Did you call the number on the paper insert?
I test activated mine, and the website told me it's already activated.

How is it as a stand alone music player? Passable?

Sorry to ask this again, but any more battery commentary after another 24hrs?

Battery won't be able to last more than 24 hrs that's for sure. Not sure if Andriod 2.2 will be able to pull that off. I think the reason for this is because everything on the phone is very data intensive. It takes a lot of sending and receiving through networks. You would need to carry a charger or USB cable while your on the run.

So has no one tried plugging this thing into the tv yet. Can we do other stuff besides watch movie's and view photo's. Why is this so hard to get answered.

cause they probably dont have the cable yet. calm down give them time. they are being nice to give us the information they are already giving, they dont have to tell us anything. and make you wait til june 4th and find out on your own.
Heck yes, but I'm going to let the free trial run out before I activate mine.
Someone earlier mentioned call forwarding.
Forward your main number to the EVO and talk away.
Unfortunately, you can't forward text messages.
this is why you folks should be using google voice.

so you cancelled the free 1 month trail and put the phone on your plan? you called the number on the reference paperwork that came with the Google I/O conference right? More insight for info hungry people! haha
seems like the focusing is a hit or miss. Some look good some look grainy or a little out of focus.
btw, I don't know what your eating and don't want to know :s

The guy I bought it from didn't send that one.
I think I may have a 2GB laying around here somewhere.

The problem is the lens on these phones are VERY small so they can not absorb much light so you are left with a lot of "noise." They slightly compensate for this by usually having a longer exposure time than a regular camera but that makes getting a blurry photo a large possibility if your subject is moving or you are not holding the camera perfectly still.
Basically they have to make the lens and censor bigger because there really is no magical way to capture more light. However this would lead to a bigger and thicker phone.
I hate people bragging about this as an 8MP phone like it is a DSLR because a 5MP point and shoot would destroy it any day. That said it's a pretty damn good camera phone and it will be a huge improvement from my iPhone 2G, so I'm happy.
Thats what they told me too when i tried this afternoon. Wait till the 4th.
