I was really surprised
watch this youtube video

YouTube - CNET Prizefight: iPhone 4 vs. HTC Evo 4G

 

[imex99]

Nice.... Love my EVO and sold my ipod touch and can't stand using my father in laws iphone because of the small screen after using the EVO for almost three months now.

All bias aside, it did seem to be a fair comparison.

It was fair.... Like a true close prize fight you could go either way.... Depending on exactly what your looking for one or the other could win a close fight.

One of the biggest differences is that with iPhone you cant download mp3's from the internet, with the EVO you simply go to any mp3 site and select any mp3 you want and download it. My friend has the iPhone4 and he cant do this, we tried with his and he said he has go threw the iTunes, but with a EVO I went to my mp3 site and selected 3 mp3's and download it without out a problem, also I have 4G in Brooklyn NY and get speeds 10-11 Mbs down and it took me about 30 seconds to get all 3 mp3's. Simply amazing. I also converted 2 of my co-workers to get Android's, one is getting the Galaxy S from T-Mobile and the other has iphone and he swapping it out for the EVO. People who has iPhone they are simple peeps and Android users are POWER USERS!!!!! That the biggest difference.

Comes to show you that iphone is no longer king. not the first review that it was defeated, techno buffalo also chose the evo over iphone as well as some others.

A few of my buddies are trading their iphone 4 for evos because they realized the true power behind this monster and how they were do limited with apple

I think that if you can get past the size of the Evo (which confers all sorts of advantages), there's really no contest. Apple's biggest advantage is that they've enslaved so many unfortunate users with iTunes that it's probably the biggest stumbling block from switching from the iPhone.

I wish the Evo's sound quality was as good as the iXXXX's, that's the only downer for me.

Except that Google really needs to come up with their own syncing method that WORKS. iTunes blows anything we have out of the water.

I think that the iPhone is very close to the EVO. It still has the best media player and itunes can't be matched. Game play on the iPhone is the best I have ever seen on a smartphone. But, when it comes to features, screen size, power, customization, and integration with social media, the EVO cannot be touched.

^That.

I'm just glad they emphasized the importance of the simple things, eg: making and receiving phone calls

I thought this video was going to be a Part 2 to the Prizefight that was posted over a month ago, but it's the same video.

Still great to see it again. Like everyone said, the iPhone has finally met its match and it's only going to get better for the Android world.

From the date of the video, it looks like it was done before Froyo. Wonder what the score would have been had that been part of the "prizefight."

Looks like there's a new official top-dog amongst smart phones. EVO for the win!!

 

[PedroTheGoat]

I hate to admit it, but they're both great phones. I'll admit, I'm biased against AT&T and Apple... But I'm not going to sit here and tell you that the iPhone is horrible... It's the prettiest phone on the market, and iOS is stable and smooth as butter. If Apple didn't strike me as so closed and I could have an iPhone on Sprint then I would probably be prowling the Apple forums right now.

I was also surprise by the review. I did not expect the iPhone to do that well. ;-)

You know how windows runs on MAC. it be cool if an iPhone could run Android

It's been done. But since it's not optimized for the Apple hardware, it runs like *** compared to iOS4.

iTunes is cool (though is sucks running on a PC). I'd like to see Amazon fill the iTunes void and add video downloads. Amazon could capitalize on all the "non-iPhone" smart phones and create syncing capabilities for Android, Phone7, Palm, and BB. There is a lot of opportunity in this space of the market if someone can create a system that isn't closed to one phone, one maker, and for the time being one cell provider. Heck, they may be able to create a program that syncs your phone and computer via the web. THAT would be cool.
