Hello everyone, it's been awhile. It's true, I bought an EVO from earldriscoll for $500. Thanks Earl!!!

I'm working on some reviews of my own and I will post them here. Today, I'm going out to take videos and pictures with the EVO and in a couple of days, I'll post what I have here at AF.

Tomorrow, I have a get together planned for those that live in the Tampa area. We will be meeting Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm at the Westshore Marriott. One of our members, Mateo is a manager there at 1001 N Westshore Blvd. If you happen to show up and don't see us, ask for Matt McAlister. He said he would be able to provide a boardroom with a conference table, office chairs, wifi, and refreshments.

Hope you can make it,

Bill :)

PS - I want to give special thanks to TS for not giving up on me and for encouraging me to come back here.

Nice to "meet" ya Bill... I'm a newbie around here, but am loving the forums so far and am anxious to get my hands on my EVO come June. Hope you're enjoying your phone.

Thank you S.meezy. Yeah, funny how that worked out, but I was hoping everyone would have their EVO's today! I will say this; the phone meets or exceeds all of my expectations.

Is there anything specifically you do not like about the phone? Nothing is "perfect" and I'm wondering what it is specifically about the phone that you may not like too much...

Such as the power button that Engadget (?) had noted, etc...

First of all, I love the phone and probably wouldn't change anything. The only negative that comes to mind is the on/off button at the top of the phone, because it is hard to find. I liked my Hero better, because all I had to do was double-click the Home button and it was ready to go. With the EVO, you have to fiddle around to find the button and then you have to swipe the screen to unlock it. I love the big screen and the speed is so much better than the Hero.

Bill,

I live near Tampa Bay area.. Congrats on getting EVO! I'm wondering did the service have 4G in tampa area ?

I don't think we'll have 4G here for another month or so, although we might get lucky and have it on launch day, but I'm not counting on it.

Can you make the meet tomorrow at the Marriott?
 
Bill,

You're going to make me cry. I want my EVO so bad right now. Congrats though, at least one of us gets to be. And be sure to get up plenty of 720p shots that camera looks ace from what I've seen. Thanks!

I'm going to do my best. I've never uploaded to YouTube, so that's something else I have to learn.

Edit: Yes, Swype came on the Omnia, but that was a special thing as part of a Samsung phone. HTC and/or Sprint have never included Swype by default on a device, and I haven't heard anything about that starting now.

The Tmobile HD2 comes with Swype preinstalled.

Welcome back - glad you were able to make amends. It is after all, just a phone.

Let's leave the past where it belongs - in the past. Bill came back and offered an open invite to get a great preview of the device. That says a lot about character so I tip my hat off to that. Again, June 4th is literally right around the corner. So let's continue to welcome Bill back here and maybe he'll be open to answering questions

On that note: Bill - how solid does the back cover feel while it's on the phone? Does it feel well assembled and as "snug" as the Hero and Nexus one?
 
Sorry Bill - edited my post and added the question:
