Sprint Phone? Evo 4G? Blackberry?
What's the deal homeslices? Any recommendations? My wife has the Evo 4G and it's awesome but its freaking giant...Can blackberrys do the same thing with less BS? It just seems like she's carrying around an ipad in her pocket... What does anyone, everyone, recommend?

I have been with my Pre since launch. This is probably my 5th Pre too because they were made like shit early on, but I really do enjoy the phone's size, sleekness and functionality.
Somehow I convinced Sprint to upgrade me at no cost but they just wanna give me the Hero. I'm going to see if I can just pay the difference and get the EVO, but I agree it does look rather lumpy.

I have played with the EVO and I really like the hardware. I don't really care for HTC Sense UI but you can get more of a stock feel by using another launcher like ADW.Launcher or Launcher Pro. The only real complaint that I've heard about the EVO is the battery life. If there is a way to shut off 4g, I'm sure that it would save the battery a lot.
My opinion of Samsung devices are that they are shit. They look nice but usually feel like cheap plastic toys and they perform poorly. But that is just my opinion. I don't know about the Epic, but the Galaxy series is plagued by poor GPS reception.

I just emailed the district manager so I'm hoping to get a response. Really would prefer the EVO than the Hero. I give a fuck about 4G cuz I am not paying extra for that.
Its only $50 more than the EVO....Here is my deal right now, I'm quitting the family business and moving to Texas, our company phones are cheap little bullshit phones with a local provider. My dad always thought a phone should just call people and thats it, so I'm losing the Zack Morris and upgrading to 2010... My wife already has the EVO through Sprint so I'm upgrading and for $50 more I can get the Epic...

An app that extends your battery life.Trademark wrote:360 wrote:I have an Evo. It's pretty good. The screen is big, the 4g only activates when I am in a large city, and the battery sucks unless you get a battery saving app(that's the case with all smart phones, though).
what's a battery saving app?

my boy got an epic.
he loves it.
i got a droid x.

dont have all those faggotty social apps running in the background of your phone that need to use data to update and the battery life should be decent to good.
also, you can get some good how-tos for your phone from androidforums.com.
froyo doesnt appear to be all that.

EVO battery life is only bad if you live on your cellphone's internet. I don't spend upwards of 5 minutes on my browser because of how fast it is. What I've found to be one of the largest battery drainers are the 7 different homescreens. With a 3rd party home launcher like LauncherPro I can cut down that homescreen count to 4. All I use anyway is a screen with Favorite Contacts, a screen with my Plume (Twitter) widget, a screen with a widger that combines all of my social network news feeds, and a screen with switches for phone services like Wi-Fi, Bluetook, 4G, etc.... Those extra three homescreens just drain life if you have widgets that constantly update on them.
Also, avoid task killers. They do more harm than good. Only use it for a force quit if an app locks up. Most services will re-open as soon as you force quit them. This means your phone is just constantly draining battery by closing and automatically re-opening shit.
Android markets are pretty extensive and their "all-free" markets are cool, too. Try out this modded market called APKtor. It's a modified Aptoide market with the same concept of repositories that keep a list and server filled with paid apps that you don't need to pay for. Just find a list of repository links, put them in APKtor and BOOM! Free apps without having to connect to a computer.
