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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

They are both very close to the same phone. The g2 has a hardware keyboard, the mytouch cpu is clocked at 1ghz. That's pretty much it. It's not a matter of which is better, just what you prefer (that's the case with most phones). If you really can't stop then please see somebody.

bahahaha who cares if you trade phones?? who doesn't like switchin it up? i know i do. i just dont have the time. plus trading phones is much easier than seling and buying or just buying new ones all the time.. although you would just be able to swtich between your own phones..
and if your rooted you can just OC your g2. which i do to 1ghz.. i see no need for anything faster than that. unless its charging, i have it set to 1.2, just cause i usually charge it while i game.
ff camera is nice on the mytouch. gf has one. makes me sad i don't since i cant video chat unless i sit infront of mirror. but it works.
personally id take a g2.. duh. ffc doens't matter THAT much to me. and i text ALOT, main priority on a phone.. even thou i do use the on screen keyboard alot. my whole thought when deciding to wait for the mytouch 4g and getting the g2 was this.. if i am going to pay x amount for a phone.. i want the options of a physical keyboard if i wanna use one... and i love the look of it.
comes down to really, want a keyboard or a ffc? other than there there really not THAT different. all though i would take off the mytouch ui tmobile has on it.

Mt4g for more ram and better screen. G2 for hardware keyboard. Tough choice but I prefer the G2.
Nonsense!
MT4G : Plasticky feel, poor build compare to G2, no gorilla glass display, same resolution and similar screen size as G2, no keyboard, + point to a Front Facing Camera
G2 : Rock Solid Build, physical keyboard, superior performance with slower and similar processor(which can be oc'ed to 1.6 GHz), a bit bulky(good on its part as you know when your phone is not in your pocket vs. some lightweight phone where vibration isn't even felt), no front facing camera - Meh...
They both go neck to neck if we compare specs, as they both have similar hardware but personally i will stick to my G2 as it feels much better in my hand.

I didn't mean any disrespect, it was just my opinion. I have used N1 and G2, compared to both of them only one phone feels superior to me and that was iPhone 4.
I have Atrix and NS, both of them can't come even closer to the feeling you get holding the N1 and G2 in your hand.
Just personally like that sturdyness so much that MT4G makes me feel something is missing.

Well ya I guess you could.... Just have to find a metal frame for our evos... Being that under the black paint on the frame of our evos is "red plastic".
Viewing it
That is very sexy. I always preferred metal on my phones over plastic.
I like that, but I prefer the "racing stripe" achieved through scraping the edge of the back of an EVO. It looks phenomenal, and isn't hard to do at all.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Racing stripes made my EVO go over 9000!
I prefer a big red flame.
So.... you would leave Sprint for T-mob, for a phone you could polish?
Metal phone + vegas = a phone that is too hot to hold in the summer- looks cool but some sort of case or replacement back panel would be a must on that one.
It is a pretty sharp looking case mod, but I wouldn't leave Sprint or my EVO for it
looks tacky to me...
I recently purchased the Galaxy S5 and I have to say, it's one of the best phones I have had. I am yet to have any problems with it and it's just perfect for my everyday use!
Has anyone else got it? What are your thoughts?
Same here dude! There's so much hate going on about it online but honestly it makes no sense when this is definitely better than other galaxy phones all around and it's just a beautiful device. Just because its made with plastic shouldn't make it "bad". Glad I'm not alone!

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!
my fav was the note 2... but this phone is great the m8 was long for no reason didnt feel good in the hand and was heavy
soon as i got the 5 out the box it felt way better before even turning it on

I'm happy with it!
I've never had a problem with touchwiz. This one is more user friendly and maybe more designed for the casual user but I do find things easier now.
The battery life is better than my S3 but all phones seem to start out with battery life being good for the first year then it goes down.

I actually liked the handling of the S4 (might be one of the few who actually did lol!)
I actually have to, but I agree about the bezel. Even tho I really like the look of the S4's bezel, the one of the S5 is pretty horrible lol. I really dont like it at all. But, that alone wouldn't persuade me from getting it.
I'll also admit that the white one feels extremely slippery on the back. Besides using an OtterBox for work every day, I'm not a huge case guy. Soon as i T home each day, I take the Defender off and slip on the Spigen bumper case that I got. Phone almost slipped outta my hands quite a few times already.
Orhan than that, I got no regrets. Very well rounded device. Surely won me over once again compared to HtC

Ya, the white one comes with a more plasticy back versus black is more rubberized

I don't get how this phone has too big of a bezel. I feel like if it were any smaller id be hitting the screen too much. I'm used to a bezel coming from EVO devices so I may be a bit ignorant about it.

Probably the speed of focusing and taking the picture. Trying to get my kids at doing something funny before they have left the room by the time the picture decides to take. I have stabilization turned off.
Outside it bright conditions it takes right away.

The camera is pretty good for a PHONE. Your expectations might be a little high. I mean its hard to get a pic of my kids playing even with my high end cam so to expect this cam to do it is silly

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!

Yes, I agree. I just generally think people are way too picky nowadays and want perfection when it comes to phones. I'm like you, I prefer plastic.

I recently purchased the Galaxy S5 and I have to say, it's one of the best phones I have had. I am yet to have any problems with it and it's just perfect for my everyday use!
Has anyone else got it? What are your thoughts?

The fact that it doesn't do simultaneous voice and data definitely makes it NOT the best phone!

Does any phone do this currently?
