I'm looking into getting a smart phone and a data plan, not sure what to choose for a phone. My phone currently is a very basic Samsung Seek, haha. But I want a very nice phone to maybe even replace my ipod touch all together, with music and all that. I really like this phone and it seems to be a great investment. I mainly use my phone to text, and I take a liking to the touch keyboard on my ipod. HTC EVO 4g or the EVO Shift? the shift has a slide out keyboard. is the virtual one on this better?
@DollFaceIncorporated Auto-correct and spell check can be adjusted by going to settings(from home screen by pressing menu)/language and keyboard/Touch input/text input and then un-checking the corresponding buttons
What happens when you get a text? Like, i believe its one of the Droids, but when you get a text, a little alert bar will come up at the top of the screen saying you have a text, so it doesen't disturb what your doing. Does it do that or have a big annoying disturbing thing come up saying that you have a text, like on most phones before the androids came out?
@BenjiXbass Same process for the Evo pretty much all Android phones handle text that way. Some apps will allow you to get a more disruptive pop up for text (handcent the app I use does) but it can be turned off.
@barabas221 Defintely getting the 3D, but sorry the Evo will be sold towards the purchase of the 3D. I wish I had it like that to just give it away though believe me. Unfortunately I am a poor student lol
@royalone31 hi sir i have my brand new samsung omnia i900.. but i love the evo.. can we trade my omnia and your evo sir..? plssssssss.... i beg you.. :((
Please how the hell do i remove the texting sound??? and theres no spell check anymore, i kinda miss my iphone this evo is like jumping thru hoops....
Does the screen light up when you get a text message or any other message or does the EVO just give a subtle indication like on the Blackberry with the indicator light when a message is received?
Gotta a quick question..hope someone can help me??? I have the HTC EVO and for some reason, my phone doesn't offer a notification to let me know that I received a text while I'm on a phone call, but it shows in the notfification box, meaning that I have to constantly look in my notification box or wait until I'm off my call to be notified of a text received???? I can send messages and everything else while on a call, but not being notified...Does anyone kno how to fix this???
@dkutie4real my phone usually makes a sound or vibrates, i haven't changed the default settings on it so idk whats up with oyus, i love the phone tho!
thanks for the review! i'm thinking about getting the phone but i wanted to see the keyboard first! and i didnt know about the speaker thing! it sounds like a great phone!
@than143 : dont do it ! that is the worst thing i think you can do. Although sprint's phones are cool the employees are rude and sprint never wants to repair your phone even if you do have insurance ,
@than143 u should actually i switched and i can tell sprint is better than at&t becuase i used to have it and when i got my new phone on sprint i got unlimited messages without deciding or not so u migth wanna switch its better
Hey I am getting new phones. I am very interested in the Evo 4G, or the HTC Touch Pro2. (because it has a full keyboard). Honestly, I want the EVO 4G way more, but I enjoy having a full (not touch) keyboard. This video really helped me see how easy it is to text on a touch screen. If you were to make this decision, what would you choose. Is the EVO REALLY that easy to text on??? Thanks.
@WHOdatXboxGuyz EVO hands down! I am coming from TP1>Hero>Evo and both android handsets win. My sister has the TP2 and More of the same just with better hardware. Winmo is trash to Android, period IMO. She moved to texas but I may be able to grab another TP2 and do a vid soon
@footballfrk101 It'll let you keep typing and automatically split it up into separate texts when you send it. It also tells you how many you're sending .. so the character count might say something like "57/2", which means 57 characters remaining on the second text.
Hi, I plan on getting the EVO next week and I forgot to ask this question at the store, with the texting is it threaded. Like will my conversation with the person still be there. (gosh I hope I'm explaning this right)
@ponyxpress2002 Go to the stock sms app. hit menu/settings and then i think its under notifications, turn off notifications and auto retrieve. Make sure that those two options are on in handcent
thanks a million.... god bless ur videos.... u should make an youtube HQ video... do u know a website where I can download full lenght movies and watch them on my evo tomorrow?
@prflyboy24 Thank you. You know I hadn't even thought of that lol... I use Vuse its a torrent management program or something like that, anyway you can get it at vuse[dot]com its easy to use and gets most movies, shows and other media. online you might could try 10starmovies[dot]com I stream movies from my laptop to my tv from there hadnt thought to try it on the Evo, may try it and post that tonight if i have time ;)

hey whats up.....I think that text messaging clien is awesome... thanks for this video.. i say this because standard text messages only take up to 160 letter characters.. in that client, it seems to be unlimited lol!!... another question ... on the very top left of the phone i saw a battery symbol with the number 92 on it.. is that how much battery is left ??.... is there a specific client for that feature please let me know the name if there is and i'm getting an evo tomorrow.. yes!!!!!!...lol
Do you know if they fix the SD card docking problem? I heard theres a design fault causing to the cards to go corrupt because the connection isnt as solid
@2k4camthrilla Not sure. I never used the card that was provided in my Evo its in my girlfirends Moment with no isues. I dropped in my 16 gb as soon as I opened the box lol
I am a Hero owner... Going to be Evo owner tomorrow, and I want to know if there is any lag when you type. My Hero has horrible lag and it makes me hate to text anything.
@Royalone31 Thats good. I really like your videos. You came from a Hero as well and that makes them tremendously useful to me. Thanks and keep up the great work!
