- The glass separation issues are real, but said to be super minor and have no effect on the usability of the phone apart from a nearly imperceptible "give" to the touch. That said, HTC has made some assembly changes that should reduce or eliminate the problem going forward, and it'll keep an eye on the situation.
- This is really interesting: the screen sensitivity problems are also real and are apparently far more prevalent in arid climates, but it can be fixed with a software patch alone. That patch will be rolling out to EVOs soon.
@hated one
What are you smoking? What numbers are you comparing? Are You comparing 450min + 200MB plans + 200 txt to Sprints 450 DATA Everything?
If i were to get 4 EVOS it would be on a family plan 1500 min which is approx. 210.00 /month. If i were to do the same on ATT it would be approx. 10-20.00 more AND I WOULD RECEIVE LESS SERVICES THAN SPRINT. NO NAV, NO TV, NO VIDEO CHAT OVER 3G, AND NO ANY MOBILE.
You sir / mum are an idiot. Why would you buy an iphone and settle for the lowest plan possible. I tried that as well as coworkers and we always went over out txt and data. Sometime over our minutes.
What about the WiFi reception issues the EVO is widely documented to have? Is HTC responding to that?
I was definitely going to buy an EVO, but for now, have been scared off by the many reported build quality issues. Maybe my next Android phone will be another Motorola phone. My present phone is a Droid, and there were very very few build quality complaints about this phone, and I have had zero problems.
Now let's just hope they are willing to do free replacements for users whose phones have been devalued by this error.
Simple question, how long should I wait for the new batch of Evo's to hit store shelves, given they fix the problem. I want an Evo, but I just want to make sure I get a good one.
