HTC EVO 4G – The Apple iPhone Is So 2009, Says Evo
HTC EVO 4G Android Phone Save: $300.00 (60%) At: www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO4G
The Evo is THE alternative for those not wanting to put up with the iPhone restrictions or AT&T’s well publicized shortcomings.
As a proud new owner since Friday I can honestly say the Evo lives up to the hype – and then some.
A warning though: the Evo is much larger than the iPhone and pretty much any other phone out there. For tall/large folks with large hands this is actually wonderful, but for those who like the tiniest, sleekest toys to go along with their midget hands, this thing isn’t it.
Regardless if you live in a Sprint 4G area, you’ll pay an extra $10 fee. If you haven’t already, you also need to upgrade to one of Sprint’s more expensive plans.
Keep in mind that, as with all Androids, you can turn off and/or customize almost any feature you don’t like. The Evo is not quite as intuitive to learn as the iPhone but it’s also
a lot more capable and powerful. The growing Android app marketplace really helps with this.
PROS
Gorgeous, gigantic, super bright, crystal clear screen. Best. Screen. Ever.
Truly fast at everything – apps launch instantly, everything is just “zippy”,
Powerful enough to run a bunch of stuff simultaneously without slowing down at all
Very modern and “hip” interface.
Fantastic integration with all things Google (Maps, Gmail, Google Voice, etc.), Social Networks (Friend Stream is amazing), and GPS Call quality is excellent WiFi works very well
Touch screen is VERY sensitive and fast. Could be Pro or a Con.
Videos are unbelievably large and crisp on this thing – no other phone comes close yet
Has lots of options and customization features 8 Megapixel camera AND HD video camcorder (!) surprisingly good quality for a phone Does eBooks very well (need free eBook reader) Android app market is huge and growing fast. Downloads and installs are super simple and fast.
Everything about this thing is just fast.
Casing/back doesn’t show fingerprints or lint much at all (screen is another story, see below)
Did I mention it’s FAST?
CONS
Battery Life. This makes sense as the gigantic screen by itself likes to eat up juice when in use. WiFi, Bluetooth and certain auto-updating apps also drain the battery.
Suggestion: turn WiFi OFF when you leave your house. Keep the default timeout setting to 1 minute or so to make sure the screen turns off after a short time of not using the device. Turn Bluetooth off if you’re not using it. Reduce screen brightness, it’s set to Auto by default when you get the Evo.
Default email client not super intuitive, plus polling intervals can not be set to anything shorter than 5 minutes. Email client can easily be replaced with other apps if you wish though.
Touch screen is VERY sensitive and fast. Some folks might need to get used to how fast/sensitive it is. Could be a Pro or a Con.
Soft keyboard has some minor quirks, mostly in terms of intuitiveness. Hard to describe here.
For people with larger hands like me, the Evo is perfect. For someone with very small hands, this device could be a nightmare to use. Seriously – it’s LARGE.
Like all touch devices, the touch screen is a fingerprint magnet
SUMMARY
If you are on Sprint (or considering switching) and want the fastest and arguably best device out there at this time, the Evo is it.
