Can I just throw some love to the evo's display. I've had mine for like 5 months and this display still blows me away. Colors are perfect and text is so sharp.
Also the build quality still amazes me and people I show it to are always impressed with how thin it is.
Battery life is also great and I can pretty consistently make it through the day with typical usage.
I don't use the kick stand much but when I do it is very handy to have.
Been running stock sense for like a month and dont hate it. It adds a lot of functionality and the keyboard is pretty accurate with very few mistypes.
Love this phone!
That is all

Build and hardware are great. Sense camera is best out there but whenever I use another same tier android phone, I'm reminded of how slow sense is, even after the jb update.
im a lover of stock sense tooo
Do you have any screenshots or stats of your battery life? I'm thinking about switching my gs3 for my mom's evo but I want to make sure that the battery life won't be much worse.

Yea loving my evo 4g lte right now and not too impressed with the m7 specs might actually keep this phone til my upgrade date depending on what windows phone comes to spint and when.
I love my evo as well but that isnt gonna stop me from getting that m7 on release day...gotta have the latest and greatest ...I'm sure it will improve upon an already terrific and very underated, underappreciated device which is the LTE ...don't think I can ever stray from the sense camera now..it has spoiled me lol
I love this phone as well. The camera and screen still amaze me. I'm also a huge Sense fan.

I just came from the optimus g (which I still have) now in terms of speed lgog beats the evo hands down, not by a lot tho. But with overall experience and screen quality and camera quality evo all day. I am so happy is bought one. With a good Rom & kernel evo is a beast with great battery life. Only if you coukd install another gig of ram, this phone would be my primary for a lot longer. It is truly sad how under rated it really is. :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

I don't understand why people think Sense is "slow". Sense is not "slow". It might make UI framerates a bit laggy at times, but it's not slow. Unless you use a stopwatch and measure app opening and operation times between Sense and AOSP, there's really nothing "slow" about it. The processors we have in these phones are so insanely fast that OEM overlays basically do nothing to the speed at which Android operates.

Coming from a nexus 4 the EVO LTE is awesome. My Nexus (bought directly from google) had this weird thing where it rattled, and it honestly felt cheap. I like the back glass of the n4 more than the plasticky look of the evo but I stuck a case on it and now I don't notice it at all. Basically the same in terms of processor speed, and the battery life on this phone is light years better. Also, having a microSD card slot makes me feel privileged.. 16GB just doesn't cut it. Oh, and i personally like the Sense camera better. Not sure which one the tech gods think is better but the only advantage the N4 had was that "photo sphere" garbage which quite frankly wasn't that special.
So compared to the N4, I love my EVO.
Oh, and the GS3 felt like one of those toy candy-filled phones you see at the dollar store.
That is all.

LIES!!!!!! the SII may have better battery life, but overall the phone is crap lol
Now it may be the rampant HTC fanboy side of me, but i gotta say hold on here, why does having ICS make the GSII a better phone?
Inside their specs are almost identical, and to some the SAMOLED pentile screen (which IMO is a bit oversaturated and overrated) looks like crap.
Batterywise: what kind of battery is the GSII packing? either way battery life depends on how hard you hammer the phone, I keep my Amaze clocked down to about 1Ghz and i get pretty awesome battery life on it, upwards of 14 hours
Im supposed to get my amaze delivered today. Hope so. Ive had my gs2 for about a week. Its a very good phone. Takes a while to get used to the big screen. (Coming from g2x). I cant yet compare it to the amaze, but like i said, its avgreat phone. Battery is ok, not great. Blazing fast. ( same hardware as amaze). Ics is ok but not quit there yet. Im running juggernaut 5.0 gb and it works great. As of now it has much more dev support. Do what you like, but i say, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

You're gonna have to hold both devices in your hand and use them for a day or two to decide... But since you say you're a fan of HTC, you should probably keep the Amaze. Both devices, in my opinion, are on par, but if I were you, I'd go for the SGS2 in a heartbeat since it's more to my liking
Seeing as I left the GS2 for the Amaze I can say that i think I made the better choice. This phone is much more pocketable. We may have screen bleed from the bottom but that is an easy fix. The GS2 has blotches and streaks in the screen that cannot be fixed. The camera on the amaze is a lot better.
I like My Amaze and I will be keeping it to at least the fall for when my upgrade is available.
The amaze is garbage it has a horrible screen, washed out pics, battery life is a joke...i had mines for one day and turned that crap back in for a gs2, the gs2 isnt perfect it feels cheap cause of so much plastic but other than that and the camera everything beats the amaze

But I'm not here to bash anybody everybody has their own opinion, youtube reviews if that would help
Just hold both in your hand at a Tmo store and play with them, and decide which one you like best. For most people either phone is going to be a perfectly fine phone for everyday use, it all just comes down to personal preference.
About the same.
Some videos are better on sgs2,some are better on amaze.

I went back to the amaze.

evo for sure...the specs are much better and it will be even better when roms like cm9 and aokp get some stability
I say wait a few more days and then you can compare the EVO 4g LTE, galaxy nexus and the Galaxy s3.
I agree. Go with the evo. In a couple months you will be able to choose a really good aosp room if you want like the person before me said plus you get better cpu, better screen, kickstand, better camera, sd card, and the phone just feels better.
EVO hands down.
If the choice is between those two models then the EVO winds hands down, but in my opinion, with the Galaxy S III coming out very soon, you'd be foolish not to wait and AT LEAST compare/play with both (EVO and GS3) before making your final decision.

Yea the battery is not as big of a deal as ppl make it out . Don't let that make your decision
The EVO lte is on a whole different level buddy. The screen is pretty Damn accurate,unless you prefer over saturation,the battery is surprisingly better then my EVO 3d/og.I can get 6hrs screen on time and standby is ridiculous,I charge once a day when not gaming. Removable sd card ,oh and I'm a sense lover! The camera still amazes me day after day or should I say night after night lol. I hardly use the kickstand (got used to my evo3d). It is VERY fast for a dual 1.5 ghz. Honestly all I could ask for is maybe 512mb of more ram. It doesn't lag,but I do catch myself sometimes with only 180mb free. The only thing I like about the galaxy nexus is the ability to swap batteries. Which really isn't needed.

You WILL get better battery life with the evo lte,that is if the nexus is still using the stock battery. Honestly I would take the 28 nanometer any day over the omap! This sucker is fast. The gs3 would probably be quicker,so if your a Samsung fan I would wait for it. That is if you like plastic lol

The nexus will with out a doubt get jelly bean first. The EVO is the best build quality. It's pesonal choice but for me I will stick to the EVO. I tried nexus before and liked it, but all mods and ROMs where the same. And I hate all that plastic

I've had the LTEvo for over a week now and all I can say is WOW. Aside from being super smooth with sense and all that jazz, the battery life is just plain nuts. I have yet to see it go below 70% and I leave it on from 7am til 11pm. I use it to browse and play music a good bit, too. Another thing I am waaay impressed with is how fast it turns on and off. I can turn it on and off and on again faster than my HTC Thunderbolt turns on! It also runs the psx emulator a TON better than my tbolt, so I'm happy with my ffix Sense 4.0 FTW
In terms of Dev and community support, HTC will always take the cake there. There might be a chance that a new nexus will be release before Jelly Beans comes out, but that's just heresay. I'm also under the opinion that google will be shifting a lot of there goodies to Motorola phones now since they bought it out.
P.S.- the camera is by far the best one I have seen, although I'm sure there will be people that say they've seen better on other phones, but meh.
The last phone I owned on Sprint was the Galaxy Nexus (switched to Straight Talk on an international GS3). I would say go for the Evo 4G LTE. The "awesomness of a stock experience" wears off pretty quickly. Sense 4.0 adds features and isn't as bloated as previous versions. More importantly, the SLCD2 screen is much sharper than the SAMOLED Plus screen on the Nexus, and the Nexus is running last year's features and noticeably lags.
Stock can also be on an unlocked rooted evo so is there really a big difference between the nexus?
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
Definitely go with the LTEvo. I was in the same boat as you, and was completely torn between the Gnex and the Evo. I had previously owned the OG Evo, and the Evo 3D, and while of course interested in the LTEvo, I was enticed by the sexy look of the Gnex, the pure AOSP, and the immediate updates from Google. I played with the Gnex for a while, but the moment I held the LTEvo in my hands I knew it was no contest.
Build quality is way better, screen is the best I'd ever seen on a phone, expandable storage, larger battery, improved radios...it's a beast. And the dev community is steadily growing, especially since the phone has only been out to the general public for about 3 weeks. There's a largely functional CM9 ROM already (capable of being a daily, depending on your needs, as it's only really missing MMS, multitouch, camcorder) if you crave AOSP, and I'm sure we won't be that far behind the curve in terms of getting JB.
The Gnex is a great phone, dont get me wrong, and not many people who've gotten a Nexus phone have ever really regretted it. But it's age is starting to show, and at this point, the LTEvo is definitely going to last longer technologically speaking.

True, but I would argue that this phone stock, Sense and all, runs about as smooth as the Gnex does stock as well. The spec difference is kind of less obvious due to Sense. Running stock ICS on this phone would really show the difference. Gaming as well. But as someone who does not game that much on a cellphone, I would say that the difference in power between the two, while admittedly large, isn't as huge when it comes to non-gaming performance, thanks to Sense.
This phone is still much better though. Even if someone doesn't completely understand how much more powerful it is, anyone can see that this phone can run something as heavy as Sense as smooth as the Gnex runs stock ICS.
Tl;dr: I agree with you.

If you wanna learn all about the amaze click the bible link in my signature.. I think the best feature on the phone is the camera, not a single device out there takes pictures as good unless it is JUST a camera.. but newer phones like the htc one can't compete. I was geeking out at my local tmobile, comparing pictures with my amaze to their htc one.. they all agreed, my amaze won(when projected on a 60" hdtv).
Overall, the phone is still top in its class, there isn't anything BETTER, just slightly different form factors and shapes. The second reply to this thread said he thought the phone was too heavy.. I like the weight, I feel like I am holding something real, rather than some plastic toy when I hold any galaxy S(1,2, or 3). So quite a bit is just going to be personal preference.
Best camera I've ever seen on a phone (haven't seen the HTC titan... but that's a windows phone )

Hey guys,
I just sold my Epic 4G Touch and I am seriously considering this phone. The problem is all of the reviews are from a long time ago. I'm just curious if the alleged screen ficker, poor 3g reception, poor battery life are still existent or even true as a whole. I know different roms will affect battery and all of those reviews were from stock newbs. What I did find interesting is one reviewer stated that an xda dev said the antennas are an issue.
So what's you're input?

Biggest complaint I've come across on these forums has to do with LTE connectivity. I can't comment personally because there is no LTE in my area. Many users have complained that battery life has suffered since the Jelly Bean update, but battery life is subjective because we all use our phones differently. I've seen a few people mention issues with their screens but overall it doesn't seem widespread. I like my EVO and would highly recommend it
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
My Evo is great. I'd recommend it, especially if you're a fan of HTC Sense. It seems like HTC finally got it right, it's the perfect balance of speed, reliability, and not-hogging-the-CPU-ness. My only issue is that for some reason my camera will run constantly in the background and kill the battery, but I just use the recent apps function to close it after each use and the problem is solved.
I keep hearing about LTE issues, but I almost wonder if that could be fixed via software update. I only have 3g and it's fast enough for me.
Hope this helps!
I love this phone. After playing with this and a gs3 I would say this one. No issues whatsoever on mine. Battery life is more than enough until I get off work to a charger. Great performance, screen, everything you want in a high end phone. Even the feel of the phone.

I'd have to respectfully disagree about the GS3. I've owned both the GS3 and the Note 2. I'd say the GS3 and the EVO are pretty closely matched. I feel that the screen, build quality, and camera are much better on the EVO. Now, the Note is certainly nicer. It's biggest selling point for me was the quad core and the battery life is freaking awesome. But, it really is a big phone. While I found it wonderful tooling around on the couch, putting that thing in my pocket and using it at work and such was too much. Just too big to be practical, for me anyway.

Only issue I think is a problem is the LTE connectivity but battery life is good on certain roms

I love my Evo LTE, but if you are going to buy a new phone and redo your 2 year contract, I would wait for the HTC One that is suppose to come out in March. Why lock into a 2 year contract with a phone that's been out for almost a year. Go for the newest and greatest thing. If you are buying used off contract then yes, the Evo is worth it.
High end HTC phones feel solid in hand.. Now everyone knos Samsung phones feel like a cheap a$$ peice of plastic.. I like the solid feel over cheapness This phone still is BEAST!:good:
