SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Guys, I am crazy for this phone. I dont wanna buy Incredible if this is out soon but as said by Gurus it will take long time to come. I came across these topics which are giving a hint for a launch soon enough, a guy clicked a pic of EVO displayed in Sprint store. http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/01/htc-evo-4g-found-loitering-in-sprint-store/ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=119293 http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=119832 Edited May 2, 2010 by SumitVerma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) it will come within 3-4 months....but difference are quite miniscule between the Incredible and Evo, at least those usable by us; as the front camera and 4G are useless for us here in India; hdmi port already has substitute on Incredible with its component output; so that basically leaves a larger screen (though same resolution) and heavier weight to content with... and some friends of mine who have handled the test units in the US are saying its a little too large than imagined...

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) ^ Dimensions are almost same if compared with HD2, right? Edited May 3, 2010 by SumitVerma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) ^ Yes, approximately same; though HD2 weighs about 15 grams less... 4.74"x 2.64" x 0.43" 157gms (5.54 ounces) 512MB Rom/448MB RAM; 480 X 800 WVGA - HD2 4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5" 170 gms (6 ounces) 1 GB ROM/512 MB RAM, 480 X 800 WVGA - EVO 4.63" x 2.3" x 0.47 " 130 gms (4.59 ounces) Flash/ROM 8GB + 512MB/RAM 512MB, 480 X 800 WVGA - Incredible and there can NEVER be a BEST ONE!! EVER.... by the time the Evo comes around another great smartphone would be ready to launch in 3 months time... Edited May 3, 2010 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 till date it is best one ! but in every few months new models will come with more hardware in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 ^ how can you say till date, when it is NOT even launched yet.... till date means, available as on date... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 As per my info this is the one going to launched first after incredible ... and no other specs are out to compare !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) ^ there are many other phones being planned in the coming months like Moto Droid2, iphone 4 (cdma), Android phones from Samsung and Sony Ericson etc. etc. (who's specs you can search on the net) which will have specifications even higher than Evo... I dont want to get into any argument; My basic point is that there is no end to this vicious cycle of waiting for phones... every 3 months you will have some new phone to compare...by the time evo will be launched, I will give you such mouth watering specs of moto droid 2 or Nexus One Pro that you will forget about evo and start thinking about droid2... so that is not the correct way to go about purchasing phones... live the moment...

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 i dont care whats better buy what u like , thats the main thing , u should be happy with what u get no point trying to justify one handset over other , its personal choice BTW at first we all were thinking that EVO will launch after 3 4 months but now fact is that it might be coming in couple of months or may be next month the reason is simple apple WMDC is going to be this month and in june there will be iphone 4G , as it is sprint is loosing its customers every month , if they get EVO out late they might loose all hype and charm around EVO , which they will never want , after all they are banking on EVO for some good profits so that y they are trying hard to push launch date as early as possible the sprint EVO event is going to be held next week and we will have a release date officially declared then BTW only problem that sprint faces is that they still dont have WIMAX in major markets as as they are touting EVO as wimax phone so they need to atleast get nationwide coverage of wimax in major cities and this is what is holding the launch of EVO , but i am sure sprint will find a way around it and might just release EVO in selected markets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greatest 55 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 ^^^ hey that was a good and eye-openeing comparision.. I think incredible is as good as evo.. EVO only scores well in the screen size front for us Indian Users.. Also notable feature, Incredible has AMOLED whereas EVO has TFT LCD... I was unaware of this.. AMOLED is the latest and most responsive of all.. I think ill have to change my route and go for incredible as of now... Great Goin DK... you always change my presumptions and you pull me towards yours (or towards reality).. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) ^ also remember TFT consumes more battery than amoled; hence even with a 1500mah battery the talktime of our Hero is just 250 minutes (which has a TFT screen) while with a 1300mah battery the rated talktime of Incredible is 313 minutes...

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 ^ Thanks a lot for the comparison sir! I would like to ask one dum Q: wimax is there in my City, is there any possibility to activate it on EVO? BTW EVO having 8GB on board? and moreover the Video recording is 720p over VGA, 1 GB ROM over 512 MB. I wish it comes soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) ^ No question of wimax working on Evo under any circumstances as on date; Its different technology employed by Tikona... and Evo DOES NOT have 8GB on board memory; Incredible does....and ROM is used for internal programs storage hence in effect Incredible has 8Gb+512MB ROM in comparison to only 1GB on Evo...the camera hardware is also exactly the same, and there is rumored to be an OTA on the way for Incredible which will bump up the Video recording to 720p also on the Incredible, though I doubt very strongly, that you will be able to point out any significant difference in the video even as on date's resolution...
