Re: Evo for Business Use

I myself am a business user and think this is a great business phone. It is so much snapper than the TP2. Most apps are free other are like .99 to several dollars.

Re: Evo for Business Use

You can use the Touchdown app to sync tasks.

Re: Evo for Business Use

I have to say, coming from WinMo and being a business user for years, the Android has not let me down in any way.

I too was concerned seeing people mention the concern of not being able to sync with an Exchange Server. The EVO has satisfied every requirment that I had.

In all honesty, I regret not making the transition sooner and will not (repeat: will not) be going back to WinMo. I picked up my TP2 this morning to look at something on the storage card and thought to myself, "Wow, I couldn't go back to it! I've been spoiled now with the EVO and Android!!!".

Make the leap... The only regret you will have is not doing it sooner!!!

Re: Evo for Business Use

I use the evo for business use as well, now for the most part I have been happy with, and have even more apps i use for business.
Was never able to find an app for Credit Card processing (android has a few for auth.net) Editing office docs, there are several choices for at most I think was $5.00

What I miss, Keyboard, voicecommand (for bluetooth notifications of emails)

The best part its not constantly locking up (although that never bothered me to much as I was so used to it)
I am sure there is more that I cant think of.

Re: Evo for Business Use

I'm also a business users and access my email, contacts, and calendar constantly. And I also came from a TP2 and I think the Evo is great for the most part. I can do pretty much everything.

But about "the most part," my biggest issue and maybe someone can help me out is that I can't see my Calendar appointment "body" info or attachments. With my TP2, I could see everything and click on attachments. When I look on the Evo, I just see the appointment title, time, attendees, and reminder time...but I can't see the appointment info. Most of my appointments have additional information, like what the meeting is about or other imperative info. Does anyone have a work around for this...it's a little fustrating!

Re: Evo for Business Use

Here are two issues and I am a business user. In WinMo you can set your contacts to display with business name, last, then first. I can't find a way to display business names in the contacts.

Also miss the auto speaker phone from the TP2

This bothers me as well. I'm using Google calendar and it syncs great (as opposed to my WinMo which would not sync my calendar at all).

I think the problem is with Google and not with the EVO. Google does not give the option of LAST NAME FIRST. I don't know enough about exchange/outlook since I've never used it. If someone does, and doesn't have this problem, please let us know.

Thanks!

Re: Evo for Business Use

documents to go lite doesn't allow for editing but if you pay for the full version you can edit or create word, excel, and powerpoint. also it allows for view of pdfs but htc already incorporated something for that.

Re: Evo for Business Use

I originally got my TP2 because I'm a heavy user and need constant access to a lot of information. I work in work in a hospital, so I constantly need to reference drugs, neurology, endocrinology info. The apps I use from skyscape were just too slow and difficult to navigate on WM. Now, the android versions are far superior to the wm versions (in terms of content), and are blazing fast. Plus I don't have to worry about my phone freezing when multitasking. I viewed a lot of documents, so I don't need to edit anything. In landscape mode on the EVO the keyboard is very large and a decent replacement for the TP2 keyboard.

The only thing I miss has nothing to do with WM. The TP2 had that awesome speaker phone with excellent sound quality. The EVO has a tiny rear speak with standard quality. Otherwise, it has fit my professional needs.
