Okay, not a holy snap cool, but some of you may care to know that an EVO was used to call Massive Dynamic on tonights ep. of Fringe.
Just a quick glimpse, but still good to see the evo in the media.
And again later in the ep - no HTC logo and the Sprint logo is 2x sized! Lol.
Shhh....I didn't watch it yet!

Funny part about this, is just the other day, there was a side discussion on how MOST tv shows are littered with iPhones, iPads, etc. Anything Apple. Not to mention every commercial break has an iPhone commercial, and on Bones, although they didn't SHOW an apple, one of the characters used the phrase, "There's an app for that".
There was an episode of "The Closer" where one of the detectives whipped out an Evo to take a video confession from a suspect, but other than that and last nights Fringe, everything else is mainly apple or the occasional Blackberry.
I saw this!
The wife thinks I'm a total nerd as it is, so I can only imagine what went through her mind as I was sitting on the couch, flashing kernels and roms on my new evo, watching Fringe (the geekiest show I know of right now) and I point to the TV and yell "OMG IT'S MY PHONE BABE LOOK!!" and nearly have an involuntary nerdgasm.
She just shook her head. Hahaha.
What was the messaging app he was using? Just a mock-up app for the show maybe? I kinda liked it.
You guys should watch leverage. The tech Guy on that show always has some new HTC phone. I've seen him with a touch diamond, touch pro, and an incredible. There was one episode where he had either an hd2 or an evo. Couldn't get a long enough look to tell.

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.

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.

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

It's annoying how apple is able to get their devices and logo plastered all through tv and movies. I'd love to see Google fight back and get some android action in place.

Actually, I am pretty positive he is using an Incredible. The back is too dark to be an N1.
Watching the show right now.
They all are switching through phones, but I noticed Drama, Ari, and even a few other people using the Nexus One.
Then later on Ari uses a blackberry.
If anybody watched 24 almost everybody used HTC's..

Ari has at least two phones on him all the time. The first thing I did when I saw the phone is flip mine over and look at the camera lol.
IDK if that was a nexus, it kinda looks like it, but so do some of the other phones and they aren't a nexus.

Clearly a nexus one.
I went back and looked on my tivo and it definitely is. You can even see the Google logo on the back of it. I think I got mixed up with the other two phones Ari has. lol
On weeds, most everyone uses an iphone, but I have seen Andy (Mary Louis Parker's brother-in-law on the TV show) use a G1 a couple times.
I was over at my Mom's the other night and was talking to her husband about my phone (He's an apple fanboy). I think I convinced him that the Iphone was a piece of $4!t.
I told him that my phone will do 3 things that the Iphone will have trouble with. First I made a call while holding the phone in my left hand. Second I pulled out the battery and finally I pulled out the SD card.
I thought it was kinda funny, so I thought I'd share...

I came over from a 3GS as well, and I might not have, if it wasn't for the iOS4 update. My 3GS was jailbroken, and set up really well, but I'm a big cycling fan (loved seeing HTC-Columbia featured in that Desire video, even if I did have to watch that tool Cavendish win...like I don't have to see that enough already), and the Tour de France app was crashing on 3.1.1, so I had to "upgrade". Even after jailbreaking iOS4, it was just never the same. Except for the camera and display, my 3GS would have handed the new iPhone its ass, in terms of functionality.
That said, I'm a longtime linux geek, and I did want an android phone, plus the school I go to, their website is in flash, and I do homework through it sometimes...very doable on the Evo, impossible on the iPhone.
Oh, and now I get through phone conversations without losing the call.

Okay guys, we had a run with our top of the line phone. Kills me that we're about to be outed by the "EVO 2". Wasn't expecting a predecessor so quickly.
Lastly, I was at a public event here in Las Vegas, Nevada today called Aviation Nation where the US air force does a little bit of showing off. Well anyways, I saw a surprising amount of EVO's there, at least 6. Versus 4 or 5 iPhone 4's.
What can I say? Phones gone particularly mainstream.

The Desire Z/G2 is 3.7". It also might be a Sprint version of the Merge coming to VZW. That one has a 3.8" screen. I'm just going by the leaked pic of the Knight/Speedy from a couple weeks back. It was noticeably smaller than the EVO.
Do you think it'll be more like shift or evo?
I hope it'll be evo size with full slide out tilting keyboard like touch pro2. I can deal with a little more thickness. But I don't think I want something I can't fit in my pants pocket.
