Good. The kickstand was stupid. How lazy can you be. I cannot wait for this phone.

I'm not lazy, and I love the kickstand. Just because you don't have a need doesn't mean it's stupid and people are lazy. I work a desk job and listen to bluetooth headphones.. it's pretty cool to have my evo on the kickstand so I can see the album art. Beats the hell out of buying a dock to keep my phone upright.

I understand that just because I don't use it doesn't mean nobody uses it. To me it's a gimmick. Displaying a phone upright so what? You can see album art? To me I wish it wasn't there on the EVO 4G. To each their own though.

You said it wrong. I think you meant to say "To each his own".
That phone is impressive. Love the idea of taking pictures in 3d, but I suck at taking pictures, so a blurry 3d picture is just as worthless as a blurry 2d picture..
I like the front of the phone but the back of it kinda look like a gigantic cassette tape. Don't get me wrong I like HTC phones...I have an Evo and an Inspire. But I may pass on this one and grab the Nexus S instead.

Actually, it's pretty convenient for long video chat sessions, too. Just sayin... it may be a gimmick, but it's a very useful one.

If you're going to correct my grammar and try and rack up an extra post then fine. You forgot to put the "." inside of the quotations.
It's also convenient for using it as a clock at night...I'll miss the kickstand.
Despite it all I want the kickstand also
I'm sure 3rd party manufacturers will make cases with the kick stand. Not sure why they dropped it from the design though
I will miss the kickstand. I use it to take more stable pictures and when holding the phone in landscape mode. I flip the kickstand open and slide it between my ring and middle finger on my right hand. Helps so much! and big hands helps too I guess.
I haven't seen a picture of the back yet...where are you guys seeing that there's no kickstand?
Kickstands are FTW

Here's a new video of the Evo with a glimpse of the Qik app and facebook on the Evo. mashable.com/2010/05/19/htc-evo-hands-on/
Man the evo looks enormous in that guys hand, i know it is big but it actually isn't THAT much bigger than a N1 or iphone which is a really good thing, don't want it not fitting in my pocket now .
Other than that, pretty much the same exact thing as all the other videos i've seen so far, hopefully there will be some early dedicated reviews before the 4th(still getting one anyways, always good to see the faults so you are aware of them and if they get fixed or not).
Nice view into Qik, looks pretty awesome.

Looking at the specs of the iPhones new screen... are people really holding their phones THAT close to their faces? EVO 4G... You can keep it at a distance and still see EVERYTHING clear and sharp... I dont get it?

It's simple. Think of it like TV's in your house. The smaller the screen the closer to the TV you sit to make it appear bigger.

I enjoy picking out the pixels because it makes everything seem very matrix-y, so i have it right up in my face. That, and my vision is horrible.

Now that was funny, and so true.
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.

please tell me how to get that shinny black back on the evo.

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.

Where do you get that wallpaper that's on the droid x? Love it!

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.

Damn! That sucks!
Bummer! I've actually dropped mine once so far as well, which is unusual since I have an iron grip. Of all the phones I've had in the last 10 years this is probably my 4th drp. I blame the slippery plastic.

yeah it is very slippery and i order the case too it was commin in on monday
At least we know now, that Gorilla Glass shatters as well
Oh! How horrible! I can't believe you would show something like that on a public site! There could be children watching!
My sympathies. I can't own a smartphone without insurance either, and for those of us who torture their smartphones like myself, it's worth every penny.
What's the deductible?
wouldn't it be easier to just replace the glass? I imagine it's cheaper than the deductible. ifixit did a tear down of the atrix and the glass is not affixed to the screen like the iphones, so all you'd need to do is get a new glass and slap that on, then put the phone back together.

well.... at least this proves that the face actually IS glass. Far too many times i've found myself flicking the front of the phone and thought "...... this don't feel like glass".
And no offense.... but total Fail for quoting that rapper. Can't think of his name.... all i know is that he sucks.

eeeeh..... i think even that's debatable. I kinda think he lost all credibility with his last performance at the Grammy's last year.... when he performed that song which you quoted. HORRIBLE! If you have to rely solely on autotune, you shouldn't be a musician. That also kinda goes for the Black Eyed Peas.....

Following that logic, most rock, alternative, and hardcore music denies their artists as being musicians because they turn distortion on on their amps.
Hmm ......
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
Insurance is the best $5 a month you can spend. Very smart move on your part. My wife dropped her 3 month old Evo in a puddle. After soaking it in rice for a few days it still works, but the screen has a purple tint sometimes.

If you ask me... for the most part they're quite similar. Now... i'm not saying it's like GANSTER rap or any of that crap..... but still.
Flac Vest: There's a big difference between some artists using a bit of distortion..... and something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAkSp11c7m4
There are plenty of other artists i'd rather listen to day in and day out.... namely Kerli. Absoutely fantastic voice whether it's live or album track. Kinda like this one for a live example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDpOfeZXw1o&feature=related
Can also find a video on Youtube of her singing that very song on a webcam to a sick fan.... and she still sounds quite good even though she's not really pushing her voice much.
As for the OP.... any word on replacement/repair?
@Elemental: I stand corrected. Good God.
I love that this conversation is even possible here.
This is why I got a otterbox case. No matter how careful I am with my phone I know accidents happen.

If you own a big phone, then you can relate to this funny, short video I made
Link to the video: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?...834654164&type=3&video_source=pages_video_set
I understand that some people get made fun of for getting big phones but most of the time there is a very good reason. Like me I have huge hands and if I had something with a 5 inch or smaller screen it just wouldn't fit right. IPhone for example feels like its microscopic when I hold one.
