The reason for that is that the fact the Iphone and the epic use Colors: 16.7 million (24-bit) rather than the Evo's 65,536 (16-bit) which makes it look washed out compared to Iphone and the epic. You can tell the difference when you stretch, zoom or print out your pic from the Evo that the 3 million additional mega-pixel come in handy...but most people wont do that! They also could of went back down to dual 5mp rather than a dual 8mp to save money. There aren't that many 8mp cell phone in the U.S. but it now a standard to see 5mp, and the longer something is out the cheaper it is!

umm..so something now can beat old sero plans with $10 discounts + 20% off? I mean they even removed discounts per line stuff..its definitely the mot expensive its ever been..people are sticking to old plans for a reason...my friend has 5 lines for 75$ and 3000 minutes..whats the best current price on that?

Thats not the reason..the 5mp cameras in Epic/iphone are definitely better then the EVO..all MP are is a container...if the Sensor is not good enough to match the container it is pointless..just uses up more space..

Realistically 3MP is already over 1080p....and 5mp is pretty much a standard piece of paper printed at 300dpi..so effectively 5mp is enough for most consumer uses..

and do consumer printers even print 16million colors?

Also isn't a 5MP camera a downgrade from our current 8MP? I know it's the quality of the MP and not the actual MP but it's a downgrade, no?

3D requires 2 lenses always

Cooler than your EVO

Yepper!

3D film camera we the rage for awhile in the early eighties. They had 2 lens, side by side and actually took two photos. They were slides and you had to view them through a funky viewer like the ones you would use to look at those round cards with the pictures of Eiffel Tower and Empire State building. It never caught on.

Anybody remember when these things used to be portable telephones?

I remember getting my TP and at that time 299 then you get a rebate of 50 or 100, i forgot which.That was a lot of beans. i think that was the most expensive for a while. The Tilt which was the same phone essentially was 150. Now 200 is the norm. For a while, the outgoing TP2 was still more expensive that the EVO.

didnt the current evo come out at 199? seeing the expected upgrades i can understand the extra $50

**gTen** · #9 (**permalink**) 03-20-2011, 04:18 PM

its not that..its just that carriers are experimenting..$200 was set by the iphone..but carriers are trying out to see how much lea-way they can get..I mean THEY CAN give it out for free if they wanted to..but they try to maximize their profits...(which I dont blame I guess since I remember when we paid 350$ for phones..then again plans were cheaper and no $10 fees...)
