How do you run your "Evo demo" when showing it to people?

[curleyfrei]

Just show it to him.

Done.

 

[QuesoGrande]

Awesome guys. Thanks a bunch. Some big ones that I missed in here.

Quick/dumb question. You guys keep mentioning Flash. I thought Flash wasn't available until 2.2??

flash light comes stock on the phone. Full 10.1 comes in froyo

 

[MrX8503]

I would show off your screen, Youtube HQ, Google Apps, and the Live wallpaper. Also you could talk about how much cheaper Sprint is. Google Sky seemed to be the most impressive to the iPhone users. Its a pretty cool app.

Are people really considering flash as an advantage? I dunno right now flash is Garbage. Its nice that it has the capability now, but I wouldn't gloat about it just yet until its actually running smoothly in the future.

I mean its not very impressive that a browser comes to a crawl loading advertisements.

Ditto to Oridus - just want to add - the EVO is already supporting HQ flash.

You might try a good YouTube or two for that - I personally like the Clash, Rockin' The Casbah - or - Johnny River's Secret Agent Man - that sort of thing.

 

[MyFishWagon]

This is super easy.

I just hand them the phone

 

[EarlyMon]

The front camera always blows them away for me. I just tell them to look at the screen and then switch it on. It's the icing on the cake

Market: Mirror 4 Evo

Google Sky Maps gets all the iphone people jealous. I usually finish with it. Show them all the neat little things and then google sky maps.

 

[EarlyMon]

OK - I've found the perfect app - shows off nicely: Tricorder

 

[ToxMox]

My two biggest average Joe crowd pleasers are doing a voice search on Google Maps of the person's address then choosing navigate to and Google Sky Maps.

Layar is also a pretty cool app that I show as well as taking a picture of either a book cover or famous piece of artwork with Google Goggles.

Also usually demo barcode app scanning barcode of a product to compare prices.

how do i load movies to the evo never done this and not very pc savy

 

[cabbie]

i tested out fring with someone and while it was functional, it was not something id consider for using. Two second lag and poor audio.

 

[355spider]

I lead with swype, followed by goggles, hit em with layer, then sky map, followed by front camera. then when they are about to climax I show em that it ****ing prints money and they are all mine.

 

[eric3316]

The way I show me EVO to iPhone users is I will call them, there phone will drop the call, and after that I say you don't deserve to see anything else my EVO can do!

But if I feel the need to show more, I just show them the phone, no need to even turn it on. They just walk away in shame with their tiny little 3.5" screen.

Then if they are still wanting more, which by now not sure why they would want to, I give them the pleasure of turning the device on. What comes up next is a home screen with the weather, scrolling news, stocks, shortcuts, system widgets, etc.

Seriously, what more needs to be shown after that?

 

[centauress]

Being a girl tech geek is hard.. but when you give the guys phone envy too... it makes me giggle with glee!

Tell it, sistah....

It's especially funny when you can slam down the technical stats that your phone has over them:

"Oh yeah, that 5 MP cam on back of your iPhony is nice...but it ain't an 8 MP."
"Oooh, a 3.7 inch diagonal on that phone? Nice, but isn't a 4.3 inch."
"You can output video? Using how much gear? I just plug in this little HDMI cable..."
​

The facial droop when you cannonball their egos.... Priceless

All is god except the MP thing. More MP's unfortunately does not mean the better photo. You can have a 2MP camera that blows the EVO away.....

 

[pwnst*r]

-snesoid
-shazam which then leads to music junk (free music downloads)
-browsing
- then all of my screens

not sure why you'd mention shazam. been using that in my iphone for ages.


Live wallpaper
Google Sky
Google Nav
FF camera
Demo a movie

I've seen the h2h between the iBoned and the Evo. The MPs do count in this instance, for the quality is pretty close between them - and if it were reversed, the iPhanbois would be screaming it back at us...

Too bad the Evo's pics don't come out as good.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the MP count and if the iPhanbois would scream that back at us it would just show their lack of knowledge as well.

Exactly.

 

[ARR22]

On my moment, I always lead with goggles and wifi tether. That gets their attention real quick. I'm still thinking about picking up an evo!

Tapatalk. Samsung Moment. Yep.

Why not try it out? Remember you get 30 days. Im sure you will fall in love with it despite some of its shortcomings.

 

[Draiko]

I usually let them play with the browser for a few, then show them Leap (HTC Sense), Google Nav, Layar, Fring, Speed Forge 3D, Sprint TV, and cap it off with Speech-to-text ... I tell them to cuss at the phone.

 

[I want my EVO]

Google Sky, Play CaligoChaser and then I load up an AVI movie using Rock Player.

Watching a movie on the screen is smooth (Yes it can be better) but it blows them away.

My brother has a Moto phone (Using Android), but when he saw mine he was jealous to say the least.

Edit: I also show them the speak-to-text feature for texting/ email. I have had a few jaws drop with that feature.

 

[RagingSamster]

"The Incredibles" is good for a jaw drop, Pixar movies look so incredibly sharp on this phone.
