...And then came along the EVO

I also see it's just a LCD screen, compared to the amoled on the Desire.

quite dissapointed by the specs on this, TFT screen? no HSDPA (only 4g which isnt available in the UK yet) same processor as the desire, honestly just get the desire

It's not a GSM phone, so it wouldn't work at all over here.

I do actually prefer the Desire. Better screen as well.

Also, the two phones share the same resolution, so the text, icons on the EVO must be HUGE!

Announcement made, "no plans for HTC EVO to come to europe and uk"

Different lifestyles thats why, and no I don't always stay in a house. But its more that you forget to charge it realise you are going away for the weekend and can't charge it. Meaning your left on a train for 4-5 hours without a phone.

Exactly.

That's what ultra portable laptops + USB cables are for.

Sometimes you don't want to take a laptop if it involves having to lug it around on your back for a few days (although depending on what I am doing, i normally take my laptop).

It actually has less RAM than the HTC Desire (512MB vs 576MB) it just has an extra 1GB of built in storage. A 4.3" screen is almost tablet size, going to be unwieldy and we don't have (and aren't going to get) WiMax in the UK, nothing to see here.

4.3" screen is the same as the HD2, which actually isn't bad at all, especially when you consider it is much thinner than other smartphones (HD, Hero, iPhone).

And thats a problem because??...at least they make decent well built handsets with great specs unlike Nokia who are getting a tad boring now.

I dunno, I think they always have released about 10 handsets a year. The difference is they are now sold under the HTC brand not XDA etc.

The HD2 is a 4.3" screen and there isn't anything particularly unweidly about it, in my opinion.

Just a few little videos about the Evo. I have to say, the HDMI connection for the big tv had me very impressed.

This is a phone I would love to have for the 720p recording and HDMI out. Isn't the HD3 a similar spec?

Blue Cypher · 24 Mar 2010 at 16:01

So is this ever going to come out in the uk?

Chiz · 24 Mar 2010 at 16:03

But to be honest we (and indeed the rest of the world) have had a lot more android phones than they have. Lets let them have this one aye? It doesn't really look that special to me...

PatZ1989 · 25 Mar 2010 at 10:25

iphone 4g is back on the table for me after this

Jabbs · 25 Mar 2010 at 10:56

When will the UK get 4g is the question.

Chiz · 25 Mar 2010 at 10:56

2011.

When they do it'll likely be LTE rather than WIMAX as well so it's somewhat irrelevant for the purposes of this phone....
