As a mobile platform, the EVO 4G's Android foundation is still an infant -- well, okay, perhaps it's a tweener -- but in its two-odd years in the public spotlight, the list of truly revolutionary devices to use it has been a significant one: the G1 for being the first to market; the Nexus One for ushering in a new (and subsequently killed) retail model; perhaps the CLIQ for introducing Motorola to the platform or the Droid for bringing the company some desperately needed, long overdue success...

Well I, like millions of other people, had an iPhone. And with that iPhone, like hundreds of thousands (?) of other people in Chicago and all across the country, I was stuck with AT&T to provide my mobile "service." And you can probably guess what I thought. When you have a great piece of... Read the full review →

I've had the phone for about a week and used with the stock rom. This would be my 3rd Android phone (G1, Sprint Hero, EVO). My initial summary was that it was much faster than the Hero. Everything loaded with lag. But the major drawback was the battery life. With mild use (a few texts, calls... Read the full review →

This phone was a substantial upgrade over the iPhone 3G. The form factor is large but the benefits of the screen and the solid feel of the device are very welcomed.

Coming from a Palm Pre the HTC EVO 4G is leaps and bounds ahead in easy of use, battery life (and that isn't saying much!) and app quality. The large screen makes viewing media and reading webpages much easier plus typing on the spacious keyboard makes for less cramped hands. HTC Sense adds some... Read the full review →
