Incredible vs. EVO 4G
- Thread starter kenny1244

the incredible's snapdragon is not underclocked. it is 998mhz when fully clocked up. idle is 245. so it can run anywhere between 998 and 245.
the only thing better in my opinion is that it will run on 4G which can be a lot faster. verizon's 3g has proven pretty fast IMO. i have seen the HD2 and i think the HD2 and Evo 4G are to big. it will be one hell of a phone, but i'll keep my incredible.
verizon > Sprint
Doesn't seem like much of a difference, even less so than the differences between the Droid and Incredible. If the screen size is an absolute must-have for you, then I could see upgrading. Seems like a small detail to base switching phones (and carrier) on already.
Sprint 4G would be nice, but you'd have to make sure it is currently offered in your area. But there is also the point of Sprint's WiMax (what they are calling 4G) not truly being "4G", even though it is being advertised as such. I don't believe the standards for true 4G have been finalized yet.

i have heard the same thing. i heard they are throttling it back. supposedly 4G is capable of a lot more than they are letting it to. not sure why they would do this, but i imagine they have their reasons.
They are waiting for Verizon's LTE merger to be finished, so they can figure out a way to piggyback off of Verizon to save money

way to wide.. inc size is perfect.. plus the screen display is actually bigger than iphone.
I have to agree. The sound of a 4.3 screen sounds tempting but from looking at the HD2, it is way too massive. I think the 3.7 is perfect in size. Just thinking of putting that in my pocket would be interesting...
Also, I am very satisfied with Verizon's 3G, it is plenty fast for me for when I need it. I am a pretty patient person so I don't need instant fast everywhere I go.
i think it's funny how a few years ago the craze was all about which phone was the smallest, now we are going back the opposite way again. i think the HTC Incredible is the perfect size. it feels great in my hands and in my pocket.
I just got my Incredible, coming from a flip phone. They could come out with a phone twice as nice, on a 6G network, I don't care. As long as my phone does for me what I want (it very much seems to now), I don't care. I am happy with my phone, a new phone does not make my phone worse. As I am sure the same for the Droid, the Incredible might be faster and other advantages (maybe) but if someone is happy with the Droid now, why would that change?
i switched from a droid to an Inc. the specs on the Inc were just super nice. i am glad i switched.
agreed with the comments so far. if you already have an incredible there's not much incentive to switch to the evo and to sprint imo. the incredible has the same processor, same camera, same os, and has a better form factor.
different people have different needs though and the evo will be a very good phone, just as the incredible and the droid are.
that said, here are the advantages of the evo vs the incredible:
-sprint's $70 all in plan
-4g
-4.3 screen vs 3.7
-front facing camera
-720p recording
-hdmi out

Unless you live in a big city and do not plan on traveling too much, 4G is a pipedream ATM. You will likely have that sweet display and trying to play a Flash vid on it, and waiting for it to load, while someone sitting near you is watching streaming vids with no problem on their Inc or Droid on Verizon
Seriously, Sprint 3G or above coverage is near weak levels of Tmo, which is terrible for coverage- unless in a bigger city. Even then, a lot of cities are only partially covered with high speed data access.
BTW, the HD2 has touch problems and is very slow in response time, compared to Desire and Inc. It will be interesting to see if they updated the sensors, like they did with those devices (they use the Nexus display with much better sensors).
What is the point of the great device and 4G- if it will take two years to have even a decent footprint of coverage? Are people assuming Sprint has the same highspeed data footprint as Verizon?
Verizon footprint = Lebron James foot
Sprint footprint = Verne Troyer foot (Mini me)
Tmo Footprint = Verne Troyer's big toe
