Unboxing the HTC EVO 4G, part 2

[MrKash28]

The battery bubbles when you talk n charge ya phone at the same time also and when you leave it on charge along time after its done

[raptor80cc]

warning to anyone buying an evo - I got one a year ago this August, and the battery in these is apparently notorious for going bad. One day last week, my phone just wouldn't power on. Wouldn't register to charge or anything at all. Took it to the Sprint store. They took the battery out and spun it on the table then informed me my battery had started to "balloon" and that the evo batteries do that in abt a year. got a new battery free of charge though!

[ROFL69Productions]

In your opinion, which is a better phone? the EVO or the Incredible?

[qrpkgrl]

@ROFL69Productions Neither. Both are getting dated.

[JasnoGT]

@qrpkgrl

Yes both are dated but with Android its always like that. Its dated as soon as its released. But I got my Incredible 1 brand new for free 4 months ago and love it! I dont care for front facing camera. People are still rockin and holding on to their old iphones 3g/s and Nexus Ones. Its all about preference. I just sold an Old sprint HTC Hero for $80 last month and they love it. If you like your phone, Keep it! :P

[JasnoGT]

@ROFL69Productions

I prefer my Incredible. Its been proven to be a tad faster on some tests. I dont care for a front facing camera and I love the optical trackpad. Its light and has the perfect size IMO. However, you extra features, 4G and bigger screen (though heavier phone) go with the Evo. But Verizon 3G is plenty fast I've noticed.

[JasnoGT]

@JasnoGT incredible also does 720p HD now. :D

[rayrice8]

Wat is ur number so we can video chat?

[MrsGentlemen]

[themaffuboy]

[qrpkgrl]

PS: Next time read my profile - it's better than making a complete ass of yourself in front of thousands :)

crap box, killa unboxing

[JasonRVersace]

i love your unboxing :)

[qrpkgrl]

@JasonRVersace thanks.

[albameat]

nice

[MR9872]

I understand that everyone who attended the Google I/O event recieved an HTC Evo 4G. But I was wondering how you got into the event. Did you get an invitation?

[qrpkgrl]

@MR9872 Press gets in for free, developers have to pay $450 I think. Either way you just register, but it sells out quickly.

[MR9872]

Hdnf

[92youngbear]

Where are you from? I cant tell where you accent is from. lol

[ghostwithrope]

lol, you just proved to the world wide web that NO ONE reads manuals!!! LOL

[qrpkgrl]

@ghostwithrope haha, yep :)

[generationkid]

does it come with headphones, how do i become a "reviewer person" and a developer!?

[ThaThrowah]

Thanks, and by the way, nice hair.

2:58-3:08

[qrpkgrl]

@ThaThrowah Glad you like my mohawk :)

[ThaThrowah]

No wall charger or case?

[qrpkgrl]

@ThaThrowah No case, but if you actually watch the video and pay attention, I show and talk about the AC adapter (wall charger) at 1:54.

[memyselfandi24able]

My goodness, it's like he was pulling the phones out of his back pocket

[qrpkgrl]

@memyselfandi24able It's she, not he.

[papibelle]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing with us!

[ogriv1985]

is it a day of constant use and doing everything possible

[qrpkgrl]

@ogriv1985 Average use overall - I'm a light user when it comes to talking and texting and the web, but I'm a heavy user when it comes to Twitter, email, music and photography.

My primary phone is a Nexus One and I'm seeing almost identical battery life - about 2 days with my use split about evenly between the 2 devices.

[fearmeyo]

Wow man, where do you get all these phones? I'm 14 and im getting a white iphone 3gs tomorrow, but I dont know whether to wait for the ipone 4g. I would really like an iphone asap!!!

[qrpkgrl]

@fearmeyo I have a pretty successful blog (see my profile) so the manufacturers and carriers send me phones to review - I only get to keep them for a few weeks. I'm also a developer so every now and then I get a phone for free when attending a conference (like the EVO 4G). I also buy phones sometimes (like my Nexus One or my iPhone).

[efhqjtrhaqte]

can you get better battery for it?

[ogriv1985]

wat is battery life like

[qrpkgrl]

@ogriv1985 I can easily use for 1 day and sometimes even 2 days (I turn it off for about 6 hours at night).

[LdotD23]

iphone 4 is killin al the competition rite now.....hahahahaah

[hybridindian]

You were able to wait over night? Man, you've got some self discipline. LOL!

Nice video.

[qrpkgrl]

@hybridindian Ah the things I do for my readers :)

[breezy52393]

ok the screens does not need to get any bigger lol we dnt wanna have to hold a ipad to our hear

[Dangelo1990]

LOVE THIS PHONE! this is definately the phone of the year! just hate that sprint was so cheap and didnt include any earphones with it! O.o

[sn95chico]

right now i own the nexous one i love it but i want a bigger screen

i was going to buy the evo because im off contract but there is going to be better phones soon and i dont want 2 year contract

is the evo in your app that much nicer then the n1

[2logical]

Nice review/tour of the device. i'll be getting it next week. Would have loved to see sprint yellow in place of all that red though...

[WarXxandXxPeace]

Lord... I pre-ordered mine a few days ago, but the waiting game is driving me NUTS. I just can't wait until June 4th. Fuckers will be lucky if I even show up to work. lol

[adam7425]

my precioussssssss!

[Ecoteric]

just a sick, sick phone... will be mine June 4th

[axeltony]

omg ur using both hands that fucking awesome.... love ur reveiws

[EpicRegret]

Are u planning on keeping the phone? It is my b-day this monday LOL

But anyway, great unboxing! Great phone!

[Vest223]

HTC incredible and HTC Evo FTW. I own both devices I was lucky enuff to be there at Google . But yeah I prefer the incredible more just becuase its smaller but that's just me. There both beasts though. I use my incredible for business purposes and the Evo for entertainment like movies all that good stuff.You can't go wrong on neither of these devices

[AP3]

@Vest223 agreed.

[benkalziqi]

Battery is the same as the Hero, not the Incredible. I think.

[qrpkgrl]

@benkalziqi Check the pictures on my blog post (link in the video description)

[benkalziqi]

@qrpkgrl

I didn't see anything about the battery in the blog post (unless it's in the video, which I have not yet watched). However, the Incredible has a 1300mAh battery whereas the Evo has a 1500mAh battery.

[qrpkgrl]

@benkalziqi There's a link in my blog post to my unboxing pictures on Flickr (or just click on that one picture in my blog post to take you to the set on Flickr). One of the pictures on Flickr shows the 2 batteries (and the 2 phones)...

[qrpkgrl]

@benkalziqi Both batteries are red, and are the exact same width and height with the contacts located in the same place. The EVO's is thicker (1500 mAh) than the Incredible's (1300 mAh) but they are interchangeable.

The Nexus One battery is completely different, but you are right, the Hero (US version) battery is identical (other than the color)!

[breethingmartyr]

@benkalziqi its bigger in the evo

[T7Konvicted]

how did you get one?

[qrpkgrl]

@T7Konvicted everyone attending Google I/O received one.

[LimitedSickness]

i think this phone is too big im just gonna buy the incredible

[loungo1567]

it come with the most ugly ass box.

[IKILLEDUSUCKA10]

So u just get a 2gb card WTF?!!

[qrpkgrl]

@IKILLEDUSUCKA10 You get an 8 GB micro-SD card (already installed in the phone). The additional 2 GB micro-SD card is Google I/O gift (I don't think it's going to be included with the retail version).

[Daniyom]

Nice video... can't wait on the first look vid with the Evo!! Love the included comparisons with numerous devices!

[chriscem]

L U C K Y bastard

[qrpkgrl]

@chriscem Actually, that's lucky bitch :)

[chriscem]

@qrpkgrl  hahaha
