I wonder why that happened.
Maybe it's because people have been getting steadily more and more tech savvy over the last couple of years, since the introduction of mainstream smartphones with all carriers.
And, of course, more tech savvy people know that iphone is just a toy.

Clarification: It was #1 in sales for the quarter. Not sure what it's market share is overall, but it's moving fast.

Apple's brainwashing is wearing off and people are realizing the iPhone isn't the best thing since condoms.

Wait, but condoms aren't gre.... errr I see what you did there.

As a self proclaimed techno-geek I can tell you that what grabbed my attention was the "what droid gets" commercials. Those started me on a search for a droid device and I grabbed the EVO on launch day. My contract with Verizon had just expired and even though it was their commercial, I went with Sprint.
Got the wife a Samsung Moment and she is on that thing more than I'm on my EVO

how many android devices can you name that were out this time last year though, these numbers don't mean anything. the hero, moment, droid, eris, incredible, evo, even the backflip are counted as opposed to counting JUST the magic and G1.. really meaningless. if it happens again Q4 this year or later then it will mean everything though.

google ftw

wow, what's wrong with you?

Since apple lil screw up. And people coming to reality Its newsletters everyday stating how Android is moving up, stating that its more then 200,000 android phones gettting activated a day.
But i think its just people are finally moving up to the tech ages and not basic feature phones.

Did you Vote??

I did a rough estimate of the android phones and came with 11+k and that was like and hour ago. The iphone is only at 9k.
I dont see anything sad about android winning, even if by not much. Its a new OS that people are just now discovering. The only thing sad I can see is that there are still that many people still stuck on Apple phones.

Yep, I'd get an iPhone 4 too, simply because I like it's design a little bit more than the Evo and I love it's keyboard. I'm not a huge fan of apps anyways...I just need texting, a damn browser and a good keyboard.

The on screen keyboard on the iPhone is better than the one's on the EVO. At least they are for me.

In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

Ha wow there are already better phones, you are about too start a flame war, steve jobs can suck it and all his communistic features.

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.

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.
Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.
But here they aren't.
Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

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.

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.

imagine sense on other devices, looks like android can be ported to different devices

http://www.redsn0w.us/2011/04/android-coming-to-iphone-4-ipad-and.html
I think this can be pretty cool. I always wondered what it'd be like to run a superior OS on other hardware. I wonder if eventually bugs can be worked out and we have it running smooth or will it just stay a buggy port. Maybe we can port a gingerbread sense dump and have it running flawlessly. Who knows anyway thought i'd share...

While I prefer Android, iOS is good stuff.
iPad, iPod, iPhone, etc... it's a niche market. Why anyone would waste their time getting Android running on an iSomething is beyond me. Hardware wise, the iPhone4 isn't impressive (except for the screen).

Technically the rude guys are right. It's not about EVO, but still interesting and conversation worthy nonetheless.
I think it's interesting. I've been following the iDroid project for a long time now. It just makes sense. I have an iPad which has fantastic hardware. Software....not so much. If i could put android on it and NOT have to purchase another device, awesome! It's good to hear they've finally made some headway on it all.

With all due respect to the people attacking this thread, there's very little going on about the Evo itself anymore.

actually posts about 4g cities are relevant because people can use their 4g evo's in those 4g cities. the whole purpose of those threads are to alert people in those cities that their evos are more functional.
honeycomb source code not being released is relevant because we want it on our evos.

I actually like the IP4 hardware, if it had a larger screen (~4.3 in) and a flawless Android port, it may just be may favorite device. In reality, HTC makes good hardware and I love my EVO, though it is not as sleek and polished as Apple's hardware. Unfortunately, iOS leaves too much to be desired for me to consider it as a daily OS.

WWDC Was a Flop, We Can Move On.

no point in talking about the lack of hardware and lame ios5 update.

LMAO. Agreed. Seriously though, yes, they are some great new features. Trouble is Apple is now playing catch up. They present this crap as if it's an industry first. There was literally nothing that I saw that hasn't already been done by Android.

Did I just see people suggest that a carrier carrying a phone, that most the other carriers are going to have, is a reason to leave that carrier?

well for those with ipad 2's that cant jailbreak ios 5 may just be a blessing with some of those features jailbreakers already have

Personally, one less difference between competitors. Now more about the network. Sprint fails in my area. Of course, YMMV in yours.
It is a legit concern how much Apple's influence will hinder a carrier's Android phone development. The Apple hater in me says they will be a black hole that will surpass any nightmare Stephen Hawkins awoke from.
