[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
You are truly showing your inability to comprehend some of the actual facts about this phone and perhaps any other phone outside of your beloved IPHONE. I have had the IPHONE's since the first introduction and every model since. I have given credit to Apple, their marketing campaigns and their controlled user experience. So I am not PRO Android or PRO Apple but I am about choice.

You come on here with your Apple bias and calling the kickstand and HDMI gimmicks. Apple has done a few things to control the UI which it has the right to but in turn has forced us all to use ITUNES. You mentioned 1GB of memory instead of the 16GB, 32GB or potential 64GB worth of storage space that Apple has. That same idea of control over how you can transfer media/content is the reason they do not use SD Cards which would allow for transfer of data from the phone to another phone or computer without the controlling factor of Itunes. So the 16GB, 32GB and perhaps 64GB is contained inside the one unit for control. Not because they are SMARTER than everyone else or have the most gifted engineers in the world. Being an IPHONE fanboy as you clearly have shown you should have known this.

This control has given Apple a very strong user base as well as consistent UI experience. Those who are wanting something different often times do not make the shift towards another phone due to the tie in they have had with Apple and Itunes. The old saying of if it ain't broke don't fix it applies here. If you are not a tech junkie like many of us are on these forums then why would you just throw out something you know and have to relearn something different? That is just life. Brand loyalty is strong.

Take away the APP store on both fronts of Apple and Android as well as the hardware build and judge the OS from that viewpoint only. Then tell me where the APPLE OS really stands out.

The APP store is the "KILLER" feature that will make the IPHONE hard to take down. It is years ahead of its competition and will remain that way for a while. That is one of the main reasons why Android or WP7 can't create an Iphone "KILLER". It's not the hardware or the OS it is the APP store that keeps the IPHONE from worrying. The new equipment from Dell, HTC and others will be as good if not better than the IPHONE. Currently the EVO beats the Iphone 3GS hands down and will be on par or better with the new IPHONE 4(x). Screen resolution isn't the only thing that makes it better.

What has always killed the 3GS for me as well as all others models before it was the inability to carry an extra battery around. Say what you want to say about the battery life - it isn't what they tell me it is. I get 4-5 hours max with 3G on and doing my normal things and reading emails. Put on Navigation and call it a day within 2-3 hours. I am not saying the EVO 4G is much better but I can carry a battery around and not have to scramble to my car charger. In fact that I have 3 batteries and a wall charger.

Replacing the battery won't cost me $79.00 + $6.95 shipping like for APPLE. It cost me $6 bucks each. A wall charger cost me $10.99 which included an extra 1500mAH battery thanks for the hard working people of Taiwan :)

I have an 8MP back camera with some very nice controls. The new IPHONE 4(x) will perhaps be 5MP. We will see how it compares. I am an advanced amateur photographer so I understand all about MP's and its not always about MP's.

I could go on if you really want to compare..Most of us on here can shoot holes in your BIAS.

It's not the point of these forums. We like technology just as much as the next person but we also like to share ideas and create a newer "better" experience through collaborative efforts.

Return your EVO 4G if you really have one and wait for the hand of JOBs to come down and stroke you one more time. I myself will continue on enjoying my EVO 4G and Droid Incredible for now. I guess I got a little tired of Steve Jobs not giving me a courtesy reach around.
