Just looked at the Engadget first hands on video of the official release on the X... The screen transfers don't look as snappy as they did on the pre release preview, and they also have HDMI... So does that mean they'll get the same POS frame rate cap as us? Not sure how the official will hold up on video capture either... The EVO is pretty bad for video capture, even though it's just a phone, either do it better, or not at all really...
The X is quite a bit bigger in a bad way... IMHO, the EVO can be bigger still as long as it is 90% screen like it is now... The X has a lot of bezel and dead space... That's size I can do without... To me the EVO is no where near big... So size is a draw, but I would hate any more dead space (a la iphone)...
The resize-able widgets are a nice touch, though they look just plain and dull on the X...
No 4G support for X so if you have it, flaunt it... I still don't think it's a make or break deal tho...
The hardware button for camera on X seem to give picture takers trouble due to the slow shutter speeds, so that's to be seen in real world tests... My EVO picture taking experience is still on the fence as blurry pics are still prevalent...
Kickstand FTW!
Multitouch keyboard FTMFW! Swype maybe, but multitouch on X is so pwnx0rz... I can't type worth a damn on the EVO and I've tried a few different keyboards already including the IME mod... I type way too fast and keys don't get pressed on the EVO especially space bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!1 (average 30WPM 100% accuracy)
The 30FPS thing really didn't hit me until recently when I tried to run some other games outside of 3D Homerun Battle... It is just pathetically slow... I can tolerate 3D HRB only because I played it first on the iPhone3G and it was even slower... However, the biggest downside for me now is the keyboard and the 30FPS on the EVO... I think the X will be most advantageous to my eyes in that respect...
The capacitive buttons on the EVO sometimes gets annoying... You can too easily hit them by just holding the phone wrong... Not a huge detraction, but it is a concern... However I have ALL PRO about not having a trackpad / ball...
Still, if I have to choose a phone again, I'd probably still go with the EVO... The looks, the functions, the speed (outside of FPS) is amazing... Build quality on mine is ok... I am waiting for a light leak (into display not bottom) replacement, but I have no separation, grounding issues, tin can speaker, battery anywhere from 5 hours non stop to 16 hours with light use... (My light use is heavy from what I've been reading...)
