Uh, weird box?

My Evo just arrived! I am forcing myself to go have lunch now before I play with it, but I opened the outer box and couldn't help but notice the packaging of the Evo itself. It's not even in a real (square) box, it's in a styrofoam type of thing with a cardboard wrapping around it. Is that normally how they come? The side says "Sprint Re:source" packaging.
 
Thats how the evo is shipped :D , the only thing you should really look is if the phone itself is wrapped in plastic with a seal/sticker.
 
Yeah, you might remember reading about it in the reviews, it seems like everybody made a note of it, I guess they were trying to a little less wasteful. Not sure if its HTC or Sprint that made the decision though, as it seems like they went with a more traditional box for the Epic.

I remember when I got my iPod Touch, now that had very small packaging. When it was still wrapped (for christmas) for a moment I thought my parents had bought me a cassette tape.
 
Whatever you do, don't place it next to your microwaveable lunch...you might get confused :D
 
Yeah, that's the green packaging. It's highly biodegradable... I think "original packaging" is going to be something you rarely see included with used evo's after a year or so.
 
i still have mine. anyone who is going to jump to EVO2 or whatever the next generation of android phone next year should as well.

it looks and feels like an ostrich egg crate
 
When I upgrade to the EVO 2. I think I will just keep my EVO, I can think of alot of uses for it.
 
An upgrade already? Or is that just speculative? As long as it's not earlier than August-ish, since I'll become a Premiere member this December and can upgrade every year now. :)
 
Well, who knows what will be out in the next year regarding phones and such. Ive been looking for some new releases with sprint, but havent found much other than the Evo and the Epic.. So I dont know whats next
