One of the best phones from Sprint is arguably the HTC Evo. It is also one of the best phones to run the Android operating system. This phone runs on the 4G network, which offers a significantly better experience than the 3G, running at a speed 10 times faster. Unfortunately, 4G is not yet available in the majority of locations. The phone requires all customers to purchase the additional ten dollar 4G data pack, regardless of whether or not they are located in an area that offers 4G coverage. The phone has a front facing camera, which is great for video chat, as well as an eight megapixel camera. The wireless hotspot feature allows you to connect up to eight devices to the internet.
Although the Evo is one of the largest phones in this era, it's not surprising given its extreme capabilities. It weighs about six ounces, and it is nearly five inches tall. Still, the phone is fairly thin, half an inch. The size of the phone is somewhat forgivable given the size of the screen, which makes it possible to view most web pages with ease. The size alone of the touch screen makes the on-screen keyboard easily functional, competing with the iPhone. Accessories are fairly sparse in the package that comes with the phone, lacking even a holster, but the capabilities of the phone itself make up for this for the most part.
The user interface is a modification of Android, known as HTC Sense. This is one of the best modifications of the core operating system available, even more intuitive. Your schedule and email can be viewed through widgets that come ready with the phone. It informs you of the weather in your area, and allows you to organize your contacts into groups. Friend Stream keeps you updated on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, and just clicking on a contact lets you see all the recent communications you have had with them.
The phone was originally released with the Android 2.1 operating system, but it is now available with Android 2.2. The new operating system not only features Google maps, animated wallpapers, but other exciting new features as well. This was the first phone to be released with the specialized YouTube player, and the larger screen is great for watching videos. An HDMI port makes it possible for you to stream 720p videos to your television. A 1.3 megapixel camera sits on the front of the phone, enabling video chat to take place, and the 8 megapixel camera is capable of recording high definition video and high quality photographs.
The 4G speeds are a drastic improvement over 3G, allowing download speeds up to ten times as fast. The wireless hotspot feature allows the phone to connect up to eight devices to the internet. Even so, Sprint TV still lagged somewhat and 4G is not available in all areas. It is considered to be a little misleading since the $10 4G data package is mandatory with the phone. The wireless hotspot is a nice feature, but costing an additional thirty dollars in addition to the already steep 80 dollar data plan, it won't be worth the cost for most people.
The batteries performed well, providing about twelve hours of continuous use without a problem. Call clarity was very clear and the video recordings made from the phone were very impressive. The 1 GHz processor could handle most of the work thrown at it, and the HDMI port was useful, although it didn't offer any settings.
