EVO not WORTH the switch - Page 8

The Android users are the ones who do not understand what you can do and not do with the tp2.

SM is a must and it will be years before they get it on Android.And for the last time i said nothing bad about the EVO other then it is not worth the money to upgrade your plan if you have a great old family plan.

But to attack my typing is so old school all i can say is **** OFF

But Android does not support it yet and that is a must for me.All im saying is it is not worth the switch from a good priced plan.

just curious you say if it had sling box you would be ok with having a evo but clearly here the evo does have the ability to have sling box http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq8EA7bNB60. not trying to come at you in a negative way , trust trying to help you see the beauty that you have with the HTV EVO lol

I totally agree, its very childish. Stay on topic and discuss the argument posted, not how well the OP types or spells.

just my opinion i dont know if anyone else knows but pretty much all the applications i use on my touch pro 2 i have found for the evo in the android market even the ones where you can tether for free and some that i didnt even have for my touch pro 2. everything you have on your touch pro 2 you can find in some way or form in android market even apps for your on screen keyboard and 90 percent are free lol so if you look at it like the At default the android is at par if not a birde compared to the touch pro 2 ( golf term for those who dont know lol)

different storkes for different folks. this stuff is really kinda breaking the community in 2. and ive been as much a part of that as anyone. its worth it for some and not for others. i suggest everyone at least try an android phone. not the tp2 port cuz that isnt good enough to form a real informed decision in my opinion. try one for a week and see which is better for YOU, your tp2s will forgive you i promise.

and sorry to get off topic but you slingbox guys, come on. what televsion show could be that important that you wouldnt even consider another phone because you cant watch tv on it. pick up a book for goodness sakes!!!

Slingbox to MANY like me is real important.When im not home i can watch the baseball game...When i was on vacation i could turn it on and watch my local home weather and tv.Its cause you do not understand the sling...

But it has been the best app for a phone ive had for years now.

You know, it's funny. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE to read (unlike my 20 year old son)

I wouldn't be at all surprised if I read more than anyone else on this site.

That being said, I use Slingbox all the time & like it enough that I will definitely hold off buying ANY new phone unless it supports it. I have the TP2 set up so that when I stick it into the dash bracket in my truck, it automatically connects to both my 7" DVD/NAV screen and/or my rear DVD monitor. I watch CNN News every morning on my way to work.

I LOVE being able to watch HBO on demand on a long trip, or I can stick the Disney channel on to keep my 9 year old daughter quiet for hours.

My son & I caught a GreenBay NFL playoff game last year while I drove him 4 hours back to his college.
