Iphone 4 Who still wants an Evo??

rckymtn · Jun 9, 2010

The above link to engadget also had some side by side comparisons, with the EVO next to the Iphone 4G. I saw on Apple website pre-order are on the 15 of June, avaiable to public on the 24 of June. Below is the side by side comparisons.

Mine is iPhone 4 guide: preview, pricing, availability -- Engadget

Take your Evo, shoot a 720p video and then test the FPS and I am willing to bet you will see anywhere between 20 and 24.7ish. Not 30.

the iphone is a nice looking product, but lets remember it took them 4 years to get a flash on the camera, and a few years to get cut/paste! wow, they are so ahead of the times..........i'll take my evo over an over hyped iphone anyday.

Actually my post on fps was a little confusing I mentioned Iphone first and then quoted Evos FPS at 25.
What program would test it??
Thanks!

I may be crazy here, but I think you hold the new iphone the exact same way as the old one..

Er I also thought the Evo had a gps chip not a agps (assisted which is basically cell triangulation)

The battery life of the iPhone remains to be seen. I hear lots of people complain now about the 3GS battery life, and then on the other hand, people think it is fantastic--same as the Evo.

Personally I think they are both great devices and I would strongly consider the iPhone if it weren't for being on AT&T only.

Which camera makes the better pictures? A $200 Sony point&shoot with 10MP, or my Nikon D70S with 6.1MP? Answer = Nikon.

Point being

I was impressed with the iPhone 4 but nothing I didnt already expect. My evo does everything the iPhone does but that beautiful screen. Why they would stick a screen of that hi res only on a 3.5" screen is stupid. Front camera, HD video, back camera...we have that. The hdmi out, kick stand, and 4G they don't have. I love Apple but tried of paying apple money and their ungodly control of every little thing. I do envy their higher quality of games but hopefully Google will fix that. Only thing I'm waiting on to be completely satisfied is a better 3rd party battery... also 80 compared to 100/110 a month is better imo

I talked to the manager at radio shack, he stated that after june 17 they should have a steady supply of Evo's

Drew5150 · Jun 9, 2010

honestly for me, most of the things that are hyped on both phones i have no intent on using. maybe a camera shot here and there.

i bought the evo because i wanted the new FAST android phone.

i actually would prefer a slightly smaller screen. yeah i know the screen is beautiful and a joy to play with. but i don't need it THAT big. i would prefer lighter weight and some more battery life (i actually seem to get good life with the way i set up and use my phone).

unfortunately for my line of work the phone kinda gets in the way, or could be lost/broken too easily. this leaves me having to leave the phone on my workbench. now my mobile phone has become less mobile

. hopefully a stereo bluetooth headset will solve this problem, i plan to listen to music and take calls. but now i have to be careful it doesn't get stolen, unlikely but some things have been know to disappear around the shop.

if the iphone came to sprint i would get one for the wife for sure, she is an apple nut. i prefer pc's so i would stay with the evo or the next android phone.

um huh???

Evo ... as in Car, a Turbocharged Mitsubishi.

One turbo (the car), one 1ghz processor (the phone)

vikingjunior · Jun 9, 2010

After a few days of looking at a 4.3" screen it's very hard to downgrade to a 3.5" screen.IMO

I know, i was looking at my Instinct(original) and then looking at the EVO thought i was going to need reading glasses or a magnifying glass (on the Instinct).

I agree, battery life. And the camera is prob better on the iPhone as well as video capture. Other then that android kicks the crap out of the new 4th iPhone

engadget posted some actual no touch up pics on their page, taken with the i4...can't say that i think the pics will be superior to evo's...they may look better due to the i4 resolution, but to me they look like good pics for what it is...i'm just sayin

When I look at those photos they look like they have lighting added which changes the whole dynamic of the photo.

I'm not a professional photographer; just IMO

It seems too much light, alomost photoshopped too much. Those pencils look too yellow almost to an unreal shade of yellow. My pencils are not that yellow lol

everything is going to change anyway. You add multitasking in a phone, and you've just ruined the battery. Thats life.... I wrote about it recently... iOS vs Android | Exstatica

These threads are popping up all over androidforums and I feel like it's just going to get worse as we approach end of june.

Why are we giving Apple all this free publicity for their closed garbage?

It's such a lame debate =/

Whatever..

I have an EVO now and love it. It does everything I want a smartphone to do. Who cares what Apple announced.

You have to hand it to Apple, they build some beautiful hardware. Now if only HTC could get to building phones with similar attention to detail. I love Sprint, and Love my EVO, but I must say that I would much prefer to have an EVO that is 9.3 mm thick made of two pieces of glass and stainless steel than the plastic that I have now.

No offense, but after owning an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 3GS, I can say your choice seems flawed to me. Apple likes making very shiny, pretty hardware, which looks absolutely amazing in trade shows, but unfortunately aren't practical in real life.

Case in point, I HAD to have a case with my iPhone. No ands ifs or buts about it. The backs of those things were so glossy and delicate, that while pretty, had to be protected. Now, glass is going to be more durable than the 3GS for instance, but it's still nothing compared to the EVO's matte back.

In fact, the only thing on my EVO is a invisishield on the screen. That's it. The phone goes in my pocket, in the car's cup holder, and on my desk, and there's not a single scratch to it. This would never have been possible with an iPhone, and it never will be.

Once again, I appreciate the artistic flare Apple devices show in their mobile products. I'm a graphic designer, and sometimes their stuff is nothing short of science fiction looking. However, these products are meant to be used, and if I never see the beautiful body of the iPhone because it's in a plane rubbery case all the time anyway.. what's the point exactly?

I guess I just see things differently after having had these phones for two years. The magic wears off and you see what you really bought; a phone that gets damaged all too easily, with lacking features, a restricted OS and market, an incomplete browser, and a phone plan with horrible restrictions and rules that can make you go broke rather easily.

For me Evo forever.

It's 4 o'clock normal day usual settings you can do a search for all the threads and i have 77% battery life left since 8 this morning. I have gps and mobile on inluding calls and push mail.

I have lunch with someone everday who is glued to their iPhone, they continually have problems getting news feed and connecting their 3gs service. I test my phone against his and get a signal and DL and connect faster.

Buy whatever you want, I did and am happy with the EVO. The complaints are moot in imho.

The iPhone 4 has a better screen, though smaller, a better battery, and more developed apps. Other than that and possibly a better video chat client (Qik crapped the bed), the iPhone 4 was completely underwhelming.

They might have more apps, but prob atleast 1/2 of them are crappy and the other have prob actually have good uses.

And the Iphone 4 isn't even out yet so no one can make a judgement on how good the battery will really be until it gets into the users hands.

I will still be getting evos for us even though people have been having some problems with battery... It will take sometime to figure out the best way to get the most out of your battery on the EVO.

So gotta say I just looked at the Iphone 4 and gotta say I love it. I love it because it offers absolutely NO competition to the Evo. They are saying it may not even have a 1 ghz processor.

That being said; anyone know how many people are still looking for the Evo? Did Sprint actuallysell out??

Im sure the IPhone will be very nice when it arrives with a nice solid build quality and everything working well. BUT being hand cuffed to AT&T for the next two years is the real issue with the IPhone.
