I have several friends with the droid x and have rooted many of them. I wouldn't trade my evo for one///ever.

I rooted mine and all that good stuff it wasn't hard at all. Is the evo eaisier and does it have a better screen????

They are similar in specs. You should play with the Evo at a Sprint store. Most have it on display now.

Well Evo seems easier to root with unrevoked and screen is almost the same, I hate hump in the back of the droid tho, and I got tired of motorola phones (bad speakers in most the I owned ) so I stick with the Evo and HTC if you want veruzon you should wait for the thunderbolt.or incredible s to come out , thunderbolt is an Evo redesing with new sense and inc s is almost the same just smaller

Does it have a locked bootloader??? My guess is no

Verizon has been ripping me off for the last six months and im sick of it. And im sick of Motorola locking there bootloaders. Is sprint getting any new htc phoned similar to the evo???
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The specs are pretty much the same.
So in my opinion:
form factor: I like the evo. It's nice, slick, flat and sexy. The droid x has that awful bump on the back and is hideous. Winner: Evo
UI: Motoblur's happenings widget is badass, but HTC Sense is faster, better looking and more usable. The widgets are nice and don't slow the system down. Winner: Evo
Root: Don't know Droid X root method, but the Evo was by far the easiest root I've ever gotten (coming from the MyTouch Slide and the G2). Winner: Evo
Roms/dev support: We got CM, which means we have THE BEST AOSP roms on earth. We've got half a dozen fantastic sense UI roms (Myn, MikFroYo, Konikub's Elite, etc) and they're always updated and supported. Plus, a bunch of themes. Winner: Evo
I'd get an Evo, but you should try one out at the store before making a decision. Some people really like their Droids.

No. They are probably waiting for a killer device - The Echo

I love my droid!!! I don't love paying 150 bucks a month for locked a boot loader and no front facing camera. Is there a one click root for the evo or is it all about downloading drivers and that nonsense???

You have to download the HTC drivers, Android SDK (which any rooted android user should already have) and UnRevoked. Then open unrevoked and root. All done. There's an FAQ around here somewhere...

Thanks for your help and opinions fellow android users

Woot! Got my 3d

Well I just got out of my local sprint store and walked out with my 3d. When I got me EVO last year I used my wifes line. So mine was still open for renewal. Got a 150 dollar trade in for my 4G. Can't decide how I feel yet. I LOVED my EVO 4G hopefully im not dissapointed.
I don't see a 3d section on my xda app. I thought I saw one before

Unfortunately there are no phones eligible for an upgrade on my account. Even if there was my wife would throw a fit. I applied for a amazon.com store card and got approved for $600. Then found out you can't use it on amazonwireless.com. I was so close.

hboot crack
just waiting on the hboot crack and I will have one. $50 buck to change my 4G to 3D. Can't wait!!!

A phone is not worth accumulating debt.

It won't be debt I make that much in a day just can't convince the wife to let me spend that much in a day. I also have a coworker who is gonna get it with his upgrade and trade me for my EVO 4G. I just gave to spend the $180 to order it from amazon.

Battery life is for sure improved. Took it off at 7am and 13 hours later I was at 30 percent. I played around off and on and never plugged it back in. My 4G would need charging around lunch time with regular use.

The taste of Miui I just got on this phone may have won me back over. I think that anything is possible if someone has the will to do it. I flashed a bunch of builds that hung at the Sammy screen and seemingly overnight things started happening fast. With my luck, Gingerbread would get released the day after I didn't have this phone anymore. I think I was just going through withdrawls from not flashing for a couple of days. Also, after seeing what the ET4G forum is like, I am happy to be a part of this one...I'm not going anywhere any time soon...and thanks
Sent from my OG Epic running Miui

Yep, as much as I wanted the ET4G, I'm glad I didn't go to the sperm bank now
Its just to many things better coming down the pipe, and the Epic is still Epic by all accounts, and it has a keyboard, so, I'm happy. And this place is much better then that place lol.

I ain't going to lie I like the epic 4g forum guys here help when you need it & all the funny post people put up that made me laugh my balls off lol it only took me 1 day to root & flash I like my nexus its sexy! But the epic to me has better video & picture quality & more memory there's give & take with both phones I got a brand new nexus for free at best buy & payed 30$ for some buy back program in 6 months I can bring it back & they will give me 50% of what it cost retail 350$!!! & then I could use that towards the nexus prime the E4GT or whatever ever phone I like

Epic 4G broke, I have 2 options, need help!

Hey guys, my epic 4g broke recently (hardware issue) and Sprint has offered me 2 options. First, I can wait for the Epic to ship to the nearby store, which will take until Wednesday next week. Second, I can pick up an EVO 3D from them tomorrow morning.
I really like having a keyboard like on the 4g, and I really do like the OLED screen, but the EVO has a decent LCD screen with a nice resolution (960x540) and has a dual core processor. (3D too, I guess, but my guess is I'll only play around with the 3D features)
What would you guys do if you were in my situation?

Never had a 3d but had an evo 4g since launch. The lcd density is nice upgrade but the phone still weighs 170 grams while as ET4G IS only 130 grams and iphone 4s is 140g. And hardware on the ET4G is newer such as the exonos is blazing compared to qualcaom chipsets.

If the Evo is on hboot 1.5, then don't get it if you want root easily. Otherwise, I think it's a worthy upgrade.

Get the EVO 3D, sell it, then you can buy another Epic 4G for about $150 and pocket the remainder for when your are upgrade eligible and use the money towards your next upgrade.

id take the epic again unless they let you pick a nexus. I went in after my 4th broken epic and they didnt so much as give me a chance to try and get a different handset, but im betting if they let you take an Evo 3d over an Epic they will let you take a nexus S.

No clue why anyone would buy the Epic touch, After what happened with this phone and its update/software issues, even if the epic touch is fast in hardware, i guarentee in 6 months when you are supposed to get your ICS update you will be regretting your purchase. Screw samsung. Only go with nexus.

EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.

Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?

The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.

I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.

How are you still able to get a one year up? That ended forever ago didn't think they were doing anymore grandfathering in.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
