I wonder if that pic of the rinky dink micro sd card is actually a sim slot... Are they about the same size, never handled one... :rolleyes: didn't make sense it had such a tiny sd card... Speculation only... Along with the whole sim card, i guess it could roam globally on a 4g network with voip too... Ugh... Lol

Now going back to that post I posted about Wirefly showing a compare with the incredible and the only difference was the EVO had Global Roaming while the Incredible did not, still confuses me. So I went to the engadget gallery and was wondering the following...

This image shows the SD card slot


also shows the sd card slot, but what is that square thingy at the top?


As you can see in the third photo, there is an indentation just below the square thingy. Its not to help you remove the battery since the battery compartment has two indented slots to remove the battery so what is it for?


finally, another shot


Mind you i realize it may not be for a sim card, but that square thing is intriguing as well as the indentation. I doubt it can be modified before shipment, but its interesting none the less.

Comments?

That is the speaker I think. If you look at the back cover in pic #2, you'll notice that it has LED flash cutouts on one side of the camera, and what appears to be speaker holes on the other side, at the approximate place the red square is.

It looks to be the external speaker to me.... I googled a evo and you can clearly see the back and where that the mysterious square sits... sorry for the long link...

The red square is where the speaker is. It looks like they put it behind red cloth so it shows through the holes in the back plate/battery cover. I wouldn't read anything into the indentation...

Edit: wow - you're all too fast.

lol dude I was taking a sip of my coke when I refreshed the page.... I love this thread! It's home!
 
I think evo is a much better name than supersonic, to me supersonic sounds like a toy or something, it's hard to imagine someone asking for a supersonic at the store or seeing people bragging about something with that name, Evo gives a lot more potential for marketing I think and just sounds cooler IMO.

yeah, but most blue tooth headsets do... it's a hard case with a built in headset.. my brother has one on his iphone that he has tucked away in his little man purse or murse. It almost excuses him from having a man purse.... almost.... damn metro-sexuals :D
