EVO users: what do you think of the size?

---

Do you find that it is too big? I know that seems like a silly question... but I thought I would ask before I get mine.

I haven't had a chance to hold one, or an HD2 either (similar size)... I've only held a demo HD2 that was attached to those pull cords and it was hard to tell with it attached to that thing..

How does it fit in the pocket / hand?

For me, the size is great. It actually fits better in my pocket than the Verizon Droid, which was also given to IO attendees. Sure it's not as compact as the Hero but the quality of the screen and size more than makes up for extra space it takes up in my pocket. It fit in my work pants and jeans just fine, I wouldn't go back to a smaller screen.

wait, so I/O attendees got the verizon droid (incredible or original?) *and* the EVO, or did they get to choose or something?

Thanks for the feedback about the size... that confirms what I have been thinking... I cant wait till i get mine....

They got the EVO only.

The size is perfect for me. At first I was like "ZOMG HUGE!" but that is just in comparison to the tiny Hero. It fits perfectly in my hand, but I haven't tried putting it in my pocket for more than 2 minutes. I really want a belt clip for this baby. Hopefully Seidio is going to send me one to demo.

IO attendees got the Motorola Droids sent to them before the conference so they can "get familiar" with Android, at the conference we got the Evo. Folks outside the US got Nexus Ones instead of the Droid.

I got a Moto Droid and a Sprint Hero for sale if anyone is interested.

The size of the Evo is excellent. I love it. It feels good in the hand and it's not bulky like the Droid either. It's really nice.

The size is great for me. I keep hearing some people say they have heard about it being small for some people's hands...blah blah blah...

When I hear somebody else say they heard someone else complained about something, I tend to not believe it.

I have heard no one who has touched the phone (I had an HD2 before and have an EVO from Google I/O now) do anything but LOVE it.

Bonnie from CNET did say she thought the HD2 was a little too big for her to use one handed. Of course she is about 4 foot 2 with tiny hands. And she still gave it an awesome review. And used it two handed I assume.

My hands aren't tiny, but they aren't massive either (I'd say slightly larger than average). And in my hand it just fits. I was worried about putting it to my face, but I have had 0 issues wiht it in actual use.

As for my pocket...prior to the Evo I was a clip/puch Nazi. I would never consider buying a phone that didn't fit in my Mogul case. Now I'll never buy another phone that doesn't fit in my pocket as well as this one.

It's so thing that my jeasn and khakis never feel like they're crushing it!!

I DO advise a screen protector (Ghost armor on mine currently!) to keep keys and face oil away!

Works great in one hand but if you are using your thumb and holding the phone at the bottom and you need to click something at the very top you need to reposition your hand. Not a big issue but can be a pain when driving.

This phone and the HD2 are the perfect size, the "sweet spot" in mobile devices. Any bigger no good, any smaller no good.

They say "size does matter", it sure does!!
