got to play with the evo

it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***

I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.
Jealous that you got to play with it!

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.

My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.

joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

omg I hate you!

Wait for the op's pic.

sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.

tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.

it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!

giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!

From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.

I'm going to play with it again today so hopefully more pics

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks

The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch

EVO CARNAGE! ok not really but its messed up

So today the baby decided to slap the evo causing it to land on the very corner onto tile. The glass piece above the lcd is shattered but the screen protector kept it together nice. Here some pics for you all.

that makes me hurt inside... sorry for the lost. asurion claim in your future?

My condolences on your loss but...wallpaper link? lol

Yup. Tried to do it online got an error. called sprint, they didnt put insurance on the account when I got the phone. lol. Went to sprint had them add insurance since my other two lines had it. I always want insurance on 500 dollar phones because stuff like this ALWAYS seems to happen. So I will be now calling them sometime shortly. I wish sprint could just fix it. I saw the teardown pics. didnt look that hard to me. lol

My EVO was stolen...

And I'm eligible for an upgrade, get the Epic, or wait for the holiday season for better phones?

Definitely get another Evo, unless you want a physical keyboard. I'd be very surprised if Sprint cannibalizes the Evo & Epic that quickly (before the holiday season).
I don't know what's scheduled to be released, but I'd be surprised if Sprint adds anything Android better than a non-4G, 1GHz, 3.7" screen by then.

Stuff gets stolen all the time, even phones. Sometimes, people even break windows to get into locked cars and houses! GASP!
They even have a word for it. It's called . . . wait for it . . . "STEALING!"

MY question is how are you eligible for an upgrade already? Is it another line on your account? I would say the Epic looks pretty amazing though I have heard mixed reviews on the Super AMOLED screens outside. And yeah I work at a Sprint store I haven't heard anything about any amazing new phone coming out by the holidays.

i almost got my phone stolen, some little turd stole it from my belt clip, a friend and I chased him around the projects until he was too tired to keep running, and tried to duck into his apartment building. at which time my phone was returned. thankfully with out much more hassle.
stuff happens.
to the OP. unless you were unhappy with the evo, id say get another. sorry about the stolen phone

get another evo and go buy wavesecure, its 20% off right now anyway. then try to get the same person to steal it and use wavesecure to find both, then you have two evos

Only thing Epic has going for it is the Camera and keyboard... I don't like the UI at all... played with one a day ago, and it just didn't compare to a 2.2 evo sluggish really.. play with one before you get it.

maybe when it's in reference to a person.
OP: pay the $100 for the evo, sell it to recoup the initial and some of the insurance cost, and get the epic, since you're probably going to get it anyway. even though you'll have to spend $100 up front (or in your bill), you will be able to recover some of the money you initially spent on the original device. there's no use in not doing so if you have insurance. i would do it even if i had a touch pro. I sold mine for $150 a week ago. you aren't defrauding anyone if your phone actually got stolen.

Sprint announcement tonight ..

I just hope the people who are overly complaining stay that way. One thing that blows my mind is when someone complains before they even see the product. Now don't get me wrong I know everyone want a evo 2, but nothing wrong with sprint trying something new out. And to those threatening to leave your contract because of this, lol like people haven't said this before and got raped with no lube by the next carrier you went to - give me a break.
[update] This phone is horrid, i tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, and i guess you can't do that with sprint (my first time signing up with them in sept ember), oh well wait for MWC.

that would be a first but they can't even get Qik to work right. They need to enhance the service before bringing some phone with a hinge into the mix. EVO's screen is big enough WTF am I gonna really do with 2 and 3D don't ever go there. I need a 3D phone like I need a hole in my head. I can put my foot on a hinge while Sprint wears some 3D glasses and kickem in the face. This is upsetting.

What you need is some basic punctuation and grammar lessons. QIK works just fine for me. every time i've fired it up, it works exactly as described. as for the rest of it, is there any point to getting bent outta shape by an announcement that hasn't happened?

No one, not even you knows the full truth of what's coming out. So don't go beating on rumors and talk cause that just puts you in the middle of crowd. Hell, even if it does turn out to be 3d dual screen and what ever else the rumors report, you've got no idea of the specs. That's our favorite report. So hold your pants on. We've got what, another hour to go? Or some crap like that.

You have a point. Even if it is 3D(which i'm NOT a fan of) what if it's some 2ghz beast-mode phone?? All we gotta do is wait for the community here to get there hands on it. i'm sure it'll be usable in no time!

im getting excited and maybe industry and maybe they will release it tomm

Well just an FYI.. the plan im switching to on Verizon is only $10 a month more than what im paying on Sprint. And I get LTE inside my house so its worth it to me.

M7 vs. M8 Comparison Video

Nice vid! this made my mind up. I am going to get this over the S5. Had the S3 and S4, N2...time to try something different.

Those camera shots look amazing!
Another source saying Verizon only... I hope that part of the video is wrong.

If that is glass I might have to rethink this device. Part of what made the One so durable was the fact that it didnt have glass covering the whole front. Call me paranoid but covering the speaker grills with glass is likely going to result in busted glass. I really hope it's just reflection and glass dust but it doesn't appear that way so maybe I need to wait for drop test results.

No. The speaker grills are seperate. Look closely. Those are metal scratch on the grill and not from the glass extension.
