They'll probably do it with the Droid X...

Yes go vote, just don't read/post in the comments. Discussing there is like yelling at a rock.

They have their comparison up again with the poll. Go vote for the Evo, it's currently leading by a small margin. You can win!

Oh noes, Apple has almost caught up! You guys need to vote!!
Here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/iphone-4-or-evo-4g-which-one-should-you-get/

I voted but I try not to visit that site if at all possible. I made the mistake of listening to one their podcasts and they couldn't remember the difference between MBps and Mbps.

Oh how I wish a Mod would come change the title of this thread...just something a bit more civil...(I voted).

I can't believe the Evo is beating the iPhone on there right. There are times when I'd swear Engadget was in Apple's back pocket.

Evo is winning!

this either proves:
1. larger % of evo users are geeks
2. other android users are helping us out

Such an obviously biased wrapup. Two of the most useful areas for me (widgets and flash) are diminished to an almost inconsequential aspect between the two phones. Could it be that they didn't discuss it (flash in particular) because Evo wins SO handily in that regard? Hmmm...

Evo vs Iphone poll... Deleted on Engadget?

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.

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

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.

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.

Evo haters out and about

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!
I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

Ditching the Epic for an EVO

I'm still within my 30 days, so I'm going to the Sprint store tomorrow to trade this Epic in for an EVO.
I have played with the EVO quite a bit (couple of co-workers have it) and my reasons for trading it are:
1. I hate the clunkyness associated with having the type of keyboard that the Epic has. It drives me insane! I am not a gamer, I don't need the keyboard. I <3 Swype.
2. The EVO feels solid. Partially because it doesn't have a keyboard like the Epic, but it seems to be better built, physically.
3. The quality of display difference really isn't that drastic. Hold the two side by site. I think the difference is often exaggerated.
t;dr: The Epic is like a shiny, pretty car with a great motor, but it physically feels like a cheap plastic body and it drives me nuts.
Ok, we care why? This belongs in the EVO forum where people well cherry you on. Otherwise, you just look like a spoilsport. So you love the EVO, go enjoy it and let us enjoy our phones.

It would be fine if it was based in any sort of reality. The display on the Epic is in another class entirely than the EVO display. To say they are similar is a lie.
Also, if you don't like the form factor of a hardware keyboard sliding phone, why the hell did you buy it in the first place?
Lastly, no one cares about any of this because they are excited about getting froyo on Monday.

I can't say that the difference isn't obvious, but it's not "better enough" with the Epic for me, personally, to enjoy a phone that feels as clunky as the Epic does because of the shoddy keyboard mechanism.
I'm not here to flame, I personally don't have an interest in which phone you prefer. But as others have said, if you prefer Swype why would you even get a phone with a hardware keyboard?
I agree the EVO has a more solid feel, but I attribute this to it being thinner, and not having the slider.
Disagree about the display, especially outside. Are you sure you had your brightness turned up?
Anyways, enjoy your EVO...

No more vibrant for me. I've moved to the HTC Sensation 4G. Love it by the way. I'll see read what's going on in here for my wife's vibrant but until she let's meet root it it's going to be informative only. Good luck my friends.

lol that's not nice.
you could've said, "We don't care."
at least you didn't say, "@#$% off!"
if everyone that changes phone comes here to announce it, will flood the forum.
What is changing phone has to do with dev forum, go to general and make a thread for all of you.Some of us are very very pleased with our vibrants and we do not come here to announce it, but only for once in my life will do.
Vibrant Rocks! Wont change phone at least for some years down the road when my "ice cream" melts
Goodbye, worthless peon looking for attention.
Good have fun with a slow dual core won't need to change once ics comes out its gonna breath new life into these phones an it's gonna be open source

make a thread in general please.
I dont want to flame in dev section in honor for our devs.. but general.
imma do the 4 letter word to you. and not even in bed dude.
Fail thread. Nobody here is going to ohhhh and awwww about the sensation. Locked bootloader, quad core will be out in not even 6-7 months, and the vibrant is still an epic device.
We will troll you when we get a quad and you are only 6 months into your 2 year contract.

Why you would post this in the Dev section is beyond me, but good luck with your new phone.. and no one here cares much for the sensation because honestly its crap compared to what it should have been...

Vibrant an epic device? Please, it's got a nice screen and that's about it.
Sensation bootloader will be unlocked. I'm seriously looking at a Sensation. Anybody want to buy my "epic" Vibrant?
Anyone remember Eddie murphy's movie the clumps when the grandma character says "Hercules Hercules, Hercules"!!. With a 4.5in super amoled screen and about the same price as the sensation through tmobile we will all be opening threads and saying goodbye. LOL!
nice one JCC! +1

the one thing I wish we has from the i9000 is the front unlock button. and now with us most likely getting hercules instead of gs2 it also doesn't have the front lock button
it soo stupid to put it on the side, who thought of that

Why would anybody buy a Vibrant brand new right now? It's been out almost a year, that's like comparing a 2010 Explorer with a 2011, which is a totally different body style. Of course T-Mo will keep the Vibrant priced high, because they want to sell the Sensation and upgrade as many data plans as they can.
As far as the Vibrant being epic, it overclocks well, has a great screen, awesome form factor, and does it's job nicely. That's pretty epic to me. But if you don't like it, hey, you don't have to. Go grab your sensation and join their forum
R.I.P Ryan Dunn you will be missed.
Wait this isn't a thread about him my bad. Bye anyways.

Funny thing. On the sensation forums people were complaining about the lock/unlock button being on the top instead of the side like the SGS.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
