I was not expecting every review site to hop on the evo bandwagon and some critizism was to be expected but these reviews seriously killed my anticipation for this phone. was ready to pay full retail for this phone but looks like its the bench for me coach. the call quality being bad was the killer for me everything else can be tolerated but I need my phone to do the basics perfectly a phone that cant make descent calls is bad .. I still feel this was a rush job for sprint and htc so they wouldnt lose any momentum so hopefully the review units had a few bugs already being ironed out and a firmware update in the immediate pipeline... Is it just me or does anybody else feel these reviews were extremely rushed like every site didnt even try to use it under normal conditions just barely charged it and turned everything on and went at it just to be the first ones to the punch with the hands-on "in-depth" reviews.. not making excuses just seems to be a few extra variables in the equation. either way full price doesnt seem justified anymore and no longer a first week purchase for me
