Dariuas Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Gonna wait to see what Apple has to offer on Monday before deciding what my next purchase is going to be. I would be more motivated to get the EVO if I had 4G speeds in my area, but it may be a while before it comes, if ever (Los Angeles is planned for later this year but I'm in Orange County and there's no indication that it will be coming here anytime soon). Right now it's a toss up between the EVO, the HTC Incredible on Verizon, and either the fourth gen iPhone or the HTC Desire on AT&T. Rumor has it LA has 4G now, its still being tested and I will find out next week when I am at E3. A guy who got his EVO said hey let me try out 4G (As I am sure ALL EVO owners have) and bam 4G showed up in LA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 Thanks for the info on the Battery. I still have not bought it, but I had planned on getting one as soon as I received my Evo in the mail. Maybe I will just buy an external charger and a second OEM battery n just lug the extra battery around. Or maybe I wont.. my current phone Samsung Instinct the battery life is pretty crappy as well.. goes from full power to just about done in about 2hrs of internet/texting use. So I am used to horribad battery life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now that seems to be the wisest choice, I hear that the EVO uses the same battery as the Hero so this is a nice bundle that I hear alot are happy with. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270578672380 here's the actual thread discussing it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667571 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I was doing some browsing again today. I have been looking for new/more accessories for the Evo, cant find anything real cool yet. But anyways, I heard/read that some of the Evo's already have dead pixels.. Few users already are having these issues. So for you guys that do have one I would check the screens. I think one of the guys said just turn your background white, and see if you can see any pink dots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 there's an app called flashlight that puts the screen to white and max brightness. That'd be perfect for pixel scanning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariuas Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 That is true, I've thus far seen 2 with dead pixles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 In the EVO vs iPhone 4G debate: (as well as every other aspect of the phone being superior) I would be more willing to listen to what you have to say if you provided an actual argument instead of your typical nonsense.

bp9801 Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 lmao! Where is The Flash!! haha!! At least someone gets it. Kash, one advantage of having the EVO 4G or any Android phone is the tethering feature. I know the iPhone can do it, but if you were to connect your iPhone to your iPad and try to use tethering to get your iPad online.. you can't. The iPhone cannot tether something like the iPad while any Android phone can. In fact, at Google's I/O Conference, Google was showing the tethering ability of Android phones running 2.2 by connecting them to an iPad.

Kash Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I did more research and there has been no update since the original announcement. Let's hope it gets announced next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
