I have an EVO!

---

So I bought a EVO from a I/O attendee (much cheaper than they are going for on Ebay)... if anyone has any questions I'd be more than happy to answer any. I have no 4g, but I'm at work right now which is right next to Google, so I'm going to go out in a bit and see if I can latch onto the Mountain View 4g network...

First impression: Wow this is big. I never played with a HD2 in person or anything. I find it big enough I have to strain my thumb to reach across the screen for one handed operation... It's pretty fast though, my Hero is O/C'd to 768 and it is noticeably slower.

Some pics from my Hero:

These one's are big, and next to my ZuneHD.

Awesome. It doesn't come with a SIM slot right? I don't think so but I figured I'd ask. I can't wait to get it. I want to go into Radioshack and see if they can give it to me earlier.

3 main questions

1)screen toughness compared to hero? the hero has a beast of a screen,

2)is the onscreen keyboard noticeably better? hero screen is unusable imo in portrait with my monster hands

3)general fluidness of senseUI on the EVO? on a scale of buttery goodness from winmo(1) -> iphone (10) how would you rate it? Stock hero IMO being a 6-7

*realize possible flameage from winmo supporters... um... think of something not smooth in the mobile market like a G1 or somehting*


also after you get some time, real life battery consumption based off useage

Can you tell is about the battery? I have read that it uses the same one as the touch pro 2 which is the same one the hero uses. It would be great If it does.

I don't see any SIM slots, though where the MicroSD slot can look like one a bit, but the SD card is working, so i'll assume that's not a SIM slot

Not sure to what you mean by "toughness", I'm guessing scratch resistance? I'm not sure yet, I've been babying it to say the least, and going to put a screen protector on as soon as I can. Though it has the same feel as the Hero.

It is easier, but I have been making mistakes. I don't think it's perfect but it is more usable.

Well I'd rate the stock Hero at a 5, O/C Hero at 7, and this at 9. Always room for improvement.

Well it's charging right now so I don't wnat to pull it out, but my Hero one laying on top of that one, it looks to be the exact same size. Once charged, I'll swap them around and see if they work the same.

What's in the box with it? I don't think I've seen anything about what it comes with.

Ok, so the batteries fit, and they both work in the opposite device. That's awesome as I have multiple batteries for my Hero!!!
