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.

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

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

There is a whole lot more of it on www.google.com/images "insert search string here" especially after you turn safe search off. Not to mention pornotube or whatever the hell all the you tube equivalents are. I'd say the least of the worries is the mostly soft stuff in the market.

nice vid but old
Its funny cause before I got my EVO I never used Android just winmo. I heard about porn on Android but I don't really see it at all..
I know funny I guess I'm searching wrong or something. Even using the browser most web sites are designed for full browser..I dunno maybe I just need to research better.
Funny Vid!
Maybe they should set up age ratings then put some parental controls on there. Just have it be user or developer rated, so it's still "open"
That might keep the kiddies safe and might give developers more encouragement to make mature violent porn filled games for me(I would love Duke Nukem for android!).
Now that I think about it I havn't seen one game I would say was a M rating for android
No, android is for porn, especially the evo, check this out!

Ya, but it doesn't need to made easy for them. You really think it is responsible to make it easy. Android needs to have an adult section. Besides the fact developers are spamming the crap out of the market with the all the porn crap. Everytime I look and see what's new, 50% of it is new porn. Look at sowallpaper.com, he/she is the king of spam!

Um...no.
CM is AOSP plus a whole slew of features that should have been default in AOSP.
CM is far from a vanilla rom.
Have you ever wanted to redesign a thing so it would be right?
Well here it is. The code is there to be touched. The devs have sweated into it. Its not data mining for Google though it can be. It's not spinning frames though it can track context.
Take others' advice and read up.
As for me, I'll know when my transition criteria are in cm.
I heard that it is faster than other ROMS but the battery life is inferior to Fresh Custom ROM and others. Is this true?
Also, call me crazy, but AOSP is just plain and ugly. =/
I get the same battery life on sense roms that I do on cm.
With cm7, there is a 'theme chooser' app which is pretty cool. There are only 3 themes right now but i am sure it is easy to make your own.
Also, there are cool things like quite times, gestures, goggles (prevents you from drunk texting, lol), and settings so you can tweak basically any aspect of the phone.
It really comes down to preference is all. If you havent tried it out you should, you never know if you will like it or not

True. I know that it is as customizable as it gets, but I am reluctant to leaving the aesthetics of Sense behind. I know it can be quite unnecessary, but some of it is actually pretty useful. I specially like how it handles "People" where it syncs the information with Facebook, Twitter, etc. and segregates all relevant TXTs, e-mails, profile updates to that specific contact. Does AOSP have a similar option?
I am not the social network kinda guy so I am not sure. I'm not going to say there is an app for that because I would have no idea lol!
I can totally see someone digging sense, as I have used myn's and it is definitely visually appealing. I have also used MIUI and I can see how people like that also.
You can always do a full nandroid and return to your original rom after you try it out. More or less, just wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't just a plain jane rom
load it up and give it a shot.

This.
I installed CM on my EVO and got annoyed because it wasn't the Vanilla ROM I wanted. It used ADW for a desktop and the Visual Voicemail and 4G didn't work. Lame.
Of all the ROMS, Fresh (all though probably the most conservative) seems to be the most stable.
Hello
Well if you guys remember I had a thread saying I had a bunch of apps.
Well I have a problem.
I have on Titanium 309 user apps backed up
I hate how it takes like an hour to restore.
Okay here's my problem I use like 1/10 of them and that's it. All the others are apps that are games that I keep because I like showing off my phone and having a bunch of apps and such to my friends and don't want them to say I have a boring phone. The other reason is because I "think they will be necessary at one point" but that point hasn't come. For example I have shazam pro and haven't used it.
I have asphalt 5 and my friend is the only one that uses it.
Almost all my friends have android phones and while most of them have like 2 games compared to like the 150 I have they are happy and don't care. I do?
I would love to use the adwex vertical new drawer but my friends will say "its so gay it looks like an iphone" so I switched to launcherpro.
Its almost like I have all those things to please everyone else but im not pleased with that
So should I delete all my backups and just download apps I use and not care if I don't have cool games and things? Since I don't use them?

If you have room stay with them. I myself have delete the game(s) as soon as im finished with it. On the other hand when you get bored and want those games back so stay up them. try to block those negative thoughts your friends gives you. Their legit buyes so even with one game their happy unlike us.

Always like "OOO i think i'mma need this app to show off to my friend" but that day never comes.
I've deleted all my backed up apps and now have 80 user apps, and i still don't use about 20 of them, but those are games and i need them sooner or later at boredom. I will never go above 100 user apps. that is a promise to my self, and i don't wanna hurt my phone lol.

We should start an "appaholic" support group. I have had this problem for over 2 yrs now. The nice thing about my G1 towards the end was I couldn't install too many apps even with app2sd it would run out of space around 75 or so. Now I clean my phone every 6 weeks and I keep it that way for about a week. But then I fall off the wagon again. I just can't stop so I guess I'll just keep cleaning and reloading because new apps keep coming out and I just gotta have em.
Its comforting to know I am not alone......

OP, once you have that crap off your phone, ADW EX setup properly and a handful of really good apps... your phone will both look better and run so much better.
If you need some docks/icons there is a good thread in the android theme section (not the vibrant section). I use the Vertical New app drawer and random transitions. Beautiful.

I seem to notice many of the 'free apps of the day' have bad reviews because people CONSTANTLY complain about permissions. Always asking "why does this need SD card access, why does this need GPS" blah blah blah. Then they rate it 1 star.

No,launchers(Pro launcher,Zeam,GO,etc..) are just what the name implies.They are light and don't have big imprint on system resources.
Now Home Replacements while similar to Launchers use a lot more ram,cpu and battery.
Home Replacement is not just a launcher but complete android overhaul kinda like Sense,Twiz,Breeze UI etc..
I don't discourage people from using them because they offer a lot of visual eye candy but will drain your battery faster(in most cases).With GO Launcher you can get nice visual effects and good performance-i tried almost all of them and GO is the best i found,Zeam is nice too but don't look as good.
For those that wanna try Home Replacements there is Panda Home,Home++,LG Home,Metro UI just to name a few.
Here is a good article on Launchers/HM Replacements http://kschang.hubpages.com/hub/Droid-Home-Replacement-App-Comparison it has almost all Launchers and home Replacements.

If you bored with Epic try SPB Shell you will feel like you have a new phone.Wave Launcher is another unique one it mimics WebOS.
Where did you learn that "Home Replacements" are different than "Launchers?"
I'm not arguing that you're wrong, but what I've read contradicts whatyou say, so i'd like to be sure I know what I'm talking about

You may be right idk,but to me there is a difference between two because apps like Dxtop and Panda Home do more things than launchers but with GO,Pro and ADW that line seams to be blurring.
