Derek says: “don’t live in a 4G area so paying the extra 10 bucks was stupid for me”. And, how much more are you paying for your iPhone at AT&T? Why is it so many people are complaining about the $10.00 fee for the EVO (for the record, I don’t like it either) but this is less than AT&T or Verizon charges for their smartphones. Plus, Sprint doesn’t charge for features like Visual Voicemail, GPS driving Directions, Unlimited Data, and Unlimited Mobile Calling

Hey listen u ol pigasses.. Though it doesn’t disturb u d whole day but my frnd told it’s battery life too short, it doesn’t manage to work d whole day if used normally nd it’s gamin is not as gud as apple has like GTA , NFS , etc., but as a business fone it’s gr8… Nd it is vry flexible wid no restrictions on downloading which is gud (but it can lead to attack of viruses on fone). So ol in ol it’s totally a personal choice so no need to fight nd waste ur time nothin gonna happen wd ur fight ohkk… So u al stop fighting nd do something else ok…:-|

I have and use an HTC Evo 4g every day. My mom and dad both have one as well. The are amazing phones, and by no means too big to fit in any regular sized pocket and be comfortable in that pocket in any position.

the dimensions of the two phones:
Iphone 4: 4.5×2.31×0.37
htc Evo: 4.8×2.6×0.5

that’s a total of .3 inches both directions…barely even noticeable, the evo just makes much better use of the size that it has and uses more of it for the screen.

I’m trying to have an intelligent conversation here, please look up stats before you make comments on here, we can go back and forth all day, if people commenting here are going to ignore the facts there’s no point of even looking at this stuff.

You do realize that the Evo has the same Snapdragon processor as the Incredible, has the same camera as the Incredible(except 720p recording was enabled out of the box). The Evo also has an HDMI output to output the 720p recordings to HDTVs. There’s the 4.3″ TFT screen that makes web browsing a pleasure(oh, and it can be seen outside unlike the Incredible’s AMOLED screen). Wifi Hotspot that supports up to 8 devices wirelessly compared to the 5 devices supported by the Incredible.
With regards to the waste of money, you still get to use Sprint’s expansive 3G network that is bigger than AT&T’s. Not only that but Sprint and Verizon roam on each other’s networks so that negates your small network argument.
Finally, you’d pay more for a comparable plan on the Incredible with Verizon than you would for the Evo’s service plan and you would not have the benefit of 4G.

Hey seiggy,
I think Jason is another guy who where’s those really tight jeans and has small hands, he cant handle the Evo, Come on Jason, you act like the damn thing is a 40 Inch flat screen tv…Drama!!!!! the iphone is girl-y, man up dude!!!!!

Wow!!!!! one excuse after another for the iphone

“But iPhone has some restrictions of downloading songs ,etc., but dat r also in favor of the phone which makes it virus free”

That’s has got to be the lamest thing I have ever heard, That’s kinda like having a fast car but you can’t drive it fast, they tell it’s because you might get bug splats on the front bumber, and you buy into it!!!! like a virus is a common problem on smart phones, gimme a break!!! I’m just saying it’s funny to hear the different excuses for the iphone’s inadequacies….

Seth….Your a jackass, I’m not gonna waste my time going to Verizon, Cause for 1, their plans suck! on sprint, I pay 69.99$ + $10.00 for everything, voice, data, text, and MY MOBILE TO ANY MOBLIE.Does verizon got that…NOPE!!!, so what about the Snapdragon, you act like you something about it to even have an opinion…. Snapperhead!!!.Look around you numb nuts, your all by yourself!!!!.
This guy..”Go to a verizon store and look at the phone yourself”…I don’t give a f#$K, I own a Evo with a bomb ass plan Seth, Maybe if you had some man hands you would like the EVO too, but I understand!!!!!!!
And…You and you lame attack on the 4g network, Verizon doesn’t even have one, Shut up about it already, you said a it was a waste of money, really???? even with my extra 10 dollar 4g charge, I’m still paying less than a TRUE UNLIMITED plan with Verizon..STUPID!!!

I have looked at and held a droid incredible. Two completely different device s. The incredible feels cheap and has a small screen. Other than that pretty similar. Except price plans, verizon is very expensive.

If you are going to compare sales, apple has one device for all these apple fans to flock too. Android has tons more styles to choose from. Now anyone care to tell these apple fans how many androids are sold every year compared to apple. For the evo to do so good when other carriers have android devices almost as good is amazing. just sayin.

seth — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:53:02 +0000

The point is…why the hell did the droid incredible lose to such a peice of junk on the pole if its esentially the same phone as the evo and the evo is kicking the iphone’s ass on votes??? Doesnt make alot of sence!!!

P.s. i worked for AT&T for 4 months…the iphone 3, 3G, and 3GS were all junk phones cuz you could not imagine how many calls myself and my co-workers got because of the iphone not working properly…and then they call in to buy the iphone 4….yea thats not pure stupidity if ive never seen it before.

Do you think that because IPhone sell more than Evo, the Iphone is better? ur wrong, IPhone only win because have good advertising campaign and people who bought that, did it for fashion, IPhone is something like catchfools whereas the people who bought Evo, do it for specifications, because are people who know about technology and got no problems downloading songs and applications that can make it better, whatever I prefer technology to size.

The reason why the HTC Evo is beating the iPhone 4 is because android fans are crazy on these sites because they have to try and get it out there that the android device is good and catching up to the iPhone. I had the HTC Evo and now have the iPhone 4. They are both great phones. I thought the HTC Evo was a little too big and I don’t live in a 4G area so paying the extra 10 bucks was stupid for me. So I switched to the iPhone 4. I love it and I don’t have the antenna issue because I am in a great area for AT&T. No complaints for me on the iPhone4, but I know there is an antenna issue. I put cases on my phones all the time and have the bumper on my iPhone 4. I don’t think you can say one is clearly better than the other because all of you android owners have not seen the screen on the iPhone 4. It is truely amazing when you are watching videos and looking at pictures.

Hey dumbass! Go to a verizon store and look at the phone yourself…your an idiot….it does have a front facing camera and all that othet bullshit you just typed for no reason…so stop talking from between your legs…it stinks in here now

By: seth

seth — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:54:35 +0000

Maybe “all these ppl” who are voting for the evo should acctually go and play around with a droid incredible….instead of just looking at specs and pictures….just sayin, cuz ive played with both phones and other than design…they are the same ” just like the hero and the original htc droid” so think about it

By: seth

seth — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:48:07 +0000

Uh…lets see…cuz sprit has a verry small 4g network….thats not even worth using right now till more phones can use it as well…so its a waste of money in the first place.. plus the incredible got the 1ghtz snapdragon processor that the evo didnt…sorry to say to all you sprint fans… but other than that, they are essentially the same phone

Why are all of the top phones in one division?!

@ tekkitan -I think u r takin iPhone 4 a toy. Hav u ever u used it, saying nythin doesn’t affects it’s sales. Evo 4g is just a waste of money that huge screen is so irritating in pocket. Nd many of iPhone haters just like u hate iPhone bcz u might think ohh it’s beyond my budget. It’s built quality is d best. And htc desire is more more sensible and better then evo atleast it doesn’t disturb all the time in pocket and it has android too if 1 likes android too much. It’s only a matter of choice. Buy 1 evo and cry after saying ‘ohh God it’s too big where should I put it , I might have bought a desire’. Everything should kept in mind before buying any phone. U dumb.

Sucalakafufu — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:48:07 +0000

wait the iPhone selling a lot shows that its the best? did i miss something here? because most of my friends who want or have an iPhone4 think its the best even if I told them about a phone that is faster than their MacBook Pros…

tekkitan — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:39:23 +0000

Hey dummy, just because it is a 4G phone doesn’t mean it won’t work on 3G. Therefor, it is not “worthless”.

Android phones have everything you mentioned with the iPhone and more, and have had it for a lot longer. You people just jump on the bandwagon of Apple and gobble up every single device they put out as they gobble up the money you throw at them.

Maybe Apple did sell more iPhones than the EVO, but did you see how many were owners of previous generation iPhones? Around 80%! That is bringing in hardly any new people to the iPhone. Now look at how many people bought the EVO, then look at how many people dropped their iPhone 4 on eBay or returned it, then bought an Android phone.

Apple is done, it was only a matter of time before people realized that they are behind in the smartphone market and Android offers (and has for some time) everyone the features iPhone 4 put out like it hasn’t been done before.

Keep buying iPhones, sheep.

WTF… Evo 4g is in lead by thousands of votes.. Dats so sick…. Evo 4g has no use in many countries like India , etc., where there is no 4g network and 4.3 inch display is too big for a phone it’ll uncomfortable to hold ,uncomfortable in pocket ,etc nd it’ll disturb the hole while in pocket . Where as iPhone is truly advanced nd user friendly , it has gr8 display , gr8 camera(don’t go in megapixels) it’s so clear , world class apps (gaming , lifestyle, etc.,). If u think I m sayin nythin wrong den just see the numbers dat iPhone managed to sell in weekend. Evo can’t touch dat no. In a month. But iPhone has some restrictions of downloading songs ,etc., but dat r also in favor of the phone which makes it virus free. Nd d antenna problem has also been rectified by the bumper wat else u need more out of it ? Evo is also gr8 but not too good as iPhone. Think again. Before voting for evo.

Let me type what the DROID Incredible doesn’t have that the EVO does:

4.3 inch display
3G/4G8
8 megapixel with Auto Focus and 2x LED Flash, 1.3 megapixel fixed focus front facing camera
Hotspots up to 8 devices

Oh yeah, can’t forget the most important one….
The now network on sprint!!!!

This voting is open to everyone, iphone users, android users etc…If the iphone was better, trust me you would see it in the votes. The Evo is 4g, just because it’s not in every city yet doesn’t make it “bogus”,wait until clear spreads it like wildfire.
The DROID INCREDIBLE could build a tree house on a 4g tower and still not get 4g.

P.s I support any Htc device, just don’t talk out of your rear end!!!

Seth, YOU are retarded. Of course the Evo beats the iPhone. The DroidX and Incredible are nice phones, on par with the Evo, not saying anything about that. But you point fingers at the network??? You are misinformed. AT&T is only ousted as the WORST carrier by T-mobile, their bed-buddy. Who cares if the forth-coming HSPA+ network is faster, WiMax is fast enough. Coverage? I get free roaming with Sprint. I can get on any network any time without incurring charges. Beat that! iPhone is not as good of a phone – sure the screen is beautiful, but its tiny. And like the speed of the network (and 3G vs 3G, Sprint is faster – a friend and I tested speed iPhone vs Evo side by side), good enough is good enough. I don’t need a diamond studded phone that does 2 things. I need a good looking phone that does everything I want it to. Evo, or phones with similar to better specs WIN.
