Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

This phone is amazing and no problems for me so far. I am hearing all of these complaints but I haven't experienced any of them. This has been said many times but if you don't like certain small features then guess what there will be a fix or another app. If you aren't willing to learn your phone because it is open then yes you should buy something that is not customizable. However, what if you don't like one of those features? What do you do then. The EVO is great and amazingly fast I don't know where this lag stuff if coming from. Just my two cents I guess.

Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

I've had no issue with my Evo. I had the TP and TP2 had both of them replaced at least 4 times each, but it never made me want to switch carriers. My cousin has an Iphone and our conversations are always getting disconnected because of his bad reception.

Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

I like my EVO. I do think that it can be improved but can't everything. I am waiting for a LiPo Battery. I replaced the LiOn on my Mogul with one and it was night and day change.

I do wish the EVO was more rugged. Otherwise, I am happy and glad that i bought it

Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

I really like my EVO, but I think it's less stable then the Samsung Moment I had. I did get the Moment a few months into it's prodution run, so they did update it.

I have the random reboot problem a least twice a day. My screen does not wake up sometimes, I have to pull the battery.

But, it is awesome for what it does. A few glitches here and there.

My biggest gripe is not it's fault, I can't get used to the on screen keyboard. I have 3 additional ones installed (shape, swype slide ) I think they all are sub par. All are CLOSE .. but each is missing some key things the others have.

That's been the one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. Maybe they'll release a Pro version at some point with a keyboard. If not, I may have to go the Samsung route with the new S Pro coming out.

Smile Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

By far best device I've owned in terms of features, community/collective development, and 4G.

First Android device after several Win Mo devices and I can say I am not looking back.

Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

I'm a Microsoft fan, but winmo is total garbage. I would like to smash my ole winmo phones. They are an utter insult from the get go . Droid smokes it in every respect. It's good they started from a relatively clean slate with droid, and based it off linux.

Re: Anyone wish they DIDN'T buy an Evo?

i think the better question would be "have you returned your evo?" Phone hasn't even been out a month yet, so why would we be sitting here wishing we didn't get one? I don't think anyone wants to go back to whatever they were using on sprint though. Sprint's lineup has royally sucked this year (until the evo).
