Any Incredible owners jealous of the Evo 4G?

Happy with the Inc. I do with we have a front facing camera.

If you think the battery life is bad on the Inc...just wait for the Evo.
 
My brother-in-law is a Sprint customer and is thinking about pre-ordering the Evo, but he told me tonight that Sprint might be raising their data prices another $10 for all 4G phones. I have no idea if it is legit, but if true then it's a major turn-off.
 
When I picked up the Incredible, I got exactly what I wanted, it's the perfect size, more than enough memory, looks great, best cell phone camera out and VZW service, you cannot beat that combo. If I was looking for a tablet with crappy service, then I would buy an Evo.
 
I suspect most that bought the Inc. knew the Evo was coming. I have seen it and messed with it. It is awesome but big in the pocket. You think our battery wears out what do you think will happen with a 1500 battery in that beast. HTC makes great phones but really skimps on the batteries. I still like the incredible because of verizon. About the only thing I am jealous of is the built in kickstand lol.
 
I'm actually going to change to Sprint. Sprints coverage in my area is actually very good. But the biggest selling point for me are the price of the plans.

When I pre-ordered the Dinc there was no set date for the Evo 4g yet. My G1 was dying on me so I needed a phone. The Dinc sounded like a no-brainer.

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my Incredible. But all else being equal in terms of hardware and coverage, if I can save ~$30/month on my plan, it wouldn't make sense for me to stay with Verizon.

Which still makes me wonder why I have seen zero Incredible commercials yet? Just makes no sense.....and is the reason why the Iphone is so successful, Insane marketing campaigns that brain wash everybody into buying it.

Come on Verizon advertise the Incredible....

Evo is nice, but ultimately it is on Sprint, and the fancy extras like the 720P video, etc., just can't be that great on a cell phone? Who knows maybe it will be great, but the DINC is pretty awesome, and I have a strong network behind the phone....

why advertise something when its completely out of stock for 3 weeks....i agree it should get some advertising but best wait until you can actually keep it in stock

it will do more harm to advertise something and have people rush to stores to be told sorry, you cant get it until next month

I'm sure HTC will put whatever battery VZW reqests. To keep the cost down VZW choose a smaller one. It's not HTC.... it's the carriers that do that.
 
I am tempted to move to the EVO for 2 reasons:
-Chicago has 4G coverage
-I am sufferring from very poor phone call quality with my DINC

If my phone calls would just sound better, I would probably not even consider it; but the phone sounds like I am underwater, my voice is really "scratchy" on it, and calls are nowhere near as clear as they were on my IPhone, or, actually, the shitty Samsung phone I got for my son on Verizon.
This is a documented problem, that really needs fixing, as my calls to Tech support have revealed that ALOT of people are calling in with the same issue

I love this phone, but, its gotta make decent phone calls for me to keep it..
 
The EVO is definitely a SWEET device, and if I was on Sprint, that's exactly what I'd own. But, I'd never switch just for a phone. I have service with carrier, and I usually just chose my best option with that carrier.
 
Thanks most of u for the thoughtful responses... whoever is out to post negative things.. sorry I don't care
 
Not one bit. The phones overall size is way to big for my liking, and whats the point of 2 cameras? If you want to video chat why not just go talk to them in person? Or hop on a web cam.

If I'm not mistaken the processor and memory are the same in the Evo and Inc. (correct me if im wrong)

Why do you assume that the Evo will get better call quality? It's made by the same company and will be on a subpar provider. I also except for a firmware update to address the call quality issues soon.
 
Sprint coverage blows in Detroit and I would have to pay an extra $10/mo for 4G even though they don't offer 4G service in Detroit. I kind of like the bigger screen but everything else.. blah. I don't need videoconferencing.
 
Jealous of the Samsung Galaxy S. Thinner than a Incredible, faster CPU (same ghz but the CPU can do more IPC than a Snapdragon), faster 3D GPU for games, Super AMOLED screen is even better and usable in sunlight, stock 1500mah battery.

Unfortunately, not HTC Exchange which is actually pretty good and the camera will probably be not as good... And after HTC, Samsung is slow to update the OS. Then again, at least it will be built a bit better and can handle calls clearly.

my wife keeps telling me the same thing..I guess its just my hope that it will be that way..
I may just get one, keep my incredible too, and see if the call quality is any better after using the evo for a week or so..if its not any better, I can return it within 30 days, with no problems...

Agree with the 4G. Seattle has 4G and it's very tempting. I am concerned with how poor I hear Sprint's coverage is in general, however.

I should note that the call quality on my Incredible is amazing. Best of any phone I've owned. You may try swapping it for a new phone and giving that a shot first.
 
I'm going to give the EVO a try! And for a pretty valid reason. My unlocked HD2 running on at&t is one of the best phones I've ever owned. I remember seeing it reviewed on Phone Dog, and Noah said it felt like a phone from the future. he wasn't kidding! Once you get passed that POS Windows 6.0, its awesome. The words out of my mouth were, This would be absolutely sick if it ran Android! So here we are with the EVO upon us. Granted, it's bigger then the Incredible, which some people see as a downfall, and some don't. All a matter of preference when you lay the Incredible down next to the EVO. My plan is to give it a try, and if Sprint sucks, I'll just return it and cancel the contract. It's 50/50 for me, if it doesn't preform well, and service is not that good, I'll just stick with the Incredible. I like Android, so I wont be going to far.

I was considering that, but, first of all, there are none to exchange it for, as far as I know, they are back ordered until June 5th or so, and 2, my wife has one and her sound is terrible as well, so I am not sure if an exchange would make any difference..
 
It's too big for my liking... plus with the bigger screen it is still the same resolution as the Incredible, so you actually aren't really gaining anything in that department.
 
How can i be jealous? I am super happy with my phone and the Evo is on sprint, how can i be jealous? The evo has really nice features but it is a little too big for me as well, so NO! Not jealous at all!
