read it.. wanna know how sprint tells you to save battery life?? turn off 4G, wifi, bluetooth, gps, send/recieve, hotspot, and live wallpaper..umm dont we use that stuff all the time though?? 4G aside...
4.3" screen: honestly, big freeeking deal.. its .5" bigger than other phones.. whatcha gonna do with that extra screen space, actually use your WHOLE finger to press instead of the tip or your nail..(you guys do know that you have to use your fingers right, theres not stylus here)
if people need to complain to feel better about paying, ok... if people need to rationalize the cost by comparing carrier rate plans, ok.. if people use the specs to rationalize the cost,ok...
but were all just lying to ourselves really..take 4G away(which you kind of have to since not alot of people get to use it)... and this phone isnt much different than several other phones already on the market.."
Thanks for the informative post.
I was thinking of switching to the EVO from my Diamond. I was getting tired of replacing my Diamond every few months due to hardware failures. And I was looking for something new.
But after reading your post, which seems spot on, I will most likely be keeping my Diamond and the 2 Back up Diamonds for a while, and put up with replacements, and downloading apps to the replacements.
Although if i need yet another replacement, Sprint may replace it with a similar device, of which there is none. I don't want the Pro2 because of the Keyboard.

The thing about reading internet posts is that you can't hear the tone or inflection of something written so it's hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic or not. But I have to go out on a limb here and say you're definitely being sarcastic. You're still on the diamond? I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still on the Touch Pro and I've been waiting for this phone to come out for a while. I'm tired of replacing my TP every 20 minutes and I haaaaate the way the keyboard lags when the keyboards about to go out.
No stylus? Who the hell needs a stylus on a ginormous screen anyway? The only time I used my stylus on my TP was when I was setting up CorePlayer and I had to tap on those little tiny checkboxes to set up my file associations.
And about the battery, is it some big secret that turning on multiple radios burns through battery life? Go out to your car and turn on all your lights and see how long your battery lasts. You wanna save battery, turn some stuff off. I use the bluetooth on my TP to link up to the stereo to my car. Do I leave the bluetooth on when I'm done? No because I might need to make a call and I'd like to have my battery with a little juice on it. A lot of reviews I read said that just simply switching off 4G saves the battery. I can't really say for sure because I don't own the phone yet. Is this gonna stop me from getting the phone? No because my TP had shatty battery life when I got it, but a few tweaks later and it would last most of the day. I expect the same out of the EVO.
Anyways, I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not but either way, I'm thinking this will be a good phone to upgrade too. I've been eligible for one since November, but I didn't want a TP2 because it's just a TP with a bigger screen. And being a Premier customer, if I don't like this phone come June of next year, I'll just get something else.
