Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?

they say the race horse is bred out. If you put their speeds on a graph, the slope was steep from 1900 until sometime in the 70's and then flattened out to the point where it is nearly flatline. We have made the best horse we can make.
The same goes for technology. There is a ramp of newness and then it plateaus but eventually it goes flatline and then the technology becomes very cheap.
The modem went from coupler to 1200 to 9600 and eventually to 56K where it sits today. Broadband access was still 5 years away. Laptops, once dual core have changed little over the last 5 years. The price has nose-dived.
Smartpphones may be nearing that stage of evolution where all the BIG enhancements are there and now it is a matter of refinement. Better camera, more rugged, a few more bells & whistles but we may be looking at the best phone to come for some time.
