Some weeks ago after my iPhone grew couple of more dead pixels an offer for a fancy new EVO 4G has landed in my inbox. So my journey in the Android world began.
First let’s have a look at the sizes of various hardware features. EVO 4G has bigger screen, louder speakers, morepixels in the camera & an extra camera as a cherry on top. Bigger is better. Period.
A huge advantage for me was multi tasking, no more choosing between listening to pandora and twittering! But for months now it is known that iPhone is also getting this, so no heavy points here. Heavy points go for customization tho, on the first page of my phone i have full controls forPandora, google search (searches phone for apps as well) and a handful of apps. In other words thanks to mainly widgets, android can have “workspaces” on your phone, rather than “app launcher containers” of iPhone.
On the dark side i had a lot more WTF moments, first time i lunched “Spark” app my phone wouldn’t stop vibrating, not even after exiting the app. I ended up restarting the phone. Pandora & Flash have the tendency to crash every couple of days. The apps seem to lag behind considerably as well, the games that i tried out engaged me less than iPhone ones. One app had on the splash screen written something about using the buttons, i couldn’t figure out how to use it, another one told me it is not supported on my handset.
So overall, which one is better? It all depends on your needs bla bla bla bla… Let me ask you this question, which one allows you to turn the bellow picture in your temp office (HotSpot app!)?
