Now that my wife got the EVO I have to get a new phone(cannot be outdone by her), Can yall tell me what you think is best and why you think it is?
Pros and cons of each.
And something that has good battery life. Preferably 1 that the battery will last a couple days on, If that is possible.
I am coming from an old Samsung hue flip phone so I am not very savy on these new phones,(Actually I dont know anything about one) So give me as much info as possible on what you think is good and bad about it. Thanks in advance.
 
I have the X, Juli has the HTC Evo, I prefer the X. Battery life is about the same, but I love the apps, the largest screen on the market. And its just plain cool. Everybody has an Iphone. :poke:
 
I have the evo and love it . the only problem is battery life . I saw the new garmin phone and it has nav built in so you don't need cell reception but same battery prob.
 
They are all great phones. So don't let anyone try and tell you otherwise.

I have an Iphone 4 and had the 3g. It is a great phone and i never get dropped call or any of that crap everyone is talking about.
Apple has one major thing going for it. The apps are designed tested and run on Iphone. Using iphone sdk and then tested for security, functionality and issues by apple to work on iphone. This means your apps work almost always and are safe and secure.
Some people say this means you can't get the apps your want. Well i haven't had a need really for an app that i can't find on the app store.
Screen is amazing the quality is amazing and IMHO the best on the market.
Battery life is good for a smart phone. I use the hell outa mine and it normally lasts the day.. mind you i stream music videos and use it for my gps on a daily basis.
Great front and rear cameras for a phone
OS is designed for one phone and one set of hardware making the OS way more stable.
The touch screen is the best in the industry hands down. meaning no slide out keyboard to bulk up the phone. which means no broken hinges and cases ect.

Cons the price is high but getting better and more contracts now with Verizon. the glass screen isn't the best at durability but a case can remedy that. which sucks cause i like the way the phone feels w/o it. I use an otterbox defender.
No upgradeable memory what ya get is what ya get.
oh noes no pron app for my smart phone :)

The google operating systems are great they are really good for the guy that wants to tinker and tweek things around.
The screen on the incredible and x are amazing also great quality and such. The glass seems very scratch resistant but still a smart phone.
Lots of apps all over anyone can make them and apps are constantly being ported from other OS. making for lots and lots of possibilities.
Upgradeable memory w/in Hardware tolerances.
lots of companies carry them so prices are great on these.
Very integrated with google products.
as lots of companies are using the OS there is a regular multiple per year flow of phones coming into the market with the newest hottest fastest hardware.

Cons
apps aren't regulated really. lots of hacked , wormed, and viral issues with these due to no central processing/testing of the apps.
I dislike the huge huge screens. i don't need a 4-5" screen on my phone to much for me they don't fit well in my hands and i have large hands, they aren't comfortable in pockets either. this is my opinion.
Lots of companys use the same OS. so the opposite of Iphone. the google OS is not designed for a specific phone/hardware set up making it less stable. While all the companies try and set it up for their hardware it seems to come at a price of stability and smooth operation.
Touch screen operation is good but not great and i dislike the bulk of slide out keyboards.
plus the more moving parts the more to break.

These are my opinions they are all good phones with powerfull processors and good memory. The way my buddy who is has android phone says it... Iphone is for geeks that want smart phones and people that want to be cool that don't want to think about it. Android is for geeks that want a smart phone they can tweek and play with and for people that want to be the cool anti cool kid. The tech is getting better and better if you don't mind Big brother watching you.
 
iphone does have the best display on the market but i think in terms of a better all around phone and carrier, the Evo edges out the competition. I love my Evo as will my wife which has a brand new white one en route to her for Valentines Day :thumbsup:
 
I got the incredible and love it, so much faster than the blackberry. Battery life so so. I can get through a day, with normal usage. I wanted a iphone but got the incredible before verizon put out the iphone. Very happy with my choice. :)
 
Between like six guys at work they have eight different phones.
Your question is daily topic. I think the answer is..........
wait one year because all now will be sllllllllllllllllow !
 
I have a droid2. Love it. Im still old skool in the fact that I like having a full keyboard if I want it.

Roflmao true true true.

most of the guys i hang out with and my wife all have iphones except one guy with a droid. this is a regular topic with us and the wait one more year is the regular agreement. Apple releases their new iphone info every july on the second week btw.

I have a blackberry for work also it i hate hate hate hate hate it. terrible phone.

Thanks very much for the info. :thumbsup:
Probably dumb question but what does OS mean?
And I am thinking kinda like you, I dont need a phone with a huge screen, I want one that will fit into my pocket well and be comfy all day when walking around and working with it in pocket and need it to be kinda tuff because of the work I do.
And what is this no pron app you speak off?
And the battery life is sounding good because i wont be using mine as much as you said you do during a day, My wife took her EVO to work with her this morning and after 12 hours at work it was dead and she didnt even use it that much.
 
I get 18 hours of good use from my evo. I wouldn't trade this phone for anything on the market right now. Android is extremely stable. And there are way more free apps with android than with iphone. Now that iphone is at verizon, the reviews will get better for it. At & t killed the iphone...

Thanks to everyone that has voiced an opinion, This is a hard decision and I have got to get something figured out.:laugh:
 
I have an I4 and Karen has a HTC Xtreme. Each have there pros and cons.... But I like my I4 better then hers.... Screen quality is :thumbsup: compared to hers!
 
Check out the htc thunderbolt. Should be out soon. Will be htc 's new flagship phone. Google it. Don't know if it'll be a verizon one though.. Looks pretty cool!

Your wifes battery life should get a bit better. Most LiPo and LiON batteries will gain some strength after the first few charges.

OS is operating system.
pron = porn :) there is a group out there that think apple shouldn't restrict adult themed applications like they do. Though Ipad users will be able to buy the Playboy Magazine app here shortly.

Its funny but you end up using these smart phones much more than you think during your day. I try and limit how much i use my phone while at work..but i have tapatalk and am constantly on here reading forums...yay org for making me less productive :laugh::laugh:
 
Hehe.. tapatalk for the win!
