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

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

As much as I love my NS4G, I would be willing to trade it for a EVO in a few months, based on these things:
If there isnt any sort of update to address reception issues.
If the Photon's bootloader is locked
How many issues the 3D ends up having.
I obviously dont want to take a step back going to the EVO, but I really dont want to be stuck with a POS either. I have a sprint tower a few blocks from my house and have to have my airave plugged in for my phone to work in my house. Thats unacceptable. I was a little more ok with it a few weeks ago when I figured an update would be right around the corner. Every day that goes by makes me doubt that it is anything an update can fix. I really want the Photon, I love Moto devices. I had the Droid 2 and the Droid X and both were very solid phones with great radios and battery life. I expect more of the same from the Photon. But if its locked I dont think it will work for me. The 3D will be a buggy device for quite a while and I dont really want to deal with that, I just sold my Thunderbolt because of the issues it had.
I guess my point is to be patient, someone will want to make that trade eventually, maybe with some cash included also

A tree took my cable wire out yesterday. I had no internet, so no airave. Well, my NS4G was completely useless til they came and fixed the internet. I had to sit outside to use the phone. Wouldn't even send a text.
You sure you want this phone?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

I too have noticed slightly lower signal reception... however at work I would be stuck on 1x or no service on my EVO... with the NS4G I always have service, even if it's roaming.

Yea, don't get me wrong, I live in a basement apartment so every phone sucks down here. But I didn't have the airave til about a week before I got my NS4G and my Evo and epic both worked, the Evo better than the epic. NS4G won't work at all down here. I left for work this morning and got flooded with emails and text messages that weren't coming through because I had no service.

Samsung stratosphere

So I have a opportunity to use the stratosphere (temporarily) for a few weeks. I'm an Epic user. I got to say that this phone is the Epic done right. I like how the usb port is on the bottom of the phone which doesn't block the headphone jack with a L shaped charger. The phone is running Gingerbread stock. LTE definitely has better coverage in my area. The back piece is textured and feels good in your hands. It's definitely the Epic done right but it's late to the party. For $99 its not bad.

so my options would be data capiping with outrageous fees for 4g, or .25-.5 mbps (closer to .25 most of the time) download 3g where i live. man all of these service providers give us so many options its not even funny. either way you have to spread cheek and accept deeper ramming.

A coworker got two stratospheres for free on launch day at radio shack. Great phone for free! The battery looked different to me. Jealous watching him pull 13mbps down on LTE.

I love my Epic. And if I had to switch to Verizon, I would want this phone. At least until I could afford a nice, new, shiney phone with a bigger screen and no slide out keyboard. I'm getting so tired of the thickness of my phone for a keyboard I don't use.
I think it's kinda weird, though, that Verizon is getting this, considering I thought that the Epic is nearing it's EOL.

Charging Port broke/Going to the Galaxy Nexus.

I really appreaciate everyone here in the EVO4g thread. Today my EVO lost its charging port, pretty much feel off the motherboard, and will not charge or connect to the computer anymore. I will be going to the Galaxy Nexus come Sunday hopefully. I did the buy up program and will begetting an early upgrade with LTE baby. Will miss DECK, Ropodope, TommyT, MYN and Mik.

What persuaded you to go that route vs. the EVO LTE? I mean, Sense is way toned down with the new 4.0, and seems to not do much but enhance the experience. Just want to point out that I haven't ran a Sense ROM in about 6 months either, but the new version seems nice, and the hardware on the LTE is absolutely sick!
Anyway, I'm asking because I'm in the Nexus vs. EVO LTE vs. GSIII boat right now...

Go check the other evolte threads where scottspa quoted toastch from the twrp thread in the onex forum. HTC has forked up the unlock so badly you cannot flash firmware once unlocked, USB connection is unavailable in recovery mode so you can't flash the boot partition, system partition meaning without and exploit to gain s-off access to the bootloader the htcdev unlock is essentially useless for flashing roms/radios, any kind of p*img.zip, onlyway to flash any kind of upgrades currently is thru an ruu. HTC locking their bootloaders and giving a halfassed unlock method as some kind of joke/tease is why I currently will not purchase another HTC device. I'm not giving my money to a company who claims to support developers by giving them a halfcocked useless tool to unlock what shouldn't be locked in the firstplace. Samsung doesn't lock the bootloader they just implemented a flash count that triggers anytime you flash an unsecured kernel, its easily reset using a USB jig or if you're on ics an app called triangle away by chainfire. Rooting is as simple as running a prerooted firmware thru Odin/heimdall and Samsung is now releasing source prior to the ota and are dropping updates as quickly as they are stable. After I had a Samsung intercept as my first android device Samsung left a bad taste in my mouth and I went to the HTC evo, as if had several HTC winmo phones and liked them. Then I was given an ET4G sprints version of the sgs2 and realized how much of an improvement Samsung has made in the 2 years since I had my intercept. Now HTC goes and forks around with the monkey business of locking the bootloader then giving an unlock method thats about as useful as a broken key to your front door, so now you gotta spend alot of time and effort attempting to break in your own Backdoor with out damaging anything

As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.
