0.56 inches versus the EVO's .5 inches. What are my fellow EVO owners' impressions on the Epic? The thickness was the only thing that caught my eye. I'm pretty leery when it comes to non-BlackBerry hardware keyboards.

I'm glad the evo is as thick as it is, any thinner and it would hurt my hand to hold it.
It looks like an interesting phone, reminds me too much of a PSP though. Though after having this big of a screen I don't think I could downsize.
The Moment was only (an average of) 4mm bigger than the Hero in each dimension and yet the Moment felt like a brick compared to the Hero.
It is amazing what a few mm will do, and don't forget to compare the weight!
Is this the "Galaxy S Pro" with a new name?
Will anyone be moving to this Samsung phone?
Do phones like these force you to use the physical keyboard?

Very true. The weights are:
EVO - 6 ounces
Epic - 5.46 ounces
I like that phone from what I read about it. I carry two phones, EVO and TP2, I think I will replace my TP2 for this one...out with WinMo for good

Why exactly do you carry two phones? Corporate phone?
It is pretty thin due to AMOLED, impressive technology.

Yes.
Not me, but that is a personal preference.
No, you are not forced to use it. If you don't slide open the keyboard then the on screen keyboard will show.

Yes this is the biggest reason for the fact that it is barely any thicker. AMOLED means they need no backlight and super amoled with the touch screen built right into the actual screen means it's even thinner than normal amoled. This should save about 3mm right there.

I had no idea what a difference AMOLED made. I wonder if they will have shortages like the Incredible. I'm guessing that it won't be as bad since the Epic is coming straight from Samsung.
Has anyone heard if there will be a $10 charge for the Epic too, since it has WiMax? I would imagine so. Not that I'm interested in getting it, just curious if anyone has heard anything for sure.

What do you guys think about this? Would you trade your nexus one for it?

Um.. unless it has a better processor, then.. I think I'm ok with my Nexus One.
Kinda ugly. I'll stick with my N1 for the time being. I can't see a phone topping it for a few months.
is that really what its gonna look like?! that looks like ****!

why cant they put dual snapdragons in one phone?!!?
Isn't that just an artist's rendering? I don't see any capacitive buttons. Not digging the look either, but the keyboard looks superior to the Droids.

like dual core or a pair of snapdragon processors?
dual core is coming within a year. a pair of the processors like the N1 has in one chassis would set the phone on fire and have terrible battery life.

Yeah it was just a theory...Engadget did a thing on it
this thing has been going around the web for like a year now. being called the google phone the tmobile this and the sprint that. Anyway i think its fugly. keeping my N1
if what you say is true, then i guess no one will consider upgrading coz the new phone looks total crap...
Oh god, not that thing again. It's not a Nexus Two.
And it mings.
Seriously all these phones with the keyboards and D-pad need to have the D-pad on the left, it just dont feel right on the right hand side lol
its like playin the playstation with the D-pad on the right hand side, just wouldnt feel right lol
i for one would appreciate a physical keyboard. but it better come with something else too. like more ram, a better processor, or a tilt screen.
Im good with my nexus, we haven't even begun to find out what are the capabilities of the nexus yet.
That's quite possibly the ugliest phone I've ever seen. Sticking with my N1.
that looks like a droid 2... yuck
Glad to see HTC finally acquired motorola's design team.
Well, trying to make things positive..
Maybe it is simply a mockup, and the final design will surely be different?..
Just wondering how thick it's going to be compared to the Iphone.
My friend keeps saying my Hero's clunky cause it half a milimeter thicker than his sh!t iphone.
Yes, he's jealous my LWP's
It's still .03 inches thicker than the iPhone 3GS.
Here is a site to compare:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-EVO-4G-phone-size-compare-pc_4382.html
Your friend can feel the difference of .5mm? hmm makes me wonder what else he can feel that small? LOL
Sounds like some kind of envy...
Anywho...Of you have held a phone in a slider case like an INcase of Casecrown slider case then you will get a sense of what it would feel like. Go to Tomobile and hold an HTC HD2 and then think of a rounder back. It's not much difference. I think it the larger back will actually give it a better feel.

I had a flexishield on my hero, and he though that was the actual phone, and then we laid them side by side without cases, and kept running his finger a long it. he wouldn't settle that they both where about the same.
Let alone to say he thinks that the iPhone has a better processor than the N1.

my apple friends are soo annoying sometimes and they dont even own iphones >_< ooh all these companys are copying apple, apple was the first, the nexus one is copying the shape of the iphone and the look, they revolutionized it bla bla bla
my nexus one has a faster, better looking, they werent the first touch screen and even if they were Ford was the first car but an Audi is a million times better, if anything iphone is copying everyother phone out there by adding multi tasking, copy paste, video camera, and compass while other phones had that for years
i dont hate the iphone i like it, its a nice device with a great appstore, but the iphone owners can be a bunch of arrogant douche bags >/

At some point you have to just BEAT HIM j/k. I understand that some people even if you tell them they are standing out in the rain they will tell you it is just a few sprinkles.
other than the unreleased hummingbird, isnt the snapdragon currently the fastest processor available?
prove me wrong?
Looking at the specs of the iPhones new screen... are people really holding their phones THAT close to their faces? EVO 4G... You can keep it at a distance and still see EVERYTHING clear and sharp... I dont get it?

i hate to be a hater but damn it's kinda fun
Mine works perfectly in hand with no tinting issues. My Evo on the other hand, pretty much hit every issue like it had a grocery list and didn't want to miss anything.
So if you hold the phone in such a way that you would never naturally hold the phone, then it gets a somewhat diminished signal? How horrible.
the screen issue is bad if it is common. It doesn't appear to be universal.
nice. i'm happy you don't have to deal with two ****ty handsets in a row... that'd just be terrible.
but hopefully this news will soothe the unease some evo owners have right now. even the infallible apple runs into qc issues

How are you getting along with the smaller screen? Were you an iPhone 3GS user before the Evo?
treo 700p user before the EVO. but i relied on an ipod touch for a lot of things and no, i cna't go back to that smaller screen
Interesting. Since the sides of the iPhone 4 are the antennae, when one holds it against his body he would also be electrically conducting part of the signal, and thereby affecting that signal somehow.

If the phone in the video is representative of a lot of iphones, then that is pretty bad.

I met my friend tonight with the new iPhone 4. I am very impressed with the quality and feel of the product. Screen is awesome. My Evo looks huge next to it. Like abnormally mutant-like large. Every phone feels tiny to me now. My friend said that it looks like I have a mini iPad.
Apple was planning to use us as an Antenna for the Iphone and give us cancer!!
Greetings All,
Just wanted to share some pics of the HTC Evo 4G and the Motorola Droid X side by side. The pictures were taken from a Samsung Captivate. These are two high end Android base smart phone and they both looks lovely, but I know we all have our views. Like which one looks more sleek, more sexy, more refine. let the opinions begin.....
Damn tough choice, I like both form factors. I would need to borrow a Droid-X for a while to really see lol. After closer inspection Evo all the way!
I actually HATE the look of the droidx. I almost never say thar about a phone. Honestly the Microsoft Kin was seeker then the X.
I like the way the camera looks a little, but the asymmetrical thing is a dealbreaker.
I love my 4g to death. It felt like heaven fell to earth when this handset dropped on Sprint, because I already had a contract with them.
I think most reviewers of the phone don't know how to manually focus the evo4g's camera. It takes better pictures then an iPhone4 I think, despite the crappier sensor (by some measures).
The one thing about the Evo that I would gripe about is the ****ing keyboard. Oh man is it a POS.

The sensor of the EVO is not crappier than the iPhone 4 sensor. In fact the EVO is better at taking pictures outdoors, but the iPhone 4 takes the cake for indoors. My (twin) brother has an iPhone 4 and I took a ton of pics to compare. The EVO wins easily if the picture is taken outside.

This is a little tangential, but what is that EVO running?
Looks like ADWLauncher but with Sense clock/weather and stock lock screen.
Anyone know?
I was going to hold out with verizon and get the droid x instead of the evo. Then I broke down the math, and even with early termination fees verizon couldn't come close to sprint on a per month basis even with the extra smartphone price on the evo (we have several smart phones on the family plan). After seeing those side by side pictures I am definitely glad I switched. The evo form factor is already bigger than I would prefer (but man do I love this screen size) and the droid x actually appears a bit bigger. To have basically the same screen size with a larger form factor would have annoyed me if only a little bit. The evo is already a monster on a belt clip with a work blackberry attached. The batman utility belt jokes are getting old, but the phone isn't.
Maybe beautiful widgets for the clock

I'm appalled by the Droid X. I can't believe they didn't refine the design any more than they did. From the huge hump in the back for the camera, to the row of buttons on the bottom/front. That is one device that I would not use and I'm really surprised THAT's what they come up with as their current gen offering. The EVO is already an obvious choice over the Droid X (IMO).. Motorola is gonna get smoked by the next HTC offering.
