Evo Sprint Advocate chosen at my local Sprint store

[LatinP]

onboard memory for apps issues will soon be a thing of the past.

Android support for memory card app storage is finally 'coming soon' -- Engadget

App2SD is already a reality, it just hasn't been officially released.

From what I've read, the Incredible has 8gb internal storage AND a slot for a microSD that's upgradable to 16gb

Droid Incredible by HTC| Mobile Phones | Verizon Wireless

According to the website, it says 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM


It seems to me like people are still confusing internal storage with ROM. They're not the same thing. The EVO spec sheets have indicated 1GB ROM and 512 RAM, but that has no indication of what the internal storage is.

yeah, it comes with a microsd SLOT, but doesn't come with a microsd memory card for that slot. some people were getting a 2gb card as a introductory special or something, but the majority won't get a card. so you have to go and spend more money if you want a card for your phone.

Only the orders that were mistakenly shipped early didn't get the card.

I got mine on the 29th and it came with it.

Doesn't matter. The point I was making is that it has both the microSD slot and the internal storage.

It troubles me that the EVO may not have both. It just wouldn't make sense w/ the HDMI out, you figure they'd want to provide a customer as much storage as possible, which would mean just as much as the Incredible (at minimum).

Well, we'll see the real stats when it's released.

Shoot the evo will have way more memory than the pre and even bigger than the pre. OH and FLASH. I am so excited about the evo.

i'll give you this point. that makes alot of sense. maybe ajac, in hurrying up trying to utilize his 5 mins wisely, read the phone data wrong, or just simply missed it. because all other leaks have said it will have onboard memory. especially when the same company is making the phone with alot of similarities. that would be a big thing to leave out, unless the EVO is included with a 16gig card ala the droid.

 

[fabulas]

Yep they have an advocate phone for the EVO

it has 1 gig but comes with an 8gb sand disk micro sd card doesnt need onboard memory when it has that.

I don't see why not. IF you had 8gig onboard and an 8, 16, or 32GB card of your own, it's still more space...

 

[ajac09]

maybe sprint wanted to save costs some how? I bet when you buy one they will ask if you want a bigger sd card they happen to have in stock and if your a premier customer you get it at 20% off

is that for rooted or non-rooted phones?

 

[LatinP]

Doesn't matter if the device is rooted or not, but be warned some partitioning is involved not for the weak at heart.

 

[dcdttu]

Oh, and btw, when I started the thread, I just said that the Advocate had been chosen, not that they had received the Evo in their hands. Something tells me that won't happen until around that launch party or whatever next week.

Anyone out there, other than ajac09, see one in person? Ajac09, was it an actual Advocate phone you saw, or a display phone?

Ajac got himself banned - you'll have to find him elsewhere if you want to substantiate his story.

LOL well banning usually means I don't need substantiation. He also said the keyboard was a little odd getting used to.... Um, it's got the largest screen of any Android phone so far. I would think the keyboard would be no problem for anyone used to Android. If it is an issue, get Smart Keyboard. Best few bucks I've ever spent.

The width of the Evo screen in portrait will almost be same as the width of the entire Sprint HTC Hero, bezel and all (comparing the HD2 at Fry's, to my Sprint Hero).

May 22nd would be a great 25th birthday present for myself!

Me too! My birthday is the 21st. I'm hoping for a 22nd release for that reason (and cause its sooner than June).

Either way, the phone is a birthday present to myself.

I would like to celebrate your birthday by getting myself an Evo.

 

[mkampy]

OOOh, a family member who works in a Sprint store expects to be named the EVO advocate, so maybe I can get some hands on time !!

I will let y'all know

 

[Lovingthesonic]

It would be cool if we could get a list of stores that have evo's there so we can see and drool over them!
