Re: Is anyone going to get the new HTC EVO
 

no way the first 5" 4g win7 ppc i'll get... for sure. EVO is nice, but droid is pretty much as proprietary as iPhone. I'd rather just dual boot with ppc. maybe a win7/droid/wm6 dual boot setup in my future? that would rewl.

Re: Is anyone going to get the new HTC EVO

Re: Is anyone going to get the new HTC EVO
 

pre-order @ radio Shack earlier.. gotta love their free $20 bonus just for doing it through them...

I preordered at best buy yesterday. They called me and said they were getting a ton of preorders and wanted to know what time I thought I would be in to pick it up on the 4th. lol

Rumor has it that off-contract is $600 at best buy ($450 from Sprint). If that's the case I'll tell them to shove it out their ass and just go to the Sprint store and get it on release day.

I was very interested until hearing about the $10 premium data add-on required for 4G. That's enough to turn me away. I'll wait for whatever hotness HTC delivers for the Windows Phone 7 launch.

Thats definately an opinion... Android is basically just another app device isn't it? I understand it runs on a linux kernel, but I think you are pretty much stuck with whatever amateurs decide to code for google. (do they have an apple like toolset with limited function?)

With wm7 there will be a ton of professional developers along with the rest of the coding communities that are long established that will make great games and programs (not apps) for the device.

There is alot of speculation about wm7 and compatibility with older os, if its going to be a cut down os like iPhone and android, but I think when it all pans out we are going to have a better device than both droid and iphone, and I can't wait to play some xboxlive stuff while commuting etc...

wm phones have always been way more functional with many more choices than any other phone, and I dont see that changing any time soon. Try dual booting your android device.. maybe its possible. I haven't looked at the droid forums to see if their devices can run wm... but you can do it the other way.

It is also more likely that the development community will code wm for android vs the other way around in the future.. but my speculation on this one could be way out in left field.

Google is "the man" anyway and you have the gestapo of apple not very "choice" if you ask me....
