Couple questions for EVO owners

[zippy]

Hi, sorry if this is answered somewhere, but I did try to scan as much as I could for answers. I am currently a Moment user, and after exchange, pretty happy with it (GPS didn't work on original).

- Does EVO have the same triple tones when out of service like the Moment does?
- When switching between Wifi and CDMA any one ever have to reboot to regain network capability?
- Is there an LED indicator like Blackberry has?
- GPS work well?
- Is EVO one of the phones that will be flash compatible?

Anything else anyone wants to add feel free, just trying to justify to myself whether to invest in one or not ...

thx

- Does EVO have the same triple tones when out of service like the Moment does? Not a clue didn't have a moment

- When switching between Wifi and CDMA any one ever have to reboot to regain network capability? I have not had to reboot

- Is there an LED indicator like Blackberry has? I don't know - didn't own or like blackberry

- GPS work well? Works very well for me

- Is EVO one of the phones that will be flash compatible? Yes

Anything else anyone wants to add feel free, just trying to justify to myself whether to invest in one or not ...

Thanks, the triple tones are the ones when you go in and out of service. Annoying as heck and no way to shut off.

honestly still don't know LOL I haven't ever gone without service except when we go on a cruise and I turn my phone off then.. last thing I care about on a boat is my phone

it has an option to turn on/off a sound for when you connect to a roming network
it has an LED for when you get messages/calls/missed calls... has options to turn it off.. i'm assuming thats what your asking about

- Does EVO have the same triple tones when out of service like the Moment does? I never hear any tones coming in/out of service.
- When switching between Wifi and CDMA any one ever have to reboot to regain network capability? I have NEVER had to reboot for this and use it daily. I have 1 bar of service at my house in only very specific places, so I put my phone in Airplane mode and then enable WiFi on a daily basis. I have been very pleased at how solid the WiFi is on the EVO and have never had problems connecting to the internet. A+!
- Is there an LED indicator like Blackberry has? Yes, blinks for a short period when you receive a text/email, orange when low on battery or chargin, or solid green when done charging.
- GPS work well? GPS works fantastic, very fast locks and very responsive. No more waiting 5 minutes for GPS locks like on my previous WinMo phones.
- Is EVO one of the phones that will be flash compatible? Has Flash Lite right now through Sense UI, will be getting full flash w/ Froyo (Android 2.2) whenever Sprint/HTC release the updated OS.

Thanks very much ... The triple tone removal or option to turn off is my heaviest complaint on Moment right now ... I will go to Sprint and gander at the display of the EVO I guess and make a decision. Little worried abotuu the screen separation complaints, so I guess that would be my biggest fear.
