Wow, a phone that only fits in clown pockets.

I wrote my views on the 3G system and you started a crusade of swearing against me. Congratulations. You're the self-acclaimed mobile-phone expert of a music forum. Too bad you're an ass-hat.

Daww, would you like me to call the waaaaaambulance? Cry me a fucking river. I'll take the title of resident dick vs resident idiot that makes baseless claims.

Hmm, you seem to be quite oblivious to the way things work in some countries. The EVO is basically the HD2 with Android.

Seems you're more informed than me tbo, so I'll step out. I'd like to know where it states 4G is a developed technology tho.

Originally posted by Chimney Where are your based claims then?

lulz what did I claim? Oh wait, I claimed that WiMax covers 600m people worldwide, and that Verizon already has an LTE network up and running, but not publicly.

And since I can't find any hard numbers for WiMax coverage, here is a list of the providers around the world.

Found what I was looking for

Finally got my order through. Ordering the only "bumper" until some kind of Vaja case comes out

Reeeeeeeally?

I live in the UK. Android has been incredibly well received over here. I know many people who defected from 3GSs to Desires and X10s, and not a single one of them regrets the move.

I also work for the largest mobile phone retailer in the world (6 years in September).

Your knowledge on phones is quite frankly laughable.

My HD2 is infinitely more customisable than an iPhone, and Android devices even more so.

The iPhone certainly has it's place in the market, but you essentially fabricated weaknesses in Android phones to try and sound like YTMND.

My other phone whore of the c0re. w00t

ps: Car Phone Warehouse? Can you sing too?

Well, fuck!!! How fucked up is this... I'm typing this on my iPhone, while tethered to htc's wifi/4g connection. Why, you ask?

Coz as I was sitting down on the can, fucking htc slipped out of my back pocket and flew mere 2 feet to land on it's pretty face... Which is now shattered. Imagine my heartfelt "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" scream when I picked it up. Yeah I got insurance but they have no phones to swap it with... And I have to pay $100 deductible.

As much as I bash on iPhone and it landed on the ground with or without a case, it lived through it. looks like HTC build quality sucks ass when facing gravity. Gravity:1 EVO: 0

the fail is me....

You could see that I write "talking to people" that work with such stuff. My post about the HTC is how I - personally - had experienced it.

Now. Fuck off.

That's unlucky but I have literally put my HTC G1 through things that no other phone (or electronic object) could suffer with only a few cosmetic scrtaches.

I've dropped it 12 foot on to concrete, dropped it down the loo, stepped on it (full on 3 times), dropped it out of a moving car at about 25mph and lost it in snow for about half an hour and the thing just keeps going.

Same with my HTC Kaiser/Tytn II - That thing was abused in several different countries and it's still my working backup phone.

Ben, are there any new HTC models on the horizon that I should look out for in the coming months?

That depends on what you are looking for OS wise. If you are looking for Android, I can't think of anything jumping out at me for the moment.

i'm thinking about getting the HTC EVO 4G as my first smart-phone, ever. it's either that or the iPhone, and i really don't want AT&T, especially with the poor service they have in NY.

Didn't you buy a smartphone a year or two ago? Or you took it back or something?

Do it! The EVO is awesome.

Originally posted by Chimney I'll give you the benfit of the doubt. I'm a med-school student. I need applications that can provide information about diseases, atlases and so on. Can HTC services provide those kind of apps?

So basically you want to read a book on your phone? Why make a different app for every book when you could have just one decent app (PDF Reader, i believe that its available for every major smartphone OS out there) and use that to get all the info on anything you want. PDF Reader is running just fine on my E71, and i can view all my school material on it.

Or if you would be so dead set on having an "interactive" book, a first year computer science student could code that up for you in a week or so. Thats including the time he spends sleeping, partying and playing AD&D with his geek friends.

haha so true.

Android comes with free word documents, including PDF and word readers/editors, i'm pretty sure you have to pay for an app to view pdfs on the iphone...

if you want to consume media, the iphone's good, if you want to create anything, you really need to look elsewhere.
If you really think there's an app that would provide information good enough to use for medical school you're dreaming... Android provide a number of services which allow you to interact with existing, serious media...

They are starting to target the iPhone with stuff like this, but it is still niche.

there are actually heaps of them, but would you really expect to use a 3d anatomical model on your phone in med school?

It would be the same as trying to use wikipedia: only idiots would think they could get away with it

I have the HTC Droid Incredible for Verizon and the phone is fucking awesome.

I went back and played with an iPhone 3GS the other day and the browsing experience, UI, speed, and camera suck compared to the latest lineup of Android phones.

Wait until next Wednesday though to make a choice. Verizon is unveiling the Droid X and Droid 2 on that date.

been about 5 weeks with the incredible now, and my only complaints are minor gripes about specific apps. still sort of getting used to the whole touchscreen kb thing, but the slimmer form factor and easier one-hand use are worth the trouble.

and yes, the camera is pretty damn good. 1st phone I've had that's taken usable pictures.

I knew they were starting to target them, but I had no clue the number. So good to know that the times are changing. I do agree though, don't try to do stuff on the phone that you should be doing on a full blown computer.

yeah that was my major point... I do have a few on my itouch though, just for flicking around in, but it's very wikipedia-ey... They might be bringing out more advanced ones soon, i'm not too sure, but the ones currently going around are pretty unreliable at best... and yeah, medicine in general shouldn't have too much doubt in the background

So are there any new HTC phones (AD or WM) that have slide out keyboards?

Or do I just have to get used to the fact I'm going have type using a touch screen with my banana like hands.
