Yeah, i wish professional reviewers would review the daily functioning of the phone rather than talk about how great the colors look yet the fonts look like crap (and they don't mention that)

Or when they talk about where the power input is, they should mention how it would affects you in daily use.

Seems like all they want to do is put out a youtube review as soon as possible.

BTW the first epic i got was defective, the back button would not work all the time, and i noticed some youtube reviewers having this issue. It's not the norm. The 2nd phone i got those buttons worked perfectly.

What were your thoughts on the EVO?

I didn't care for it at first but then after i customized it With launcher pro I ended up liking it very much. but here are the bads:

1) The plastic next to the power cracked after a week of use (and i was really gentle with the phone)

2) The Camera lens sits flush with the surface you put it on, big no no, why would they design it like that ?

3) I wasn't too happy with the picture quality. but it wasn't horrible. Let's Just say it might as well be a 2-3mp camera

4) The action buttons on the bottom are very very sensitive just the tinniest touch and they get activated.

5) The device could use noise canceling 2nd mic. It tended to not understand my voice commands.

I didn't get the Epson screen and i thought the screen was really good visually. The touch was so so, the iphone and the epic have better touch hardware.

The 30 fps limit didn't have any negative effect on my experience.

Hope this helps.

Okay, it turns out RadioShack had one this morning. So I took the opportunity.

I love it so far, and most of those I can deal with.

Yeah, i think i'm going to end up getting the Evo even though i returned it. A silicon cover should take care of the lens issue.

If you're not familiar with appbrain.com it's great, let's you download and install over the air apps from your web browser.
