actually you can rack up substantial restocking fees and stuff, doing that. Not that it wouldn't be cool trying new devices every month ;).

No restocking fees or prorated charges whatsoever.
Actually returned the HD2 and decided to just wait for the Evo.
I hated the HD2 after two days. It's running on Windows btw.

Oh good! I saw your post about getting the Hd2 and i was like "i hope she knows its windows". Glad you returned it; probably not for just windows issues?

ah, right, that makes sense. Thanks. Sense doesn't do that for some reason, all websites (including mobile) seem to pinch/ zoom OK.

No, I was talking about internal memory. Internal memory is really low (comparatively) and phone won't let you store on the SD card unless you have froyo and your apps are compatible. That's where iPhone users have an advantage (well not for long ;D)

You hated it? Oh, OK. No biggy, plenty more where they came from. Tons of super-phones coming out in the near future. (Ok, not a ton just a few but how many do we need )

I didn't like the fact that I have to go to "Task Manager" to close a program. Maybe there's another way to do but I gave up trying to figure out already.
I also like physical keyboards better.
I didn't like how the browser works on this thing. It can't even load Facebook properly. (I know there's an app for that, but yeah, load the website correctly!)
It also bugged me that you can't move the shortcut icons around. And that you have to delete an icon first then go to another menu to replace it with another icon.

I still like Nokia better because of the functional Bluetooth. I hate how every other smartphone just lets you use it to connect with a headset and nothing else. I might just get an N900 (runs on Maemo)



or wait for the Orange N8

You should take advantage of the 30 day return policy and just keep buying-returning until you get the phone that you want :D

I would hold up on those Evo purchases... Looks like some people are having issues with their screens:

I saw that TK. I actually literally *saw* it on a unit.

The fact that the phone doesn't operate as well when not grounded is not a big deal IMO since you can resolve the problem by just putting your finger on the phone.

The screen "coming unglued" could be a bigger problem. Although, if you keep your phone in a case like otterbox or something similar, it should go a considerable way towards keeping your phone in the best possible shape.

What I have noticed so far is a little bit of light leakage under the capacitive buttons, same as all the reviewers. That doesn't mean the phone is coming apart, but who knows. So much for being an early adopter

[tomato]

why bother. I think this would suffice

[Altitude]

...or this.

[tomato]

Hahaha. : D

PK I think you're just jealous b/c deep inside you know I got an awesome phone ;)

J/K :)

[tomato]

Too funny. Still laughing @ smoke signals. Great joke, definitely gonna forward that one !

[tomato]

OK. So the reason I haven't yet come out and announced my choice is because ...

...


...


I have 2 phones right now!!!

One of them, however, MUST go back tomorrow night at the latest

And to be honest, I still don't know which one is going back.

I've obtained RMA's and everything, got my shipping supplies ready, backed up my data .. but ...

there isn't one device substantially superior to the other IMO. Yes, the EVO has better specs (more ROM, a bigger screen) but as soon as I think I've made up my mind, I discover a feature that doesn't work as well as it does on the N1 or whatever.

Maybe you guys should make the decision.

Is that in the browser or across the OS? I've noticed that when you scroll down through the apps, sometimes it gets stuck and you have to scroll the other way to get it going again (2 different units, same problem ). Also, in the browser, sometimes, you can't zoom at all whether you tap or pinch zoom, nothing happens. but I'm not sure if that's the browser or some of those sites running a script that doesn't play well with the phone's software. Yeah, rebooting is always a good idea.. when all else fails

the problem only happens on the keyboard so across the OS... if i try to hit delete it thinks i hit L or :-)... but i leave the phone on 24 hours a day... reboot and works great again... i have had problems with the pinch zoom but its pretty rare and only happens on google maps (it zooms in and out really fast) as for the browser i havent had that problem ... google voice is pretty cool... all your voice mail has a transcript with google voice

Joey, when you are at the google splash page, can you pinch/zoom or +/- zoom the page? Mine is stuck. Can't zoom the search results either. (EVO surfs the net perfectly, even shows you ads and stuff that N1 doesn't (on 2.1)

Maybe that's why Froyo includes "browser updates"

One thing that worries me about the EVO is that you're still limited to the phone's internal memory to store apps until Froyo comes out (unless you root? but that's not for the faint of the heart), and that's probably not gonna be for months. Internal phone memory is about the same as the N1.
