I think it looks super cool and really makes the phone look different from the others. Personally, I think the EVOs back looks black and ordinary without the carbon fiber.
I have the CDMA HTC Diamond and was extremely relieved when the CDMA Diamond didnt get that battery cover.
To me that looks hideous and borderline cheezy.
I for one love the battery cover of the evo.
The cool factor of the diamond back wears off real quick. The points wear off if the phone is pocketed, and the create an uneven surface, aka wobbly laying flat.
The OP video has nothing to do with the OP topic.'

Hmm, that would probably annoy me greatly as I like everything to look and be perfect, or as perfect as something can be. Haha.
I don't mind the evos (Better than the droid incredible's back by far), but I think it looks a lot better with the carbon fiber. I always use the kickstand when I set it down too. I figured out if you push in on the on the short side of the hinge, it pops right out.

Care to explain, because so far, it's posted in the EVO gen forum, and the title says "Why couldn't HTC have done something cool with the battery cover like they did here..." and then a video showing the back of an HTC phone that's different than most phones.
Deleted 10chars!
all a matter of opinion I suppose ... way I see it that diamond back looks pretty lame.
why not just have the regular back and if people want to make their phone look cooler, or not cooler - depending, then they have the option.

that back looks retarded. matter of taste I guess
the battery cover suits the diamond cuz it does look like diamond cuts battery cover.wouldnt look rite on the EVO,but OP's carbon fiber defenetly looks NICE on the EVO.
Greetings All,
Just wanted to share some pics of the HTC Evo 4G and the Motorola Droid X side by side. The pictures were taken from a Samsung Captivate. These are two high end Android base smart phone and they both looks lovely, but I know we all have our views. Like which one looks more sleek, more sexy, more refine. let the opinions begin.....
Damn tough choice, I like both form factors. I would need to borrow a Droid-X for a while to really see lol. After closer inspection Evo all the way!
I actually HATE the look of the droidx. I almost never say thar about a phone. Honestly the Microsoft Kin was seeker then the X.
I like the way the camera looks a little, but the asymmetrical thing is a dealbreaker.
I love my 4g to death. It felt like heaven fell to earth when this handset dropped on Sprint, because I already had a contract with them.
I think most reviewers of the phone don't know how to manually focus the evo4g's camera. It takes better pictures then an iPhone4 I think, despite the crappier sensor (by some measures).
The one thing about the Evo that I would gripe about is the ****ing keyboard. Oh man is it a POS.

My gf has a DroidX... I like my evo better, although I would appreciate a good music and pics transferring program like vcast. I absolutely hate the camera on her X

The sensor of the EVO is not crappier than the iPhone 4 sensor. In fact the EVO is better at taking pictures outdoors, but the iPhone 4 takes the cake for indoors. My (twin) brother has an iPhone 4 and I took a ton of pics to compare. The EVO wins easily if the picture is taken outside.

I hate the Droid X because of that ugly as hell hump.
This is a little tangential, but what is that EVO running?
Looks like ADWLauncher but with Sense clock/weather and stock lock screen.
Anyone know?
I was going to hold out with verizon and get the droid x instead of the evo. Then I broke down the math, and even with early termination fees verizon couldn't come close to sprint on a per month basis even with the extra smartphone price on the evo (we have several smart phones on the family plan). After seeing those side by side pictures I am definitely glad I switched. The evo form factor is already bigger than I would prefer (but man do I love this screen size) and the droid x actually appears a bit bigger. To have basically the same screen size with a larger form factor would have annoyed me if only a little bit. The evo is already a monster on a belt clip with a work blackberry attached. The batman utility belt jokes are getting old, but the phone isn't.
Maybe beautiful widgets for the clock

Looks like Fancy Widget or that Sense for CM6 metamorph posted a few days ago.
I'm appalled by the Droid X. I can't believe they didn't refine the design any more than they did. From the huge hump in the back for the camera, to the row of buttons on the bottom/front. That is one device that I would not use and I'm really surprised THAT's what they come up with as their current gen offering. The EVO is already an obvious choice over the Droid X (IMO).. Motorola is gonna get smoked by the next HTC offering.

Killer looking all white and chrome bezel! I want!! Have you guys seen this phone before? Looks like it has 1seg tv like japan too!
That's a KIRF, just a knockoff. The buttons are wrong, the ports are wrong, resistive touch screen, the Sense UI looks fake... It's definitely not an HTC.
Yeah, I think you're right! lol It must be a white version of this phone.

Why would you want that garbage?
That thing is laggy as hell, is that donut it's running?
an all white evo would be kinda cool though.
the design looks awesome
He obviously mentioned the design haha pura pirateria
Alternate colors are nice maybe a titanium look like g2

Hehe, that thing is pretty messed up! I still wish HTC would make an all white phone for Sprint though. Or at least make less models of similar phones so the accessory industry can make like how the iPhone accessories are.

lol only cool thing I see is the built-in FM antenna but its pretty cheesy looking...I wish they could've done an internal FM antenna so you wouldn't have to have the headphones in, but oh well...small price to pay to have the real deal!
that is the ugliest pos chinese knockoff i've seen in ages.. & you really want something like this? try ebay there are tons of chinese crap devices on there.. knock yourself out. maybe literally j/k
How much you guys wanna bet that movie she was watching was pirated?
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.
another one that agree with you

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.

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*

^This... I'd would've rather the phone be thicker than have it protrude like that.
Also a camera button would've been nice. (I'm glad it's successor will have it)
Overall though, I love it's design. Initially I thought it was too large but now, anything less, seems too small.

Hear Hear! Too bad HTC seems to be stuck on the idea. I either run an extended battery or an IcyCell back just to protect it. This should not be necessary.

I agree with your existentialist and egalitarian analysis
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 would choose sensation too.. the bad thing about 3d is that yet again, it's a new thing which means people will wanna see it
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

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.

We do have gorilla glass. But the curved glass would have been super nice too. It just looks sexy like that. I agree with the camera too.
Is the sensation coming to sprint? I really do like the design of the EVO, and at the time what sprint had to offer it was the only acceptable phone.
