This is my first post dictating on my HTC Evo 4G with the Wordpress app . I am strictly speaking to the Evo.

So far I’ve truly enjoyed the Evo 4G from Sprint, the device only has a couple of quirks. The battery is a slight hold back, but by now I have it setup in a manner that is perfect for me, and battery leakage is no longer an issue for me.

Put it this way. If you were a Ferrari or Lamborghini owner would you put regular octane gas in it? Or would you put premium or 110 octane in it? You knew going into that purchase that the car would get horrible gas mileage and it would be a little more for the price of fuel. But why did you buy it then? Because you knew it was a performance driven monster, and you were willing to take the small short falls for the enormous gains. These are exceptions we have to take when dealing with high performance devices. I really do have to say that battery complaints are over stated. I leave in the morning with a full charge, by 9:45PM I have to plug it in. To a deep geek like myself it is not a problem. I “manage” my phone like I would my PC, when I am not browsing or working the device hard I turn off 4G and wifi, that simple.  I get “total control” of what my device does, when I want to do it, not when it decides to do it. I am its master, and it loves being punished.

Manage this
Pundits complain about Android and how you have to “manage” the environment, well that’s something that comes with the ability to multi-task. We will see how well Windows Phone 7 and IOS4 are able to handle it down the road without “user management” . For me, I like control, I like freedom, I want sheer face peeling speeds, and I will take the pit falls that come with it. 4G is awesome, I mean it obviously is not everywhere (for me it is), and speeds vary, but ATT still does not even have 3G for the iPhone properly sorted.

Steve’s Zoo
For me personally my Evo 4G is the device for me, if you want to be a monkey of the Steve Jobs zoo then hop on board with the new iPhone, if you want to be a roaring lion roaming free to do as you as you please then get a Evo 4G.  For me  I prefer power and I don’t mind plugging it in. In time software will update the battery issues and applications will come out to help manage this. If you are simply that concerned then you are not ready for the real brute force the Evo 4G provides, and should stick with your outdated Blackberry or non impressive iPhone. 5 Mega-pixel camera? Wow, that is too bad, still on ATT 3G? I do not feel your pain. Hello Google Voice on 4G with crystal clear clarity.  If I could get a plan without cellular minutes I would, that is how good Google Voice is on this device. Hello live streaming video off my 3G or 4G connection (iPhone is only 802.11) .

Google has really only put a year and a half of hardcore promotion of Android devices, they are already eating up a large market share for such a young product, so what does five years looks like for Android? If Windows Phone 7 does not intervene Google might have the iPhone’s guts strewn all over Cupertino’s roads by then.  Apple is scared, mainly because the iPhone is no longer king, and if you think the iPhone 4 will be king then you are flat out wrong. The iPhone 4 is not new, it is not revolutionary like the first iPhone. When I mean “King” I mean king of the “new”, king of innovations, king of new technology. Acer this year will have a Android phone that is 2GHZ and AMOLED, tell me what you think of that iPhone user? Steve wont even let you see the core speed of the A4. When you buy something with your recession proof money don’t you want to OWN it, and not lease it?  They lied about the screen resolution on the iPhone 4, and they have lied about the specs of the IPS screen, what else are they feeding you?

Suggestions
Jump ship, if you are not sold on the Evo 4G then get another gun slinging Android device (Incredible, Droid 2, Shadow, Nexus one) or wait to see what Windows Phone 7 brings to the table. The iPhone to me is the Justin Bieber’s of phones. It wears skinny jeans, and men’s ked’s, and lies to teenage girls to get to 3rd base (or to steal the parents credit cards), and the Evo is the Steve McQueen of the game, he drank a lot but damn was he fast (and probably still lied to underage girls).

Innovation’s lost
I would not be dictating this if I felt like the iPhone 4 was a destroyer of mobile worlds like the first iPhone. But it simply was not ground breaking. Nothing to me about the iPhone 4 screams at me and says INNOVATION! It says to me that Apple is playing it safe.

Cobweb’s
My suggestions to the average smart phone user trying to decide the iPhone or Android route would be to wait it out till the winter to see what Microsoft has in that magic hat, if it is another fail then go the Android route. But by that time Steve and his clones will have another shiny version of the iPhone out, complete with new revolutionary 6 mega-pixel camera, and new ultra retina display (I kid). Take the cob web’s off your eyes and do the research, devices are so alike in so many ways now it is just a matter of personal preference. If you like to feel like the “king of the road” then get the Evo, if you like Justin Bieber, skinny jeans and Twilight movies then get the iPhone.

Yes, it is that simple.

Dictation over.
