This week I took the family to South Padre Island and here's how the Evo "fit" into our lives...
1. Google maps w/voice navigation! Even the wife was impressed! lol! Seriously, finding the hotel, restaurants and local attractions were a breeze. Sure you can do it on the iPhone, but I could sit back and listen to the directions...for free.
2. Ah...the kids are bored as hell during the 5 hour drive. Ah! Loaded up Sprint TV and streamed Spongebob...all grins! Afterwards they watched Alice in Wonderland. Peace ensues.
3. Took the kids to the beach and the 8 megapixel camera captured the moment beautifully!!
4. Arrived at the hotel...argh...no wifi. No problem, launched the wireless tether app...yumm. I was able to check email, facebook and manage a website.
5. So we're at the hotel trying to get ready and the kids are restless. I pull out my ipad, connected it to the Evo and launched Netflix. Thank God...peace and harmony.
6. So we're ready for dinner. I used the "Around Me" app and found a fantastic restaurant on the bay side....took a picture to capture the moment...
7. Today I used navigation to direct us to the USS Lexington! I used the Evo's built in camera to capture the experience...
8. We then proceeded to head back home using the Evos navigation.
Just wanted to share how the Evo integrated into our lives Sure the Evo has some build quality issues, but they will be addressed. Just hang on folks and remember why you purchased the Evo in the first place...because it freakin kicks ass....
