A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Ooooooh, sexy, daddy like.
@SaggyBalls Me like too. I CANT WAIT. Still don't know if I'm going to stick to my pre. Its pretty good, webOS is amazing, but the Evo is just a beast.
@SaggyBalls
Yeah....I want one with Flash support.
Then I can watch Hulu with 4G and HDMI output.(NYC will get 4G :)
@SaggyBalls
SEND IT TO EUROPE please!!!
@SaggyBalls
I know people are loving on this phone, and I'm not trying to hate on it, but wouldn't battery life be a huge issue? 4.3 inch screen, 3 cell radios, a Snapdragon processor...like amazing specs, but damn the battery won't last like 3 hours while people are actually using it.
That's my only gripe, otherwise it's like the mother of all phones, brings everything that everyone wants into one package.
@Teerim
In my experience with HD2, it would be ok(not great),
@Teerim
Also don't forget that you can change battery(some phone cannot)
@liquidmonkey
Yep, I NEED THAT DAMN THING! HTC - PLEEAASSEE...
@SaggyBalls
release date is June 19 according to retailer where I put down deposit. Phone will be $250 in contract. No pricing on tethering yet
@raiden8383
Yes, yes NYC will get 4G pretty damn soon.
*high five*
@SaggyBalls Now that ive seen the new 4th Gen iPhone Im definitely gonna get the Evo 4G
@Teerim
This phone also comes packed with a badass battery, a 1500mAh one. Considering most smartphones come with batteries that are around ~1200mAh, this should do just great.
@Natal I would kill for an EVO 4g, Andorid is beastly and has every app that i used on my iPhone while i had it. I just traded my iPhone for an HD2 and i can say that the screen on this thing is gonna blow peoples minds and if the battery is similar then people will be more than happy with their EVO's.
I realize yourw a fanboy just trying to start shit because the next iphone screen is gonna be so small and worthless and not too mention its ID is so behind the EVO and HD2, but not everyone is obsessed or even impressed at all with that iTrash you pray to, i know im not
@Natal
so you have BB, according to your market share theory ;)
@MegaJapan my 1230 on the HD2 holds up really well to me texting/ surfing the web/ listening to music/ checking emails ALL day, very glad i jumped off the iPhone ship and got the HD2 to tide me over until the HD3
@SaggyBalls
Alright, LETS DO THIS!
**Passes around HTC EVO 4Gs TO MEMBERS**
**BREAKS DOWN APPLE IPHONE 4GS DOOR**
**TIME TO DIEE SUCKAAA**
**EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN EVO 4G AND IPHONE 4G**
**EVO 4G WINS**
EVO 4G FTMFW YO!
/hilarious joke. lol
@Teerim Sprint will include 2 batteries if that's the case.
@Teerim
Most people didnt mind the HD2 battery and that thing is only 1250 mAh. The Evo will pack a 1500 mAh battery. I'm sure there will still be complains about it but you can always get either a car dock charger or an extra battery. Either way, this WILL BE MY NEXT PHONE!! EVO FTW!
@Natal
Is that why Android now has 46%(a majority) market share in the US?...You're only off by 43%, lol.
@jj91709 Sprint does not charge for tethering.
@Natal
F>U
lame..
@uHorndog
...FATALITY!
@liftedngifted1
android has 3% marketshare. its a joke.
@liquidmonkey
Wow, you don't hear that too often!
@Teerim That's what chargers are for! As long as battery life isn't unreasonably short, don't mind hving to plug in more often.
@Mitchell R -- "@SaggyBalls Me like too. I CANT WAIT. Still don't know if I'm going to stick to my pre. Its pretty good, webOS is amazing, but the Evo is just a beast."
My words exactly. Love webOS, and look forward to new devices with HP's piggybank. But for right now, the EVO is Real, and I'm getting it.
@Doctor Kwame Nkrumah
I wish? I guess my wishes came true... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-20003618-16.html
@raiden8383 You won't be watching Hulu on your phone. Content providers block anything that isn't a desktop browser. Anyway why would you use a $600 phone to watch Hulu on your TV? Use any cheap old computer hooked up with a video cable.
@Doctor Kwame Nkrumah
You wish it didn't.
@jj91709
Same as the iPhone HD release date lol
Too bad i'm getting the new iPhone :P
Which is always promising and delivers on very well battery life
@uHorndog
I'm sorry, but please just stop the dialog jokes.
Anyway, I just hope this gets XDA closer to making an Android port for the HD2.
@SteveyAyo
This is how I know you're lying: you claim you traded your iPhone for a Windows Mobile 6 phone. A blind man who couldn't operate a touch screen to save his life wouldn't have made a trade like that. I don't care how large the screen is, no one in their right mind trades an iPhone for WinMo. If you had said you traded it for a WebOS or Android device I'd be more inclined to believe you, but not WinMo 6.
Hell to the motherfucking yes!
@barkerja
THIS IS EVO MORE AMAZING THAN THE IPHONE 4G!
/see what I did? EVO 4G FTMFW!
Can't wait, going to get one the day it comes out. Upgrading from a blackberry pearl will be a HUGE HUGE upgrade. Fuck U.S. Cellular!!!
@TickLe MY eLMo
and MetroPCS

@namyboyz44
RELEASE IT IN CANADA... SPRINT (OR TELUS!)
!
@namyboyz44
June 19th, same as the new iPhone's expected release date
That's a 4.3" LCD last I read...but it's fucking gorgeous. Want, hard.
@fischju
lmao
Good day for android fanboys I guess...
@facethefire good day for everyone!
@facethefire
Good for all consumers, as long as companies like Google, HTC, and Sprint keep upping the ante companies like Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, etc. are pressured to design and sell better products.
@Broderbund
--Evo4G walks into a bar filled with phones--
Evo 4G: "Heyy Guys, Im new, and AWESOME!"
iPhone 4G: "HOLY SH----"
HTC HD2: "BROTHER!"
iPhone 4G: "Ahh, you look like you are low on battery, Evo 4G"
Evo 4G: "Nahh guy, I got a 1500Mhz battery"
iPhone 4G: "HAHA"
Evo 4G: "I know I know.. But atleast I have a fully maxed out spec sheet!"
iPhone 4G: "Well it doesnt matter any way... I have an App for that!"
--iPhone 4G bursts into flames and all is well again--
EVO looks awesome.
i tell ya if i wasn't still on my AT&T contract until god knows when i would dump my BlackBerry for this in a heartbeat. i'll probably end up singing my soul away to AT&T for a Dell Lightning when the day comes.
