IPhone vs HTC EVO

It seems like HTC EVO is the biggest competition right now for the IPhone. I see what you guys are saying. The only thing is Sprint says 4g but you can't even get a signal in Lancaster SC. It only works good where the towers are. I had a contest with a friend at work with the HTC Evo. We pulled webpages to see who could pull them the fastest. Well of course IPhone won!!!! Now we were in the building and the excuse was Iphone won because it was in the building and if we were to go outside that the HTC would blow it out. I then told him who wants to go outside everytime they need to pull something up. AT&T works marvelous for me everywhere I go except for deep in the country where no cell phones work regardless of who you have!!!! Never had any issues. I had the first HTC touchscreen that came out. The Silver phone but cancel my service because of poor reception. The HTC EVO has alot going for it but again it only tried to copy the IPhone. HTC EVO has two cameras but it doesn't have one in the front of the phone to enable Video Call. IPhone is again the first but the immitaters will follow. Thats like Dish trying to keep up with DirecTV. They do all the things that DirecTV does and tries to make it better. Still you have the customers that started with DirecTV that hasn't had any problems will stay. If you never had DirecTV and then you see Dish and they have a special offer you will think Dish may be better. But only because you haven't experience the beauty of having DirecTV. Same with IPhone alot of the people that say other phones are better has not had the IPhone for themselves to see. As far as price the IPhone 4 is only $199. HTC evo is $299 with $100 dollar mail n Rebate!!!! Now there is alot of things that I do like about the HTC and one thing is the Big Screen it has. Good for watching movies and videos. As much as I love the Evo 4G's 4.3-inch touch screen, the size of the phone is still a bit of a turn-off to me. Though more durable, when it comes to sexiness, the iPhone wins, hands down. Now lets look some CNET reviews:

IPhone Call Quality and General Performance:

Call quality was just a hair behind the Evo 4G. It was by far the cleanest-sounding iPhone I've used when calls connected. But you've heard of the antenna issues, and in our tests call audio completely disappeared or became garbled when we touched the "magic spot." I know this doesn't affect everyone, but it's a big deal. It's a good thing the phone's improved battery life makes up for it. We squeezed out almost 8 hours of talk time over 3G.

HTC EVO Call Quality and General Performance:

The Evo 4G was superb, with some of the best call quality I've heard. It was clean, crisp, and clear on both sides of the call. That's right, I used the three Cs. Running on 4G is a blessing and a curse. You'll get awesome data speeds, but you'll be lucky to make it through a day. Plus, if you're running it on 3G, that large screen still drains the battery. Over 3G we were able to squeeze out 5.5 hours of talk time. One negative: if you're only on 3G, you'll still pay a $10 premium for the Evo 4G.


So you still have to pay for 4g even if you use it on 3G but still drains the battery like crazy. HTC I'd rather stick with IPhone on this one. On to the next review.

IPhone Sexiness and Durability:

The iPhone 4's edges are a little sharper and it's not as pleasant to hold as it once was. The screen is clearer than crystal clear. Its glass finish is supposedly more durable to scratches and drops. Its design is sexy but I don't consider this the sexiest phone out there anymore.

HTC EVO Sexiness and Durability:

This screen really wows. It's not as high resolution as the iPhone's, but in this case, size matters. The design is solid and clean, but it's still a little awkward to hold because of its larger size.

I've seen both and even though HTC EVO screen is really big it doesn't get a clearer picture than the IPhone.

Now in the overall Review from CNET HTC won 4.5 to 4.3!!!!!


The iPhone 4 took the early lead but stumbled in Round 3. The Evo's 4G features were simply unmatched in this case. To no surprise, the iPhone fought back in the multimedia and Web-browsing round(which is why I like the phone so much)--although the Evo held its own, too--but ultimately, the antenna issues were a vulnerable spot for the iPhone ( which will soon be updated and the antenna issue will be resolve and the IPhone will still be champ to me. For now, the HTC Evo 4G remains the champ.

Which smart Phone is better - IPhone, Droid, HTC, etc?

I think the IPhone is the best. It just seems to be a whole lot smoother that the other immitaters. Also, we have the IPhone 4 that here with Video Call. We bout to be like the Jetsons!!!!!
