    A letter I recently sent to Sprint (with a few more identifying details): In what can only be deemed luck so exceptional I should have bought a lottery ticket instead, I've received 4 consecutive defective HTC EVO 4G LTE devices within my 14-day return period at a local Maplewood Sprint...

    A Disillusioned T-Mobiler's Hopeful Lament

    I've been with T-Mobile (GSM) for well over a year -- ever since a few months before the fateful HD2's release.

    HTC EVO 3D used as a computer?

    I was thinking maybe it'd be possible to use the 3VO as sort of a mini-laptop. Like a netbook. With a 4.3" screen. Eh? :cool: Here are some things to keep in mind or mull over: Resolution is now nearly as good as some netbooks (better than others -- remember the old QVGA netbooks?). [A] Case...
