iPhone 4 or EVO 4G: which one should you get? -- Engadget

Voted

Totally irrelevant since both phones aren't on the same carrier. Yes I know they mentioned carrier in the comparison but this is just epeen stroking. Most of us have already chosen our carrier and switching isn't an option (no phone is worth the ETF).

Sorry but there are iPhone users around the world so if they also voted it would crush the evo. It's facts. It's stupid they have a poll up and running due to evo is us only. Really if u have a evo and are happy then just be happy.1poll of evo vs iPhone4 makes no sense cuz it just shows how sad people are and that they are just fanboys. Evo vs iPhone is only starting bull**** between people and create problems.

Crazy ending week for the fruit company

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to get your civil thoughts on the fruit companys crazy launch issues. I think its good news for Google and others. One thing Apple hates is bad press and they are sure getting lots of it.

Evo vs iPhone 4

Did you guys see this article on engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/iphone-4-or-evo-4g-which-one-should-you-get/ . Clearly the evo is a better phone. I agree with most of the article. Ive had the iphone like ive said in other threads and ive used apples browser. Android has a far superior browser then iphones. So im not sure what engadgets talking about apple doesnt even support flash.

i think that it is amazing that a company like apple did not do their due diligence in regards to QA with this device. i hesitate to use the word arrogant, but that is that attitude that apple has always seemed to display as it pertains to the smartphone competition, and it is even more staggering that this is the attitude they continue to display even in the wake of all these issues (referring to steve jobs' response to a customer complaining of the antenna issue: "hold the phone differently"). its of course not a company destroying issue, and the fanboys will always defend apple forever, but no doubt these issues will lead to many people losing faith in the brand and jumping ship, likely jumping to android (which is fine by me).

battery issues?
Why would three respected journalists claim incredible iPhone battery life when it’s simply not the truth.

EVO users arent alone (and we have a bigger screen)

 

[meyerweb#CB]

Can the mods create a new forum for iPhone 4 vs. Evo posts? Then those of us who really don't care can avoid them even more easily.

 

[rabernet]

It may or may not have been a fluke on the first batches but I do recall some people having that problem where when you turned the phone on its side and tried to send a text, the button appeared to be out of the screen so you couldn't send it. They must have fixed it then.

I was an early adopter (got it a day before release), I'm still on my original phone, and I've not had any of the issues you've listed in your posts. My Incredible has exceeded my expectations.

Yes, we saw this article the first 50+ threads that were created before this one...

Click on link watch video and post your comment here guys.

Wow that was a very nice and fair video and that from an iPhone user. Now THAT is how you do a review!

Now in return some fairness of my own.

I did notice some stuttering on the Live Wallpaper screen, due to background apps. Android is still not perfect with that.

I also noticed at 5:57 the Evo's battery dropped a lot. I wonder why, I have never seen my drop a whole segment like that but then it may just have been the way the indicator works.

I have seen the iPhone and the display does look great but on web pages etc.. I still think the Evo is as good. I can read tiny text about equal. Remember the iPhone is smaller so it will look crisper way up close of course. It is nice, no doubt. I will bet anything the Evo 2 will be double the res. Oh man I cannot wait for the next generation of the Evo. I am sure they will fix most of the complaints we have.

One year from now is going to be very interesting!

WOW! Did you see how much more information the Evo has on the web browser though? It was a huge difference. Thumbs up to the Evo there!

We all know how the Evo can suck battery when using BT or GPS. I am curious how well the iPhone handles that one on one. I would like to see a similar application running on both for a few hours with GPS or BT and measure the battery usage. I am curious if the Evo is just average with that. My Pre sucked juice a lot as well using those. I do think with Androids background tasks ability it drains a bit more but it is not night and day or better not be! ii

I can also change out my battery if need be so HA!! ii
