How do you not love the Evo...

I am coming home from a Detroit Tigers game, rolling down the road... with my daughter teathered to me i have Nav running as i am using Pandora to stream, i'm texting, tunee is working in the background, bluetooth is streaming to my head unit in my car...
If you would have told me this thing would run all of this at once I would have been sceptical at the least. All I can say is wow...
Oh yeah and i'm on the internet typing a new Thread

Root it!
Use it!
Love it! EVO!

I'm wondering if it will really build me an island, transform into a plane and fly me there!

The Evo definitely has bigger Bee Gees lol

Seriously, I don't like a few minor things, like attachments to emails, at least large ones, don't download automatically, regardless of the settings. You have to click the download arrow, and what is worse, you can't navigate away without it cancelling out the download. I've even had it go to sleep and cancel the download.

Most of the issues I have are like that, minor, and fairly easily dealt with. I don't think it multi-tasks quite as well as WinMo (in certain areas), and there are other examples, but I just can't think of them right now.

All in all, I would rate the Evo better in 95%+ ways, and only in less than 5% is it a little weaker in comparison. Lack of a powerful Office suite is another way. Documents To Go strips some formatting out of desktop documents, which is an issue, especially when you have to send it back with changes, and it goes back looking like craps, hot-links are gone, etc. It's pretty lame. I'm trying to talk SoftMaker into porting their incredibly powerful Office suite over to Android. It has virtually all the functions of the desktop version, and doesn't strip out any of the formatting.

There's an app on the market called "Quickoffice" that is made specifically for Android devices and allows you to open, view, and edit any Microsoft Office document. There's a free and paid version. The paid version is rather pricey, but it seems really functional.

It's even functionally weaker than Documents to Go, unfortunately

I have only had the attatchment problem at the initial startup, once I change the settings I get the entire attatchment. And that is only on my yahoo account. I wonder if has anything to do with your email server settings. I haven't experienced it at all with my exchange server.
The office problem is deffinatly a big issue dor me as well, as I use office for work on a regular basis, thanks for the help on that one...

I got mine night before last, set it up in a hurry yesterday and used it while working. My initial impression: the default keyboard is horrible. My first purchase was Documents To Go. It works ok, but gosh, the spreadsheet application has its own set of issues. I then purchased a financial application and it is ok; the reason for the financial application is because HanDBase is not yet on the platform. It is quicker and I also agree that its multi-tasking is a little clunky. In addition, I really like Bluetooth syncing and call announcement and automagical answering. I miss each of those.

With the TP2. nobody heard anything from the device, as everything was channeled up to the Bluetooth headset. This device though, everyone hears it.

Am I impressed? I am more disappointed, but it is fast. Would I buy it again? No, not at its level of implementation. It seriously lacks as a business device.

I haven't had a keboard since the ppc3700, hated a keyboard. I think that there are those that are more comfortable without a keyboard and those that just have to have it. As far as a business phone goes there are some downfalls to the office integration but it will get solved soon enough, now that all of the serious WM cooks have come to this phone and the fact that this phone has become so popular it will put Android on a whole different track.
As far as bluetooth goes i hope you don't wear that thing outside of your car anyway...
