Hi,
I am about to get a new line and trying to choose between Evo 4G or Nexus S 4G (long story why but I am limited to those 2 choices).
I know this is Nexus forum, so opinions may be somewhat biased, but nevertheless... I would like to know what people recommend. Here is what I use often and need to work well:
1. GPS - travel a lot and use Nav all the time (have been using Bing on WinMo for the last year and love it, but also used TT and Navigon)
2. Phone - need decent call quality, including earpiece and speakerphone
3. Video Chat - given the fact that I travel, need to talk to family and would love to use video. Thinking of Skype or GV. Need to be able to use both cell to cell and cell to PC.
4. Basic web browsing, nothing heavy. I do have 4G in my area.
5. Listening to music
6. Ease of use - while on the road, need to be able to answer calls and use Nav. Coming from resistive screen, which was a pain in the .... now want/need something responsive, but not too sensitive. Easy switching from the call back to Nav etc...
7. Reliability - remember stories about HTC TP, where people went thru 6-7 phones before finding the one that worked. I plan to keep it for the next 2 years, and need the phone to be solid!
8. Is there really a significant difference between 4 and 4.3" screens in terms of web surfing, Nav etc? This is likely a personal preference, but ...
Please feel free to comment on any of the points and please try to be as objective as you can. Again, would like to compare the 2 phones as other devices not really an option (I know there are probably better ones now)
Thanks so much.
Sophie
