What the .. ?
What were he thinking ?
either he didn't have the honor to meet Mr. Internet
OR he's the most stupid dumbass kid I've ever seen .!
Did you see how did he smash it ? WTF ! poor HD2

I'm far from violent but I feel like smashing this guys f'in brains out!!

I don't give a toss what he does to his own possessions. What does annoy me is that there are people in the world that £400 is the difference between food in their belly and a roof over their head, or going for weeks with neither.
That's a hell of a lot of ignorance he's exhibited.
I don't want to do what Don001 said. I'm not that way inclined. But can I watch?

Douchebag. This random 'tard sits there and smashes his HD2. You know what it is? His "mommy and daddy" give him all the money in the world. I have an HD2. I'm 17. I had to work my ASS off to get the $489 to pay for this thing. Just seeing a video like this sickens me. Typical money-wasting white kid. Maybe if he had to do this thing called WORK, he'd realize the value of a dollar.

+1 Why not sell it and give the money away to someone? I work in International Development and it really annoys me how much people don't think about the things they have as luxuries (e.g. an HD2).

When I watching I thought he has John Travoltas love child with some hooker, but wow, the resembles between him and the cat it canny, well if Travolta ever impregnates a cat, you know the outcome

well done, it would be much better if he smashed his head with that hammer at the end - then we would have one less idiot on the streets

If he catches you off your guard I'd be VERY suprised. I don't think he has the speed to do that. But yeah, I suppose it would be rude not to help out

I'm pretty sure that the HD2 that he smashed was not functional to begin with. Otherwise he would have definitely turned on the screen prior to hammering it. He probably bricked it after visiting XDA.

Evo Saved Guys Life and Deflected Bullet.

Yes it is that unique, it stops bullets! Dont you watch the news? haha

The Evo is also mentioned by name at the end of the CBS Atlanta clip.
As a footnote, the bullet was traveling at a very shallow angle judging from the damage to the battery. Definitely not a straight on shot.

The Police are going to refund him to buy another phone, They kept his phone as evidence in the crime. So he won't have to use none of his insurance, if he has any.

It must have been a .22 that hit him.

What a great story! if you watch the video clip, the newscasters mention the "evo cellphone" three separate times. very nice!

That's nothing. My EVO saved my life by donating a kidney. I love you, EVO.

My Evo saves me when I get hungry. I have an app that turns on my stove, and the toaster and the Ravioli boils. Through WiFi.
Just kidding... this is an incredible story lol

It was stated in the report that it was a 40 cal round that hit the phone.

They should start issuing Evos to our troops in Afghanistan.

"Now Garber is waiting for endorsements, "Sprint can contact me whenever they would like or HTC.""
Wow..really? What a tool. I am glad the cell phone saved his life and all, but why would you get endorsements? You didn't do anything special, you just got shot and it just so happened the cell phone was there. Now, it would be different if he got shot at, he grabbed the phone and deflected the shot..ha.

was the phone rooted and what rom and kernel....that is what makes a phone tougher!!! i am sure the batt was stronger with the htc battery trick for full charge

new evo commercial
this is android
and this is a battery
and this is a user that uses a phone that is faster then a speeding bullet.

probably... i mean to make such a big hype for a phone that's a brick? no 4g...? no front facing camera? this literally looks like a Nintendo DS as a phone. It doesn't really appeal to me and probably a lot of other people.

Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.
I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.

Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.

it's sort of like taking a ds. And then taking out the gaming capabilities of it, and then.... selling it.

Yes. Yes you are.

The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.
But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.
If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.
Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?
First impressions can kill...........

It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.

I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.
I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.
EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.

The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

You have been EVOfied.

4G - I don't have it...and i don't need it.
Front facing camera - Mine sucks..i hardly use it.
Maybe it's just the cool factor of it, but I think it looks more professional than the Evo.

But, remember,
you will never get an update past the OS that they ship it with
you get like a whole 5 apps that can utilize both screens, and no developer is going to waste time expanding their code base to accommodate this

Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.
. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.

Anyone Swapping Their EVO for Sprint HTC EVO View/Flyer?

has anyone thought about swapping out, or adding the flyer to their sprint account?
i would love to get one alongside my evo, but if i could find a way to practically carry it around without looking like a doofus, i would use it as my primary phone/tablet.
just wondering if anyone else is interested in this tablet by sprint.
and if youre going to keep your evo

Since it's got 4G and everything I'd assume you could use the Google Voice integration if nothing else.

It might replace my Nook Color

Uhh ... um that's kinda big for using for anything other than its intended use. That's just me though , do it maybe it will catch on and be the new trend, like saging your pants and what not.

I have the nook color and it is the size of the large Moleskin notebook -- in fact I used to use my softsided Moleskin as a "case" for it until I got a real one.
It is not very large, but I could not imagine using it as a phone unless using a bluetooth headset. Most carriers are blocking calling features--including Google Voice--on these devices. I think the T-mobile GSM version of the Galaxy Tab was the only one that got hacked into placing and receiving calls.You could do Google Voice over WiFi, but that is if the new Sprint Integration has not mucked it up, and YMMV on that. http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/05/sprint-google-voice-integration-has-major-issues-major-lack-o/

Wheres Zidzhu? Well............

Everybody has been wondering where Z has gone or been well I think I might have an incling where he might be. Well not where but what he is doing. Look at this post by Z:Z's post about MT and Unlocked Bootloader and that my friends is where I think he is. I personally feel the reason he has not been around for a while is because he is trying to get these things sorted for us. Like he said, we would not be able to change codes for the MT unless we have a cracked or unlocked bootloader. Well now we have the unlocked bootloader and he has all of a sudden dissapeared. Don't you think that is a bit unusual of Z to do something like that as the bootloader is unlocked. Well its obvious, he is now doing the things that couldn't be done when the bootloader was locked and I have this really strong feeling he is gunna come back with a grand opening of something like, "Full multi-touch for x10, 100% Legit" Like he likes to say hehe. Just maybe that is what he is doing. I hope I am right.
What do you guys think?

I think you're going to be disappointed

I have all the respect for your position, but I think that if he wish to tell us what he is doing, he would told us. And if he is doing say, full MT, 16M colors or a brand new 16-Core CPU emulator app, he has all the right doing it privately and surprise us when he wants it!

He forgot his XDA password.

Like everytime when he dissapeared, he is going to surprise us. Do you remember first FreeX10 Froyo ROM? He dissapeared for a month and then he came with working camera fix

I don't think you will ever get multitouch, that's just my opinion.

You know, this isn't his job. Just because he hasn't been here for a month doesn't mean he has to be working on something. Sure, if he is, that's great, but don't come here expecting him to release something..that's unfair for him.

One thing that really annoys me is when people say he has left when no one knows if he has also I think he will come back as he hasnt said goodbye or anything like. He does this all the time. He dont need to give eta so why that mean he has left. Remember last time he was goin to leave he said and because everyone helped him keep up what he enjoys he stayed. He is coming back and if not I hope he is enjoying a nice cold beer relaxing with his other half
