Re: Proclaimed GEEK reviews EVO

His name is Chris Pirillo...he works out of his home office and makes money via blogging, adsense...reviews and sponsors...he does quiet will with it actually. Now on this video I had to disagree with Mr. Pirillo. At the beginning of the video he said he wasn't comparing the Evo 4G to the Iphone....but he really did.

As he is a Iphone user, and is used to the Iphone layout...trying something new and different than the Iphone's OS just seems to complex. The most common things he was getting fustrated over...which led to me relizing he was comparing the so called review against the Iphone was how he compared the landscape to portriat animation...and the unlock screen...and the wifi turn on and off...all those in the Iphone OS are simple, and basic. The Icon to turn Wifi on with the Evo is straight forward, it just turns it on. I can't believe he though that it would magically log onto a network. This is what happens to people that get used to different OS's. When it comes to Iphone users comparing phones to the Iphone, they will always side with what they are comfortable with...which for Chris is the Iphone. It bugged me how he said he wasn't comparing the Evo and Iphone...but he did...and it showed...

The Iphone OS is simple and to the point, thats how apple built it. Any other OS than that will be different...thats a proven fact. It's really a personal preference to what you like...thats how I look at it. I went with Windows Mobile and have now grown to like Android. It does pretty much everything I ask it to do. I really think Chris should have not put this video on youtube, because all it shows is negitive remarks about the phone...his con's outweighted the Pros...he got fustrated because it wasn't simple..and for that he bashed the Evo...
