ok, so i will post there here with the hopes to set some things straight about these phones....
i am now on my 6th evo v 4g. 3 have been from BB with virgin branding and 2 have been from RS with sprint branding.
all 6 of them have the mms/fluctuation signal issue. one phone was not better than the other, all of them suck
all 6 have light leak around the bottom 1/4 of the glass
all 3 virgin branded phones back piece does not fit properly, ie gaps around edges especially corners, power and volume buttons are either WAY to easy or WAY to hard to press to get to work.
all 3 sprint phones did NOT come with the factory installed screen protector, all 3 virgin phones DID come with factory installed screen protector
all 3 sprint phones battery try "creeked" when squeezed, the battery seemed "smaller" than the virgin phones battery which set firmly in the battery tray.
there ARE software differences between them.....
sprint phones would not update the PRL past 60007
virgin phones would update to 60008 right out of the box, and 1 even updated to 60009 (my first one)
and this one is odd...
the stock browser on the virgin phones will not highlight the URL at the top when you click on it. you must click, hold, select all, then backspace or start typing. on the sprint phone, when you click on the URL the whole string is highlighted automagically so you can just start typing in the web address you want to visit.
i am returning my 6th one within the week unless an update is rolled out. i will be switching to the tmobile 4g prepay plans since i can actually get 4g with them at my home.
whats messed up is i live in a Minneapolis suburb and there is WiMax all over here, except on the west side of the cities and there is absolutely 0 coverage. which is where i happen to live and work.
this phone has such good potential but has been a huge letdown for me
