[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
I’ve been on xda for years, mostly dealing with WinMo devices. I’ve also been on Brighthand and a few other forums for years too. This Evo forum, is by far, filled with the most unhappy and defense people I’ve dealt with online in a long while. I consider myself an adult, not because I’m in my late 20’s, rather because I treat people as I’d like to be treated and do so whether off or online.

If you walked into a store and heard the OP or anyone else talking about what he wrote here, would any of you walk up to him and start yelling and cursing at him/her and calling them idiot and baby while then proceeding to tell them to stop *****ing? Before you answer that, have yourself a tall glass of apathy with a dash of the new and improved If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say.

To anyone who is being attacked for posting comments about being upset about a defective Evo, please try to refrain from attacking back like the angry folks around here are doing. It’s pointless! You have a right to come here and post whatever is on your mind in regards to the Evo and your Evo experience.

Some of us purchased our Evo from RadioShack. For me personally, I went to RS because I did not preorder a phone and my local RS was able to sell me one on launch day. Buying from RS means you cannot exchange it elsewhere.

Along with buying from RS, some of us like the OP, bought the Evo with a NEW contract, porting are number in from another carrier. The only way to get a new Evo (or any phone) from Sprint directly, would be to return the defected one to RS, ending the contract and in the process, most likely kiss your number goodbye and then go to Sprint and start a new contract. You cannot just end a new contract and the turn around and start a new contract on the same carrier while being assured you’ll get your number back. Do the *****ers of the *****ers, not understand this small key issue when they say just go to Sprint and order a new phone?!

All of these comments calling the OP a baby amongst other things; how old are you people and are you folks just having a really bad week??? I’m willing to bet that you same folks have at some point or another done some of the exact same as what you call *****ing, at some point or another.

To the OP, if you are dead set on having another Evo, I would call an RS in your area and ONLY speak with a manager. You should not have any problem getting them to give you a new one even if that has to take place after your 30 days. But if you are still worried; ask for the managers email address and write, telling him your problem, along with dates and ask him to reply with his promise of service written to you. Furthermore you can ask for the number of your stores district manager and communicate all to them and they will look into it right away.

If I were you, my concern would be that you do get new a phone, it too then gives you more issues and then you’ll end up having to get a refurbished unit because that will take place after your 30 days.

You know what's really kinda silly is that the angry people are shooting at all of us complaining about the Evos we have. And they're doing so in the name of trying to make sure we don't make the Evo look bad, yet while they shoot off at us, they shoot themselves in the foot by being so unnecessary rude, which in turn does make the Evo along with Android and xda, all look bad.
