I hope this doesnt happen to the iPhone 4, I think the plastic surrounding the glass (not talking about the stainless steel rim) looks weak and it looks like if it is dropped very delicately the blass may pop out]]>Jun 18th 2010 10:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Jun 18th 2010 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/
Well when your iphone gets a 4G connection, 4.3" screen, and an 8mp camera maybe it will be able to compete with the Evo. Heck the device is struggling to catch up with android in general, imagine when the Evo gets froyo?! Ha your iphone will truly be a POS when that happens in July =]]]>Jun 18th 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Let's face it. If you drop just about anything, it's gonna have some kind of mark. I've never dropped my 3Gs in 7 months and I don't plan on dropping my iPhone 4. In the even that I do, I'm probably gonna splurge on the rediculously expensive bumper, but without a case? It's apple guys.

Average consumer has no idea about 4G. Ask my parents and just about EVERY single one of my friends. No one knows about the evo! I'm not saying that's the phones fault.

That's something you have to accept. ]]>Jun 18th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/
* 4G - Fine if you are in the US. Completely irrelevant if you are not.
* 4.3 inch - And my laptop has a 17inch screen. I and many other don't want a bigger phone. This isn't the 90's.
* 8mp - Completely irrelevant. The sensor quality is much, much more important than number of megapixels.]]>Jun 18th 2010 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/
Huh? Doesn't get me wrong, I love my iPhone. But the one currently in my hand is the 6th one I've owned in 3yrs (owned a 2G when they first came out, only to be replaced once do to personal/ upgrade reasons. Their iPhone build quality isn't what you make it out to be.
As for the dude that wants to compare the Evo 4G to any iPhone, STFU. Seriously. One phone is for the masses, one is for bleeding edge phone geeks. Which phone is best is 100% personal preference so stop arguing now.
As for the original poster, what's up with your comment? Trying to be 'first' with whatever filtered through your brain coherently? Greatest news ever since the announcement.... makes me think you figured HTC planned for it to go wrong before it hit the shelves and this announcement is "proof" they are a consumer orientated company who's objective is to make the consumer happy. If that's your belief, you're no smarter than an "Apple fanboy". They are out to make their investors happy and that's the bottom line.]]>Jun 18th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Well put! That's exactly right! I like the giant screen, but I prefer my iPhones. It's perfect.

agreed. this is great news. in fact, after reading the engadget article about the screen sensitivity issue, I tried it out on my Evo and sadly it had this problem. I thought it was a hardware problem since the video engadget showed said their "replacement" droid incredibles had the same problem. I assumed my Evo then had a hardware defect. It's a minor issue since it only occurs when I'm not holding the Evo which is rarely.

So I went to a local sprint corporate store here in Boston and put in a work order to get a new Evo to replace my defunct one. Only problem was that other people already had orders in and hadn't received their Evos yet. I became #27 on the list(!) to get my Evo replaced which Bob said should be sometime next week. Thanks Bob!

Hopefully HTC gets this rolled out within a week and I can test out the software upgrade to see if this really "fixes" the problem. It'll save me having to re-setup my phone, although there are some decent backup apps on the android market.

Get this out now HTC! I'm waiting for it!]]>Jun 18th 2010 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Jun 18th 2010 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/

I'm happy for the Evo 4G. Atleast HTC responds by saying they'll look into things rather than keep mum about it (Apple, AT&T and security issues). The ground issues can be resolved by a software update? That I have to see. The only thing why I haven't really considerd evo to be on top of my next phone list is that my current phone already drains when I switch the 3G on (which still gets me through the day without charging) but I want it to last a little longer such that when I wake up, my phone is still barely on standby (that I get from switching the 3G off). Now, I don't want to have a major feature which I should turn off just to get me running through the whole day (which I don't necessarily need by the way). But that's just me. I hope they also resolve the framerate issues which is no biggie but could make itself better.]]>Jun 18th 2010 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/The EVO is for the phone geeks? Don't make me laugh. It is just another product cranked out of HTC's design department that will be quickly abandoned for a new model.
Please, stop flattering yourself.]]>Jun 18th 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Jun 18th 2010 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/
so your saying you would rather have a camera with less mega pixels? That just sounds dumb to me. And the Evo is not actually that much bigger than the iPhone yeah? Its just HTC decided to use the whole front of the device istead of leaving two "irrelevant" huge black bands on the top and bottom....]]>Jun 18th 2010 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/
i'm not talking about the average consumer. I live in Boston, and 4G is great for me. Thats why i got this and not the iphone. I never mentioned why other people would get this phone. Just me.

You think because apple gets some publicity from tech nerd sites like engadget and Cnet is why it is so much popular?

Go back to college and take a marketing class. They get their product out to the masses because it appeals to the masses. They have commercials that appeal to everyone. They changed the smartphone world from just being business people with email devices to making it appealing to every one from business people to bus drivers and 5 year olds to 95 years olds. That is why it sells so much better than every other phone on the market.

Every first year business major in the world could tell you that it is not about having the best product, it is about making that product appeal to the majority!]]>Jun 19th 2010 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Jun 19th 2010 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/Jun 19th 2010 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/htc-has-fix-in-the-works-for-evo-4g-screen-sensitivity-separati/No wonder you got down-ranked into oblivion.
