HTC Evo 4G looking like an HD2 on Android

I saw this on Gizmodo yesterday. At first glance, I really thought it was the HD2, only having Android loaded. Too bad it is a 4G phone, so we won’t be seeing this here anytime soon.

In theory 4G device should be backward compatible with 3G connection, just like USB 2.0 supports USB 1.X or DVD drive supports CD/VCD media.

anyhow… if ever that is not technicall possible it will take some time for this device to be marketed here, since we are in the early adoption of 4G.

I want an AMOLED :D

I think this is not a GSM phone so this won’t work in the Philippines.

iPhone pa din. mas madami ang apps. :)

I don’t think it will work here. CDMA network kasi ang Sprint just like Verizon. D2 sa Pinas puro GSM based ang network

ayan ang hinihintay kong Cellphone matagal na!!! HALIMAW!!! kaya lang wala pa sa Bansa natin yan eh.. T_T

pero from what i’ve heard my issue parin daw ang battery n2 d ko lang alam kung madali syang malowbat! nabasa ko lang kung saang forum man un!

its max of 5 devices lang pala. 4G is simply wimax, and globe is already offering that service right now. prolly before the year ends, 4G should be available to some of our phones here.

So long story short. If i buy one right now and bring it over in the philippines, will i be able to use it as a cellphone?

The downside to this phone isn’t really the camera per se since its picture-taking capability is good; it’s the video-taking feature. Otherwise, the only thing you can complain about is the battery life since it DOES run a 1 GHz processor. Not really a deal-breaker since if it was me, I would just buy a new battery instead to keep around me if I plan to use the phone extensively.

Personally, I prefer this phone over the iPhone 4 simply because:
1. It offers flash support— something the iPhone probably will never have.
2. You will be forced to live through the limitations Apple has decided to put its consumers through with the phone unless you jailbreak it— which also effectively makes your warranty for the iPhone void.
3. 8 MP camera. The iPhone 4 only has 5 MP. Which is decent, yes, compared to that brick iPhone 3Gs which does only have no LED flash or any flash whatsoever but also has a terrible 1.3 MP camera with no shooting modes.

This aside, with regards to the applications, the Android market is gaining on the iPhone’s iOS apps market. And when I say gaining, I mean it’s only a short time before they go on head to head soon.

That, and I can’t help but see and feel iPhone users as some kind of “cult” with their “uniform”— their monotonous phone that all look alike unless you jailbreak it, the fact that you are practically forced to install iTunes on your computer (which is a huge bloatware and is no way getting on my new Sony Vaio that can load Google Chrome 3 secs flat and boot up in more or less 15 secs— since a user with the same specs as my baby reported having to wait minutes for iTunes to load up!) and oh, that unless you want every song erased from your phone that you’re going to have to stick with the same computer/laptop you transferred your songs from. Not to mention that backups take up a huge amount of space because you are left with two copies of the same files with two different formats— the other from your phone with .aac and the others the ordinary mp3 files. Oh, and good luck with the identification and organization of those files if you transfer them again in your phone or your iPod Touch.

Truth is, there is a reason why Apple is seen as a domineering company, forcing its followers to live the “Apple lifestyle” (ever wondered why you can’t Bluetooth files from your iPhone to another phone from another brand or that basically everything, including your earphones that look exactly like that China-made earphones from the tourist bus in Paris or Hong Kong, have to be Apple-ified in order to be fit for your use?) and those who decide not to fall victim be criticized like self-esteem-lacking Queen Bees from school? It’s a clique, it’s a cult. It’s mass manipulation via advertising. Do your homework and you might just see what I mean.

I forgot to mention… Did I also mention that you can’t erase nor forward individual text messages nor copy or paste without jailbreaking your iPhone? You DO know Apple is against that, right? That’s why they’re voiding your warranty if you encounter any problems with your phone and you jailbroke it before— whether the problems were caused by jailbreaking or not.

Is there a possible way where i can input a sim card adapter ? How can i make this work with FILIPINO cell networks ?

too bad, we don’t have a CDMA based network, so we can just flash the heck of Sprint out of this beauty. or do we?
