I was over at my Mom's the other night and was talking to her husband about my phone (He's an apple fanboy). I think I convinced him that the Iphone was a piece of $4!t.
I told him that my phone will do 3 things that the Iphone will have trouble with. First I made a call while holding the phone in my left hand. Second I pulled out the battery and finally I pulled out the SD card.
I thought it was kinda funny, so I thought I'd share...

While yes, it's a video of the Desire HD.... it's pretty much the same phone as the EVO but with all the crazy new sense features that are ALSO coming to the EVO. That video blew me away. Some of those features are priceless.

I came over from a 3GS as well, and I might not have, if it wasn't for the iOS4 update. My 3GS was jailbroken, and set up really well, but I'm a big cycling fan (loved seeing HTC-Columbia featured in that Desire video, even if I did have to watch that tool Cavendish win...like I don't have to see that enough already), and the Tour de France app was crashing on 3.1.1, so I had to "upgrade". Even after jailbreaking iOS4, it was just never the same. Except for the camera and display, my 3GS would have handed the new iPhone its ass, in terms of functionality.
That said, I'm a longtime linux geek, and I did want an android phone, plus the school I go to, their website is in flash, and I do homework through it sometimes...very doable on the Evo, impossible on the iPhone.
Oh, and now I get through phone conversations without losing the call.
Did u also show him your bad battery performance, Weak 4g coverage inside buildings, or crappy market? The envo is great, but all phones have problems, people need to stop tryingn to convince other people and just enjoy their phones.

Welcome to technology.
With all N1 alternative threads, I'm surprised I haven't seen the synapse phone mentioned more, so I thought I would start a thread
I am quite heavily considering it. Tho I think I wanna wait for series 2, just to make sure custom rom community is there. Being rooted and unlocked bootloader from factory. But I think I should buy one to ensure there is a series 2
So who else is considering one of these synapse phones? To maybe replace their N1

Man that seems like such a good idea....
The first day someone posted about it on gizmodo or something, I went and looked at the prices. I "built" a phone using all of components that would put it above similar phones spec wise, it was going to cost about $900 USD.
Considering I spent my entire summer savings on my Nexus One ($580 + ~$20 for screen protectors, case, etc = $600) It's not necessarily a good or bad value. If I had that type of expendable income, I would totally go for it!
The concept is cool though - make a phone that caters to your needs. I wish an American company would try this! Maybe Google? "Nexus 2 - Have It YOUR WAY!"

hahahahahaa. Somehow, equating a $500+ phone to fast food just doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. lol
It's an interesting idea - I won't be in the market for a new phone until September 2011 so will keep an eye on them until then. That should be enough time for them to succeed / fail.
I like the idea of a 3 year warranty..
sounds like a good idea, but they are being jackasses, 256mb of ram as the basic mode want more ram? well pay up, which is just plain 2008 or wifi, 3.5mm as options when these are basic necessities for a smartphone.
Seems more like a dream idea than an actual production device

Alright I'm bumping this thread up just to show everyone there's a better alternative to the Nexus S.
And the website is pretty much working for me now. Though there's no option for me to preorder yet, but I'm more excited about this than the other phone.

I'll see how it gets when they start actually selling the phones...it's an awesome idea honestly, I just hope they succeed! Go germans go
3 years warranty? Amazing if true. That alone is worth it! And finally a xenon flash for an android phone.

Yes it does sound interesting. I would be disappointed also if this were to be the device. Just not into any type of tablet, "industry first" or whatever. Not to mention I can't stand anything with any type of hinge to it. Just something else to be problematic and break. I want dual cores, not screens.

If it was done right a 4.x" phone that converts to an 8.x" tab would be cool but I don't see "them"coming up with a good enough solution for coupling them to work as one big screen. If it feels like using a Nintendo DS then I won't be parting with an upgrade for it.
omg, dual screen tablet! hell yeah!
you might not think it would be cool at first but think of the possibilities!
run an app on one screen and browse on another, or be typing out something on one and using the second to show reference material, or have one be the screen and other be a touch keyboard, dungeon defenders on one and IM on the other,
best reason -> xda on one and the other be waiting on that f#@&in 1 min timer for the download websites
aosp on one screen, sense on the other

Dual-Screen Android Tablet Sprint’s “Big Announcement” for February 7th?
7 Comments 18 January 2011 by Dylan Bailey
Worth Reading?
+3 [3 votes]
Just last week Sprint sent out an email to the press inviting them to a special event where they will release an “Industry First.” The internet went crazy with rumors as to exactly what this industry first could be. Was it a 4G iPhone? Probably not, all Android sites were invited to the event. Now we may have a little bit more information as to exactly what it could be – a dual-screen Android tablet.
According to someone apparently close to the matter, the announcement will be a device and will feature the following:
It has large screens- think somewhere between the Evo and the Galaxy Tab.
It actually has dual screens- there’s a primary one but then also a secondary screen that flips up from the back, like on a hinge.
No word on what that second screen does, if it integrates with the primary screen to give you one big screen, or if you can run an app on each, or what. Sorry I couldn’t get more details.
No official word on if it’s voice-capable, or if it’s some kind of tablet/slate.
Also of note, HTC has been in the headlines supposedly preparing a 3D device. Could this be the device? Two screens for a 3D effect? If so, this would even tie in with the whole David Blaine theme of illusions, eye tricks, etc.
What do you think? Could this be a dual-screen tablet? Would a dual-screen tablet be a viable option in the competitive market? Let us know!

Well, this could be good news. If it is a dual screen, it could also mean that its dual core?
Hopefully its marketed as a phone, and not a tablet (has calling, texting, etc..)
Ok, so apparently no one else thought to show that this is NOT an industry first:
Dualbook anyone?

That thing is e-ink, its not running Android, and finally is not a phone (I'm wishing here ).
Toshiba and Acer showed off dual screen devices at CES. Neither of them were classified as a tablet (both classified as dual screen laptops) , neither of them run Android, and neither of them have phone capabilities.
I've always dreamed of a phone that folded open (clamshell) with a continuous screen (using flexible AMOLED display) but we are a long way from that.
Ugh, not sure what to make of that. Will wait and hold off the hate until I hear more. Provided it's true.
I'm scared.

Actually, the dualbook does in fact run android.
I Just bought this phone for 169 euro. I Thought good value for money, Android, Capacitive screen, nice design.....good!
Here we go:
1) Creak cover
2) Virtual NO sunlight legibility.
3) Fake HVGA it's actually a 320x200
4) Unresponsive touchscreen (really irritating keyboard)
5) Crappy gsm reception.
6) Incoming call lockscreen is buggy (Eclair)
7) Hilarious camera performance
8) 168 RAM (256 claimed)
When i've found that skype for android can't send sms i smashed the phone to the ground, there was pieces everywhere, i walked on 'em, i spit on it.
Tomorrow i will buy a nokia 1280!
Goodbye forever.
For me is a good phone,, love it, i buy this becouse galaxy 5 dont like to me, its to ugly XD.
Both phones are good, but x8 is better, ratch makes it the best phone i ever had.
Sorry for my poor english
