What are you some kinda of wimp calling a 6oz phone extremely heavy?

Knock it off.

I won't call any one a wimp, BUT my wife ( and I) use a TP2 and should doesn't complain about the weight.

Don't know but maybe it's one of these orientation widgets. Close as I could find......

I think I found it.. its called "Spare Parts" and theres a setting that allows rotation animation.

Yea thats it, btw I had this on my Hero and it was amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend this app, although I haven't really installed it on an Evo yet, I'm sure it will help

I thought that rotation setting was only for phones that are using Android 1.5?

 

[AmphibiousRodent]

Thanks for the help guys! Its almost time to EVOlve! been without a phone for 2 weeks and its tearing the ass outta me!

I've mentally prepared myself for the moment when Charlie opened the wrapper to find the golden ticket! I'm soooo...ready for the EVO

If you have a Pre with a 2600 battery in it...it weighs exactly 6 ounces, I just weighed it. How cool is that....nothing is going to change for me, my arm is still going to get the same workout as it has been for the last year! If anything, the Evo will feel lighter to me due to its much larger size.

Lol, here we go... I am 6' 3", 245LBS, 12% body fat. Work out 4 time a week. BUT... I cannot hold a phone (no matter what size or weight) up to my ear for 10 mins without my biceps getting sore. I have to keep switching hands. I use a bluetooth ear piece 99% of the time. If it wasn't for the bluetooth, my cell phone calls would be no more than 5 mins. I'll do the same with the EVO.

WOW!, this is so true!! Didnt start with me till i hit about 35yo, now i MUST use headset!!

YES Me TOO!! Sold my CraPRE last week to get while the gettin's good!!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is even worse for being able to hold a phone. Sometimes it's mere seconds before my hand goes numb. I'm thinking it's time for a new bluetooth with the $20 credit and/or 15% discount at RS.

Thanks. Pre accelerometer better than the EVO? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from a former pre owner to a current pre owner (yes i have an evo, Im a BBY Mobile manager) The pre's accelerometer is faster.

We don't know if it's the physical accelerometer that is lagging behind or Androids implementation of it. Lets see what Froyo has to offer.

 

[storino03]

wow, i thought the pre's accelerometer was slow as hell

 

[tntsniper#CB]

Are you serious? The Pre's was one of the fastest on the market. It def was faster than the iphones.

 

[fonefanatic]

I thought the Pre's was pretty slow too! It took a couple of seconds for mine to rotate

Well if you guys think the Pre's slow, you're really in for a shocker with the Evo.

 

[fonefanatic]

My Pre has a lot of bugs! I was thinking they maybe the reason for the slow accelerometer cuz mine is really slow. I haven't had the chance to see the EVO's yet. But that is not a big deal with me either way on either phone. I just have many other issues with the Pre that drive me crazy
