This is here for a comparision of the HTC Evo and HTC Hero. This is not my video, but found it on youtube and put it here for everyone to see it.
Hahaha... that was ridiculous. Man am I glad I kept my Hero now.

How was that ridiculous? He showed exactly what people want when they buy the Evo: larger screen, faster proc, etc. I don't see your point. I mean, I'm glad you're happy with your Hero. It's a great phone. I personally love mine. I'm getting an Evo, though, and will be giving my Hero to my girlfriend. It's much better than her Palm Pre... just as the Evo is much better than the Hero.
Unless, of course, I'm not understanding you. Help me out here.

Sprint says EVO gets 2.2 in "Near Future"
It's too big? Do you have dwarf hands? Little sausage fingers? Or does it not fit in the pocket of your Garanimals? Seriously, though... I have small hands and it's not too big for me to use. That screen is gorgeous.

i would go that far the hero was already outdated and old technology the day it launched lol. its a cool phone for time being but definitely in the same catagory with mytouch and g1. check out the specs, sprint just needed an android phone cause they didnt have any. i mean cmon dude the moment has a faster processor lol it will do for now but i wouldnt go as far to say i "love it" its ok and it was the best thing on sprint at the time. that is all

keeping hero not ridiculous
I kinda agree with the second post. The evo is a great phone, although I think the video shows basic android users that the hero and the evo have pretty much the same thing. NOW WHILE MOST PEOPLE HERE KNOW THATS DIFFERENT, the idea is that both phones run the stunning htc sense, have the most of the same built in apks, and on the video the hero doesn't move that much slower than the evo.
Advantage to the evo for basic users:
-4G
-better camera
-moves faster and snappier
-images look better because of a higher resolution
-swype keyboard: although anyone will be able to get this eventually
-FRONT FACING CAMERA
-BIG OL BAD SCREEN
-more storage space for apps
Disadvantages:
-4G not really existant for users outside of big cities-and most of the big cities wont get 4G till later this year.
-CAMERA has more megapixels but takes not so great pics according to reviews
-new phone= bugs, some still being worked on
-swype can be brought to any phone, and probably will soon
-some people think the screen is TOO BIG.
so for me the basic advantages are matched by the disadvantages. So I'm fine sticking with my hero. The evo is better, yes. the front camera-cool. But i don't like the size and I don't get 4G, so I'm better off waiting off a while, as hard as that can be for people who love shiny new phones with awesome specs.
i'm good with my hero for now

No, but if I wanted to serve cheese off that platter, I could! Hoers d'oeuvres, anyone?
I went by Radio Shack the other day and I didn't like the way it fit in my hand. But then again I felt the same way with my Hero because I had come from a phone that was probably 2" wide or something. After seeing the video I wouldn't mind getting one, but I'm sure they will release a better one hopefully with Android 3.0 and a dual core processor, so I will wait until then and see where I am financially. Also paying $10 extra for 4G is crazy. They should give us the option of upgrading to 4G if we live in a city were it is offered.
I don't disagree with you on any particular point. The $10 increase is BS unless they tell me they're getting 4G in my area and that fee is to cover installation. And there's always going to be a better phone. It's a fact.
...and I'll probably get that one too. >.>
LOL at you, yea you. I do that comparison everyday w my wifes hero, and the performance difference its so big its not even funny, and hers is OC. No comparison. And you would love the screen size if you ever typed in an Evo, specially coming from a Hero.

I'd like to see a video of the Evo vs. the Hero running Darch 2.7 (and eventually Froyo). No version of Sense on the Hero is as fast as Darch's AOSP. Yes, the Evo would still win but the Hero would certainly hold it own.

doesnt matter, the hero is like a tricked out honda, no matter what parts or software you program it with its stll gonna be a honda. The evo is more like a benz, it comes factory with everything you need and imagine and will be even better with aftermarket parts, i dont know why u guys think it even stand a chance, once aosp is on the evo its over for any phone with android you throw at it. the hero was dead the day it launched with its weak ass processor and unimpressive hardware specs. the chip it has in it is the same one used in the weak g1 and weak mytouch. in one month i will have my evo and im more than happy to sell this hero piece of **** on here of ebay for 40 bucks lol. its in perfect condition as i have never taken off my full body zagg invisishield. death to hero until we all get evos

Hard to disagree with any of your points. A tricked out Honda S2000 is pretty badass though
Also, seeing as I live outside of a 4G zone, giving Sprint $120/yr more for the privilege of owning an Evo just doesn't sit right. Enjoy your new toy though, it is a work of art.

You speak so negative of the Hero, yet you bought it. If it was/is a piece of crap, why did you buy it?
Check the poll: http://gizmodo.com/5657404/if-you-had-to-buy-a-smartphone-today-which-would-you-buy?skyline=true&s=i
Why did they graph the phones by OS, when people weren't voting on the OS. iPhone is at a disadvantage here, because it has so many other phones to compete against that share the same OS. The graph doesn't show that over 40% of people chose the iPhone.
Statistics...you have to love them. You can make them say anything you want.
p.s. I did vote for my lovely EVO.
I think I would get....the Evo!
Out of the current market I am still very happy with my Evo. If carrier were not an issue maybe I would get one of the new HTC line but only because they are slightly higher spec. There's nothing else out there that I am itching to get at the moment and I see myself staying that way until next summer when something new comes out that is a significant enough bump up to justify my yearly $199 gift to myself.
iphone 4 no just kidding im an evo fanboy
I miss my Dash (Excalibur)
It's not on the list but I would snatch up the Nokia N9 in a hot second! That thing is shmexy!
Another EVO4G!!!!!!!!!
Duh
the Evo what else?!
Other than an Evo, probably a Nexus One.

If it worked on a US carrier: Desire HD w/ a AOSP ROM.
If I could only choose one current phone: iPhone 4.

I would get an iPhone 4 straight up.

Out of those listed, probably the Torch.
Good and heavy paperweight.
I had an Epic before I exchanged it for an EVO. Give me the Epic but with HTC Sense. I hated Samsung's cheeze whiz UI. Too cartoony and child like for my tastes. But since I can't have that, the EVO simply does it for me. The thing is sexy!
I had the first gen Iphone, switched to G1, then mytouch then now my EVO... and definitely EVO tops all of the above mentioned!
Gave up 2 etch e sketches (iphones) already for 2 EVOs thanks to AT&T screw you customer attitude.
As far as smartphones..they are all dumb phones until rooted. That is when the rightful owner.. yes the consumer..us.. gets to take full advantage of their potential.
And I came to the conclusion that the Evo 4g is the best phone ever invented. It does everything. I have been rooted and currently left sense due to battery life. Deck 1.2.1 and sz 2.2.1 cfs SBC is the best I have ever run. The Evo offers full HDMI, 4g, great wifi, amazing battery life, I just found out I can connect a wii remote and play my nesoid and mirror any game and play 2 players w my daughter on the big screen. From a capability standpoint I have given up. There is no other phone on the market that offers me these features. Sure. Dual core. I could care less. My old Evo still rocking 1700s quadrant (for those that care) and linpacks 40+. I don't have it maxed out all the time. Lol it just works.
I Only started this thread to tell the community thank you for making/helping my Evo stomp ass on every smart phone that has challenged it! You the community have never asked me for a donation. Never begged for money. And always help when I need information.
The Evo is tits+! Thanks!

And this, I believe, is why HTC doesn't want to unlock the bootloader. Look at how many people just on this forum have started looking at other phones after they got stuck being unrooted. HTC doesn't want you to love your EVO forever; just until the newer model comes out. The developer community for the Supersonic has been amazing, and breathed a whole new life into the phone long after people were supposed to be getting tired of it.

That's a good point. A friend of mine just got the 3D. He came from a Windows mobile phone. He has been going on and on about it but the stuff that he likes are things that I have had on my rooted EVO for a while. I think his excitement is Android based and not based on that particular phone. I have compared mine and just can find enough reason to switch before I see what the development looks like. My rooted EVO is only a small step behind the stock 3D, IMO.

upgrading to a newer android phone from the evo is just like upgrading from an iphone 3g to a 3gs, only slight differences.

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
doesn't mean anything. just that sprint doesn't want it on its shelves anymore in order to sell their new devices.
I'm assuming HTC wants people to upgrade to either the 3D or the Kingdom when it releases as the Hero 4G under Sprint.
Rumor has it that the Kingdom will be a tad cheaper than the 3D. It's basically an Evo with a bigger screen and a worse camera but better hardware specs. It seems like it will be Sprint's new flagship model for some time and will probably be used to tempt all the people that are still happy with their Evo 4Gs out of hiding.
If the Evo 4+ makes it to sprint, that will be the one I am interested in...but only if I can have what I have now. I could only consider it a downgrade to go to a phone that can not do what my current phone does...really not interested if its faster...if it can't do all I have now damn the Evo is nice. I really can't think of another phone that after rooting can do. ALL the things I'm allowed to do due to the amazing development teams
I love my evo 4g
will only upgrade to a phone that's actually superior like 2.0ghz quadcore processer with 16 gig internal, 8 ram with like 1080 resolution screen 8 megapixel camera. 3 megapixel front camera and better gaming than nvidas kal-el chip
But as there aren't going to be any like that for a while I'll stick with what I've got

Evo can do it all, but adreno-200 is just not capable enough for my wants anymore.

I agree. This whole HTC locking boot loaders is so people will go out and buy their next best device. Crap I tell ya.... Worst part is, when you do buy Another device, they'll just lock it later down the road... IDK.. that sounds kinda crazy eh? LOL
Anyways the EVO is an awesome device and glad I got it.

I don't go for the conspiracy theory that THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO LIKE YOUR PHONE. This is nonsense. The more you like it the more HTC phones you will buy, and the more you will recommend it to friends. The locking seems to be due to carrier pressure, because the carrier pays for the tech support calls when people screw them up when rooting, overclocking, etc. You call HTC with a screwed up phone and they will tell you to call Sprint ;-)
Just yesterday, the Evo3D root came out, and the instructions led many hundreds of people to have to call tech support to get the phone connected to the network again! This is no joke, I was one of those who called. One of the rooters asked the Sprint rep, and he said he had personally gotten close to 70 calls just yesterday with the same "Error 16" issue due to the new root procedure!
Beyond, that, I agree, EVO 4G rules. I got a 3D, and I do not like it as much as the OG.

I have never owned a g2x. I merely made this post because I feel it is the best well rounded phone for all my needs. HDMI mirroring really makes this shine. The wiimote app only gets used occasionally but still very sweet and it works just like I have a damn old school nes haha. It just fits me and HTC locking bootloaders lol. They will eventually get unlocked. Not a big deal. Then we will all forget about the 3 weeks spent with a horribly locked 3d/sensation lmao.
Well, I have a person that is offering me an evo that is completely rootable, in exchange for my epic.. I am kind of on the fence here about this one. I know the EVO has better rom support, and everything, and I've always KINDA wanted one, but the recent progress on CM7 has me kind of wet.... Anyway, what do you guys think? Please be unbiased.

If you're gonna trade UP, do a 3devo, not a 2 generation old cpu on evo. That's called "downgrading" regardless of ROM community.
Basically it doesn't matter since both phones are at the end of their life, so even if you do trade you probably won't have the phone 3 months from now....

Those are the reason I choose my Epic over an Evo any day.
Also...(although this might be more of an opinion) we might have less ROM's but they def make it up with their awesome *quality*, while the Evo has more of a *quantity*

This. It'd be silly of you, OP, to get the Evo due to it's successor the Evo 3D. Sure, the Evo has Sense 3.0 and cm7 support, but with the Evo 3D around the corner, the future of any more progression may not be so great. I say keep the Epic; the phone's community is growing more and more nowadays and the future of this phone will be much more rewarding, I guarantee.
Plus, we have Odin, so you never have to worry about bricking your phone.
Yeah, I talked to the guy and said No... I'll be sticking with the epic.... However, even though all the "evo guys left to 3d" they still have way more devs than we do. Some of their roms like Synergy look AMAZING, I really wish the Epic would get to that point in the near future.... I mean, epic is obviously a better phone, quadrant on gb pulls consistent 2800+ compared to evos bare 2100, but the Evo just has great roms...

Agreed on that. But wait until we have Gingerbread source and we should be getting some really good development.
EC05 got pretty good development, but right now our community just happens to focus on leaks more right now,
Once the leaks simmer down and Gingerbread is officially released w/ its source code and everything, we should be getting more goodies.
I really hope so... the only real devs we have are like the cm team and some of the miui team.....
Read the g1 forums. They got honeycomb and all kinds of twacked out crap. Mytouch 3g.... these phones don't get good TIL they are end of line.

i felt like an idiot after buying a 3VO.
the dev-ing is still in early stages (to me), the 3d isnt really that impressive ( reminds me of holograpic x-men cards), and im basically stuck using sense 3.0 (after being on 3.5) if i wanna use 3D.
i knew it was a faster phone, but with the excellent kernels & streamlined roms of the 4g, i dont really feel the power....lol
i recommend sticking with the OG till they bring out the quad core evo next year, by that time the 3d should have a great following.
Since im on boost & only paid $100 for the 3VO i really shouldnt complain, but unless you can get one "dirt" cheap, dont switch
With the OG EVO hitting 2 years next summer everyone will get the latest phone so expect it to get a lot of support.

Thanks J_apa_n for the feedback. I added the 3d and the Epic Touch forums to my XDA favorite folder so I can keep up with the progress. However, neither phone seems ready for prime time just yet. At worse, the 3d is just too similar to the EVO to lock in another contract. The Epic Touch seems like a world beater, but has some troubling issues....especially considering Samsung's track record. On the EVO, it seems that after a lull in action, development has blown back up. I'm just hoping the HTC Edge is released as the next EVO once they add a CDMA radio.

i'm still rocking the original evo and i'm glad i've stuck with it.
sadly, sprint coverage (voice and especially data) is horrendous in the place i now live and work - western and central pennsylvania - so i'm probably going to be switching over to verizon once i get a chance to play with the nexus and compare it to whatever g2s models are out.
but the ol' evo definitely has been good to me.
I dont even see how u can compare a evo to a evo3d. I guess when quadcore comes out everybody will be saying "its not much of a jump from the evo3d".

Ditto that!
I just grabbed a shinny new Free Evo 4G from Best Buy to keep as a back-up for my other Evo. I've tried a lot of ROMS but keep restoring old faithful, Myn's 2.2 with Net/SBC kernel. It absolutely rocks!! I tether 1.2 gigs/day (netflix junkie here) via Easytether.
I have no need to reinvent the wheel, have the "Latest & greatest," or keep up with the Joneses. My Evo is lightning-fast, silky-smooth and leaves the "Energizer Bunny" in the dust.
