Just as “The King” left Cleveland the king will eventually leave Sprint, but, as for right now they own the best player in the game. The HTC Evo is one of those phones that did everything right. They took the body and hardware of the HTC HD2 and juiced it up. 5MP camera good enough? Nope, we need an 8. 1230mAh battery big enough? Nope, we need a 1500. 480p video recording good enough? Nope, we need 720. Take all those improvements and add Android 2.1 in the mix and you cause the Smartphone world to stand on their heads. If you are on Sprints network and you don’t own this phone, you should be shot.
The only real issue with this phone is the network it’s on. The 4G is only available in small areas around the country but hopefully soon that will change soon. The edges of the phone can get a bit smudgy because of the finish but beauty sometimes comes with work.
Pros:
– Fast Processor
– Large Beautiful Screen
– Solid Construction
– Huge App Store
– Front Facing Camera
Cons:
– Limited 4G Coverage
I would like to say great reveiw but you must of not have put much time in with the droid x. the droid x i will admit has horrible battery life but with task killer and watchign what your doin and turning down screen brightness you will be fine. next you never once coverd the camera or the comcorder, like you did with the evo. the UI is bland but thats how it was for the first droid, but this time they allowed us 7 home screens vs the old 3. The next thing is the processor. the processor the TI Omap 3640 hands down beats the snap dragon processor.next is the snapdragon has the worst onboard graphics out there. Also on another note the droid x comes with 8 gig internal and another 16gig micro sd card. so total of 24gigs out of box. then there is the fact of the hdmi. k i am done rambling on.
I agree with you on many of your points. This was supposed to be a brief summation of the major phones. You can do things to all these phones to make them “better”. But, the TI OMAP3630 is not a better processor than the Snap Dragon. Motorola and Qualcomm don't get along and haven't for a long time or you would have seen that processor in that phone. IMHO the HTC Evo is the best phone currently on the market, and until Motorola addresses some tiny details my opinion isn't going to change. HTC Sense UI is a thing of beauty and it's something that Motorola has a serious problem contending with, 7 panels or not. They need to make a more functional, better looking version of “Moto Blur” and install it on there higher end phones to make more of a visual impact.
yes moto blurr is pretty bad i will admit i personal dont like it. and the 7 screens is a little overkill. Sense Ui is awesome also i will admit. the hdd space out the door on the droid x is nice 24gigs worth of space right out of packaging was very nice. theres only a few things i dont like about my droid x and that is the back of the phone with the funny curve along with the camera button seems kind of flimsy sometimes
check this out also you will see how the droid x compairs to the evo with he processor/gpu http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x-…
That benchmark test is pretty amazing. The problem with something like that is that with a benchmark test you don't take into consideration the programs that are cooked into the OS It's not like a normal PC. Startup apps that are cooked in take up a smaller memory footprint than selected apps but the footprint still exists. Sense UI is a bear and in instances like that it can drag the overall performance of a phone down. Hell, anything that's cooked into the ROM does. It's all about optimisation. The Nexus One is rocking a Snapdragon and you can see how much faster it is than both phones.
well if you have a evo and what not we can meetup and do a benchmark test for sure and try this out ourselfs and not based off other peoples reviews it was jsut that the omap graphrics are great processor built into the chip
