**do not get the evo**

DO NOT GET THE EVO (if you already have a Nexus One)
I just got the EVO and it just does not compare to the Nexus one.
I rarely every open up new threads, but I just don't want to see anyone jump ship based off the "specs".
I have several smart phones. I've tried to dethrone my nexus one with: HD2, EVO 4G, iPhone 3GS (I'm about to run out of money lol). And none of which give you the experience the Nexus One does.
Biggest Issues:
The LCD screen makes the colors look washed out (blacks seem like grays, and reds seem pinker) compared to the N1 with it's AMOLED
Sense slows the device down noticeably (and you can't turn sense off don't believe the hype)
The N1 makes the EVO seem clunky: The EVO gets slightly thicker/fatter as it get near the camera
Pixel Density! The EVO and the N1 has the same amount of pixels but because the N1 screen is smaller things end up being more crisp! especially noticeable with live Wall papers!
You can't use default Android messaging, nor can you use default Android Contacts. HTC contact (IMHO) is really ugly, opinions aside its freaking slow!
Track Ball! Man! I did not know how useful that thing was until now! lol. It (to me) is the most efficient solution for selecting text, without fumbling around with directional pads on the virtual keyboard, especially annoying if you have something like Swype (swype is awesome btw, there's now way I'm doing away with that).
I'm sorry guys I don't mean to rant and I DON'T regret my purchase. I'm going to try and load froyo on there and see if that fixes most the issues, but HTC SHOULD have given us a way to shut off Sense!
I'll admit I have to do some more testing, but the N1 has the lead right now. I'll try really hard to get some videos and pictures up.
I have not doubt this great community that I've been a part of for years will address most of these issues but's it's going to be a bumpy ride
If anyone has these two devices, let me know how you feel.
Thanks for reading this.

Turn sense off by going to settings. Applications. Find htc sense and force close it... I saw it on a video or something. Yes sense can be shut off.
It don't have anything I want I love my n1. The Evo don't beat it imo.

your'e wrong

Actually sir, you CAN'T.

With froyo (no sense) it will be closer to the N1, only things I like about the evo is the screen size (not so much anymore) and the camera.

Its a good choice for someone who likes Sprint and I am glad that they finally got a highend superphone. It was long overdue for the poor people that Love Sprint service (its great in my area) but have had to suffer for crappy phones all these years.
That being said I can see ditching my Nexi and my Even More Plus plan to sign a contract for basically the same phone. Nexi takes the cake with its super fast updates.

I was under the same impression, but you can only turn off the "Sense Home" watch that video closely, look at the bar up-top (htc themed), not to mention I followed the instructions to the T and I tried to develop my own strategy. No luck

I actually give the edge to the nexus one reason is: Number 1 and Number 4 in my post:
The LCD screen makes the colors look washed out (blacks seem like grays, and reds seem pinker) compared to the N1 with it's AMOLED
Pixel Density! The EVO and the N1 has the same amount of pixels but because the N1 screen is smaller things end up being more crisp! especially noticeable with live Wall papers!

I just hope someday that there will be a "mini usb to HDMI out" cord. I believe I said that right. I'd love to have the N1 appear on the tv screen. Anyway, I order my N1 this monday, I can't wait.

I had the desire before swapping + cash for a nexus one. Same thing there. each time u stopped the htc sense and cleared the defaults, the minute u press home, htc sense reloaded itself. The reason for not being able to stop sense is that htc actually removed the android launcher. all u have to do is install a launcher , go and stop the htc sense in settings-app-..... and then press home and select the launcher u installed.
or u can just install a launcher, and then install home switcher from market.

Just got me Evo, and I have Nexus one still. Well, I agree with OP when it comes to washed out colors, etc. BUT, that complaint can only be made if you have Nexus, this phone still blows everything else out of the water, aside from Nexus. I really liked HD2, minus the WinMo, so EVO really caught my eye lol.
I am still on T-Mobile, got Evo because I can still return and get out of contract with Sprint within 30 days... T-Mobile + Nexus = **** in my area... I get great 3G speeds (1.5mb down/400up) which is higher than what Sprint gets me, but it's so inconsistent. Constant 3g timeouts, takes ages to load pages because of it. Constant need to reboot due to texts not going out (tried all radios). Calls not coming through, list goes on. Having a great phone with all these issues is a killer to me, specially when I'd like to have data with me since I listen to Pandora in my car.
Anyways, this rant is mostly about Tmobile and Nexus combo, so for me the switch was justifiable, but phone to phone, I would still give the crown to Nexus.

I looked at the Evo in Best Buy today, the colors on screen are definitely lacking, as well as the pixel issue. Everything seemed stretched to it's limit.
I'm sticking with my N1, I love it to much.

I just went to the sprint store and played with the evo and was much more impressed then I thought I would be with its build quality. It felt very solid and I love the smooth back of the device. But I now 100% hate sense UI without a doubt. The phone was slower and laggy and this phone is brand new so its not bogged down yet.

damn, maybe i can convince my family to stick to current provider (ATT); we are planning on switching to Sprint because we can get 2x minutes, everyone (4 lines) gets data for about the same amount we are paying at ATT (iphone data only)
coverage isn't a issue since i'm in the dc/metro area
EDIT: never was a fan of Sense UI; had installed Paul's sense rom on my N1 and had to chance to normal android launcher; to me, sense has too much going on and i don't need all of that stuff

An observation (I'm sure we can all appreciate this one)

This is nonsensical but I found it amusing...
"...the difference between Android people and iPhone people.... Android people rip the phone from the box...the box isn't an event...the phone is...."
This was an IM my GF just sent. She had watched an unboxing video of the iPhone last night, and then saw the "hands on" video (that had an unboxing) of the Droid X over on Android Community. I had sent her the link because she is going to tell her Aunt about it, she has her own business and is looking for a new phone. Me and the GF both have N1, I have started to convert her into a bit of a fangirl. She is a graphic design student at AI, so Mac (and by extension the iPhone) is everywhere. She likes to show off the N1 and all the things it can do to the iPhone people. I hope the N2 (if it ever gets made) blows the other guys (like the droid x) out of the water. I love having the devices that are "google's baby" getting features and updates first is always good.
Edit:
HAHA she also just made a comment... its the difference between prissy people, teens and yuppie types vs true 80s kids... Ah the 80s... when the art of the electronic/digital and putting buttons on everything first hit its stride.
The videos:

vs This (scroll down first video)
http://androidcommunity.com/droid-x-hands-on-first-impressions-video-20100623/

This makes me insanely happy. And I agree. Who gives a darn about the box? Show me some RAM and a snapdragon, and I'm ecstatic. I <3 my nexus. Idk where my box even is...

I think that's the great part about Android... if you want to be prissy about it and just use it the way it was purchased and never deviate from the way it was meant to be used when you got it (read: like the iphone) then that's fine, you can. BUT, you also have the option of doing what you want with it. Backgrounds, sounds, different interfaces... etc etc etc etc etc etc. It just goes on and on. If you WANT to do more, you can, but you don't have to. That's the beauty of Android.

All this aside, I do have to mention that the N1 box is quite sexy IMO.

Video Review: Nexus One Vs iPhone 4

The video is not mine
Personally I'm ok with the results although i dissagree with his opinion on the looks of the Nexus One vs the blocky iPhone 4.

It's basically 15 minutes of talking with about 50 seconds of demo. Interesting that he has a rooted Nexus One but hasn't used it enough to be able to reliably hit the soft keys.

He should have turned off the live wallpaper, froyo is so much quicker than the iphone lol it seems he made the home screen look as ugly as possible, who actually uses that clock..
All my mac loving friends complained when the nexus one came out that it only beats the iphone 3gs in speed because it was made later, now they are speechless

i like how he says the phone has big capasitivie button issues, mine are perfect? i hit them correctly and work every single time without fault?
and please, laggy pinch to zoom? How about turning off plugin's always on and switch to on demand so both web pages he compared didnt have flash, Pinch to zoom is smooth, not so much when u have 5 flash objects playing

Exactly how does navigation end in a draw? Does iPhone have turn by turn navigation?
I suppose he meant UI navigation, but nice that he skipped a key feature of Nexus One during the comparison process.
This weekend I had dinner with someone who had the iphone 4. She tried to show me the face talk feature. Of course, it didn't work because there was no wi fi. I offered to let her tether off my lowly N1 to demo it.
She was not amused.

In this video, we compare a 7 month old phone to one just released.
I didn't watch the video. I don't care. All i know is my phone doesn't lose reception when i hold it and i have a real homescreen.

When the Nexus one was released im pretty sure they compared it to the Iphone 3gs which at the time was about 7 months old.

The multitouch buttons on my Nexus One (and I'm pretty sure all of them judging by what I've read) are finicky. There seems to be an exact spot you need to hit but it's much higher than you would think. It also causes the problem of accidentally triggering a button when you're doing something like typing on the keyboard. Really poor design choice in my opinion. You may hit yours correctly every single time, but there are tons of people who don't and using physical buttons would have made it register the press 100% correctly every single time.
I did leave a post on youtube mentioning that the sluggish zooming is due to having flash plugins on the page. I do think that would be worth mentioning in a comparison like this, but the other side of the argument is you need to make a product just work. If there are cases where the phone performs crappy then most users aren't going to care why it's happening.
I am impressed that even with flush plugins enabled the nexus one still loaded pages slightly faster than the iPhone4. Would be interesting to see the same thing without flash enabled on the Nexus One.

Jon4lakers is an idiot.

You just have to realize the audience (didn't watch the video) - when iphone users compare and contrast they don't, and won't be messing around with settings and features and tweaks and whatnot. This is not how iphone users operate, so they are going to compare how the phone works and feels out of the box. What's a boon to us may be a difficulty for them. Don't get me wrong here, as I'm not equating them to idiots who don't know a good thing and can't even operate a settings menu - I think many of them just want a simplified experience in ernest. Some of them take the defense of it a little too far (for example, if it lacks it, it doesn't need it mentality).
The capacitive buttons on the N1 suck and that's just the truth, just as there are issues with damn near every apple hardware in batches or runs that they will just deny and quietly admit to when the cycle is long over.

He didnt even mentioned the notification system, witch android kicks the **** out of the IOS. Aside the front facing camera, I think there's not 1 single real point that the iPhone 4 really beats the N1, and ya we are talking of a brand new phone againts a 7 months older phone hehe.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

after playing with my friend's iphone over the weekend, i can say that the screen resolution and the cameras are a lot better than the nexus one. notifications wise, all android phones will rape the iphone in that aspect.
in terms of using the phone, i found that the iphone 4 is just that much smoother when browsing through menus and screen and using apps.
but i have to say i'm still on 2.1 since there are no OTA updates for the epe54b users.
i just might get the iphone but that would of course depends on how well 2.2 works out for me.

This was exactly also how i thought. turn the flash off and see the zoom then you will see differents. this was the reason why i removed the flash, atleast till it works a little better.

Very true. Give the iphone 4 a few more months and it will be behind every other phone the only thing it leads in now is the screen resolution.

I think since he was an 'iphone user' he was biased in a few rounds. Maybe I'm biased, but I think the Nexus was the clear winner.
I realize that to some, the front facing camera is a feature. To me it is a waste and if any phone I own had one, it would be covered with tape. I don't ever want a front facing camera.
To me, a front camera is actually a negative.

It seemed like a pretty fair review coming from an iPhone user. You guys should be thankful to Apple. I would never own an Apple product(prefer linux), but would we even have Windows Phone 7 coming if the whole iEra didn't exist? Or would we still be stuck on 5.0 and beta Androids?

Don't you find it ironic...

...that iPhone is being mocked in this forum and yet in the very same forum there's an iPhone theme being praised and downloaded by many people?

No not really ...
Nobody here will deny the Iphone is kind of sexy ....
But it is like dating a cardboard cutout of a supermodel, looks great, but not much you can actually do with it ....

i dont really find it ironic, its not like were wanting to run iOS on our phones or anything, we just like the icons. the supermodel comparison is spot on- the iphone is all looks & no brains. its a gorgeous piece of hardware, id probably buy one if i could run winmo or even android on it.

I haven't heard of very many people running that theme really.

The iPhone looks good to some people...thats all.

the device itself is sexy. turn it on to see the interface-> I then get turned off.

I dont understand why you would want to use something like iphone today but each to their own......

Windows Mobile phones are all about changing the interface whenever you want. The iPhone shell is just another shell, people won't be using it for long.

Even more ironic is that while everyone is downloading iPhone themes, there are plenty of iPhone users hacking their phones just to use other themes!
I've never seen a WM theme, but I have seen a blackberry theme, and a nexus one theme for the iphone.
I suppose the grass is always greener on the other side.

ROFLMAO! Brilliant analogy!

Downloading and modifying it to look like an iPhone? Well I guess people do it 'caus they can, when they get tired of that FisherPrice look, they change it to something else.
Why should this be ironic? Having a WM is not about hating iPhones, it's about loving everything about phones and not only that shiny mirror-like reflection from it.

I wouldn't do with theme things like others. The iphone no doubt has a very very powerful os, it personally find it the best of all on earth, and it is so much better. And the theme is just making the HD2 look nicer, but not the performance we can have in Iphone which is the more important aspect how an iphone is. I really really want an iphone, but I choosed HD2 because I've been used to many useful apps with WM, and I've been really pissed off by the iphone built in battery. No doubt HD2 has very poor battery performance, but I can switch batteries all day long!
My point is, i would not put iphone theme to my HD2, because the slick looking theme is not at all the most important aspect of iphone, HD2 will never ever feel like an iphone even with 99% similar theme.

Wow!..........Well put!!

i have been selling phones for 9 years now for a uk major network i have seen phones go from 3310 to the super ericsson r390(ok not that good but changed phones forever) all the way to the phone4 and this is my take on things, iphone is one of the phones you love or hate, i have had one since day one but also used my touch pro more due to the fact that i can change things on it, eg themes and the like.
dont get me wrong apple did a super job with the iphone but they restrict everything unless u jailbreak it. then that causes issues with signal batt life, and frezzing. if only apple said its open for the owners to play with then it would get more of a like factor, instead people have them and get board with them, i was sick of the apple way (ether u like it how it is or buy something else) so i did and swopped it for a hd2, there has always been a apple v windows thing going and always will, but look at what it has done for the phone market.... android,web os,linux in genral on a phone would we have seen this sort of thing when the xda exec was out, no we wouldnt it was the iphone that opened peoples eyes to other things.
so in a way apple as made the other companys stand up and beat the iphone in the niche markets where apple cant go.

iPhone OS does not support multitasking unless you upgrade it to the latest OS4 which is still buggy. iPhone 3gs has no performance. The only reason for buying an iPhone is its abundant games availability.

Funny story about a none android user

Ok the other day my cousin and i was debating on which of our phones was better. He has a blackberry and of course i have my epic. He was going on and on about how much better the web was so i was like show me. He went to facebook i was like are you f...ing kidding me the mobile site. So i said go to www.newgrounds.com so went to the site and of course his blackberry choked he looked at my phone and said i was cheating and have hacked software in my phone i was like no buddy it's called adobe flash. Now go to the store and pick up android. Do anyone else got any funny stories about none android users thinking their windows mobile webos or even dare i say it iphone is better than what android is laying out right now. Oh yeah his blackberry can't even do youtube lol

Its true you are cheating because officially no samsung galaxy s phones have adobe flash only flash lite which wouldnt run most of the content on newgrounds. CHEATER!

I have friends that think there iphone 4 is better, then i show them my awesome screen and all the awesome capabilities i do with it, and the are envious, and envious with my fast data service even on 3g my data speeds blow at&t out of the water. I also have people telling me that are obsessed with verizon and the damn droid models (ie: Droid x,Droid,DRoid 2) They dont understand that the epic is a droid, lol and blows there damn droids out of the water with all aspects.

A customer came in the other day. He is a friend of my boss'.. My boss asked him "is that an iPhone".. customer "yeah".. I was like "really ??.. check this out"
Grabbed my car keys and asked if I could see his phone for a second.. he was very hesitant... I offered him up my Epic to inspect real carefully... made sure he saw that there was NO screen protector on it.. then i proceeded to try and scratch the hell outta my SAMOLED.... then showed it to him and it was still perfect.. he was amazed..
Then he told me that he dropped it off his car seat one day while getting out of his car and the screen broke. So I (inside hesitation didnt take over, but was VERY present) held my phone w/ the screen face down about 3ft. from the concrete and dropped it. No scratches, no cracks, perfect condition (thank goodness)... he was VERY impressed.. I told him to go get something w/ Gorilla glass... and he was oogling over how bright and crisp the display was on the Epic too.. heh..
I love turning off the 'fan' in the 'fanbois' LMFAO

The Compusa sales manager where i live is an BlackBerry fanatic.
Ranting it can do this and that i said look i had a BB.
great phone when it works freezing,long boot times etc. slow etc. yada yada.
He played with my epic and was stunned at the speed of the phone
The samoled blew him away also. I played a blu-ray ripped movie and he was in love lol.
needless to say the very next day he called me to ask where i got the info on rooting the phone.
he is now an epic user and an xda member lol.
running 2.2 fro-yo leak and more functionality than the BB ever had lol.

Seriously, what benefit is a live wallpaper, seriously?? Sperm dancing all over your screen? Snowflakes bouncing here and there? Battery wasting...

Go download the Doom Live Wallpaper and tell me it isn't worth it.

My brother has the iPhone 4.He came over the other day and pulled it out,"hey look at this resolution" ,he pulls up some high def images,I said send them to me.So now we are side by side,he fell in love...That higher resolution on a smaller screen with washed out colors and no true black make the screen look like ****... He wants a galaxy S now.

i like the animations on iOS.

I love the super AMOLED and 4" is a perfect screen size. You don't have to squint to enjoy its resolution.
You can't even replace the battery of an iPhone. Steve Jobs says it's good for 10 hours. What if Steve Jobs gets wheeled into his surgery when he got his liver replaced and the surgeon goes "Replace your Liver? No! It's good for 10 hours!"

Exactly, live wallpaper is not some magical feature that brings out the best in a phone.

I'll repeat myself; go download the Doom Live Wallpaper and come back.
