Techy people--which phone is better?

The iPhone 4s coming out or the EVO 4G?

I need something to use when at events for the store etc so I need something new (my BB SUCKS) but which is better.

Re: Techy people--which phone is better?

  • Have never used the IPhone but have the EVO and I love it. I had a BB before and would never go back. It is super easy to use and the internet is really fast. My only complaint is the battery seems to barely last a day if you are online a ton but I'm sure that is common with high tech phones.
  • I am an iPhone lover!  My vote goes to iPhone, but I've never used EVO either. 

  • Better is in the eye of the phone holder, but technically, the EVO is better.  It's 4G, the iPhone 4s is only 3G.  So there. 4G is faster.

    The iPhone is more user friendly for the non-techy person.  Granted I've never used an EVO.  I have a stupid BB too just biding my time until Feb at which time I will have to make the same decision.  At this point I'm leaning toward the EVO/any droid phone over the iPhone. 

    I'm pretty sure all phones have a 30 day return period - use it and try them both out.

    But, isn't Omaha/Lincoln only 3G at this point in time? You can only be as fast as the network you are on.

    This might be true.  I'm not techy enough to know.  A quick search around the web says the Verizon has released 4G LTE, whatever that means.  Nothing for Sprint.  Kinda makes my point worthles, I know.

    Verizon has had 4G since (I think) middle of August in Omaha.

  • I have sprint, EVOand have 4g that is always on. DH has Samsung's phone that is similar and his 4g rarely kicks on. Which is bs seeing as how we spend $10 a month extra for it! It does work in Iowa though.
  • For what its worth I adore my EVO!  Good luck!

  • Evo.  I had a BB until a few months back.  I couldn't decide between the iPhone and Android - so I went to several stores both here and in Omaha, and asked lots of questions.  Not one Verizon person suggested the iPhone for me.  There were, IMO, several downsides to the iPhone - mainly the lack of personalization and cost of apps.

    4G is amaaaaazing when I'm in Omaha.  It's always sad to when it shuts off on my way back home.  I didn't think I'd realize just how much faster it was....but I definitely can!

  • See my reply in Shannon's post below :) It's got a funny (but foul language) clip on the Evo vs. iPhone that I came across when wondering this same thing!

    EVO!

  • evo.  iPhone does not have flash...which means you cant view some websites.  Annoying.  I have the Evo and it is amazing!
  • I love my iPhone.  I like being able to use iTunes and not carry a separate device just for music.  It's the most user friendly phone I've ever had.  The camera is awesome.  I love that you can take pictures of yourself and see them (it has a 2 way camera).  The email function is way better than my old phone. 

    You'll want to double check but I think you pay extra for 4G.  3G is fast enough for what I do.  Websites load really quickly, music downloads faster than my computer!

    4G isn't available in Lincoln so I'm not worried about whether or not a phone has it.

    Everything I have been told at Sprint is 3G. Hmmm, I will have to ask again :)
