agreed lol.. I never really liked the Iphone.. got the Droid 2 months ago. Best phone ive owned and messed around with PERIOD.. got it rooted as well, was a bit worried to overclock it to 1.2, but turned it up to 800ghz and it runs super smooth. This 4G evo coming out is basically the same thing as the Nexus one phone that came out except with a faster running processor.

This phone isnt released yet so how can your friend have this phone? If it's the HTC HD2, It's not the same thing.


I have the Palm Pre, I love it, It's rooted, Overclocked and so forth and multitasking is the shit! Best phone i've had so far. Here are a few things i've done to it aswell LOL


1- Loading Icon Glowing with the Mitsu Logo O0
2- Fully Connected Wifi Icon as Mitsu Logo O0
3- Screen Taps = Mitsu Logo O0

and my BOOT LOGO

Apps are the same for all android phones.
Motorola Droid is the phone, android is the OS

same with the droid incredible, its actually the HTC Incredible (phone) running android OS

VZW is making it so confusing using the term "droid" for all its android phones

There is no 4G iphone. 4th generation, sure. 4G network? No. No carrier has 3G network covered well enough to even start supporting 4G even though Sprint is advertising it in certain test markets. Anyway, iPhone is wayyyyyy overrated. It was the phone to get 2 years ago but even 3gs model was practically the same phone as 3g. Palm has a great webOS but have no firmware updates and lack the apps that most people crave. I'm an avid Blackberry user and have been for over 6 years. Although my personal phone is a BB Tour, I do have the Motorola Backflip as a work phone and aside from the awkward design of the phone (which I'm not a huge fan of) the features as well as the OS is the next big thing. Unless Apple revamps the OS, even the new generation iPhone won't be able to keep up with the pace and progress that Android is making. WinMobile = lol they just need to stop making phones period. No version has ever worked well enough to win users over. I'd rather have a old school razR and call it a day. Evo 4G is definitely supposed to be one of the best phones out there and I'm eager to see reviews from actual users.

im gettinging it in a few hours so ill let u guys know how it goes!!

im excited this is my first real smart phone/ good phone! and i like that i can use it as a wifi hub for my itouch, so i get the best of both worlds :-)

also it is a 4g network, everyone is soon gonna be offering it, and sense the iphone is coming to verison, and verison uses alot of sprints satilites, that means 4g for the 4gen iphone :-)..... i love how everything is finally merging together!

also springs unlimited plan for this phone is 70 or 80 bucks, so using my above cross logic, verison iphone plan may just be the same price and at&t can go fk themselves :-)

Please KNOW what you're talking about before making yourself sound stupid by ASSuming. There is no 4G network. PERIOD! Sprint's network is available in TEST MARKETS, not nationwide. For now, they are the ONLY carrier to offer that. VeriZon does not and will not compete with Sprint. They're only concern as a carrier is At&t and vice versa. Exact reason why At&t and Verizon plans are nearly EXACTLY the same. There are wayyyyyyyy too many flaws in 3G as a network for carriers to even think about 4G at the moment. Which is exactly the reason why there are bandwidth issues. Carriers are in a hurry to develop 3G products without having the network set up to support the growth of the technology. That's the reason for dropped calls, lag in data transfer, etc..

4G is in the works. Bottom line. But for it to be out nationwide and fully functional amongst the top 3 carriers (At&t, Verizon, Sprint) will not be for a long time. Definitely not this year for sure.

wow i can so not give to shits about what u just said! u sound like all those evo nerds on here that take there job way to seriously... i can care less just like the mods i did to my car didnt go with what everyone was pushing 2 years ago. all i care about is being happy and i have my evo phone now and im quite happy with it!.

i know im still exploring my first high end phone but so far everything is peachy and bad ass :-)

so good day to this thread and we need to start qik calling eachother :-D i wonder if skype will work for this

My comments were NOT and are NOT to talk you out of buying the phone. It was more about educating your ignorant ass about technology and how it works. It's idiots like you who go around spreading rumors about this and that and know nothing more than what you heard from the next idiot. I'm all for the Evo phone. I think it is very promising and definitely one of the best smartphones out there regardless of what service provider supports it.

What are you talking about, Verizon is launching 4G LTE for mobile data cards at the end of this year, and 4G handsets Q1 of FY '11. Sprint will also have its WiMax 4G live in all of its largest markets by the end of the year.
