Hey welcome,
Been lurking for a while here myself but recently upgraded from my HTC Pure to an Evo loving it too.

Mak I have too. I had 2.1running on my TP2. But using the evo is makes me happy I waited. I can't wait until day 30 to root

I regret giving up my SERO plan now...oh well...at least I have an awesome phone.
This is a great opportunity for all those holding onto SERO.

Congrats Ace

Thanks everyone. After a lot of reading I picked the evo over the epic. Sorry to hear you lost your plan fire...I hear some people sell sero plans on eBay and the net. Compared to my mogul HTC has come along way . Congrats to all new evo owners.

I too upgraded "FINALLY" from my Hero to the Evo. Loving the phone. I won't subject y'all to the pain I had to go thru to get it though. Just know this phone kicks A$$. I am glad I chose it over the Epic. Made the right choice on that one. Enjoy everyone. Now on to Root the phone and truly unleash the power.

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

Does it have a locked bootloader??? My guess is no

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???

Oh yeh are you guys getting 2.3 ota??. Or you guys just using 2.3 roms like us folks with dx's??

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

I doubt you will. It will be 2.3.3. Im pretty sure of it. I got one last week and it was that.

I've been checking the forums; as well as, Twitter looking for a root method. I'm itching to put this Epic away.
Sent from my Epic, because my EVO arrived with the Gingerbread update.

Hahaha. Me too. Definitely never visited this forum before receiving my replacement.

First android phone?

I apolgize if there is another topic like this on this forum.
Anyways, I was just wondering what your first android phone was! And if it wasn't the epic, why did you switch to the epic? I got curious after flashing froyo on my old moment and an epic 4g theme *Nostalgia* lulz

This Epic is the first Android phone for me. Previously a Blackberry guy and COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.

First for me as well. Honestly, I miss my palm centro. It did all I could dream of. And even (almost) ran full-fledged linux

Samsung moment. (Those of us who came from this probably plan on keeping the epic awhile)

I got my first taste of android on the touch pro 2. One of the first windows mobile phones to have android ported to it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

the mighty moment was my first android phone too.. many MANY hours on SDX...

Went for Blackberry Storm to Epic. Blown away by the Epic. The only plus to the BB was the native Exchange email on the Blackberry works a lot better than the Android. Although in Froyo they did fix the embeded photos, I hate how it forwards everything as an attachment. Touchdown has fixed that issue for me, but it's a paid program.

Moment here also.

HTC Hero was my first, I upgraded to the Epic 4G instead of the Evo cause of hummingbird.

The Epic is my first Android after almost every WinMo keyboard device. Pretty nice...Pretty, pretty, pretty nice.

Also the G1 for me. But left for a minute to the Storm and a Blackberry Curve. Then came back to Android with the Hero, and then the Epic. Going to the Epic Touch shortly.

Moment here too; I used a ROM from Android Mobile Support and dearmas. It ran great I'd still be using it, but my wife bought me the epic for xmas I will certainly be using it for a while.

The Epic is my first as well. Tried some Android out on the TP2 after it was ported just like Austin.

Official ICS update

Hi guys, just wondering. Will our myTouch 4G get the official ICS update at all? or they will left us behind?

Initially HTC said they would, but tthen the representative said she was "confused" or something. So no I don't think we will get the update.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I just saw a list of devices that will be receiving official ics updates. Mt4g is not on they list. Ill look for my source and post it.

I know it says that a variety of devices which mean more devices than what are listed. But look at the list. Devices that came out way after the mt4g. Also mainly dual core devices.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I highly doubt that the mytouch 4G will receive the official ICS update from HTC. Technically the device is done with its shelf life, which is why i doubt that it'll get an update. It's fine with me though, seeing as my contract ends this year and I'll be picking up a device that will either be updated to ICS or already comes with ICS on it.

According to HTC all phones released in 2011 will get ICS and Canadian variant of MT 4G known as Panache was released in 2011. So it should get ICS update
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Thanks guys. I hope to see the custom ROM with ICS but most of them the camera is not working. not just for the MT4G, most of devices are the same. Do you know why it is so hard like this?
