HTC EVO, Is It The Right Phone for You

By Al Bitar


The EVO 4G is a gorgeous phone. At 4.8 inches x 2.6 inches, it's slightly taller and wider than other smartphones, but slim and easy to hold. The reason it's bigger is also one of the main reasons it's gorgeous-the 4.3 inch screen. The resolution is amazing, and the colors are true and rich. It's just better in so many ways. Watching video, playing games, typing on the keyboard-all are easier with the larger screen.

HTC was the first to release a 4G phone in the USA, and it is blazing fast! Whether you're uploading, downloading, or browsing the Internet, you can get it done a lot fast now. Plus this is the first WiMax phone with WiFi available wherever you go, and Internet access for as many as eight devices. With a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, just about any task you want to accomplish will be much is faster.

The HTC LCD touchscreen is very responsive and includes buttons on the bottom of it. The keyboard is very easy to use because of the large screen size making it less likely of typos, plus a word application is included which makes typing and texting much quicker and easier.

With two cameras, an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, the photo opportunities are endless. A 2x LED flash is built-in to enhance shots taken in low-light conditions. When in camera mode, the EVO 4G is always adjusting focusing and computing light conditions, so when you push the button the photo is almost instant. No more missing the perfect shot due to camera delay. The camcorder is equally perceptive, using HD technology for beautiful videos. You can stream videos live to friends, share them on YouTube, or save them to watch later on your flatscreen.

If you have a google account you can automatically sync your contacts and calendar with your new EVO 4G. Quickoffice suite is also included, so it's easy to work with MS Office documents. Also included are a calculator, stock tracker, desk clock, voice recorder, and news reader.

The Google Maps and Sprint Navigation features are very useful applications. Find points of interest and get restaurant reviews with Google Maps and directions. Plus get up to the minute traffic updates and GPS turn-by-turn voice-guided directions with Sprint Navigational systems.

Music is easy to download, organize and play with this phone. The speakers are great, loud and clear. There's also an FM radio app, although you will need a wired headset to utilize this option as there is no built-in antennae.

If social networking is your favorite leisure-time activity, there are several great apps for that. Peep is a Twitter utility, and FaceBook is included, too. FriendStream pulls photos and status updates from FaceBook and other social media together into a unified social networking option. The Qik program lets you capture and share video with friends either privately or through, FaceBook, YouTube or Twitter.

This is a great phone to have because it's easy to use for entertainment, whether watching video, movies, sports, or catching up on your afternoon soaps, or for more serious tasks that are work related. Also the call quality is excellent, even in situations where there is a lot of background noise. Even though this is a fairly new phone, cell phone covers are readily available to protect your investment to keep it in good working shape for years to come.
