got to play with the evo

it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***

I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.
Jealous that you got to play with it!

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.

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

I'm going to play with it again today so hopefully more pics

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

Idea to honour the N1, the King of phones.

I was just thinking, in two or three years when we've all moved on from our N1s, we could band together and stick them together into a giant android sculpture, or a transformer
#random

Crazy idea buddy but good idea to honor the n1, the best bravest and most innovative phone ever but the worst treated by the media, utterly assassinated.
Maybe a site which each person with an n1 IMEI rate their n1 online on a 1 to 5 scale - and get a virtual n1 to build a sculpture with, and a place to write comments on their virtual n1.

Or maybe make a chat app like chatroulette that uses the device numbers as registration so its n1 users only then create a meetup.

I have. I went into the tmobile store to browse around (I like using the mytouch to remind me how fast my nexus is) and a black guy (no offense to black people) that worked there was like (literally) "Oh shiz you gotz a nexus two? Beast phone evar." And he whipped his out. So I showed him mine.
Long story short, he payed me 50 bucks to make his as awesome as mine.
Too bad I forgot to mention I voided his warranty xD

lol, unless you happen to be from small town #34, NJ I doubt it.

I wonder how long it will be until Google has a manufacturer produce another developer phone?
The Nexus one is the most perfect phone for me and I cant see anything but another developer phone replacing it. It's beautiful, cutting edge, gets updates quicker, is with T-mobile, and is not under carrier control.
What more could you want?

I only know two other people who have nexii one. And they both bought one because they saw how awesome mine was.

Im sure we could get google to organise something like this, an N1 graveyard of kings.

I wonder how well it would've sold if it had been available in stores.

Now that Google have announced they have the final batch of N1s from HTC, I went and ordered another one! I'm going to leave it in mint condition.
I have had range of different cell phones since 1993 and none come close to the N1.
I know that the future will bring much better phones, however, I do recognise what Google was trying to achieve with the N1.

I unlocked it, rooted it, upgraded his radio and kernel (OC, UV - and he was still running 2.1 update 1. Working for Tmo you'd think he'd get the upgrades first xD) And after that, I gave him CM6, cause that was pretty much the easiest way to get all of the GOOD mods in one. I gave him ADW using the paperless theme, and he thought that was way cool, along with the black desire notification bar. It probably took me, including download times, about 25 minutes using his laptop. So, if I could do this for a living, I could charge $120 an hour =D

Good idea for an APP. Kind of like Google Latitude, but open, and it only shows other people with the same phone. =D

Not a lot, but what if they come out with a phone that has 1gb of RAM and a dual core 2ghz proc.
I'm pretty sure that if there was a developer phone with something like that, I *might* drop my Nexus, and run drooling to the online store =D

just buy the map packs later when you dont get xp in the current level your on
i bought all the map packs and currently level 27, i am leeching off of level 50's (if they dont boot me) in the last area so i can level faster heheh

Have to say, I started playing this last night and I am already up to level 10.....an amazing little game.
It is a little annoying that you will have to keep paying for this game the longer you play, but I can probably get over that.
With that being said, this thing murders my battery lol....guess that is to be expected.

Sprint announcement tonight ..

I just hope the people who are overly complaining stay that way. One thing that blows my mind is when someone complains before they even see the product. Now don't get me wrong I know everyone want a evo 2, but nothing wrong with sprint trying something new out. And to those threatening to leave your contract because of this, lol like people haven't said this before and got raped with no lube by the next carrier you went to - give me a break.
[update] This phone is horrid, i tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, and i guess you can't do that with sprint (my first time signing up with them in sept ember), oh well wait for MWC.

What time is the announcement suppose to b I just wanna know what it is since its an "industry first"

that would be a first but they can't even get Qik to work right. They need to enhance the service before bringing some phone with a hinge into the mix. EVO's screen is big enough WTF am I gonna really do with 2 and 3D don't ever go there. I need a 3D phone like I need a hole in my head. I can put my foot on a hinge while Sprint wears some 3D glasses and kickem in the face. This is upsetting.

What you need is some basic punctuation and grammar lessons. QIK works just fine for me. every time i've fired it up, it works exactly as described. as for the rest of it, is there any point to getting bent outta shape by an announcement that hasn't happened?

No one, not even you knows the full truth of what's coming out. So don't go beating on rumors and talk cause that just puts you in the middle of crowd. Hell, even if it does turn out to be 3d dual screen and what ever else the rumors report, you've got no idea of the specs. That's our favorite report. So hold your pants on. We've got what, another hour to go? Or some crap like that.

I did find that quite nice. Bout damn time you don't see the iPhone plastered on every commercial, TV show, tech site, or ham sammich at your local gas station.
On another note.... Durbin and Tyler would have been awesome.... but eeh... Durbin and Judas Priest was sweet, too.
