Well I dropped my Palm Pre and went to the EVO. What a difference! I gave the Pre to a coworker and now whenever I see it or mess with it, it just feels cheap and really poorly made…both in the hardware and the software.
There’s only been one or 2 instances where I thought “well the Palm did that better” but it’s more of what I’m used to than what other people might think.
As everyone has complained about, yes it does chew thru the battery but each user’s experience will vary. Even if I plug mine in to charge every time I’m at my desk, I’m usually at 15% by 4pm while someone else up here doesn’t charge theirs and is running around 50% at the same time.
I’m a tweak monster right now so I’m constantly pushing the thing to see what all it will do. Downloading and installing every app if it looks interesting and deciding to keep or uninstall as I go.
As I said, I’ve switch from the Pre and if you have one and are wondering if you should switch, I have to wonder why the hell you wouldn’t?
I found a great place http://htcevoapps.com/ that’s been updating nearly daily with cool little apps to tweak your EVO…or Android phone in general. It’s a good place to start in order for you to get a good idea of what the phone and OS have to offer.
