 1500 mah but just a different color. Red vs. Black.

one of the reasons i am buying from BB and not Sprint Retail is because BB may not be perfect but their staff are a lot more professional and friendly than Sprint Retail. i have encountered some of the most miserable, lazy, unprofessional, unfriendly, sales people at Sprint Retail. and i'm not some kid off the street - i'm a professional and these people act like i am bothering them and they are doing me a favor.
