The Evo 4G may be expensive, but the price comes with all the comforts of the gadget. I love the 8 megapixel rear camera it provides. It’s stronger than my DSLR that only has 6. I’d want to have this phone someday soon. I just need to sort out my current expenses because it’s clearly killing my savings.

I was wondering how you were able to make the battery last so long! Are you using apps that like Task Killer or something? Just curious :]

I’ve had mine for about a month now. I absolutely love it. I did find out how to make the battery life last longer. I now can make the battery last approx. 36 hrs depending on use. The camera is awesome, the features are even better. The only thing that I don’t like on it is that you have to have head phones to play the FM radio and they don’t supply the head phones. I also don’t like that you can’t remove the pre-existing apps that are on there when the phone is purchased. Other then that I’m glad that I switched over and got this phone

I got mine at 8am this morning at the local sprint store and I love it. The call quality is better, the service strength is stronger and it works perfectly. I am surprised by how impressive this thing is. I sit at a desk all day so I can plug it in and negate any battery issues. So far so good.

The evo will do everything with or without the WIMAX, except 4g, of course. You will have complete access to the web, etc. WiFi will only make it a little faster.

i checked on the sprint coverages map and the WIMAX COVERAGE for the htc evo. I’m currently in and area that will soon have WIMAX clear coverage. will i still be able to go online and surf the web if my WIMAX service isn’t available or would i have to be in a wifi area or WIMAX area in order to use the internet and surf the web.

The performance of which might be enhanced by 4G velocity, utility developers will probably be introducing new apps that make the most of 4G energy in new methods – games and communications tools and different apps that carry collectively video, presence and placement concurrently, and capabilities that haven’t but been imagined..

Major problem with EVO the phone is not a hands free unit. Android 2.1 does not support hands free use with a bluetooth. You can answer a call, speak and end a call using your bluetooth, but you can not have the phone make a call for you thru your bluetooth. You must physically hold the phone in close proximity to your mouth, access voice dial then speak the name or number into the phone. Every phone I have had in the past has had this capabilty, had I known the EVO lacked this very basic function I surely would not have purchased it. They say an upcoming Android 2.2 upgrade will remedy this flaw, but no one can give a date when the 2.2 upgrade will be available for the EVO. The Nexux phone by google uses the Android 2.2 OS and fully supports bluetooth capabilities. SPRINT needs to get off their ass and make this available NOW

If your looking for a business phone on the Sprint network I would look into the HTC Touch Pro 2. Its a phone made for business.

So no previewer of the Evo has looked into the capacity of the address book/contacts? We need to get Exchange emails and contacts sync’d. Blackberry & Exchange is out of the question. iPhone AT&T isnt available here, so…. we’re looking for a business phone, we need to handle a contact list of over 1000. sigh.

I have had clear 4g service and it works vey well. After a users initial bout of enthusiasm 4g use will only be a small fraction of the total. Wi-fi can be switched on instead. A better way to approach this issue would be to compare the battery usage to the iPhone and other top smartphones instead of joining the parade of reveiwers following Mr. Mossbergs example.
Sprint says that the extra $10 is for the increased data usage expected, not the 4g connectivity. Also, the plan with the $10 is still cheaper than almost all the competition. I have seen many people claiming similar pricing plans while ignoring that those plans do not include unlimited data, or charges for GPS navigation or other things included with Sprint like unlimited text messenging.
Cameras should only be compared to other smartphones as only a fool would expect an included camera in a $450 phone to compare to a dedicated camera with a much larger lens.

Thanks for the question. My name is Kenji and I’m with TeleNav. With Sprint’s Everything Plans you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription for Sprint Navigation. :) If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at kenjio@telenav.com. Cheers.

This thing is going to rock even if you only get 3G. 4G will be nice if/when it comes to my town, but I really don’t care. WiFi at home and work, 3G everywhere else I go. 4G in some places. Service plans $40 less then iphone and VZ options. All around awesomeness.

We are considering this for a business phone but I can’t find anywhere the capacity of the contact/address book. Our current Sasung Instinct maxes out at 600 entries. My itouch hcndles our needs but there is no ATT signal here so we can;t use the iPhone.

I thought the TeleNav navigation thing was free with Sprint? I’m probably mistaken but their “everything” plans mention “unlimited maps and turn-by-turn directions”, or is that separate and you still need the Telenav monthly subscription? If so, Sprint makes it kind of misleading in their plan specs! Still, if Google navigation works, at least the phone has that. Nice review, by the way.
