Walked in with my hero, out with my free EVO!

[dan330]

the Knight now the EVO Shift 4G....

is not bigger.. correct
is it faster??? yes it is... by a lot..
dont just look at the mhz...which is 800; because it is the new scorpion chip and runs faster and consumes less power. It also has a better GPU.
It will out perform the hummingbird.
it will also overclock to 1900mhz.. with quadrant scores in the 3000s!
Evo is only in 1200 - 1500s

the reasons I dont want it:
i need the bigger screen.. for easy reading.
no front facing camera
thinner.. so it looks/feels better in my front pocket.
kickstand.. to view pics and vid

when it does come on... I will go play with it.
and if the 3.7" screen.. is good. but i really doubt I can deal with it.
I might switch... i am still in my 30 days.

Definitely looking forward to seeing the performance out of the CPU/GPU, but I should point out that if you are comparing OC potential, the EVO has achieved Quadrant scores of >2k

Also, do you expect it will be thinner? Even with a slider keyboard?

Is anyone able to confirm the improvements stated about the 0004 evos? I was under the impression they just had a new vendor for the camera.

It would probably be faster to get an answer if you asked your question in the EVO thread.

this thread is the first i've even heard of such a claim.

And I'm loving 4G, by the way. Just measured 11.09Mbps on Speakeasy speed test.

Yet no palpable difference for general browsing. i love 15Mbps down 2Mbps up on xfinity comcast, but that I actually use to the fullest. Don't get me wrong... with tether, it's certainly possible to maximize potential of sprint/clearwire, but I feel like heavy users are more on the radar of mobile data than traditional HFC broadband.
