Hurray, hit me up on qik or fring if you want to try out video chat, mrono is the name for both. Hint, use headphones, it helps alot

http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life.html
Most comprehensive list about how to save battery. These are probably the best tips. You don't need to use all, but 4 is probably the biggest saver out of all of them.

Hey there buuuuuuuudy... whats your home address?

In the same terrible situation as folks without a confirmed date. sony in my country (Singapore) just did a pre-order for SEX1. But I am waiting for operators to pick it up and offer it with contract so that it will cost lesser. Anyway, i am not keen on what the pre-order is giving.

I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - Probably going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..
JEEZ ...
Where did you guys order yours from and how much did you pay for it? (include shipping and tax) I'm looking to get one but I dont know where is a reliable place to buy it. Anyone have experience with Clove?

damn dude, sucks to be you. I mean what a decision... take a free evo now or wait a while and take a free "whatever comes next"
I'm so glad I only had the options of buying an evo or not buying an evo
I had messed with this one, but the 1 issue that would keep me from using it is you have to be connected through USB.

Sent from my Evo, using the xda app
Definitely get another Evo, unless you want a physical keyboard. I'd be very surprised if Sprint cannibalizes the Evo & Epic that quickly (before the holiday season).
I don't know what's scheduled to be released, but I'd be surprised if Sprint adds anything Android better than a non-4G, 1GHz, 3.7" screen by then.

Stuff gets stolen all the time, even phones. Sometimes, people even break windows to get into locked cars and houses! GASP!
They even have a word for it. It's called . . . wait for it . . . "STEALING!"

MY question is how are you eligible for an upgrade already? Is it another line on your account? I would say the Epic looks pretty amazing though I have heard mixed reviews on the Super AMOLED screens outside. And yeah I work at a Sprint store I haven't heard anything about any amazing new phone coming out by the holidays.

i almost got my phone stolen, some little turd stole it from my belt clip, a friend and I chased him around the projects until he was too tired to keep running, and tried to duck into his apartment building. at which time my phone was returned. thankfully with out much more hassle.
stuff happens.
to the OP. unless you were unhappy with the evo, id say get another. sorry about the stolen phone

get another evo and go buy wavesecure, its 20% off right now anyway. then try to get the same person to steal it and use wavesecure to find both, then you have two evos
This is everyone's one and only warning, Be Nice, and don't call anyone names.
I have removed the actual curse words but I'm leaving the disparaging name calling.

Only thing Epic has going for it is the Camera and keyboard... I don't like the UI at all... played with one a day ago, and it just didn't compare to a 2.2 evo sluggish really.. play with one before you get it.

maybe when it's in reference to a person.
OP: pay the $100 for the evo, sell it to recoup the initial and some of the insurance cost, and get the epic, since you're probably going to get it anyway. even though you'll have to spend $100 up front (or in your bill), you will be able to recover some of the money you initially spent on the original device. there's no use in not doing so if you have insurance. i would do it even if i had a touch pro. I sold mine for $150 a week ago. you aren't defrauding anyone if your phone actually got stolen.

Tango Video Chat App is now live

Tango has released their video chat for iOS and Android, you can find it in marketplace or at Tango.me
Might not show up in the Apple market just yet, they're a little slow.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.
So does this mean we can video chat with iPhone users as well?
Fring already lets you talk with iOS devices.
What does this do differently?
Thanks for the info, will check it out.

Just got done installing on the old lady and my evos. Video quality is much better than Qik or Fring.
Wow, that's what I have to say about the App. Its awesome, no push to talk button like qik. Way better picture quality, and its full screen. Also has a small button on the top right of the screen so you can switch cameras. I love this App, let's Tango everyone.

I downloaded Itunes to updated her IPhone, and the damn thing wouldn't even update(3G one) Took me 3 times to download the updated for some reason, and then it tried to backup her phone and itunes kept freezing. So she said i think i cant get a upgrade the the Iphone 4, so we log into he account(which takes about 3 min) her bill was 100 bucks and she had a 39.99 plan(i about pooped myself) but with all the additions(text,web, etc.) it brings her monthly bill up that high.
Man im so happy im with Sprint!!
edit: that reminds me i better uninstall that bulls!t program they call iTunes

A different kind of comparison...HTC EVO vs Chrome OS Netbook (First Entry - 2/3/11)

So yesterday i received a cr-48 from google. I about **** myself. Being one of the lucky ones i decided to start a blog that compared my evo and the netbook. What I'm looking for is ideas to do comparisons on. From simple to complex and anything in between. After a day of pretty intense use i haven't been able to find much on the basic side of things that one trumps the other on.
So shoot me ideas on what i could try to make these 2 devices do battle with. Post 2 will be reserved for things covered and things to be covered. I will try to keep up with this as much as possible and post my review and comparison at http://evovscm48.blogspot.com/

To cover:
Google Voice and Video Chat
At least give us a picture of the thing, sheesh.
How is the call quality on the netbook? I know...bad comparison. I bet the evo wins.
This gives me a great idea! I got these apples the other day, I'm gonna go out and get me some oranges and do a comparison.
I kid, I kid.

Wow, you got your Cr-48 late. I got mine 2 months ago when they first started shipping.
Have you discovered where the dev switch is yet?
Hell...I'm just happy I got one.
I just got mine too a couple days ago.
I haven't gotten one yet, still hoping to, but I've seen some other sites that say that the cr-48 has Bluetooth in it so that plus the Verizon card built into it might work for calls or voip.
