First off let me start off by saying I've had a iPod Touch, the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3Gs And I still gotta a lil love for them. I've also had a Verizon Motorola Droid, Sprint HTC Hero and now I have a Evo. And let me tell you in my opinion, the Evo is AMAZING. It's fast, it's sleek and it's beautiful. The design is also great. Some people posted that HTC builds crap products. I'm not going to say I agree or disagree with that. However, I will say that the Evo has some weight to it and it surely doesn't feel as though it was built poorly.
I liked my Apple products (iphones etc.) but I always seemed to sell them. And the reason I sold them was because I got extremely bored with them. Every iPhone looked the same a black background with icons on it, that's it. With the Evo, if I get tired of the way my screens look I can change it to my liking. If I wanted to have a different layout for every day of the week, I can. It's all about customization. The only and I mean ONLY thing Apple has is the App store and that's it! The Google Marketplace may and may not catch up to the Apple App store but also keep in mind that Apple App store been out for awhile now and therefore they had a big advantage over the competitors. But unlike Palm, Google market Place is on the right track.
In addition, sure the new iphone will be disclosed in the next few days. But what's going to be that much different than all the previous models....the screen, the design, oh the camera or is it the features...multitasking, folders etc. It's all crap! I don't know how true this is but it's been stated over the net that the new iphone will have a 5MP camera, come one Apple. The Evo has a 8MP camera, auto focus and flash.
Like I said before and I live by my theory. Apple needs something to keep it's customers. So what do Apple do, they release these updates that have one feature at a time and everybody feels like it's Christmas or something (including myself when i had a my iphones). But after I came to my sense and got the Droid, I knew Apple had competition on it's hand. Android devices have been had all these features that Apple is just releasing. Specifically speaking, multitasking and folders. But now Apple may feel as though they're loosing the battle or competitors are gaining in, they want to release these features in a hope to keep it's current customers and to hopefully lure new customers.
Att just now are going to allow tethering...Wow. Is it because Verizon allows it on the Palm Pre or is it because Sprint allows it on the Evo? It's like these companies play "Keep up with the Jones" And then Att data plan is capped off at 2GB. Sprint's still has unlimited and I think theirs is capped off at 5GB. How is somebody going to tether off of 2GB. A heavy user will eat that up.
I think there will be a lot of Apple and ATT customers switching over to the Evo. Once they actually have the chance to play with a live Evo, I'm sure they'll be stunned. I let my buddy play with my Evo yesterday at work. I showed him the Sprint TV/Live Tv, Sprint Navigation and Google Navigation (both free) and he was like....**** this phone is a BEAST. And he's right...the Evo is the BEAST of all phones out right now and will still be right after the iphone 4g is released.
