Did you by any chance check the internal storage space?

 

What city was this in?

 

Someone else on the Android Central forum said that the 3G reception bested the performance he had in comparison to his Pre on Wi-fi.

I thought for the most part, most 3G antenna technology/efficiency was largely the same. Is it possible the EVO either has a superior 3G antenna, or Sprint is somehow giving EVO's priority with 3G usage over the network?

Sorry, I'm not very technical when it comes to this, but from what I read, it seems like the 3G on the phone performs differently from most other phones out right now.

River, or Eieio, if you read this, care to share any insights?

 

this is because the screen (multitouch tracking) were upgraded on both the Incredible and Evo. in new multitouch tests, they will perform the same.

these two devices also have the same camera and 1Ghz processor, which are other upgrades over the N1

 

they are using more than the 2500 spectrum though

 

Does it have multitouch in the keyboard?

 

so I know you say the phone doesn't feel as slim as the nexus one and increadible but doesn't still feel like a slim phone or just like a regular big phone

 

I thought sprint sites says it has 1gb of internal memory.

 

Obviously not all of that is available to the end user. Gotta put the operating system files somewhere.

 

google for comparison between nexus one's camera vs incredible's and nexus one's was reviewed as being noticably better.

that kinda sucks to hear about the 4g. hopefully sprint works it out.

 

Have you ever held a HD2, if yes does it feel any biger then the HD2 casue I know its sligtly thicker and I have held the HD2.

 

I think once sprint gets the first 4G build out done they will go back and build more towers around the cities that currently have 4G to make the signal better then 3G. I think its more of a matter of time thing now.

 

Yeah, I'm in Dallas and I'm expecting the 4g service to be spotty until towards the end of this year.

 

Thank you very much for all the useful info! BTW, how does the actual build quality(materials that compose the phone) feel? Several reviewers of the incredible, which is somewhat similar, mentioned that the phone itself felt kinda plasticy and not really indicative of a high end phone. Some complaints were the flimsy back cover when taken off, and the front portion of the device was surrounded by a glossy cheap feeling plastic.

 

For what it's worth, I have Clear 4G here and my laptop has a built-in Wimax radio. I've used it while riding around on the bus and with the exception of a few flaky blocks, coverage has been pretty darn good. I think it will all depend on your city and how well it is built out, what kind of buildings and other obstructions there are, etc. Essentially your mileage may vary. Thankfully, 3G has been serving me well for a while so I don't mind if I have to bump down to that.

My only annoyance is that we are getting charged extra despite hit or miss coverage like this. Not gonna start another thread or rant about that as I'm resigned to the fact. Just seems like it would have been better to leave prices the same while things are in development, if only so people won't complain when it doesn't work sometimes. Who can argue with sometimes getting more for the same price versus paying for an unreliable service?

 

at least they did something right in baltimore for a change(cell phone wise). i can't wait to see how the EVO does here in charm city lol. ive been looking around to see if any store have any demos, but i havent found any yet. neodorian, lmk if you find any store that have one.. i will jet over there quick

 

I am also curious about what city this was tested in. Im near Philly...which in some cases would have the same layout as Baltimore. Considering where I live is at a lower height than where Philly is, I would expect the 4G reception to be decent.

As far as 3G goes, I normally have 4 bars minimum on my PRE, which has been known to not have the best reception at times compared to other phones.

 

That's so disappointing to hear. I was hoping that it would at least have the same amount of internal storage as the Incredible.

This really does put me on the fence.

 

I have always had Sprint here so I can't vouch for any other carriers but I have always had excellent Sprint service in B-more. No demos that I know of but honestly I never go into electronics retail stores except for things like this pre-order. All they had at the Inner Harbor Best Buy and the Boston Street Radio Shack were HD2 dummies that I picked up for a size comparison. Haven't checked the Sprint store yet.
