HTC EVO 'REAL REVIEW' Part 2

Using Your Phone to Stay Organized

One of the best things about having a smartphone like this is all the different widgets that you can use. You got Twitter, friend stream, emails, page view, and so on. I personally love using the Twitter widget because it's always up-to-date with what my friends are saying. If someone just sent me a tweet, I'll scroll down and see what they said.

The friend stream is also really convenient because if you have accounts on multiple social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, it logs them all together into one place so you don't have to keep opening up each account individually. This way, you can easily stay connected with your friends and family without having to log in to each platform separately.

You can scroll through the friend stream from left to right or top to bottom, whichever is more comfortable for you. It's like having a virtual scrapbook of all the updates from your loved ones in one place. And if you're always on-the-go, this feature is especially useful because it allows you to quickly check in with everyone at once without having to pause what you're doing.

Using Your Phone in Airports and While Traveling

When I'm traveling or waiting in an airport, I like to use my phone to stay entertained. One of the apps that I really love using is Flight View. It's a flight tracking app that allows me to check on my flights, including departure times, arrival times, gate assignments, and even baggage claim information. This app has been a lifesaver for me when I've had issues with flights or lost luggage in the past.

To use the app, I just type in the airline and flight number, and it gives me all the necessary details about my flight. It's really convenient because I don't have to worry about searching online for this information or calling the airline directly. The app also allows me to easily plan my trip by showing me where I need to be at what time.

Overall, Flight View is a must-have app for anyone who travels frequently. It saves you so much time and hassle when it comes to dealing with flights and travel arrangements. And even if you're not a frequent traveler, this app is still worth having because it's just that useful.

Using Your Phone in Different Environments

One of the best things about this phone is its battery life. I was able to use it for two hours straight without needing to recharge it, which is amazing considering how much screen time I got while watching videos or browsing social media.

I also love the fact that this phone has a kickstand on it, which allows me to prop it up and watch movies or videos while I'm sitting. This feature has been especially useful for me because I often find myself sitting in airports or waiting in lines, and having my phone at eye level makes it so much easier to watch what I want.

The phone's screen is also beautiful, with vivid colors and a clear display that makes everything look crystal clear. Whether I'm scrolling through social media, watching videos, or browsing the internet, the screen quality is top-notch and really enhances my overall experience with the phone.

Using Apps for Productivity and Entertainment

In addition to staying connected with friends and family, this phone also has a wide range of apps that can help you stay productive and entertained. One of my favorite apps is Flight Track, which I mentioned earlier.

Flight Track is an app that allows you to track your flights in real-time, including departure times, arrival times, gate assignments, and even baggage claim information. It's really convenient because it saves me time and hassle when it comes to dealing with flights and travel arrangements.

Another app that I love using is a flight tracking one called Flight View. As I mentioned earlier, this app allows you to check on your flights and plan your trip by showing you where you need to be at what time. It's really useful because it saves me so much time and hassle when it comes to dealing with flights.

Overall, I think that these apps are essential for anyone who travels frequently or is always on-the-go. They save you so much time and hassle when it comes to dealing with flights and travel arrangements, and they're just that convenient.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyo what's up it's your boy floss I'm back again part two of the HTC Evo now that I had the phone for the whole weekend you know I got to play with a little bit more find out a little bit of things I like about it and a few things I don't like about it and I'll share with you guys all right first of all let me just address a little couple I've been getting a lot of comments about something I said about the box or whatever like I said man that's just my opinion I like a nice box when I buy some you know look at this this this is a cheap box like a like a egg box look look in comparison to the HD2 box look at this nice thick box look at the trim in know nice heavy box that you could save you know put your phone back in it if you're going to sell it you know it just looks nice and it's much better that's just my opinion you know I like a nice box anyway back to the phone first of all you already know the phone like I said with the unboxing it doesn't come with a case so you're going to have to go and get a gel case or one of those you know the clip on cases or a holster type case I went for the holster case they selling that Sprint they want $40 for it it's a nice leather case it doesn't have the swivel so that's the only thing you're going to have to decide whether you want to it fits right in you're going to have to decide and it's nice and thin if you want to wear it on the front or on the side now everybody knows the big cell phone on the waist look that that look is kind of out these days so you know but you got to do what you got to do you know if you want to carry around a big 4.3 in screen phone you know you got to make a sacrifice whatever like I said the phone one of the issues I'm having with it is the battery but there's a few ways to get around it the batter is not that great so here's a couple of things you could do to save some battery you could dim the screen as low as as you could dim it and that will definitely save the battery something go to the GPS turn off the GPS turn off the location turn off the Wi-Fi you know all that type of that you know you can look online they have different tips and tricks how to save battery life but I find if you if you dimm the screen that should do it to give you a good 6 7 hours also if you have a Blackberry or Palm Prix the same charger works for all of them so if you get a car charger for either one of them you don't have to go and buy another one I'm using you know when I'm at work I keep I got all of these phones so I keep a bunch of charges around so just keep a few charges run and you be right also you know when you buy the phone they going to they make you pay extra $10 a month all right whatever small price so you got to pay whatever that's cool but if you want the the mobile hotspot you're going to have to pay $29.95 a month extra now that's a little steep you know even for a ball like myself that's a little bit steep just to have the internet connection especially when I have wireless card and all that and you know I'm always places where they got Wi-Fi I don't really know if it's worth it for me $29 most likely I'm going just get it anyway just because but you might not want to go and spend an extra $20 $9 just for that So eventually I guess they're going to drop the price when other other carriers start making phones that do the same thing then it'll Drop Like I said the screen though you you you can't go wrong with this screen size this is huge the phone is amazingly light you know it it takes up a lot of space though like when you put it in your car it's not like the other phone you just drop it right in your cup holder or drop it in one of those little phone holders it's it's kind of big but I like it it's worth it let me give you a comparison this is a flow TV look at this the difference the Evo is actually bigger than the flow TV you know as far as comparison size to the Palm Prix it's it's almost two Palm PR Blackberry same thing can fit two blackberries on this screen so if if screen Siz is what you're looking for then you're going to need one of these and now I'm getting used I've been using this the whole week and like I said I'm getting used to this one now I'm picking up my Blackberry I'm like what is this like I'm so used to the screen size on this one it's going to be hard for me to go back to the small screen phones and now a lot of people they they say well you know I don't really want to go touch screen CU I'm used to texting a lot or whatever this phone like I said I've been playing with it check out this feature I found on it is kind of hot say I want to I'm driving and I don't want to be tapping the screen you just hit the voice teex to uh text to speech call me back call me back I mean it it works like a charm every time and you don't have to train the speech or nothing you just speak clearly regular and it pops right there I like that feature you know I'm I'm going to use that a lot like I said as far as the phone itself though you know I went through this briefly but you got all the different widgets that you could use like you got a whole Twitter widget I use that all the time and the friend stream first we look at the emails you could I put it in page view you could just scroll up and down look at your different emails you know scroll to the side somebody just sent me a tweet anyway let's just let's just get out of this you know like I said you scroll down whatever now let's look at the friend stream the friend stream is good because because if you have Twitter and you have Facebook and all that stuff it logs them all together into one on one page so this way you don't have to keep opening up your Facebook and then go back and open your Twitter you get all your updates from everybody will just come up let me use my other hand I'm not used to scrolling with my my right hand oh I'm still loading all right well like I said you scroll up and down on this oh here we go I'm underground so I get a little bit of loading problems down down here like I said but when when you outside this loads up like this nothing let's take a look at the YouTube put on the YouTube real quick like I said the the the quality beautiful wow okay I'm underground so right now it's giving me um I don't have any reception oh here we go we try to play a YouTube video I don't know if y'all seen that video of the little kid smoking the cigarettes it's disgusting it's funny but it's disgusting good entertainment though you know but whatever let's see where if this could come up down here like I said they got the 4G in New York 4G is not really that big yet so I have yet to really connect yet but you see how the videos look beautiful and this is underground so you you can imagine when I'm upstairs or when when I'm out in the street this works great also you know with the phone having the kickstand on it today I was sitting for 2 hours I had the phone propped up like this you know I'm watching movies you know you it's it's way better than having to you know why am I driving around with flow TV now you know cut this this cuts down one of my shits I got to carry you know what I'm saying anyway let's look at some other stuff there's there there's a bunch of apps on this that I like that you know me I'm I'm I'm always in the airport I'm always traveling I'm always doing a whole bunch of stuff they have an application called flight track now flight track is good now a lot of people if you fly a lot or whatever you use Flight View to

American Airlines let's check on a flight let's see um a flight that I'm familiar with 950 South poo it it tells you what time the flight leaves what time the flight gets to the gate 5:41 a.m. tells you the terminal the aircraft which baggage claim you got to go to all that you know that's a good app for a traveling person like myself or somebody who's you know dealing with a lot of people who travel you can't go wrong like I said the the touch screen it works smooth clear it's easy to type on on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm going to give this phone a solid 10 this is a phone that you need you got to get this even if you don't if you're not up for an upgrade you you got to pay the full 400 4 was like 450 and change whatever pay it whatever phone you got if you got a Blackberry if you got a
