[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Thanks Guys!

I read every post on this thread and I just want to say thanks guys for taking the time to read my post which was written very quickly as I was in a hurry to get out the door but I wanted to make sure I said something, just in case I didn’t get around to it later. And nope no offense taken by the first reply I was actually kind of laughing as I had posted and a min later there was that response. Just glad that I’m not hated here by all, for trying out an iPhone.

YES!!! You’re right! Nearly 24hrs with the iPhone and I can already tell that this is a device that can and will get boring rather quickly, as far as the OS goes. I can already tell that it would be only the apps that keep the iPhone interesting. I’m trying to tinker with the iPhone but it keeps rejecting me around nearly every corner. Hahaha! And I too want to be on the ground floor. I want to invest; my time (learning an OS and how to tweak it), and my cash in the platform I believe I will be using in years to come. Sure I have an eye on Windows Phone 7, but MS has screwed up by taking way too long. I’m tired of reading about what WP7 is gonna do when others are doing things right now.

Oh no worries at all! I was kind of laughing at the Spork comment because it was a min right after I posted. I too liked being the Evo guy in the room. In my area we have 1000% more than our share of brainless people and it sure does look like they all have iPhones.....

If I get another Evo I am counting on this! The screen raising was my biggest and only problem that I couldn't live with.

Even though at first (doesn't bother me any longer) I really wished the Evo was just a little thinner; I now love the Evo size AND design so much! I can put the Evo in my pants front pocket or even my shirt pocket. The size of the Evo just feels right to me and my hands. I have skinny fingers but I believe they are pretty long and I can hold the device with one hand and reach my thumb over the screen and connect with middle finger.

I read about people saying that the Evo and other devices like the HD2 are way too big. I have to wonder if these are teenage children who may be small with smaller hands. If I were 15 again, I might think the Evo was too big and the iPhone to be just the right size. Like I said, the Evo is a man’s phone (or a woman’s phone). Now having said all that, I think the Dell Streak looks too big. But it’s just a little bigger in than the Evo. So that made me realize that in the same way I think the Dell is a little too much, a lot of iPhone users (most likely children or adults with smaller build and hands), look at the Evo next to the iPhone pics and think just the same as I do about the Dell next to the Evo pics.

I really hope HTC will not only fix the small issues but also continue with an Evo II and III. The name Evo has the it factor and I would love to see it live on. As far as the 30fps, that was a downer but my Evo felt smooth to me and even though I tried the game NOVA, I couldn't get it to work but for me my smartphone is a business and lifestyle managment tool above all else and so it was performing in those regards just fine.

I agree with your math but I was just reffering to the up front cost of the phones and how it so very much seems like the tech blogs are out to use any angle they can to make the iPhone look better or at least as good in every department even when it's just not true. The up front cost of the phone (something that a lot of buyers consider to be important) is not the same for an Evo vs. 32GB iPhone even though these Apple loving blogs make it out to be. I've even read some blogs that lead people to believe that the Evo only has 1GB of storage memory, compared to the iPhone and its 32GB.

Thank you! Much appreciated! :D

Not sure what you’re referring to? If you’re talking about me, did I accidently type 3GS rather than SGS (Samsung Galaxy S)?
