What Do Idiots Call Your Evo?

I dont care if anyone thinks its an iPhone...I get all of that brainwashing "coolness" and a better device at the same time!
 
i think it's hilarious that verizon did such a great job marketing that civilians call anything with android a "droid" they also seem to believe that the droid was the fiurst android phone. lolz.
i get is that a droid/iphone all the time?
and if i'm out and offer to google smething for someone they say, "oh you have an iphone?"

i'm friends with a guy that has an iphone4 and he asked me if i had facetime on my evo. i said no and let him know that there are other videochat alternatives and that i have them and they work. he just looked at me and said, "so, you dont have facetime then"
this man is actually not stupid believe it or not. just a typical apple fanatic

I had a very similar experience. My buddy, who is extremely tech-savvy and an admitted Apple fanboy, and I were talking about his new iP4 and the FFC/Videochat. I mentioned Fring to him and he scoffed it off saying that Apple/AT&T will be coming out shortly with some app that will work well on their 3G.

Well, long story short, yesterday he FB'd everyone asking them for Skype addresses and telling Android users to DL Fring. I humbly reminded him that was the app I was referring to a few weeks ago, and he says "Oh" as if he finally understood that we Android users are tech-literate, too! :)
 
I get the "is that an iphone/droid?" questions constantly... but my favorite was from an HD2 owner saw mine and said... "your HD2 has a kickstand!?"

My reply:

Yep... it sure does. It also has an Android OS instead of WinMo. It's got wimax connectivity, front facing camera, and it freakin prints money.

Don't forget to tell them that it'll f'n build you an island and then turn into a jet and fly you there.

You guys should just tell people it's your "Evil 4G".
 
Them: "It looks like an iPhone but its not."

Me: "That's because its not and iPhone. Oh and its better than an iPhone as well."
 
It's a pet peeve of mine when people refer to all Android OS based phones as a "Droid". I always have to correct them.

I call it my mini-iPad.

When they pull out their iPhone (3Gs or 4), I say something to the effect of,

"Awww, that's a cute lil phone. Is that your sisters?"
 
I had someone drool when I pulled my phone out. Then he asked me if it was the Droid or the iPhone. Then he said my bad that's the HD2, lol. I just stated it's the EVO and left it at that.:D

I had another person say "damn that's huge". She asked me if it was a tablet. I said nope it's a EVO.

Yea....Everyone calls it a droid. Some people think all android phones are a droid. Most of the people who do though use a phone that I wouldn't even be able to function on. My brother has an Iphone and the EVO dwarfs it. So sad....NOT!

Wouldn't be a big issue if there wasn't a phone called "Droid".. heh.

But, at least we're not paying LucasArts for use of the name... shrug.

I Agree. I Die A Little Inside Whenever They Call It A Droid. If They Know About The Droid And They See That It's A Totally Different Device, Why Even Ask!
 
I had my phone out at a restaurant yesterday, and a waiter almost broke his neck turning around to ask if it was the Evo. I let him play with the phone for a few minutes, hoping he wouldn't get drool on it. He said he *had* been planning on buying an Iphone 4, but I think I might have swayed him to our side.
 
Everyone calls it a droid. I think everyone thinks android phones are droids. I kinda hate Verizon for naming it Droid for that reason alone. I tell them it's a Evo with the android OS. Then they ask if it is a Iphone killer, so i walk away making calls holding it whatever way i want even upside down. Hope that answers anyone Iphone/Evo comparisons.

As per OP, I've only gotten iPhone once. Politely corrected them and then they proceded about the EVO and Android, and seemed absolutely fascinated. Funny part is, this was right outside an Apple store. ;D

I must do this when I get my Evo:D Real life trolling at the Apple store as payback for all the trolling they have done here.:cool:
 
It doesn't really bother me what the unfamiliar refer to my phone as...... I just tell them it's the new Jesus Phone (the old one was de-throned), and it does everything I need it to, including shielding me from water in the rain.
