there's no competition here. EVO owners are our brothers and sisters. We are all on the same team, fighting the fruit.

That reminded me of Veggie-Tales
Nice screen size....... that's all I can say though everything else is standard. My nexus on Froyo is a lot smoother and quicker than that.

This is true.
used evo today, it was definitely laggy compared to my nexus. but the evo was solid as hell and i liked the form factor a whole lot. its almost like the perfect tablet/phone size. love the smooth slate back too.

lol agreed. lets stop the robot on robot hating and focus on the real enemy ;D
Evo was nice but compared to holding a N1 its not close. Same for the Incredible(honestly i didnt like it at all,too plasticy). Nothing has the feel in hand the nexus does from my experience. At the same time if ya handed me either phone and said "Here it yours". I d take it in a second. All three phones ive stated run nice. Would be very happy either way. But i do like my nexus above all.
this isnt the nexus ****ting on the evo..this is android 2.2 ****ting on android 2.1

Agree that EVO users are our brothers and sisters.

+1 to this one
Both devices have their advantages and disadvantages, but infighting like this just makes us look bad. Grow up guys
I'd like to see a 2.1 Nexus vs a 2.1 EVO and then a 2.2 Nexus vs a 2.2 EVO (we will have to wait though).

Agreed.
The more people using Androids (and less FRUITS), the better. ANY win for Android is a win for ALL of us.
That being said, I did get a chance to check out the EVO yesterday at a Sprint store. After the short line wait (lol), I got my hands on it and compared. Here's what I found:
Pros:
Despite the size, my N1 feels heavier. What the heck? I am using a full-body skin, but it can't make THAT much of a difference.
The Evo isn't THAT much larger when one is placed over the other. In fact, it made me realize just how much bezel is at the bottom of the N1 (where the trackball is). On the Evo, that space is much reduced. There should be few problems fitting the Evo into pockets etc, as the size is not too much larger.
The screen size is definitely just amazing. Browsing webpages is much more enjoyable.
3G Speed: Loading up webpages was always faster on the Evo than my N1. I quickly downloaded Ookla Speedtest on both phones and got an average of 2000/650 on the Evo and 400/1350 on the N1 (both on 3G, don't think there's 4G here). Of course, they could have had a 3G repeater in the Sprint store. And it's funny how T-Mobile's uploads were exactly twice as high, and I got 1350 every single time. I think they're both upload-capped.
The soft buttons under the screen are much easier to hit. From the second I picked up the phone, I hit them 100% of the time without any problems. I'm not sure what the heck HTC did with the N1, and why the labels don't match the touch points.
Cons:
I can definitely tell the color difference between the two. I loaded up Engadget and looked at one of the pictures on the front page on both phones. It was night and day. The N1 was colorful and vibrant and the Evo seemed washed out. Any N1 user will instantly tell how much of a difference the AMOLED screen makes.
The N1 certainly takes the cake in terms of style. The Evo looks plain, almost ugly. The N1 feels more solid as well. But that may be due to the weight as I said previously.
Flash/FroYo. Of course, we have it, they don't. The person next to me testing the other Evo was asking the employee if it had Flash. I didn't get the chance to butt into their conversation but I was this close to showing off my N1... I know the Evo has root already, but development will always be better on the N1 since it's Google's baby.
The Evo definitely felt laggy and scrolling homescreens was not smooth. (Chalk it up to FroYo of course.)
Anyway, I don't see how that video is the N1 "****ting" on the Evo? The comparison was like 1/10th of the video, and the speed was only marginally faster.
Anyone else try out the Evo yesterday / today?
In any case, the bottom line here is that there is no competition between our phones. This is only bad for Apple, who is probably shaking in their boots
Yeah I went to the sprint store yesterday to play with it and I had my at&t nexus one in hand to compare. The build quality on my n1 definitely was better than the evo which had way too much plastic. I mean it was still okay but just a lot of plastic. Also there is something to be said with having an 800x 400 with amoled resolution as compared to just a bigger screen with the same resolution. While I could see more of the webpage when browsing on the evo the pages still looked sharper on my n1. With that beING said I would buy the evoif I was a sprint customer but seeing how long it took Sprint to go from the pre to the evo I just can't foresee them getting another flagship phone for awhile... while at&t is slowly but surely about to release a lot of new android phones from dell, HTC, and Samsung

Didn't have the patience to watch the whole video so I fast forwarded to the end. I am amazed at how much brighter and clearer the nexus 1 screen is compared to the evo. That video would make me want to buy the N1 more.
True... Check this video out... screen comparison.

I tested one also. Me full bars 3g, it full bars 4g and it was a tie to every web site. I get good hsdpa here in Portland though.... I prefer my n1 especially after that...
I'm thinking about getting this phone, I hope it gets rooted quickly and Cyanogen decides to add support for it. I just wish this phone had a 4.3" screen, only thing that would keep me from loving it.
4.3 is huge man. You might as well take a TomTom and stick it in your pocket
Once you get used to that screen size it sucks to go smaller than that.
Nah, 3.7 to 4.3 are very similar.

I agree. The 4.3" is just in its own category. It's like carrying a brick in your pocket. I loved my vibrant because it has the 4.0" screen which in my opinion is the perfect size. Not to big and not so small you can't use it. After switching to the mt4g I'm finding the additional weight to be substantial over the vibrant even though the screen is only 3.8". I doubt the WiFi calling and ffc add that much weight.

Until there is better app scaling for Android applications, more screen real estate doesn't necessarily mean more content. Although, I would recommend it for older people with poor vision

I know what you're saying when I went from my HD2 to the G2 it was night and day. It's harder to type on a smaller screen after typing on a huge one for so long. I'm 6' 1" and have pretty big hands so the hd2 is a good size for me. I held a Streak at Best Buy today, and my god that is a ridiculous sized phone. But I bet I could get used to it. To bad it has android 1.6 on it, that's gay.

I would disagree. I have had many phones in the last 2.5 years. HTC Titan, BB Storm, BB Tour, Droid 1, Droid X and now HTC HD2. I can easily tell the different in all the screens. The Droid X and HTC HD2 both have the same screen size but the HTC HD2 feels heavier.
As for the MT 4G, I am swapping my HD2 next week for it because I miss Android. Now one thing that will be similar is in actual Screen Resolution. Droid X is 480 X 854 while I believe the MT 4G is 600 X 800.
Be a commuter on a bus, subway or other mass transit and watch movies or tv shows and 3.8 to 4.3 is Huge.
It's all relative. We could all argue that 4.3 is the way to either go or not but it comes down to personal preference and how you use it. If you watch movies then 4.3 is probably the way to go. If you are talking on your phone and reading a ton of emails and need a bit better battery and ease of use smaller is probably better.

I am also swapping my HD2 for the MT4G. and missed android so I decided to Try and run android on the sdcard... everything works great and very stable... But I want a front facing cam.
4.3 to 3.8 is only a difference of .5 I'm not sure if it will really make a huge impact.
I have a Vibrant which has the 4.0 screen and a G2 which I am sending back which is 3.7. I have switched back and forth for the last week or so between the two of them and I must say that I do prefer the 4.0 but after a few moments on the G2 which is 3.7 I hardly notice the difference. I also find the G2 although heavier feels more comfortable to carry in my pocket. As others have stated it is just a matter of preference and there really is no right or wrong or good or bad, just what feels the best and meets the needs the best for that individual.
lol...i thought this post was about CM. This phone probably wont be rooted anytime soon like the G2.
ps I prefer 4-inch
I'm switching back to AT&T and selling the HD2, and it turns out they are having a promo right now to where the Aria is free. What are your thoughts on it? How is the modding community? Will I feel like I'm downgrading from the HD2?
I appreciate any thoughts on the phone.

You'll definitely be downgrading on screen size. But thats really about it. This little phone definitely holds its own in every other department. As far as modding goes, the ROM selection is limited but what few ROMs we have are very well developed. We've got some very experienced developers here that are always working on ways to improve the Aria experience so I dont think you'll be dissapointed at all as long as you can get over the screen size issue.
It is definitely a strong phone, but I wish I'd gotten the captivate simply for the size of the screen. If screen size is not an issue I would definitely recommend it. It's a scrappy little phone that's definitely worth the money.

I was using HD2 too, and upgraded to Aria and I am happy with it.
It's nice and little, no pocket hassel. It's screen res is 320x480, same as iPhone 3GS

The screen is literally the only good thing about the captivate. My wife got hers a couple weeks ago and she hates it more and more every day and shes finally just gonna upgrade to an aria after comparing my aria to her captivate. The display is amazing but the phone was very glitchy and laggy out of the box. We've tried a couple different roms and they just can't compare in quality and reliability to what we have with the aria. attn1 has made this phone the best choice from att at the moment. Samsung makes a great display, but they do not make a good phone. Htc makes solid reliable phones and they def did it right when they made this lil monster. Get an ipad for christmas and be glad you chose the aria as a phone over the captivate lol .

Glad I saw this, I just got an Aria and was about to get the HD2 but thought the screen size might be too big for carrying it in my pocket, this makes me think I made the right decision. Thanks!
I love this phone. I haves friend with the 1ghz processer and belive it or not it isn't any faster. It may be due to the Res and screen size but the aria is pretty damn fast with the 600mhz in it. Battery life isn't to bad either. Its small but not to small

On battery life, I dont know about everyone else, but I use my phone everyday I would say a decent amount. I charge at night and never get below 50 percent
Can you own an HTC Phone again after purchasing this beast, its got everything))
JD
I don't know either.
I love my NS, in just about every way shape and form but the feel of how solid my N1 was, cant beat it
an BTW any way you can kinda shorten up your sig, maybe make it longer width wise
Cant even compare with N1. if N1 had 4'' SAMOLED, I would even look at NS. Ton of thought was put into N1, and yet ZERO though in NS (just plain Galaxy-like phone).
I like it's design and build a lot better than any HTC phone, I'll give it that.
That being said, I'll be getting a Droid Incredible HD when it comes out on Verizon to replace my OG Droid. The Incredible HD is probably the only HTC phone with a design/build that isn't just 'Meh' (or 'Ew') to me.

Real-time results except games and you will never notice that CPU is faster unless your using benchmarks. 768mb RAM can be a plus, however my phone never bogs down on 512mb of RAM. Much better screen? That is pushing it. I have put my EVO side by side with the Inspire and barely noticed a difference. It was brighter, but not by a lot. Also being on AT&T makes it not even worth it.

Exactly this. And to be 100 percent honest...I took my Evo and her Inspire side by side with a fresh ADW launcher home screen on both with the brightness turned up all the way on both of our phones with the same exact wallpaper and mine looked better. Now granted it was not that much better, but I could hardly tell any differences at all. However it was agreed by both my girlfriend and me that my screen looked better. Not only that, but I even think that I like the touch screen responsiveness of my Evo better than the Inspire. And to add something else to the argument, you think that HTC would have learned that making the camera stick out the back of the phone is going to end up in thousands of scratched lenses but with the design of this phone they only made the problem worse by projecting the camera lens out further from the phone.
Now I wont discount the Inspire, there are things that I like better about it. To start with, one of my biggest peeves about my Evo since about a month after I bought it was that the thing "creaked" when I would push moderately on the back of it below the camera when I was holding the phone in the palm of my hand. This is something that I have no figured out how to fix and have accredited to the poor design of the phone. It bothers the hell out of me that the Evo does not feel like a solid device while holding it in my hand. I even have a Amzer gel case on it and it still does the same thing. With the Inspire, the battery slides into the side of the phone so the whole unit is one piece. I like this because it feels a lot slicker and like HTC made a improvement on the design of phone.
