I understand this this, although it could still be a troll thread.
Everybody wants the biggest, baddest and latest whatever. That's part of the reason I bought this phone, It was all of those things for a short moment.
It's still the best Spring has and I love the thing but in the grand scheme of phones it was top dog for only a few weeks. That's kind of a bummer.
I haven't seen the new commercial, I heard part of it, but I hope it's better than the 1st.
IMO it sucked. Another surreal commercial that I at least don't get.

I don't believe I called you a troll. Others mentioned your purpose in starting this thread. I do believe I sided with you although pointing out I don't fully know your purpose either.

If you buy an Android phone you can expect it to be the king only for a few weeks. It's not an iphone with a release once a year.
There's a reason more Android phones were sold in Q1 vs. iphone. It's more devices and more carriers which means more options for consumers. It also means the tech moves faster.
There's already talk of phones with 1.5GHZ snapdragon, they'll be here soon enough.
This is all good for those who use Android phones, it just means more developement will be done for these phones (both as apps and the OS itself).
160,000 devices a day, the Droid ads and the great HTC and Motorola devices are the reason, it's all good...
If you need to always have the latest and greatest, either be prepared to pay a lot every few months, or become an Apple fanboy so you can do it only once a year

The HTC EVO IS SO OUTDATED!
JK. It's not outdated at all. How could Sprint's flagship phone be outdated? It's one of the fastest phones out right now with the Droid X, Galaxy S, and iPhone 4. I wouldn't say that's outdated. An outdated Droid would be like the HTC Droid Eris or original Droid (when the Droid 2 comes out).

I know what you mean. I always have to keep telling people it's just CALLED the Motorola Droid, running the ANDROID OS.

Well there are a couple of problems:
Sprint doesn't know how to advertise
Htc intentionally crippled the device which required root to fix and hundreds of development hours from hackers to make right
Low stock because of production changes
New devices coming out every there months without the crippling caps
What does that spell? Sprint failing on another device release. Most of this shit should haber been caught in testing. No excuse.
The evo is still a good phone, just nothing close to what it should have been.

Face it we live in a world where things change so fast no matter what you have its out of date tomorrow.
I do have one question, the droid x says it has a battery that last with 8 hours of talk time and 220 hours of stand by. How do I get that battery in my phone?

This.
No new phones going out = a lot less "buzz" about that phone. A lot less youtube videos from new phone users, etc...
Once the stock fills back up I think the EVO "buzz" will rise again...perhaps

Sprint dropped the ball with the terrible lack of publicity.. and then the $10 fee really scared a lot of people away.

How can anyone say this phone has failed. It's selling out everywhere. Just because it doesn't have the apple hype machine behind it doesn't make it a failure. Why would sprint spend millions to advertise a phone that will be replaced in less than a year? Plus they know it's the only 4G game in town so the media is advertising for them.

Of course Evo is old news. We are on to Evo 2. I just pre-ordered one. It offers video chat in 3D called Ass Time.
