You do know another "better" android phone will be announced before august... And it will make the evo look like, dare I say, the g1.

Well, there are more casual people than geeks. People who know a thing or two about technology and are seeking to buy a top notch phone buy the Evo 4g over the other brand as of June 4th.

However, it's a clever strategic move by Sprint. They won't have to invest heavily in building up a completely new network and at the same time make everybody believe they have "4G". In the longer run this proprietary solution will loose to LTE and even HSPA+ when AT&T and T-Mo ups their capacity...and you will be stuck with your beautiful EVO Brick! ]]>Jun 7th 2010 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/

Actually I pay $70/m 4g included plus extra 50min/m from Justin who I think work for Sprint. The only downside is you have to do rebate yourself and wait for 2 days shipping. But the $240 saving and +50min/m worth the wait.

I'm really disappointed with some of the dinky batteries HTC is using in their smartphones. I realize they want to make them swappable, but iPhone is cramming in a 1700 mAH battery into a tiny little form factor and this beast only gets a 1500 mAH? Hell, the Droid Incredible comes with a puny 1300 mAH battery and there are after-market batteries that fit in the *same* slot and deliver 1750 mAh.

I feel like they're just cheapskating the batteries cause they know it brings up manufacturing costs and doesn't necessarily increase the price they can charge for it.]]>Jun 7th 2010 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/
Precisely the reason I won't even bother with an iPhone. I plan to have a dock (when they come out) for home, work, and car. As well as at least another battery. Given all the technical capabilities of the EVO, and given the slow advancement of battery technology, I think it just a fact of life that as phones get more advanced, we'll have to be more careful of how we deal with batteries, and opportunities to charge. Apples insistence on eschewing removable batteries, flies in the face of technical reality. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/Jun 7th 2010 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/Jun 7th 2010 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/Jun 7th 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/
I do agree with you that they could make the devices a little bigger and get a bigger battery in there. Seidio sells a 1750 at the same size as the EVO's 1500. I'd pay an extra $15-20 for the device if it had something like that.

So far, the 1500mah battery on my EVO appears to be doing the trick. It's definitely better than the absolutely ridiculous 1100 mah battery in the pre. I couldn't even get through a work day with that damn thing.

The battery is amazing, even on 4G. I went to a concert and recorded about 20 minutes of video, took about 150 pictures, uploaded about 20 of them to Flickr (full res, about 2M per pic) sync'd the rest with Picasa and used the Navigation (with GPS) to get to the after party. Another 100 or so pics and about 10 min of more video, plus a few youtube videos and extensive pic viewing with brightness at max (plus friends playing with my phone at the bar all night!) and I still got home with the battery just hitting Yellow (which I believe means 30% is left).
(Plus some calls, texts, and what not)

All in all about 8ish hours of pretty heavy almost continual usage. The phone had 95% charge when I took it off the charger that morning.

I do get great 4G coverage though.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://batteryboss.org/]]>Jun 8th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/Jun 7th 2010 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/Jun 7th 2010 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/htc-evo-4g-overtakes-palm-pre-for-best-selling-launch-day-on-spr/
