i hate to be a hater but damn it's kinda fun

Mine works perfectly in hand with no tinting issues. My Evo on the other hand, pretty much hit every issue like it had a grocery list and didn't want to miss anything.

So if you hold the phone in such a way that you would never naturally hold the phone, then it gets a somewhat diminished signal? How horrible.
the screen issue is bad if it is common. It doesn't appear to be universal.

nice. i'm happy you don't have to deal with two ****ty handsets in a row... that'd just be terrible.
but hopefully this news will soothe the unease some evo owners have right now. even the infallible apple runs into qc issues

How are you getting along with the smaller screen? Were you an iPhone 3GS user before the Evo?

treo 700p user before the EVO. but i relied on an ipod touch for a lot of things and no, i cna't go back to that smaller screen

Interesting. Since the sides of the iPhone 4 are the antennae, when one holds it against his body he would also be electrically conducting part of the signal, and thereby affecting that signal somehow.

Well give me your EVO so I can do your grocery shopping for you.

If the phone in the video is representative of a lot of iphones, then that is pretty bad.

I did a search on youtube for "iphone 4 issues" and for today only. There were a lot of post about this reception thing. seems like a lot of people are going to get this when they get their phones today.
I'm going to show the people at work that I can do a magic trick with their iPhone 4

How could this possibly not get noticed at testing? Was everyone at the bar drinking and not using it instead?
Silly apple.

I can give a **** less.....Iphone still suck

I met my friend tonight with the new iPhone 4. I am very impressed with the quality and feel of the product. Screen is awesome. My Evo looks huge next to it. Like abnormally mutant-like large. Every phone feels tiny to me now. My friend said that it looks like I have a mini iPad.

Apple was planning to use us as an Antenna for the Iphone and give us cancer!!

Quick question about Epic and Evo (Not troll related)

I was offered a trade for my Evo and 100 bucks for an Epic and the money isn't really THAT much of an issue but I wanted to know would I regret it in terms of not as many roms for support for the Epic or is the community as large and as Nice.
I did enjoy holding on in the store and if you look at my past posts I'm not a troll trying to start a debate I just want honest opinions. Would you go with the epic if you owned and Evo and why?

Okay, I think i'm going to go with it. I'm a phone junkie anyway and am willing to go with something else. I am just nervous about getting burned over the lack of development on this section for the phone. Are there any cool mods for the Epic?

While we may not have as many devs tha evo users have, we do have some very good devs that do amazing work. We don't have 100 roms and kernels but we don't need 100, the roms we have are blazing. If you can i'd pick up the epic over the evo

I just came from the EVO a week ago. 2 things I don't like so far about the Epic are the charger plug being on the top of the phone and selecting text is not nearly as easy as on the EVO. The main thing that irritates me is the charger port placement. When I use the phone while charging the cord dangles annoyingly in my face. The text selecting is not going to be an issue once I'm rooted of course. Other than those things the Epic is a far superior phone imo. To add to the other post of pros, I'm getting much better battery life with the Epic compared to the EVO.

Awesome I think i'm going to make this deal happen before the guy gets second thoughts lol. I agree about it not needing as many roms as long as I can play my Galcon and Angry birds on it i'm good.
I really don't care for a physical keyboard as I haven't had a phone with one since the samsung instinct (went from the Instinct to the s30 to the Hero to the iPhone to the Nexus One to the Evo. And throw in a couple of Blackberries here and there along the way. lol) Swype and even swift keyboard work quicker for me than a physical keyboard. Maybe i'll get re aquatinted with it now.

I too like to change phone often. I was on the exact same boat a couple weeks ago when someone offered to trade my EVO for an Epic. The only thing we kept was our memory cards. In the beginning I was regretting as the charger cable got in my way, less development, and felt less sturdy. But after warming up to it a definetly prefer it. The screen is gorgeous and the hummingbird is defintely faster then snapdragon stock. I do miss 2.2 but it should come in november. Noobnl is also working on porting cynogen 6.1 so that's exciting news on the rom front. Just my 2cents. Enjoy!

I got my evo on launch day. Before the end if its days it was running cm6 rc1. U got my epic on release and it us far superior then running my evo with cm6. I haven't looked back now regretted making the switch. I think u used the physical key board once. I love having swype put installed. I didn't like how the swype beta worked on the evo
Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App

The Epic is better then the evo in specs across the board, the rest is personal preferences.

im coming over from an evo and i dont regret it one bit..love the phone..even if its not on froyo yet i feel it performs better than the evo..i wasnt too big of a fan of touchwiz but with the launcher options that isnt even an issue..as far as the roms yes there arent many, but theres a few gems out right now and from what i understand the devs are hanging back until the update to froyo..so in my opinion i would say yes trade it for the epic but what i like you may not like

Well the deal was done and the selling point was the Evo section and showing the guy how to download rom after rom after rom for the Evo. I felt like putting my child up for adoption when he was holding my Evo and now the Epic is sitting in the corner like a pets first night in your home. Warming up to it in baby steps.
I do love the physical keyboard though. I think it was already broken in by the guy so it didn't feel stiff at all and my fat thumbs were having a field day. Now the next debate in my mind will be to Zagg shield or not to Zagg sheild. I wish they were universal because I wouldn't have given mine to him.

The case around it makes it bigger but has saved mine. Never used a screen prot. I've beat this thing up and havn't been able to hurt the screen. Crazy strong. I love the smooth glass feel. Can't do the protector. Good thing they used special glass.
The USB at the top is a hit and miss. I Never really ever charge it because I just switch out from my second Batt. I get a way better charge using the ext charger. Hold 100% for a good hour. But I can see it being a pain while using it.
But... if your plugging it in for the computer or in your car. Top is best. It will sit on the seat or in a slot/cup holder better.
I recommend a second Battery for every one.

Definitely agree. I picked up another one recently and it has been great. I use mine very very heavily and it usually only lasts around 9 hours. That's with heavy listening of music, texting, emails, etc... Definitely loving the fact that I never have to have it sit and charge

Lol I know what you mean. I had my Evo for awhile and bought an Epic a week after release. I switched back and forth on a regular basis between the Evo and Epic and always felt like I was cheating on the Evo. Finally made a committment today and sold my Evo for $425 and stuck with my mistress.
The only things I really miss about the Evo are some of the HTC apps as well as the sense widgets, mainly the email widget. Dont get me wrong the Evo was a great phone, but the Epic has a lot of features that won me over. Mainly the keyboard for playing games (Punch Out FTW!), the overall speed difference, and swype. I had swype on my evo, but there were always issues with it.

@a454nova: I did get an extra battery in the deal which was great for me. And I just realized how much better it is to have it charging from the top is in the car as i'm always driving. thanks for the obvious but I was oblivious to tip.
@chino0131: I have gotten used to not having them with the MIUI Rom for evo. Which was my favorite with the exception of Myns version 2.2. If you end up going from an Epic to an Evo I highly suggest the Myn rom. I also just got the dag-on desire animated flip clock on my evo. lol. I am going to miss sense and I must say the "Epic is better" is hogwash. Without the stats you wouldn't notice anything. But I am very happy with my Epic.
On another note, I'm still on the fence about getting a shield still. I'm going to look up the glass to see if it really is scratch resistant and what not. Can't wait for Froyo!

I reccomend getting a realook or clarivue screen protector over zagg. Zagg is thicker and more durable but the realook amd clarivue are super clear and thin and don't compromise the look of the screen at all and they feel almost as smooth as the glass screen. The screen is one of main selling point of the phone so u don't wanna comprimise the clarrity of the screen.

Where can I purchase these screen protectors? Are they only for sale online?

I went from an Evo to an Epic about a month ago or something. Overall I like the Epic, I'm just really starting to miss flash 10. I watch TV shows online all the time and can't do that anymore without froyo.
I think the Epic has better quality pictures. The screen is nice. The battery is longer, but I'm still waiting for my 2nd and 3rd batteries to come in the mail so I don't have to sit by an outlet before the end of the day.
My main selling point on the epic was the keyboard, which I sometimes get annoyed with when it doesnt recognize all the letters I type.
I had a screen protector on mine, but it keeps falling off so I finally just left it off. The way the glass feels and how the screen is unhindered is so much better, but I'm also paranoid of it getting scratched. Tough decision.
Overall, I'm dying for CM or a port of it. I like AOSP much more than any other launcher.

I put an eXtreme guard protector on my Epic, had the same kind on my moment.
If you put it on well, you can hardly tell its there. It's the kind that goes on with a little soapy water.They're $2.49 with free shipping now, I think I paid $3.99.
Has a much better feel then ones that are just stick on, again you can hardly tell it's there even when using it.

the best looking

Is it just me or is the nexus just sexiest phone. not trolling just every time i see one i want it. best looking by far.

I remove mine from its case as soon as I get home, just can't stand its looks being spoiled It might also just be me but it feels seriously slick as well!

I like the simplicity of it. No chrome, bezels, etc. Not that those are necessarily bad things but depending on the design, sometimes it gets cluttered.

the nexus is freaking beautiful. prob the nicest phone i've ever had or seen. i have it out of the case now just to enjoy using it naked! i actually hate this though because i keep avoiding upgrading to a new phone cause none are as good as the n1, but at some point i will have to switch!

I agree. Nexus One is one of the sexiest looking devices out there :drools:
I was real sad that I had to sell my Nexus One because of the T-mobile/Att merger but, outside of a white iPhone 4, no other phone even comes close

You didn't have to sell your phone because of the merger, not yet at least. The merger hasn't even started yet. Maybe in a year or two it will be necessary, but a lot will change over that time.

It's extremely sexy! Just ask the girls at AVN!

I was in love with my vibrant--then I got an N1 for my other line and I kinda neglect the sammy goodness now. The vibe is definitely jealous.

I like it but I think it would look so much better with the G2's trackpad that lights up!

If there ever is an HTC nexus 2 I hope they simply update and refine the Nexus Ones look and features but don't do something extreme and for the love of God keep the damn trackpad, or a trackball.

i agree with you, but it wont happen. HTC will do every single thing opposite of what we want, and then do things nobody would have cared about in the first place. i'd bet money on it!!
i'm sure they'll remove the trackball and give no notifications, then make some solid back so no extended battery possible.

same here

I have to agree with you and have said this in other forums... the N1 is the sexiest consumer electronics device so far in my opinion. I like the industrial design of the iPad 1 and the iPhone 4 a lot, but this phone just feels so good in the hand and its metal casing and soft touch accents make me never put a case on it just because I love the slim form factor in my hand and pocket too much. only thing I did was keep an invisibleShield on it at all times.

I think I actually prefer the look of the a HTC Pyramid a little more than the Nexus One. The simplicity of the Nexus S has also caught my eye. Overall the Nexus One may win... however, if Apple made a cell-phone sized iPad, I think I would prefer that to anything else hands-down. The original HTC Desire is also nice looking...

I love my Nexus One!
It's Teflon® coating looks simply stunning.
I probably won't upgrade until HTC Pyramid is out and about.

Up until now only the nexus one and the pyramid made me call them "sexy".

I like the Pyramid design. It's very similar. The Thunderbolt/Aspire are nearly as nice as my N1. I really like my case it shows off the front, but it's still not as sleak and nexy as it is w/o it!
I love the trackball. It will never be the same w/o it!
Those samsung phones are Uugly!

Love the teflon coating ... very unique.

No doubt when I got it I bought it along with ATT captivate. I almost wanted to sell my n1 over my captivate. I was crazy I tell you crazy. But yeah phone is not too big but perfect. I like it Alot cuz you can mod. I love modding. Cars, bikes and my phone. Lol.

EVO body design

I haven't seen a thread like this, nor have i even heard mention of this for that matter.
What do you think about the body design of the EVO? I'm talking about the exterior, so the shape, curvature and that sort of thing.
I like the screens design, how the glass is the entire front. No borders. I also like the overall color scheme, especially the cameras.
The only thing i really don't like is the curved back. It looks like the phone is being stretched, like its overly full.

I don't like how the camera lens was designed; whos bright idea was it to have it stick out anyways lol! I HATE how weak the volume and power buttons get from the wear and tear (rooting, flashing). I like just about everything else, best phone I've had hands down.
It takes 2 clicks now to lower or raise my volume lol......*facepalm*

In all seriousness.. Is it perfect? No. Is it the most stunning mobile device to date? Yes

I like the overall design except the camera and the ear piece. It scratches my ear while talking on it.

I hate the design of the phone. I wish they would have taken a page out of the Nexus One's book when they made the EVO. I miss my Nexus One (don't miss T-Mobile though, lulz).
I am looking forward to the EVO3D, though I wish Sprint was getting the Sensation instead. I LOVE the way the Sensation looks.

The Sensation is the EVO3D minus the 3D. And it is more aesthetically pleasing (IMHO): http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/overview.html

I'd prefer the Sensation because of the design/appearance. Easily give up the 3D for that. Short of the 3D, it's the same phone.

i love the design, but would have loved to have the curved front glass and gorilla glass...also the camera should have been recessed ...other than that perfect...

I wish it was more like the inspire or tbolt. After handling those, with their sexy aluminum bodies, the EVO seems platsticky and cheap. I also don't like the angle of the sides at all. I wish the sides were a uniform dimension. All of this is easily solved with a case anyways. Almost a must.

So I'm guessing you spend more time talking on your captivate than actually using it as a smart phone.
I don't spend more than 10 minutes on the phone when outside so having the big phone to my face is no big deal. If you plan on talking for a long time that's what bluetooth, speakerphone, and headsets are for. Browsing the web, watching video, and gaming is what I mainly use my Note and previous smartphones for...this phone overly satisfies what I look for in a phone.

Is this a troll thread? Obviously we speak via telepathy on our Galaxy Note DUH.

Got my Note about a week ago, absolutely amazing, has been the envy of just about every other smartphone owner in my office. (particularly the people who just forked out ~$800 for a 4GS, when i tell them i got the note for $730 delivered)
few people gripe about it being too big. imo, if it fits in your pocket, it's just right!
as I jot down things on post-its constantly this is PERFECT, my desk and monitor are no longer covered in yellow squares.
I do miss the trackball from my HTC desire tho.. but otherwise this is better in almost every respect. (still think the Stock Samsung Icon set looks cheap and nasty tho)
Rooting and installing CWM was a peice of cake, looking forward to some quality custom roms to hit this very robust device

I do miss the trackball from my HTC desire tho.. but otherwise this is better in almost every respect. (still think the Stock Samsung Icon set looks cheap and nasty tho)
Rooting and installing CWM was a peice of cake, looking forward to some quality custom roms to hit this very robust device

Just switched from Desire to GNote, and I also miss the trackball. One more thing that I miss is the notification led... But in overall the pros far outweigh the cons

I was visiting India for a couple of weeks on business and I noticed a live one sitting on my neighborhood cell phone store! Asked to see it, naturally! Frigging huge! Holy **** almost the size of my nook color! How is someone supposed to talk with this???? It's 34k rupees here, almost 660$... Pretty cheap Imo. I love the display, I was almost ashamed to bring out my captivate! Almost... Then I remembered that I can talk with my captivate. Lol..

Okay... Still in India.. Saw a live gs2 today... Man, USA is really far behind in having live displays around! Dummies everywhere! First time I saw a live gs2, even though it has been out for 6 months.. Man that things is freakishly fast, my captivate looked like a freaking kid.... Didn't notice a whole lot of difference in the displays though, point to be noted here is that I use voodoo color. My girlfriend actually said my captivate looked better, at full brightness n same galaxy lwp. I laughed, of course... Lol!
But man o man.. That 720p display looks sweet on the note, imagine how great it would look on a screen of 4.6".. Plus a manageable form factor.... Nexus here I come!

I have no problem gripping the Note and talking with it. Doesn't look awkward at all.

Gonna treat that as a joke... I will give you everything about the note, just not the awkwardness.
