Do you ready for 4G on Android?, watch this out the new HTC EVO 4G is now ready for pre-order and will sell from June 4 via Sprint or Best Buy. Don’t expect too much from this android phone since no review found. But the HTC EVO 4G is expected to become phone of the year.
Promising isn’t?, because it is predicted to do very well indeed this year on the sales front. Just remember in the pre-order, you could bring home only with $199 on a contract deal. For without contract?, no news until now but I will let you know once the news come out.
Once again don’t forget to pre-order the HTC EVO 4G. As soon as you have this HTC smartphone in your hands please do give us out-of-the-box first impressions, software and hardware reviews, overall reviews and of course any problems you encounter.
We need to know, will this phone reach our expectations or could it be just another smartphone that will not impress at all, time will tell and we will be right on its tail to find out.
It looks like HTC has gotten fat and sloppy with its smart phones offerings
MY experience with the HTC EVO:
I read and researched all the reviews before the phone came out and they were all great reviews. I visited many of the familiar tech blogs sites such as engadget.com, gizmodo.com, etc. and they all gave the phone more or less stellar reviews. Needless to say, I rushed out and got this phone from RadioSchack. The first thing I noticed was a nagging high pitched static sound on recorded videos and anything recorded with the mike. The videos themselves were highly compressed which made it impossible to watch them on a high def monitor through an HDMI cable. What 720p? I took this phone (first batch, series 0002 ) back to RadioShack and got a new one from the new 003 batch. This one had a different color processing chip that performed worse than the one in the 0002 series. Guess what the same problems with the sound and casing resonance and the video. I took it back, got my money back and closed my Sprint account. They should deliver what they promise.
I got to thinking, how can a phone maker design and make such a complex communication/entertainment device and do such a poor engineering job where it really counts-the sound. I mean that should be the most important element of any kind of telephone. In the EVO’s case there is some bad engineering going on. For example, the speaker membrane is exposed and poorly secured to the phone. This contributes to the nagging high pitched static sound that I experienced on these two HTC EVO’s. The second bad design element is that the back cover is made of thin hollow plastic which causes the distortion coming out of the speaker to resonate and thus become more noticeable. The sound is distorted, tinny and not clear. If you add to this all the problems that this phone has been having with the SD card, the battery and the 30fps video cap, you might have to consider that this phone is indeed a highly flawed phone as has been claimed by someone out there. Of course, I also fell for the front camera with the mirrored output image, the unusable Qik utility, the YouTube utility that does not work on 3G, and the nonexistent 4G signal, but there is nothing like having a phone that you can use to make clear, undistorted phone calls. It is such a satisfying feeling to be able to make clear telephone calls. The EVO is not made for this. For those of you who must have your EVO no matter what or that have not noticed any of these defects yet, I say to you good luck with your EVO my friend.
Be careful when you read the crap put out by those overly excited and overly enthused tech bloggers out there in blog land. When they review tech equipment is as if they are getting a brand new toy for the first time so they forget to do any kind of in-depth testing of the devices that they review. This is especially true when they review the new so called smart phones.
I purchased EVO 4G and was THRILLED with all the features but alas the sound was HORRIBLE. It did not work as a phone for me. People I spoke to heard about every 3rd word. The sound fades in and out. Even using handsfree with my motorola hands free speaker there was interference and pairing problems. So I took the first one back…second one SAME problems…salesman talked me into trying one more from different shipment…what do you think! SAME PROBLEMO! Anyone know of another Android that is problem free? Thanks!
Bought a new Wildfire a couple of month ago as a business telephone however am very upset , firstly i might have about 900 contacts on my earlier XDA and was in a position to view by organisation or particular person, not so on Wildfire only by particular person which is of no use particularly with no search choice either. Android 2.2 is supposed to have search facility but not completely different view option launch date appears to differ each time . Battery fairly good approx 18 hrs medium usage. Bluetooth poor, paired with parrott automobile kit okay for day or so but will not join even by unpairing and pairing new, same problem with bluetooth headset……..any concepts can’t find anything on http://www.htcwildfireforum.com assist could be appreciated
Thanks for the Post, thanks for the fine Post. I will come back soon
The cost of the device and the ongoing plans for eBook reading is said to start at $629 plus $30 a month (for the 3G device and data plan).
I have a great deal of memories located on VCR tapes that i would like to switch over to DVD, exactly how hard is it?
