Goodbye, EVO 4G LTE.
How I loved you. I loved being one of the first people to use Sprint LTE before the official launch. I loved your kickstand. I loved your physical camera button, and great quality 8 MP pictures. I loved your Sense 4 and then later 5.
I would have stayed with HTC if they hadn't gone the "Ultrapixel" route. The M7/M8 are very sexy units, but no amount of marketing could make me lose 4MP - I do sometimes make large-ish prints off my phone camera, after all.
I would have gone to the S5 if Sprint hadn't blocked Employee Referral plans from it during launch. I really despised the interface and physical design, so I held off.
Ultimately, I found a phone that fits my needs - I went for the LG G3 with its laser-focus 13 MP camera, quad-HD display, and 4K video recording capabilities.
LG G3's Sprint Spark speeds are 4x-5x the LTE speeds I got on the HTC EVO 4G. Plus, the reception is amazing compared to the lackluster reception I had on the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
I didn't recycle the EVO, however. It will retain life as a Wifi-only hand-me-down device. She still is in great shape due to the case - although it has some severe rub marks on the rear of the phone from the case. No scratches on the glass, either.
Thanks everyone for your support on this device. She is still a good phone, but I think it's time to move on the Sprint Spark for the much,
much faster speeds!
