I hate Engadget

Makes me dizzy and cross-eyed.... It's the little things. Such as that new lockscreen. That is awesome. The new notifcations pull down, has all your previous apps right there, notifications and then settings at the bottom. Perfect! Even the new power button.... It's so much better, easier to use. BT is much better. I love my EVO 4G, but I just keep finding little upgrades that I love! The screen as well, putting the EVO 4G and EVO 3d side by side, it just looks so much better, more crisp. I know they mentioned the battery life sucking and I know that is a comparision to the iphone. But what they never mention in those reviews is that the screen is 1" bigger! That is a HUGE difference in screen real estate when you're only talking 3 to 4 inches, of course the battery will die faster. I can't even use a phone that has a smaller screen anymore. That review they did was complete bullshit and I am never going to that site again.

sigh.... the screen is NOT 1" bigger. both the evo 4g & evo 3d have the same diagonal screen size expect that the evo3d screen is a bit slimmer and taller. while i'm not going to defend engadget, I found their review to be more than reasonable (wasn't BS), it received 1 point less than the HTC sensation. I found it also reasonable that the reviewer docked points for a mediocre camera & worse battery life compared not to the iphone but to the HTC sensation & galaxy s2. It's perfectly reasonable for reviewers to dock points for features a phone has that do not work well.

you may look at the iphone 4 and say, that review got a 9/10. but so did the evo4g & atrix4g. those scores reflect phone technology at that time. if you compare the competition right now, the evo3d is going up against another android phone, the galaxy s2 which engadget gave a 9/10 (the sensation got an 8/10).

As I see it, you only want to read/watch positive reviews of things you like. if there's a negative review, you discredit the source as being biased even though review showed why the phone got a 7/10.
