After spending some time watching every video I could find I have come up with a few points of interest, well, at least to me:
1. The red ring around the camera, is it flush with the glass or does it protrude enough to protect the glass?
2. The new carousel in Sense, when you flip from one homescreen to the next, the wallpaper no longer moves along with the homescreen as it does on the current Evo, what does that mean to the current crop of live wallpaper? Take for example the Starfield one in which you seem to be flying through space, as you go to the homescreens on the left and right, the path of the stars changes akin to looking outside of the left and right window, will they still function? I personally just use regular pictures as wallpapers, it was nice to not see the whole picture and that you had to "discover" the rest by swiping left or right to see the whole thing eventually.
3. Apparently buggy software for the weather app and camera app, they either didn't work or crashed the phone in a lot of videos. Kind of disturbing if you ask me, I was hoping they'd be further along in the software building process.
4. Those fancy weather animations that they flipped through, I think there were 12 of them to choose from, where exactly will you see those animations, and why would you pick one, isn't the current weather supposed to coincide with the proper animation? They did look very nice though!
5. Why is everyone asking the same questions? Was there a script with the person doing the demonstration? We know the specs, why ask again? Instead, show more of the UI, show more that has changed. I guess the software wasn't ready enough to show some other apps, maybe some games, maybe some benchmarks? I hope someone will get some more exclusive hands on time so they can run some tests on this thing.
6. I'd love to know how much of the 4 GB of rom is actually available to us for apps, but noone asked.
7. I want to see more more moooooooooooooar!
