Not sure yet. Still playing around with it so i will see. I did notice though that the battery has the silver lines, my last battery didnt and it was AMAZING so i hope this battery doesnt suck. Ill have to post after a day or so.

yea it definitely looks like some kind of after-market mod...it wouldve been awesome if the whole thing was white instead of the back half...strange choice by HTC
Yup I have wondered that myself. An all white Evo would have been pretty cool. this half and half Ying Yang thing is a little weird but I guess I can see the appeal

I would have liked an all white Evo, I don't like half and half, but that is just me.

I was just about to say, I did a google search and saw your pics on engadget. Nice!
I'm kinda assuming that it landed in your local Best Buy early due to you being so close to Kansas City, but like I said earlier, when I placed the "emergency pre-order" (at that time) for the white EVO, they told me that the 7th was the release date, despite the "announced" 11th release date, so I'm thinking there was more to that than the rest of the Best Buy employees knew. I'm in Los Angeles, so it's a little further for the drop shipment to reach here from Sprint.
If I remember correctly, I believe some of the leaked shots (when it was named the Supersonic) showed it sporting a white back as well. I was actually surprised that the phone was black when it came out.

I think you have my same camera - is that an Orange Casio Exilm I see in the reflection..?

picture three on first row killed it. white on black = FAIL. but the back is still cool because you can't see the black

Does anyone know if this means that us with black EVO's will be able to purchase white backplates?
It won't look the same as the back trim will still be black but I think it could still potentially look pretty cool.

Haha its a Kodak m320. Target had 3 of them marked down to $50 so i got all 3 and gave the other two away as gifts. I think they should have done an all white Evo also. Maybe they did and it didnt look so hot?? IDK.
EDIT: What is the app that will tell you what screen you have? My black evo was a nova and i want to see if this is the same

The white version looks alot nicer then what I thought it would. The only gripe is the side I wish the sides were all white instead of half white half black. Other wise it looks cool.

see HTC would have some competition on iphone if they learn to design and package better. It would be nice to see full white, white sides, and white bezel.

I don't know about being able to purchase white replacement back covers, but I contacted a company www.coveroo.com that is supposedly making it a priority to have "custom" replacement battery covers, for the EVO. Those will be customizable (either engraved or color).
Just not available yet, so we'll see how long it'll take before they have it avaialble for the EVO.

1. Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Android Market.
2. Type "dmesg" into the emulator (without the quotation marks).
3. After typing "dmesg" into the emulator, hit enter.
4. Hit the menu button and email the results to yourself.
