I have several friends with the droid x and have rooted many of them. I wouldn't trade my evo for one///ever.

I rooted mine and all that good stuff it wasn't hard at all. Is the evo eaisier and does it have a better screen????

They are similar in specs. You should play with the Evo at a Sprint store. Most have it on display now.

Well Evo seems easier to root with unrevoked and screen is almost the same, I hate hump in the back of the droid tho, and I got tired of motorola phones (bad speakers in most the I owned ) so I stick with the Evo and HTC if you want veruzon you should wait for the thunderbolt.or incredible s to come out , thunderbolt is an Evo redesing with new sense and inc s is almost the same just smaller

Verizon has been ripping me off for the last six months and im sick of it. And im sick of Motorola locking there bootloaders. Is sprint getting any new htc phoned similar to the evo???
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The specs are pretty much the same.
So in my opinion:
form factor: I like the evo. It's nice, slick, flat and sexy. The droid x has that awful bump on the back and is hideous. Winner: Evo
UI: Motoblur's happenings widget is badass, but HTC Sense is faster, better looking and more usable. The widgets are nice and don't slow the system down. Winner: Evo
Root: Don't know Droid X root method, but the Evo was by far the easiest root I've ever gotten (coming from the MyTouch Slide and the G2). Winner: Evo
Roms/dev support: We got CM, which means we have THE BEST AOSP roms on earth. We've got half a dozen fantastic sense UI roms (Myn, MikFroYo, Konikub's Elite, etc) and they're always updated and supported. Plus, a bunch of themes. Winner: Evo
I'd get an Evo, but you should try one out at the store before making a decision. Some people really like their Droids.

No. They are probably waiting for a killer device - The Echo

I love my droid!!! I don't love paying 150 bucks a month for locked a boot loader and no front facing camera. Is there a one click root for the evo or is it all about downloading drivers and that nonsense???

You have to download the HTC drivers, Android SDK (which any rooted android user should already have) and UnRevoked. Then open unrevoked and root. All done. There's an FAQ around here somewhere...

Thanks for your help and opinions fellow android users

So I've had my evo since it first came out rooted shortly after and been flashing ROMs daily til CM6. And stuck with their nightlies, but I'm ready to move on now. Giving this beauty to my girlfriend, stuck now on which phone to get next. Seriously thinking about getting the Nexus S, but also thinking about verizon's incredible. Not too sure which I'm gonna get. I just wanna know what this beautiful XDA community thinks. Maybe this could've been in another section but oh well. Sue me!

I would not get a phone that can't handle an SD card. The S looks sweet but thats it IMO. I had a Fascinate and I swore I would never get a Samsung device again because of the lack of software updates. I had an INC and liked it. Its all a matter of taste. I have had a Droid X and the original Droid and out of all the phones I like the EVO the best and my second would be the original Droid..go figure.

if you go verizon, get the thunderbolt.
at&t the atrix.
t-mobile id get the mytouch4g or wait for the lg 3d phone.
for sprint id wait for the nexus s or the evo3d.

So when are these phones coming out guys? And am I gonna have to wear glasses w the 3d lol.....? Is the Nexus really that ****ty? I've read some good reviews.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well honestly I think the Nexus S us a great device! it just comes down to what you like & what you need. Some people say to wait for Dual-core phones but personally I don't like the idea. So it's all up to you, when it comes down to it. Also take into account that the Nexus S didn't have a SD card slot, but not a big deal to me

inc and nexus s are not real upgardes from the EVO.

The taste of Miui I just got on this phone may have won me back over. I think that anything is possible if someone has the will to do it. I flashed a bunch of builds that hung at the Sammy screen and seemingly overnight things started happening fast. With my luck, Gingerbread would get released the day after I didn't have this phone anymore. I think I was just going through withdrawls from not flashing for a couple of days. Also, after seeing what the ET4G forum is like, I am happy to be a part of this one...I'm not going anywhere any time soon...and thanks
Sent from my OG Epic running Miui

Yep, as much as I wanted the ET4G, I'm glad I didn't go to the sperm bank now
Its just to many things better coming down the pipe, and the Epic is still Epic by all accounts, and it has a keyboard, so, I'm happy. And this place is much better then that place lol.

I ain't going to lie I like the epic 4g forum guys here help when you need it & all the funny post people put up that made me laugh my balls off lol it only took me 1 day to root & flash I like my nexus its sexy! But the epic to me has better video & picture quality & more memory there's give & take with both phones I got a brand new nexus for free at best buy & payed 30$ for some buy back program in 6 months I can bring it back & they will give me 50% of what it cost retail 350$!!! & then I could use that towards the nexus prime the E4GT or whatever ever phone I like

Samsung Conquer 4G (opinions)

So this has nothing to do with the epic, but I was told I was getting a brand new conquer 4G as a gift. I tried finding its forums to see what's up with the phone but it seems likeit doesn't have its own section(or I can't find it)? So I just wanted to know what you guys thought about that phone? Would it be easy to root it and make it better or is it already a great phone stock?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i have a friend that has one. He loves it, its not rooted or anything so dont have a clue about development for it. he likes it but of course he is jealous of my phone because of how badass it is...

My lady's sister has that phone. There isn't much development for it, and no official section for it on xda last I checked. There is some basic rooting info for it in general I found once. There is also another site you can find with google dedicated to only that device. As of a few months ago there were one or two roms for it.

Its size seems pretty nice to carry and have with me so I'm looking forward to getting it. And I found a way to root it, its actually the same way I rooted my epic on froyo. But I couldn't find no roms or anything for it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Coming from a tech perspective, I never see them come in for repairs though they may be indicative of little we sell of them, it's still a great little phone, probably one of the best for your money in terms of an entry level phone. Budget level android phones have come a long way, and the Conquer is a great example of that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

So one more question. What would you perfer the conquer or original evo?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

My son had one until it went through the washing machine. Great budget phone in my opinion. The lower screen resolution compared to my Epic was the only noticeable difference, that and it was running a more vanilla flavored Gingerbread without TouchWiz.

Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.
