[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BlueGoldAce:
It doesn't work at all with odin. You have to have a windows PC or windows running on your mac. I had a problem with a GNEX and had to find a windows pc (one I had buried in storage that barely works) in order to fix that phone. Real pay.

Honestly using a mac for fastboot commands is real easy, but and .exe root, program (like odin), etc will not work on a mac.

That being said...here is what I base my opinion on. I have owed the following phones in the following order. OG Evo-> Evo 3d (disappointment) -> epic 4g touch (cool phone, horrible radios, etc) -> iphone 4s (7 months...great phone honestly, but iOS really got on my nerves) -> GNEX (great stock experience...but the screen and horrible battery life resulted in me re-selling it two weeks later) -> Evo LTE

The epic 4g touch was fast...and I gave it to my fiancee because it she loved the screen, and I got the iphone 4s. Well, the epic always gave us radio/cell signal problems. Sprint even credited my account $50 for it once and promised a fix. That fix never came. About a month back my fiancee was in a bad accident and could not call out to 911 due to no signal bug in the phone. I was pissed...and sprint gave her an upgrade, free of charge and a year and a half early, as a result. She is getting the Evo Lte as well...as soon as wirefly gets it to here. The GS3 may not have this problem...but it is a samsung and they often do, but I am not trying to bash it. I know my fiancee refuses to own a samsung now. I would never go that far....

But the Evo 4g LTE is hands down the best phone I have EVER owned. Better than the epic 4g touch, and it blows away the iphone 4s (which was better than the epic tough in my opinion). The screen is amazing, the radio (signal and 3g speeds) are great. The camera is fantastic (I did my own indepth experiment with the iphone 4s and evo lte..and the evo lte beat the iphone in every category including the camera). The battery life best my iphone 4s, and is what android has need for a long time. This phone has a few minor software bugs, but these will no doubt be fixed. Plus, if you are into roms, etc...this phone will not fail you. Some of the best devs I have ever seen are migrating here...plus the evo community is moving this way. The evo community is a shining example of what you want in a developer community for a phone. What is even better is this...you don't even need to root this phone unless you want to. It is the complete package out of the box.

I made the mistake of buying the galaxy nexus off ebay...and the screen and even more so the battery life made it unsuitable for my needs. Therefore I sold it (recouping the money) and sold the iphone 4s (shipped it today)...and still payed about full upgrade cost for this phone (got it off ebay for 550). I am not one to spend my money like that...I am rather tight (ask my fiancee)...but this was well work the cost. Is the Evo LTE $200 better than the iphone 4s? If you want a simple, iconic phone...then no. But the ability's of android combined with the screen size and quality alone made the Evo LTE worth the cost and more.

I say go get this phone. If you wait for the GS3...it will be great too...but no better than this phone. Plus, there is always something better around the corner. If there is a big advantage IOS has over android, it is the yearly refresh. Eliminates buyer remorse, etc.
