@Tes: Sir, there is a war going on, so yes. Whether or not its necessary, juvenile, immature, etc, you will always have comments like this. That's how wars work.
Butthurt much? Just ignore it, like how we are told to ignore the tons of Apple posts.
@Everyone else
EVO EVO EVO!!! Can't wait for the Epic and even more 4G superphones!!! Me and my little bitty Hero will be watching from the sidelines until July when I can upgrade! Go Sprint!
@m3nphls Am I the only one that noticed they said it would be available for client initiated update tomorrow? Doesn't that mean we can initiate it on our end by checking for an update, but they won't push it until 8-2?
That much awesomeness compressed into such a tiny space of a phone is simply too dense. It will definitely punch a hole in the space-time continuum. The universe can't support such amazingness!
Yes and I'm also aware of complaints from us non iPhone users that Engadget would mention the iPhone in stories that had nothing to do with it...but now it seems it's us doing it in the comments. Why even mention iPhone?
When I rooted and installed 2.2 last week the custom ROM I used came with a new boot animation...a green Android peeing on an Apple logo. The ROM was perfect, fast, stable...2.2 was great. But having to see that animation every time I turned the phone on just screamed "Inferiority complex!!!" Took an hour to find the original HTC "quietly brilliant" boot animation to replace it.
lets stop bashing steve, android army. I mean so what that he cut in line for a liver. we got the superior tech now, eclair and froyo are brilliant, just need to get out there with our orgasmic phones to grab mindshare. switched my girlfriend off iphone to a vibrant, switched a girl at work to vibrant after she saw mine, one by one, baby. iPhone4 nerd wondered what the commotion was, showed him Terminator Salvation in 720p MKV being played back with hardware acceleration on my SAMOLED Vibrant, "damn" was all he had for me.
Also, Gingerbread will have a 6 month headstart on the next iOS, will do away with all these silly OEM ui overlays and bring the awesome. Android maybe be a speck in apple's rear view mirror, but its approaching at incredible speed.
Hey, every time we complained about the iPhone being mentioned, people would tell us that we could just skip over it or ignore it, and that the mere fact that we commented on the article meant that we were driving more traffic to that article. We literally couldn't win.
Now we have a defense against the constant iPhone overuse. Let's use it.
Secondly, that little animation you're talking about has been around a long time. I don't think I would enjoy having it on my phone every time I booted it up, but then again, it wouldn't matter that much to me. I tend not to stare at my phone as it's booting up; I'm doing other things.
I have had the exact same experience showing my Hero (A Hero of all things!) to my friends who own iPhones. They're impressed with the ease of use, and I'm seeing more and more people jumping on the Android bandwagon. Of course, I don't go around preaching to people about how awesome my phone is and how it's always going to be better than everyone else's.
I get your point, man. And I do think the comment was slightly immature. In fact, I'd rather not have the iPhone mentioned at all, but if it's going to be mentioned, let's use our defense.
In other news, I really wish I had waited another month for the EVO. Unfortunately, it was already past my return date and I couldn't take it back :(
Can't wait for the Epic, and whatever dual core awesomeness is in store!
@Tes I'm with you on this one. I find its happening in phases. At the moment I think there's definetly a peak forming in terms of a critical competition point and its evident that this shift in control as it were is going as smooth as tectonic plates. Voices on both sides of the fence are getting -extremely- loud.
@m3nphls Man you android fanboys are sooooo fucking annoying. There can't be a stupid article about anything phone-related without the same stupid, tired comments about the iphone and the antenna issue. Grow the fuck up, please.
@rmbrown09 Talking about sheep, look at you and your ignorance to how big the antenna issue is for Apple. As far as battery life, this update to 2.2 should help a lot. Do you really feel so inferior that you have to post your iPhone comments here on an article about the EVO? I'm guessing yes!
*Ahem, ahem* Hold on, everyone. I've been waiting to do this since the dawn of time.
You're obviously an Apple fanboy, so let me ask you: Why do you not just move on? Why do you feel the need to click into this article, comment on it, and drive more traffic towards this page, thus increasing the chances of more Android posts? And for the pièce de résistance: Just don't read it.
@Mike10010100 Not an apple fanboy at all. And I am genuinely interested in Android articles, just not the immature b.s. from silly fangirls like you. Seriously... your comment history speaks for itself. Oh and another thing... I really don't give a shit what a petty, self-important, arrogant little thing like you thinks of me. How's that?
@rmbrown09 Now now be a good boy..... run along and go measure your bar width and/or go create some new desktop folders.
We will all be enjoying flash content, 4G speeds, lightning fast apps on our low res screen while you get to admire your rubber encased jewel drop signal in an awesome resolution. Your envy is so evident
i have the evo and saw the vibrant in the store and the screen was awesome im also glad to see android owners love android regardless if its the vibrant evo droid x incredible or nexus one!!!
"Not an apple fanboy at all. And I am genuinely interested in Android articles, just not the immature b.s. from silly fangirls like you." Yep. That sounds like the standard line that people repeat after being stupidly told just to "not read something". Usually, the people would then say "Just don't read the comment."
Oh, and real mature with the fangirls comment. lol
"Seriously... your comment history speaks for itself." That I attack fanboys from all sides? Yeah, that's pretty much what I do, thanks!
"Oh and another thing... I really don't give a shit what a petty, self-important, arrogant little thing like you thinks of me. How's that?" U mad? It seems that reading this article has gotten your blood pressure pretty high. Perhaps you should take some time to breathe a little.
@Mike10010100 You're really funny but you live in your own little imagined world where people actually take this stuff seriously, except the only ones talking about "wars" and "mindshare" and "convincing people over to your side" are you and other fanboys like you. I'm actually happy for EVO owners because guess what... I don't care about this little "war" you and the other idiot are talking about. But go on pretending your not an android fanboy/apple hater. There's people who like Android who are cool about it and people who like Apple who are cool about it. People with low self esteem like you talk about "wars". And THAT is funny.
Hahaha! Your comment history is hilarious! What a bitter existence you have! You need to calm down a bit and realize that you created a user name on a tech blog in order to criticize "nerds" who you will likely never know in real life. If that isn't being a nerd yourself, I don't know what is.
Woohoo!!! Go HTC!!! Bringing Froyo to market in a timely manner even with Sense. And for all the Sense haters-you can turn it off so quit whining-HTC's delivering the Froyo goods.
@m3nphls Actually, I lose a few bars when completely covering the top half inch of the phone. I'll just have to avoid holding my EVO like I'm picking up a turd.
"You're really funny but you live in your own little imagined world where people actually take this stuff seriously, except the only ones talking about "wars" and "mindshare" and "convincing people over to your side" are you and other fanboys like you." I'm pretty certain that tech companies and blogs take this stuff seriously, as well as anyone who wishes to become part of the industry. Also, I prefer Android, but am not a fanboy. I will defend or attack whatever point is wrong with each OS.
"I'm actually happy for EVO owners because guess what... I don't care about this little "war" you and the other idiot are talking about." Says the person who decided to comment on this war, proving that you DO care about it. See how you can get trapped in that? It's best to just avoid it altogether if you really want to prove that you don't care. Also, your comment history has a trend towards "caring" about what other people are saying about the iPad (which you own) and the iPhone 4.
"But go on pretending your not an android fanboy/apple hater. There's people who like Android who are cool about it and people who like Apple who are cool about it. People with low self esteem like you talk about "wars". And THAT is funny."
I didn't bring up a "war". That was much earlier. Low self esteem? You mean like:
"Stock hater answer. Grow the F up."
"So funny to see all the Android fangirls having a total nerdgasm over this and high-ranking each other"
and my personal favorite: "Does your refrigerator have a glass front? No? Then STFU."
2.2 deliciousness! What makes this more awesome is that my company just gave us an ice cream social this afternoon lmaooo.. the reps must have knew froyo was coming for my phone!
In other news, I just jizzed in my pants lmao. Thank you China! Woooo
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.
Froyo + holding my phone any way I want it???? ha! beat that iphone 4!
@m3nphls
Really? Does there need to be a brainless slanging match on every mobile phone post?
Grow up.
@m3nphls
the gods of awesomeness have blessed the evo.
huuuuummmmmmmmmmmm
@m3nphls nah, I will rather practice safe iphone holding and use a rubber. Be safe.
@Tes: Sir, there is a war going on, so yes. Whether or not its necessary, juvenile, immature, etc, you will always have comments like this. That's how wars work.
@m3nphls OMFG!... Lets GO! (puts EVO on kick stand to admire it and show off to employees at the job)
@Tes
Butthurt much? Just ignore it, like how we are told to ignore the tons of Apple posts.
@Everyone else
EVO EVO EVO!!! Can't wait for the Epic and even more 4G superphones!!! Me and my little bitty Hero will be watching from the sidelines until July when I can upgrade! Go Sprint!
@Mike10010100
My main and ONLY mobile phone is an HTC Desire that I rooted and I'm running 2.2 now. I'm just not a rabid fanboy.
@m3nphls
Man, as if I needed another reason to love this phone. Amazing
@dswatson83
Long live the EVO!!!
@m3nphls Am I the only one that noticed they said it would be available for client initiated update tomorrow? Doesn't that mean we can initiate it on our end by checking for an update, but they won't push it until 8-2?
I hope so!
@Tes
Ah, then you know all too well about being told to just "ignore" articles and comments that we don't agree with.
EVO + Froyo = Cataclysmic Black-hole appearances across the USA
@geniusdog254 Yes, you are correct.
@Tes
Tes wasnt even trolling. The comments are becoming less funny and more childish.
@Plazmic Flame

@Mike10010100
Our defences against over-saturation of the iPhone is to mention the iPhone every opportunity we have no matter how tenuous the link?
Um...OK.
@m3nphls My iPhone makes calls just fine, thanks.
Next.
@Tes
I get your point, man. And I do think the comment was slightly immature. In fact, I'd rather not have the iPhone mentioned at all, but if it's going to be mentioned, let's use our defense.

@Tes
true.. just ignore others and enjoy your phone/os
@m3nphls what a joke.
I can hold my phone any way I want, it's folks like you that are uneducated in the subject and act like sheep that start wars.
Hey bro, hows that low res screen? Hows that low battery life?
I'd rather have a media blown up issue that really isn't one and a free case + a playboy phone than a no battery, low res, Android phone.
but hey that's my opinion.
@m3nphls Man you android fanboys are sooooo fucking annoying. There can't be a stupid article about anything phone-related without the same stupid, tired comments about the iphone and the antenna issue. Grow the fuck up, please.
@m3nphls
Froyo is a playboy blonde
IPhone4 is buckeye toothed Hooker
@rmbrown09
"Hey bro, hows that low res screen? Hows that low battery life?"
Lol. How's that smaller screen, signal issues, walled garden, abusive CEO, Apple tax and reality distortion field?
Eh, whatever. Trying to start a flame war? Won't happen. We're all too elated about 2.2 + EVO!
@m3nphls
iWin
@rmbrown09
Talking about sheep, look at you and your ignorance to how big the antenna issue is for Apple. As far as battery life, this update to 2.2 should help a lot.
Do you really feel so inferior that you have to post your iPhone comments here on an article about the EVO? I'm guessing yes!

Quit Whining or we won't let you on are hotspot when you have no signal.

our hotspot I mean.

In other words, STFU you hypocrite.
Woohoo!!! Go HTC!!! Bringing Froyo to market in a timely manner even with Sense.
And for all the Sense haters-you can turn it off so quit whining-HTC's delivering the Froyo goods.
@m3nphls Actually, I lose a few bars when completely covering the top half inch of the phone. I'll just have to avoid holding my EVO like I'm picking up a turd.
@Slimnutz
Again, genius, try reading. I don't own an Phone. I have my own hotspot on my FroYo running Desire. Keep up.
I didn't realise fanboiyism causes illiteracy, but it seems to make sense.
@Tes That's the rom maker's decision to include that particular bootanimation.
