wow you guys are seriously worst than iphone fan boys.
hmm, a retina display with better cpu/gpu, better app market, better front and back camera, and overall 10x better as hardware and software (minus the ****ty at&t network) or an old outdated cpu/gpu, with a pretty bad app market, and ****ty cameras.
hmm thats a hard one. If someone figures out a way to "unlock" it to work on sprint, im jumping it asap. Unless sprint has something up their sleeves like the motorola atrix, which i doubt.
Also i never said that people should switch to verizon. Hence why i posted:
"Would this make it possible for us to flash it for sprint?"
Also hence why i said "CDMA iphone" and not "verizon iphone"

Ill pass. I got a iPod touch.

Yeah have you ever been to an Iphone forum? They act like the iphone is god's work and every other phone is just trying to copy.
I'm guessing you're comparing the Evo/Iphone.
The camera app actually has many more functions than an Iphone camera. From contrast/saturation/brightness levels to ISO levels, we have quite a bit of customization there. The camera is as good as the person using it.
We also have some camera replacement apps (as well as messaging app replacements and widget replacements and keyboard replacements... )
Retina display is all Steve Job's bs crap. No one cared about pixels until he mentioned it. Have you used a magnifying glass to read text on your phone and find all the pixels?
I'd rather have a bigger screened phone. I don't know how anyone can go from 4.3" to 3.5", lol. I can't even drop down to 4.0" for some of these new phones coming out.
Better cpu? Eh, snapdragon is fast enough on the CPU side.
GPU? Sucks...
But if you're comparing any of the newer phones such as the newer GPUs by HTC and the Galaxy line by Samsung, then it beats the iphone.
App market? We have SOOOO many more free apps... period. I rarely buy apps. The App store is filled with soooo many 99c crapps. Until recently, they have been getting priority with companies. Nowadays, many new apps are built for android/iphone both simply because of the marketshare.
Though I do commend Apple on keeping their product line so simple... they can create the thinnest phone with the biggest battery and everyone buys it.
Other companies need to learn from that. HTC pumps out new phones like no other. Phones get lost with all these random names like Desire, Eris, Incredible, Hero, Evo... not to techies, but to regular users.
Woooah rant. Fed troll. :/
The retina display is so much clearer than super amoled, or any other android screen on the market (right now)
The iphone is so much snappier than my evo, even with me running CM6. Everything on the iphone is faster. One thing i really noticed was how fast photos upload. In order for me to look at my pictures on my sd card, it takes 10 seconds to see one photo (might be exaggerated by a couple of seconds), but on the iphone you click on gallery, and the photos are there.
The app store on mac products also has apps for basically everything. Android is finally catching up..and im proud of them. However, it will take a while before they have the amount of apps that are as good as iphone. I would rather pay 99 cents for an app than not have an option for it at all.
My opinion is that a iPhone is a toy its a ipod touch really with more specs I'd rather have a phone that looks different from. Every apple product all there touch products look the same
To me that's my opinion

Heres and interesting article about the comparison between the 8MP cam HTC Incredible and the 5MP Nexus One cam.
You decide. Enjoy!

i'm surprised how much better the nexus one photos are. i would have thought the incredible camera would be better. maybe all these people will calm down now saying the sky is falling because another phone besides the nexus was released!
I'll take a 5MP camera-phone over an 8MP one ANY day. Actually, I'd prefer a 2-3MP one. The sensor is so small that increasing megapixels will only ruin the quality.
Nexus One FTW!!
The pool shot does show the 3MP difference though. But the rest was obviously on Nexus favor. So you're right, Nexus One FTW!

All the bad N1 press is really starting to piss me off. I have co-workers coming up to me everyday saying things like "so I read the Nexus One isn't so great after all". I have to remind them that all the articles are written by iphone fanboys.
I couldn't be happier with my N1 and there is no other phone out there today that I want more.
For a bit, I felt the same way every time people say something bad about the N1 based on articles they've read somewhere. But now, I just say, "Yes, go get yourself an Iphone and we'll compare it then" It aint my loss

Look at Justin's comment in that news article. I like the pictures that he took with his phone.
Maybe it was on bad settings, ya know, set lower quality, sharpness and contrast off, or a bad lense... I agree, the nexus takes fantastic photos, but let's not say the n1 is better cause of one comparison... or were falling into the same category as idiots logging the n1, I love this phone also here's my best pic, this is incredible imo....

I'm not saying the Nexus One is better than the Incredible. I just want there to FINALLY be some GOOD coverage of the Nexus One.
So far all it has been is some apple fanboy like boygenius writes about a rumored flaw and it spreads like wildfire, with dozens and dozens of blogs straight up copying the article with slight paraphrasing without doing any investigation at all. (Seriously, take a look at http://news.google.com/news/search?&q=android and you'll see the same article 30 times. The current lame article is the whole "awmagad!!!! no Vorizen Nexus One!!!! Is teh Goggle abandoning thair online-store planzzz as a faylure!??!?!??!!?!?")
I think the biggest source of fault here is Google though, for not advertising the phone through traditional means (television, radio, and in-person ads). It's easy to give bad press to a device that has no advertising to brainwash people (like apple does).
Anyway, what I took from the article is that the Incredible is better, if you take the time to adjust the settings properly to the subject in the frame. The Nexus One is better for blind point and shoot.
I'm just baffled by all the bashing and complaining about the nexus. the official Google forums is horrible with that. I've been in the smartphone world for many years now, and It's just thru th roof with all the whining. I seriously don't get it. is it just amateurs buying this phone or something?
Incredible:
- looks like crap compared to N1
- doesn't have dual mic noise cancellation
- has a weaker battery than the N1
- must have a $70/mo contract minimum instead of better options
- doesn't have trackball notifications
- AND takes worse pictures than the N1?!?! (it's one supposed "strength" over the N1)
Thank god I don't live in a place where I have to be a slave to Verizon coverage...
Oh Nexus, how I love you so

I read this earlier really surprised me. I have never used the Incredible for pictures, but just expected it to take great pictures just like my Nexus One does. They must use something different in the sensors or just better build quality. Good post!
Looks as though the N1 just came out ontop of another opponent. So far its been like this. Iphone 3gs > Desire > Incredible > EVO (or galaxy). Kinda like video game boss battles where everytime you beat a boss, the next boss is a little harder to defeat. I can't wait to see how the N1 squares up against the evo and galaxy. Even if the Nexus One does lose, it won't be by much (just like the incredible vs n1). Good times.

You got that right brotha'. N1 is still the best phone on the market today and its so perfect I can see myself staying with it beyond 2 years. Its so perfect that even if the EVO comes out I still am not jealous. I have found my phone. Its that good.

You and Paul seem like two of the smartest guys on this forum. Thanks for being's here
Love the term "future proof". I'm gonna start using that from now on
from http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/epic-4g-review
"So is it the right phone for the job? In a word, yes -- the Epic 4G is a great device. Killer, even. Nothing speaks to us more strongly during the course of a review than finishing it and saying, "alright, I'm ready to buy this thing," and the Epic is on the short list of phones that has managed to do it. More than its Galaxy S siblings, it feels like the Epic has overcome its shortcomings -- notably the forgettable UI skin -- to shine, and it's a phone we could easily imagine using day to day. Only thing is, the EVO is also on that short list for us -- and the better camera, bigger screen, and $50 savings versus the Epic still make it our winner in this 4G shootout, though only by the thinnest of margins. Needless to say, if you need a physical keyboard and you're looking for the one of the most musclebound Android phones money can buy, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it."
I've been thinking about switching over to the Epic but the GPS problems found on all the Galaxy S phones along with Samsung's bad reputation for slow if any updates make me really appreciate how awesome the Evo/HTC really is

But the Evo and iPhone 4 got the same score.
They really aren't as bad as some other news blogs out there (Gizmodo).
How many Epic threads do we need in an Evo forum? Are we going to have a separate thread for the Gizmodo review?
i played with a epic today, i wont be switching from my evo...
Engadget? -- Really? -- They're not even fully aware of GPS problems that are affecting the Galaxy S line of phones -- in short, completely disregard their reviews because -- Engadget isn't playing with a full deck -- don't let your love for HTC cloud your objectivity.
Hopefully I used -- enough.

The Gizmodo article needs its own thread actually...unlike this one..I mean in the Gizmodo article..now don't get a heart attack...only time it compared the Epic to the iphone 4 was to say that the Epic is better at it...when I saw that my jaw dropped....if anyone doesn't believe me read the article...
That said samsung said GPS will be fixed in September..so thats withing the 30 days of the Epic..so if necessary it ca be returned if GPS is a concern.
As for the Engadget review..only reason it got an 8/10 over a 9/10 was due to the 50$ extra..so its not that its a worse phone.it just costs 50$ more...

They amended the review at Engadget after talking to Samsung. The Epic ships with AGPS turned off. Once it was activated, they said things look fine.
Apparently google is requiring this to be off by default now. Must be a privacy thing, because I can't see a logical reason to reduce functionality otherwise.
Most buyers will never turn it on, and will assume their phone navigation sucks.
We see who is lurking in the background:

Considering the Epic *****ing when the evo was released about all the bone headed issues HTC still have not fixed I don't think anyone can point a finger at samsung. The Epic is slated for 2.2 in September and a GPS fix.
Without root and custom roms the EVO, for a power user, is a POS.
Talk about construction issues. Different parts of varying capability and quality. Different screens, different multitouch sensors etc its like they took all the extra parts they had lying around and stuffed them into the cases.
Light leakage, screens lifting etc... FPS fix? SD cards corrupted? Touch input lag? Grounding issues? Thank God for XDA and some updates.
The EVO shipped with far more wrong that the epic. This is coming from an EVO owner. If the worst thing wrong with the Samsung is a GPS issue that will get fixed and touch wiz lag (Which you can remove without a custom rom unlike HTC sense) then they are a few steps ahead of where we were at release.
Also it seems the 1gb of storage may entirely be NAND fixing the app lag from the vibrant and other Galaxy S devices. From Slash gear's review:
Happily, while use of the Galaxy S series was punctuated with freezes and pauses, anecdotally blamed upon the handsets’ use of an internal microSD card for their onboard storage, the Epic 4G seems generally free of such lag.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's still "Internal SD" from what I can see, we (Captivate/Vibrant) don't have the newer firmware (yet) that eliminates lag when going back to the homescreen or when opening apps.
Got a chance to compare them side by side today and I have to say I highly prefer the EVO, the Samsung has a smaller screen yet the device is bigger and bulkier than the EVO. The UI looks like something designed by a 5 year old with a box of crayons. I guess if you really need a hard keyboard the Epic would be the only route you can take but the keyboard works great on the EVO so I actually prefer the slimmer device rather than a bulky 90's esque slide out keyboard phone. I honestly can't fathom why anyone would want an Epic over an EVO but I imagine some Epic owners feel the same way about the EVO. Regardless there is not a snowballs chance in hell I would ever own an Epic over an EVO The only other phone I might choos is iPhone 4 but with it's tiny screen and lack of widgets the whole thing just seems like outdated technology, I think Apple has alot of catching up to do to win me back from the EVO/Android.

agreed, i played with our demo epic all day today, and honestly, im not that impressed. It is a VERY nice screen, but as stated all over, colors look highly over saturated, and text is grainy because of it. I am envious of the 60fps when scrolling through menus, but thats ALL. Touchwiz is a JOKE. The capacitive android buttons work when they want to, cameras are much lower quality, and the screen is smaller. MY unbiased opinion? I think the epic is better for the GENERAL public out of the box vs the evo. That being said, For us XDA people, The evo is still the clear winner. Ill take my over clocked custom rom'd up ass evo ANYDAY over the epic. GO HTC!

"Oversaturated"? Riiight. I'm guessing those true black levels are highly exaggerated too.
I am within 30 days of return date for my evo and was considering making the switch but the reviews make it easier for me to stick to the evo
With fresh Rom and havs kernel my battery life is fine and I don't really think I would ever use the horizontal hardware keyboard
If it was a vertical keyboard maybe since id be able to use it one handed
The screen is nice but from looking at the vibrant it had a blueish hue I did not care for. Additionally the pentile matrix display made text a bit tough to read from anything but zoomed in levels
Hey guys. Just thought I would post about my experience at Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. 2 of my brothers and one of my brothers girlfriend all own the IPhone in various models and 2 of them have the newest IPhone 4. I pulled out my EVO to take some pictures of the nephews and nieces and they all started asking about my phone. "Can I see that?" "Is that the EVO?" They were amazed by my phone. I showed them all kinds of things on it and they were drooling and I could see the jealousy in their eyes. The IPhone 4 is nice, but in my personal opinion I would rather have a new Android phone any day. Anyway, that's my story and if you have one similar you could share it too. Thanks HTC and Sprint for such a beautiful and breathtaking phone that makes IPhone users drool at the site of it.
Nice pretty cool story

There are some Iphone users who are in the dark about android, and once they see what it offers are hooked. But I find most Iphone users are such for a reason, they just dont know how to use other OS's and dont care to learn, or devote any time to it, the Iphone is just so easy to use out of the Box that they are happy with it, and when you show them Android with widgets and different types of alterations with each manufacturer, along with Home screen replacements, they just have that glazed over look in their eye, and thats when you understand why they bought the Iphone. To each his own.

The IPhone 4 is nice, but in my personal opinion I would rather have a new Android phone any day. Anyway, that's my story and if you have one similar you could share it too. Thanks HTC and Sprint for such a beautiful and breathtaking phone that makes IPhone users drool at the site of it.

There are some Iphone users who are in the dark about android, and once they see what it offers are hooked. But I find most Iphone users are such for a reason, they just dont know how to use other OS's and dont care to learn, or devote any time to it, the Iphone is just so easy to use out of the Box that they are happy with it, and when you show them Android with widgets and different types of alterations with each manufacturer, along with Home screen replacements, they just have that glazed over look in their eye, and thats when you understand why they bought the Iphone. To each his own.

Oh Ya and to add insult to injury one of the new iPhone 4s had the antenna issues. Dude said it drops calls all the time, but usually when he holds it like you would hold a typical phone. He said he has to try and remember not to hold it that way. Felt kinda bad seemed like he felt the iPhone 4 was a let down.
Cool story bro.

Having an iphone is like reading the same book over and over, a short book at that. Android is like having an entire library to read always something new.

Literally laughing so hard I'm crying....
God that made my day.
I will be saving this picture and copying your method of delicious hilariousness whenever i get the chance.
A few of my co-workers had the new iphone, and after seeing my evo and it's brutal awesomeness, two of them actually switched to sprint a week later just to get one.
+1 sprint
I have both... I phone 4 and Evo... My evo takes ok pics the iphone kills it, My evo has a larger screen but for some reason the iphone seems clearer, iphone has better games, and video capture seems better.. but MAN THAT SPRINT coverage just kicks a$$. oh and the evo nav and free wifi tethering. not to mention the calendar kicks butt! oh and the music downloaders.. good stuff. All in all I think I need both to make a baby so I can have the ultimate phone!
I was working at new data center being built in North Carolina for Apple (I think the data center was code named "Dolphin"). I was on a smoke break, doing a video chat with Qik, and a few people came over to see what I was doing. They were amazed that I was video chatting with my wife 1000 miles away. A few of them had Blackberry's, some Symbian, and I think one with the Iphone (3?). I was there for 2 weeks, and by the time I left I know of 3 people who switched to Sprint and got Evo's.
The only reason why iphone pictures look better is because they have better resolution screen. If you put both pictures on a pc the evo pictures look way better. Evo rocks.

No way dude don't you know the EVO is the off spring of the iphone and Chuck Norris it doesn't get anybetter. lol
I agree with a_swellguy, there are pro's and con's to each, and I can definitely confirm iPhone pictures do look great, even in low light. Sometimes my Evo pics are very blurry and noisy in low light.
iPhone's battery life is also about twice what we get, and although multitasking is quite limited you don't have to spend as much effort worrying about maximizing battery life with task killers and such. It just kind of works.
The screen thing is kind of a wash, yes the iPhone is higher resolution, but I'd much rather have the extra screen size of the Evo than slightly smaller pixels, I think the Evo's resolution is already pretty dang high as it is and plenty for anything I do.
Sprints network slaughters AT&T any way you cut it however.

I work in the cellphone industry and VERY few people in this industry use any kind of GSM (AT&T or T-mo) service, why you ask? because they suck! I work in the middle of nowhere a lot those that use ATT I have the hardest time getting a hold of them because they are out of service when my Sprint works just fine.
VZW and Sprint have the best networks I have worked on, handsdown. They also have better roaming agreements with the regional carrier to get coverage in the middle of nowhere in the mountains.
I like my EVO and I am glad I am not tied to that POS ATT network (if they really want to call it that).
I met this incredibly hot girl at the bar last night. She wouldn't give me the time of day even though she saw me arrive in my Ferrari and I was wearing a $2000 suit.
Then I was talking on my EVO and she walked up and tugged on my sleeve. "Is that an EVO" she asked? "Why, yes it is", I responded. "AWESOME!", she said, "let's go back to my place..."
God I love this phone! ;-)

First introduced just last year on the Wave, it feels like Super AMOLED was just starting to get its sea legs... but here we go again: Samsung's latest handset -- announced today in collaboration with AT&T at CES -- is the first to tout "Super AMOLED Plus" technology that features a 50 percent boost in sub-pixel count, promising improvements both in contrast and outdoor readability. Maybe more importantly, the display clocks in at a whopping 4.5 inches, besting HTC's 4.3-inch range (the EVO 4G, Desire HD, and likely the Thunderbolt) without getting dangerously close to Dell Streak territory. It's got an 8 megapixel camera on back paired with a 1.3 megapixel shooter up front, a 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird processor, and still somehow promises to be the thinnest smartphone on AT&T when it launches at a to-be-determined date. Now, the controversy: despite the name, the Infuse 4G apparently doesn't have a hint of LTE -- it's HSPA+, which means AT&T's now playing the same game as T-Mobile.
We've had a brief chance to play with an early Infuse 4G dummy unit, so we weren't able to turn it on, but we got a pretty good impression of how it feels. Basically, we came away encouraged that 4.5 inches isn't going to feel too big for practical use -- if you're accustomed to something like an EVO, you probably won't skip a beat (that's undoubtedly due in part to the fact that the Infuse seems to be quite a bit thinner). We're told the tastefully textured matte rear cover that we saw wasn't final, but we're crossing our fingers that

LOL so true so true.. I had such fun at a recently holiday gathering with my iPhone-toting friends. The frustration abounded as I was able to zip photos from the party up to Facebook/Twitter in seconds and their network dragged and dragged. As much as this froyo fiasco is grinding my gears, at least I have a solid data connection 99% of the time.
If it had a physical keyboard, I'd be intrigued. It's a nice looking phone, but I rely too much on my hardware keyboard..
One of the reasons we dont have Froyo yet too. They've been busy with this big thing.

Same here... I would be an AT&T customer but their Android phones with keyboards is just laughable. Damn the apple for being the driving force behind the keyboardless phones. They are just useless to me... nothing like banging away at a text or email without having to even look at the screen once.
What would be funny, if it came shipped with 2.1, or 2.2 when they already made the nexus s 2.3 lmfao samsung would look bad...
Edit: nvrmind it has 2.2, and probaly wont get 2.3, wow samsung announcing a new device top of the line with android 2.2, sucky!!!!

Its not shocking..Nexus One already had 2.2 and EVO came out with 2.1...its ow these things work..just cause Gingerbread is out does not mean its 100% stable..hence why its on a developer phone...the N1 got a few Froyo updates before any phone got theirs...

Im fine with 4.5 screen if they still make the phone same size as Epic.How?Epic has 0.2 inches of unused space on each side of the screen,now if they could make the whole screen as wide as the phone itself,why waste any space?I bet that sht is possible to make and get rid off 4 android buttons that nobody uses and make 1 or 2 physical buttons imstead and make them smaller.To make it short bassicly fit that 4.5 screen on our Epic- it can be done.

I sold their phones awhile ago their customer service is the worst. they also are way too expensive for pretty much the ****ty service all these carriers have just because it comes with a pretty red bow doesnt make it any better.if you are complaining about 3g speeds get wifi boneheads. all of my major downloading is done on wifi at my house. im not impressed by the phone at all it is probably our exact processor just overclocked. whoop deee dooo daaaa. dual cores will be coming out in feb that will impress me

no keyboard no thank you....it looks like a decent phone though too bad samsung made it measn they will get no support sucks to be them
No disrespect meant towards the OP but, F samsung. They aren't getting any more of my money.
Specs-wise, it's an incremental upgrade at best. We could easily overclock our chips to 1.2 GHz if we wanted to. I am surprised really, that it didn't come with a dual core ARM Cortex A9 CPU. I doubt that the camera will be much better (remember megapixels != quality).
The only thing that is really tempting is the screen, which now uses the RGB layout. Otherwise, it's not worth upgrading to. Upgrade when your phone is significantly weaker than the status quo, or else you're constantly going to be spending big.

Awesome. Very nearly iPhone 4 ppi on 4.6 inches and its SAMOLED AND its 720p. I really hope this leak is real cause I'm sold on the display alone. I only hope the next nexus doesn't do away with the sd card slot >_<
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Same. Super excited about the 720p screen. Considering my laptop is 15" and 1280x800 its quite astonishing how far screen technology evolved :\ Although apparently its still pentile but considering my Epic is already pentile I think I should be fine.
What I want:
1.5 GHz Dual Core (or even quad-core? maybe too early still)
10-12 MP Camera (There is an android phone expected to have a 12 MP camera soon, so it would be cool to see the NP have one)
720p display (which seems confirmed)
4.5-4.65" display (which is also likely)
BETTER BATTERY LIFE? (2000 mAh??!!?)
ICS will bring a huge update to the OS, but most likely UI which is cool
Anyone else agree?
Lol Galaxy S II already blows iPhone 4S out of the water:

I would agree with this for the most part. I don't think we'll see a quad-core in this guy quite yet. As for the camera, MP is only a fraction of what makes a good camera. I personally believe the camera on the Epic is pretty rock solid for a phone.
I think once you get over a 4.5" screen, it's getting to be too big for a phone. I would like to see it no more than 4.5". However, even with the lack of buttons, I'm surprised at how much 'dead' space there is at the bottom of the phone. I figured without the buttons, they would be able to utilize about the whole front as the screen. They can put the carrier branding crap on the back.
Not only would I like to see a bigger capacity battery, but I'm guessing ICS probably has some good things in it which will improve batter life as it is.
If this thing comes to Sprint, it shall be my next phone, without question!
Yeah the biggest issue being Verizon will probably be the first to get it.... My upgrade is available yet I have to wait more... /firstworldproblems

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Will someone please tell me where all these ridiculous rumors that Verizon will get any exclusivity on the next Nexus came from? Let's stack up the evidence:
1) Verizon to this date is the ONLY carrier who does not currently have even 1 Nexus phone.
2) Verizon actively refused these phones because they couldn't ruin them with bloat; a factor that has not changed.
2a. The Nexus phones aren't crazy big sellers and thus wouldn't change Verizon's decision, especially not enough to make them pay for exclusivity.
3) Google is crazy in bed with Sprint right now with Google Wallet and Google Voice being exclusive services currently.
4) Google just tricked the Nexus lines current customers into signing 2 year contracts with T Mobile and Sprint; why would they intentionally screw developers by making it so they can't get this Nexus device without an ETF?
Evidence FOR Verizon exclusivity:
1) the words "Droid" and "Prime" were once seen written on the same line of text? And there is absolutely no proof that that phone exists or is not just a bloated Nexus variant.

They seem to be sticking to the shape of the OG Nexus. Does anyone know if it will have no SD card slot and be all internal memory? I remember when people thought the OG Nexus would be dual core as well. I will wait for iron clad proof that its coming to Sprint and has at least a bigger battery and more powerful processor because that screen has got to use more battery

This was true, until Sprint went and dumped $20B towards Apple. I really hope that didn't piss off Google too much. If I were getting cozy with someone and they went and did something like that, I would seriously have to reconsider my association/partnership with them.

And I would consider that compelling evidence against exclusivity on sprint as well. The decision for which carriers were getting this was made months ago and its unlikely that sprint was talking to google about buying the iphone all the way back then.
