So, a lot of you are most likely wondering just how good the upcoming HTC Evo 4G is? Does it live up to it’s hype, or does it leave a lot to be desired? These days, you are probably wondering how it could be bad after all, these phones are usually pretty good, right? Well, here is the quick lowdown on the new Evo. The upsides, the downsides, and all of the information you need to know before you make a decision to buy.
Upsides
First of all, the 4G works pretty well and connection speeds are quite impressive. You will also be able to connect up to eight various devices using the mobile hot-spot feature. This is not only a good feature, but it is one that works pretty well. The camera has a resolution of 8 mega pixel, which is useful for video recording, as well as for video chats. The phone ships with the Youtube HQ video player too, as well as with Android 2.1. These features work well, and you will be pleasantly surprised with how this phone performs basic functions relating to Internet and video.
Downsides
Once released, Evo 4G will be available only to Sprint customers. As far as I know there are no plans to make it officially available in Australia. There will certainly be few ‘grey’ import devices available on Ebay, but as with all the grey stuff there will probably be no warranty, etc. On top of that, none of Australia’s big carriers offer 4G at this time, so you will not be able to utilise the biggest benefit of this device. Another downside is the fact that the 4G connectivity drains the battery at a pretty fast rate.
There has definitely been some hype surrounding the HTC Evo 4G. Since this is one of the first 4G smartphones, people are very anxious to see how it turns out. It rolls out on June 4th in US, and there will no doubt be a lot of people in line to try it out. But the question is, will people be happy or disappointed with it? From all basic signals, it seems like it has a lot going for it. It is no doubt going to be the best smart phone to be released by Sprint to date, and it is also very close to being the best Android phone on the market. As far as the 4G, even though there are some complaints about the speed, it is a step up in the world from 3G, so how can you really complain about that?

I am one of these individuals that puts their entire life on their own cell phone so I got a Centro way back when and loved it- so personalized (color coding things such as calendar appointments is a MUST for me) and easy to use. The Pre came out and I was loving it… but… well… it simply lacked some ‘me’ things. So, any time I saw all that Android could do…. well I was extremely thrilled. I was blessed to have discovered 1 cell phone left in stock at a Radio Shack 40 miles away last weekend and I’ve been playing and customizing ever since.
