Re: So what do you guys think so far?

As a convert from Win 6.5 TP2 I absolutely love my EVO. It took a while to get used to, however it never really gave me problems from day one. Perfect size, user friendly and flash support has been a gem. I recently convince a friend and iPhone 3g user to give Android a chance and try out the Samsung Captivate. After switching I explained how there may be a learning curve, insuring him that he would love the openness and freedom with the Android OS. I guess after 3 weeks of using the phone, he is ready to return it and get the iPhone 4. He complained about it feeling laggy. Being a Facebook user he said "iPhone's Facebook is much faster, only one photo loads up on this one." I told him it may be the version of Facebook and should try updating it, but honestly after playing with the Galaxy S phone and all the hype surround these phones, I was a little let down and never again thought about giving the Epic 4g a try. I am not a big gamer, so that and the sliding keyboard would be the only benefits for me. Another thing I saw was when he put the phone in direct sunlight from the windows it reflect and glared like crazy. I don't know if that is an affect of a Super AMOLED screen but it was crazy. And although the screen was very vivid, I personally did not like the way it looked. After using HTC sense, I found Samsung's sense to be unappealing. I think it will boil down to the screen, keyboard, and graphics support. Other than the fact that the EVO is out of stock, I believe that it is still a contender even with its so called aging hardware, especially if you like HTC's sense. Just an opinion
