yes you have to have head phones plugged in to use the FM Radio. That is what you use for the antenna. You could plug in computer speakers and use them also.

I asked the phone salesman..if I could take some pictures, and instead I recorded a video.. "non chalantly" lol. he let me mess with it for awhile..no big deal.

Hmm, I'm calling BS on full flash. If it had full flash capability, we'd have heard that from other reviewers as well.

NO it does not. I'm calling shenanigans on this. My best friend whom also has the device said Hulu didn't work for him either. So idk if this review or reviewer is BSing it, but I assure you, Hulu does not work.

Reading the engadget review about 4G being spotty is starting to turn me off on the phone. That and the questionable future of 4G with more people using it. Personally that is one of the defining features of the phone, but if you lose signal just going into a coffee shop? Damn that sucks. Most of the time I'm inside buildings. Right now I'm on 30 SERO ,and for this phone my bill would jump to 80 bucks. My TP2 is a little laggy at times cause it is Winmo 6.5, but for the most part runs great and does everything I need it to do. I try to convince myself how much better life will be with the EVO to try to justify the huge plan price increase, but I think I'm starting to trick myself. In a few months the giddyness of having the EVO will probably wear off like every other phone I've had, but I'll be stuck with an expensive plan. Anyone else in the same shoes? Or am I the only one feeling like this LOL. Feel like I have the angel and devil sitting on my shoulders, the devil telling me to buy the evo and the angel telling me I need to save my money.

Sprint's official news release stated:

Adobe Flash technology ensures that rich Internet content, such as embedded video and animation, are displayed the way they are meant to be seen.

but there is nothing about Flash in the official fact sheet.

I agree, wouldn't this be the biggest thing on all these reviews if it were true? I hope we're wrong.

Glad to see the camera is great. My Hero is 5mp and thats crap compared to my Tour 3.2mp camera. Looking forward to taking some great pics and vids with this thing.

How was the keyboard? any lag at all? thats other issue i have with my Hero

its just you, and others who dont fall into the pre-release-hype. you dont want it if you gotta harp on everything negative. (losing signals in a building, what you TP2 never had a sucky signal somewhere and started roaming?) it wont be perfect, nothing ever is. but its a HUGE deal because its new. yes the initial hype may boil down after its release, but this doesnt seem like the type of phone that will fall off the meter. Its like iPhone caliber right now. Peole will love it or love to hate it. It aint goin no where, unless they start exploding in people pockets. Wait for the few months for people who dont like it as much as they thought and scour ebay/CL for one used and price is knocked down a lil. but the sprint fees aint goin no where. But like anything new, u gotta pay to play man. You want that luxury/performance, u gonna spend a lil more for it. American way.
