Soooo... It looks like the Evo was starting to pull ahead and all of the sudden engadget deletes the article, poll and comments. Sadly, it was a little more balanced than the previous article that was an Apple sausagefest.
Then again, it probably didn't help Steve Jobs any that the android engadget app has a widget.
Here is the now dead link. I actually do wonder why they would delete it.

They are apple biased.

Oh, come on. Engadget has been talking about how great the Evo is forever, they gave it an awesome review, and they're pretty reasonable overall.
I bet it just became too much of a hate-fest between fanboys on both sides.

Wow I'm surprised they actually did that. Surely they have some "reason" for it.
In the past they just disabled the comments, not delete the entire article. Anybody else remember when comments were disabled on engadget?

You are probably correct. The exchanges between fanboy camps can get pretty heated.
they are biased to whoever gives them more ad money. They pay the bills, guess who the boss is? Who spends more advertising revenue, apple or evo? Thats who gets more positive spin.
thats really nasty even to think about it haha cant they really deal with android?
I can't believe anyone still goes to that site.. it should be renamed to igadget.com

This is what I wrote in the comments and look at the response I get (Joshua T. actually responded, but I don't quite understand what he said and how it relates to my comment):
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/...he-evo-4g-vs-iphone-4-post/comments/28543355/
Joshua is trying to say that they aren't worried which phone wins in the poll since that's our opinion not theirs. Basically I agree with them everyone is getting a bit paranoid. They gave the Evo a great review, and face it the iPhone is a good smartphone. Their reason for taking down the review was good of course if they had put up their explanation right away then people would had less conspiracies to make up.

They were paid to take it down isnt it obvious. Why would they take our down? They've done numerous comparisons on products that have yet to be released how its this an exception?

To me it was a pretty silly reason... it was a poll not a comparison. People were free to makeup their own minds. I think once something is put in print it should stay that way.

Well like I said if they had put up their reason right away and just transferred the poll then it would have been fine, but the article itself was a comparison, which is silly to try to do an in depth comparison of a device you saw in a controlled environment for an hour to a device you were allowed to use for weeks.
You guys have got to be kidding me...a "cover up the EVO love" conspiracy? Come on! The EVO wasn't even winning the poll before they took it down. They even posted an awesome review of the EVO.
It's embarrassing reading some of the Android fan's comments about this around the internet.

I wonder why that happened.
Maybe it's because people have been getting steadily more and more tech savvy over the last couple of years, since the introduction of mainstream smartphones with all carriers.
And, of course, more tech savvy people know that iphone is just a toy.
Clarification: It was #1 in sales for the quarter. Not sure what it's market share is overall, but it's moving fast.
Apple's brainwashing is wearing off and people are realizing the iPhone isn't the best thing since condoms.

Wait, but condoms aren't gre.... errr I see what you did there.
As a self proclaimed techno-geek I can tell you that what grabbed my attention was the "what droid gets" commercials. Those started me on a search for a droid device and I grabbed the EVO on launch day. My contract with Verizon had just expired and even though it was their commercial, I went with Sprint.
Got the wife a Samsung Moment and she is on that thing more than I'm on my EVO
how many android devices can you name that were out this time last year though, these numbers don't mean anything. the hero, moment, droid, eris, incredible, evo, even the backflip are counted as opposed to counting JUST the magic and G1.. really meaningless. if it happens again Q4 this year or later then it will mean everything though.
google ftw

wow, what's wrong with you?
Since apple lil screw up. And people coming to reality Its newsletters everyday stating how Android is moving up, stating that its more then 200,000 android phones gettting activated a day.
But i think its just people are finally moving up to the tech ages and not basic feature phones.
Its right now going against the EVO...obviously Galaxy S is winning but EVO is catching up so might as well insure victory >.>

Polldaddy.. really? That poll site can easily exploited and rig votes. I won't say how though. Even though "MacGuy2006" is a mac guy, he speaks the truth in regards to the poll being meaningless.
Seems meaningless to me. Palm pre beat Nexus One which beat the iPhone 3GS. Xperia X10 beat the Desire. Wtf?

Count me in for a SGS vote. I love my phone. Since I got this thing, doing the typical showing it off when I get a chance and have converted 6 iPhone users to android.
Got my vote in for that beautiful Galaxy S.
Overall the voting is just meaningless. If anything, it should be a legitmate voting process with email confirmation with IP based on mobile operating systems. All these phones are Android, who cares if they beat another Android phone? The real competitor is iOS.

I've converted 3 people over to Galaxy S, one from Sprint's Palm Pre the other from Verizon's BlackBerry Storm. The other was already on T-Mobile so not much convincing there.

Point proven Guess I'll just say it... the exploit is that Polldaddy saves the data that you voted already in a cookie. So if you cleared your cookies then you can simply revote.
That's why I find this vote to be a joke if its primary voting system is Polldaddy.
Well at least android/vibrant users can look more dedicated.

Sprint's Kyocera Echo dual-screen Android phone announced, we go hands-on (update)
By Nilay Patel posted Feb 7th 2011 6:30PM
Hands-On
Sprint promised us an "industry first" at its event today, and it certainly delivered: check out the Kyocera Echo, the first dual-screen Android phone. That's right, dual-screen -- that's two 3.5-inch 480 x 800 displays which can be unfolded and used as a single 4.7-inch 960 x 800 surface. The screens are connected by a slick sliding liquid-metal hinge that Kyocera's filed several patents on -- the phone can be closed and used like a regular single-screen phone, unfolded all the way, or propped up into the faux-laptop configuration shown above. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging. The seven optimized apps can be run on each screen individually so you can have the browser up top and email below, and several of them include useful full-dual-screen views as well. There's also a new dual-screen app manager, which is brought up by tapping the two screens simultaneously. Unfortunately, third party apps can't be run in any of the new modes and just fill the entire display for now -- Kyocera and Sprint say an SDK is coming shortly.

bah, 3.5 inch fail
Sounds pretty cool. Can't wait to see it.
Yea I hope not
from my phone duh
Even tho it doesn't really sound too appealing to me... I am really glad it isn't some form of a tablet. I feel like smartphones are taking a backseat to tablets and I can;t figure out why in the world they are so popular.
I thought Kyocera only made cheap prepaid phones?
Meh. If that's the big announcement I'm underwhelmed.

How about crapping on this product after we see it and learn about it's specs?

bwaghahahahhh, that was funny. This guy is pretty good. I'd have to agree with the presentation being very bland and lacking passion. And please, no more JK Shin on the stage, at least to give a long talk like he did. Like the video said, im sure he did a lot of work but It totally takes away from the experience.
You just made me watch some other episodes. I found this one hilarious as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPVBgrYCxyg

lol ****, I love that kid, that was funny as hell! Thanks for posting.
I totally agree, Samsung could have done a better job at introducing the phone. Nice and funny review!

It is kind of sad because for some it will probably take focus away from how awesome this phone actually is. And it's also kind of mind blowing that they don't spend the resources needed to make the presentation perfect. There must be some management issues.
Yes it could be better... a lot more.
