"Additional Connectivity

It's no longer just about the network! Devices have to have various levels of connectivity. But the iPhone 4 and the EVO 4G are connectivity hulks.

The Apple iPhone 4 has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, though the n is on 2.5GHz only, while the HTC EVO 4G has 802.11 b/g only for Wi-Fi connectivity. Both of them also tie in Bluetooth and GPS connectivity. And now the iPhone supports tethering, meaning users don't need a hot spot to surf the Web on their computer, instead, they can leverage the iPhone's 3G connection.

Winner: Apple iPhone 4. Additional connectivity isn't really a deal breaker, but the iPhone's leverage of 802.11n is important. "

Are they kidding me? lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo. So I, take it letting your evo share dsl speeds with 8 different devices dont count? But tethering on 3g on one device is? lmaooooooooooooooo

" Size And Weight

Smartphones are getting smaller. No one wants to be carrying around a bulky or overstuffed device. The iPhone 4 and HTC EVO 4G have made strides to be tight and right, as compact and light as possible and still blow your hair back with their functionality.

The Apple iPhone 4 weighs in at 4.8 ounces and measures 4.5 inches by 2.31 inches by 0.37 inches, 24 percent more slender than the Apple iPhone 3G S. Meanwhile, the HTC EVO 4G weighs 6 ounces and measures 4.8 inches by 2.6 inches by 0.5 inches.

Winner: Apple iPhone 4. When it comes to smartphones, size matters and the Apple iPhone 4's compact sexy frame is sure to turn heads. "

Most the engadget comments I see people begging for bigger screens.

I can't wait to see people pull their iphone out and me pull my evo out and show how it doesn't compare.

iPhone will def be coming to sprint, not this year tho. trust me. The iphone will be pushed out like the N1, next year tho folks. Heard from a reliable source and the AT&T ETF and early upgrade to iphone should also tell you.

There really arent many improvements on the iPhone year to year but the Evo (and similar phones) took huge leaps with processer speed, screen size and customizability (without having to root/jailbreak). Any comments? (and yes I was increadibly bored to do this!)

I like it (yours, that is).

Not sure if the reviewer did his homework... The EVO actually has Wireless N as well... just cant use it until froyo... 2.1 doesnt support N

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Blu...utions/BCM4329 This is the chipset for Wifi/Bluetooth/FM on the EVO.

Not to mention Android devices could pretty much ALWAYS tether...

MOD EDIT: INAPPROPRIATE METAHOR:

Translation: I think Engadget is biased in favor of Apple.

Merged "Most biased Evo v iPhone review ever?!" with "Is the Evo better than the IPhone?"

iPhone: Welcome to 2005.
iPhone 3G: Welcome to 2006.
iPhone 3GS: Welcome to 2007.
iPhone 4: Welcome to 2008.

I'm sensing a bit of a lag pattern here. Yes, a few features are new and not utilized in other devices, but the main ones Jobs likes to seem to promote as revolutionary are things that have been around for 2 years or more.
