No, fucking, competition.

I'm beyond baffled that this is going to war with the Sammy and Samsung learned from their own stupidity doing the same dumb shit with their Nexus by offering the best storage options outta any smartphone with that S3.

I could write out a 10 page rant on how fucking stupid it is to just have 16GB on board a non-Apple phone who's the only ones who can get away with that shit.

...and have grown accustomed to it for the past year now to where I'm already past that. Anybody who already passed that point of onboard storage it's going to be a problem when the newest & greatest comes out with... half of that? As a fan of Google Music I'm all for the cloud, just not as my sole option past what I'm accustomed to when the cloud have it's obvious limitations.

Prolly the best designed looking phone to date. The screen looks so good it's like everything is floating on top of it. Super light and feels good. The sense skin is nice

other than that, not much difference.

but really i think the att one x uses hspa+ and lte, and i'm not sure if sprint evo has the hspa+. both have the same radios and i think wimax is out for the evo this time, lte only.

i heard there are differences in the camera and audio processing but don't know what they are. the main difference is in the design.

It's definitely a smooth phone and the display is nice. I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm still learning android so I couldn't give you an educated comparison compared to other phones. It's definitely worth the upgrade. Only complaints is the buttons on the phone are very concave so it's kinda hard to feel for the volume buttons and the lock button. I wish more develops would put buttons you have to reach for regularly on the side of the phone since ur naturally hold it on the sides instead having to reach up.

Storage really won't be an issue for me since I got the 25 gbs on dropbox for free.

In response to Reply # 14


          

wow, this phone is smooth. so thin, and what an incredible display! very high quality hardware.

i was a little turned off by the sense skin and thought it made the interface look too much like the old gingerbread sense in some ways.

but damn, the responsiveness on things like opening the play store or bringing up the camera was impressive.

i took about 8 pictures rapid-fire to see how it would respond and it didn't lag for any.

i was very close to buying it, but still have a week left on sprint and didn't want to bother with changing numbers around. but i was on vacation and now when i'm back home this week, best buy doesn't have any in stock.

i don't think the galaxy s3 is worth waiting for, this seems good enough for me if my local bb will carry it ($50 gc if i purchase from there).

be an issue with the 25 gbs ur getting...and HTC is staying up on updating any software issues. its the best high end android phone to go with right now.

and the design of this overall looks better than the s3

Beautiful display, design is prolly the best out there....but.....it has some fatal flaws....the battery life isnt good....if im doing light stuff (twitter, emailing, surfing web, a song here and there) the battery will drain from 100% to about 60% in about an hour & 1/2....did all i could: kill apps, turned screen on auto brightness....still no go...

the multitasking isnt good. the app-tray layout design on this phone is useless and cumbersome and doesnt really serve the purpose of being convenient...and with that, the huge deal breaker for me was that every app reloads itself when u go out of it and come back in. I was using my GPS the other day, had the place mapped out...got a text message and checked it...came back to the map and it reloaded itself and I lost my points....and had to key the location back in....who's ever design idea for this to "consume processor power" or whatever needs to be shot in the face and fired. thats a common sense move on the developers part...and for that im prolly returning this. still a beautiful phone tho. and no official bootloader for this phone is out...really dont care to do all of that anyway...i just want a good stock phone

or on my transformer prime with stock ics

so maybe it's htc version, their sense skin

it had some weird shit when i messed with it, like how it responded when i hit the app switch button, maybe they're doing something weird with closing or half closing apps

i'm gonna buy it as soon as i can find one at best buy and mess with it

sense offers some nice features like contact linking, but if it pulls some bullshit with the multitasking, i'd be fine with loading stock ics, very smooth and cohesive

whew. ok, time to cop.

Good news for you folks worried about multitasking. Maybe. The EVO doesn't appear to dump apps from memory as harshly as we've experienced on the AT&T HTC One X. That is, if you start typing something in one app, switch to another and then switch back, you should find things as you left them. We say "should" because it's not necessarily the same for every application.

I'm still under my 30 day warranty so if the S3 is coming out on the 18th as slated then I'm trading this in for that. They really shot themselves in the foot by hindering this phone with this multitasking/battery life "resolution" as they call it....bad move htc/att.... Waste of a good phone

i got this somewhere else

Try this:
1. Launch the stock notes app, compose a random note.
2. Tap the home button (or recent apps button), launch the camera app, take a few pictures.
3. Launch the email app, view an email.
(Optional: also go view a webpage in the browser app)
4. Switch back to the notes app.
What happens? Is it where you left off?

for about 30 seconds then after that it dumps the memory out to "preserve" space. So it'll reload everything and that's a huge problem for me. It does it with about everything I use. Say if I'm on a website and I'm entering some information and I have to answer a call... Go back to the Site and it'll erase all of my content.. Huge deal breaker for me
