Say to hell away with 4G and make it GSM.

I'd like 4G, but if I have to choose between EVO without 4G or no EVO at all, I'll take EVO without 4G.

And remove the 30fps cap. I don't know what's the problem (I haven't cared enough to look since I can't get one anyway) but I'd like more FPS.

Give it the SoC in the Galaxy S as well as its S-AMOLED.

Change the back so it doesn't rest on the camera lens. Seriously in 2010 manufacturers still don't get the fact that you HAVE to recess the lens?

Let me add or remove homescreens like you can on the Dell Streak.

Easier to access MicroSD card.

Optical trackball.

Seriously, just give me a GSM version and I'll still buy it.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/
Resolution. I would increase the pixels per inch so that the pixels aren't visible and the display is crisp. Probably that would give it an a 720p resolution.

You must have some super freak eyes because it's pretty much impossible to see it's pixels. For example, with my glasses on, I can still see what the small font says when it's showing all 7 screens at once.

Battery life - that's something that needs to be changed.]]>Jul 24th 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/

Sense makes the phone feel more user friendly and sleek, which I always got to be sleek, but HTC needs to update quicker which is why I would be willing to get rid of sense for updates to be 3-4 months quicker. Other than faster updates, I would love to have better battery life but I believe that is more of how efficiently the software runs.]]>Jul 24th 2010 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/

TouchPro2 Keyboard PLEASE I need 1GHz and that keyboard on android.
Since this will be for a future phone, obviously gingerbread, mise well make that a 1.5GHz processor, actual 720p recording, higher res screen to match the iPhone4. Super AMOLED screen would be nice. Fix bluetooth HTC.. Sense messes with BT devices such as the Wiimote.

What is already perfect
battery life (i get about 50hrs each charge)
kickstand
dual flash
sense speed

probably more but im tired...]]>Jul 24th 2010 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/how-would-you-change-htcs-evo-4g/

For an out of box experience, HTC needs to incorporate the on-demand function of setCPU (downclocks the processor when not in use, huge battery saver) and remove the FPS cap.

The main reason I rooted my phone was to remove the cap after seeing how smooth the HTC Aria was. Now my Evo runs at 55 FPS with hdmi working, difference is night and.day.SetCPU is just icing on the cake. Everything else is stock (yes, I like Sense UI).

P.s. no experience rooting a phone ever (this is my first smartphone) and it was pretty easy to do. Those guys at xda have this stuff figured out pretty good.
