AT&T Announces HTC Aria
$200.00??? They're going to sell 4 of these.
iphone4 got 960x640 resolution!, while this htc garbage got HVGA at 480x320! that is like comparing a analog tv to a HDTV! big difference!
What are you saying about HTC trash? After spending a week comparing the two and then to make it fair comparing the iPhone to a HTC Hero running 2.1 there is no comparison. It took some time but the Android phones have surpassed Apple.
AT&T is smart to get a better Android phone than the bizarre backflip.
Simply put, you're making this up.
I am not making it up, the EVO is way more responsive. I even told you which app I was using so you could try it yourself.
The EVO tops the 3GS in almost everything from a users point of view. We will see about the iPhone 4 which I will also sell.
I have nothing to lose or gain by posting my thoughts on this forum. I do not work for any carrier. I have mentioned numerous times to him that I have friends that bought the Evo. They just came off a three year stint owning iphones. They are blown away on how powerful and fast the Evo is. They feel like they have been sheltered from the world owning the iphone. While the iphone4 is a nice upgrade with many compelling features over the 3Gs, it still comes up slightly short of current offerings of other phones and by years end, will be trailing by far more.
Just for the record: I too, was not a proponent of Android. I took my chance with the Evo. Wow!
Why this religious devotion to Apple? They are a mere manufacturer. Why do people allow a company to control their entire experience with the product. it makes no sense. Isn't open source better than being controlled?
While the iphone is elegant, sophisticated and luxurious, it is not practical. Blue claims the iphone does things better. I tend to agree. However, it doesn't do many things I desire. On tip of lacking features, I will not succumb to control and dictation. I deal with that every day at work. I don't need it on a product I pay top buck for. My phone, my choice. This is how Apple lost market share many years ago. It is starting to happen all over again.
I chose to exchange detail for favor of more function and freedom.
Bull. Crap.

We put the 3GS next to the Evo running a game app that is common to Android and the iPhone (LineUp) The Evo's screen is much more responsive than the iPhone's. The iPhone often does not recognize a tap on the screen. The Evo always recognizes the taps. Game play on the Evo is far superior to the iPhone.

Nobody says "Gee, I want a phone like an iPhone, but with a worse display, slower UI, less responsive touchscreen, terrible warranty support, a craptastic UI (Sense) , a smaller app store, a lower quality app store, a questionable upgrade path, and a likely chance the phone will bug out within 4 months."

True. But some are also saying, why bother dealing with a craptastic carrier like AT&T who is overpriced and now stingy with their data when they can buy an Evo instead with a much better voice and data plan and way better 3g coverage. Even with the $10 add on charge, it still beats AT&T's competing plan by...

P.S. Sprint's 3G coverage may be broader than AT&T's, but their actual network coverage is far worse. Not helping is the fact that their 3G network is slow as hell too.

(Let's put it this way: Sprint hasn't gotten a single bill right for me 2 months in a row in 5 years. 5 years. )
The iPhone is a great device, no question but Android is very powerful and user friendly. The base of apps is growing quickly. The majority of the apps are free unlike going through iTunes.
Most of what you are saying is your opinion and cannot really be proven.
We deal with plenty of defective iPhones so that is a wash. The upgrade path is not at all questionable. When a new version of Android arrives you download it if the manufacturer of the phone allows for it.
Are you saying that every engineer who does not work for Apple is stupid? What you perceive to be a weakness is also a strength, that there are...

i like my windows mobile 6.55, mostly going to get WP7 !
Translation: I didn't see Google's developer conference last month.
"The majority of the apps are free unlike going through iTunes. "
Translation: I am unaware of all of the free applications available on the iPhone.
"We deal with plenty of defective iPhones so that is a wash."
Translation: I've never dealt with HTC's customer support.
"The upgrade path is not at all questionable. When a new version of Android arrives you download it if the manufacturer of the phone allows for it."
Translation: down is up.
I agree with some of your posts and believe that your a smart guy, but some of your other posts are just outlandish and biased...
Translation: NOT EVERYONE LIKES/WANTS AN IPHONE
On your planet is there anyone who can communicate other than you? I have told you I have respect for the iPhone Why did you not translate that?
You talk like you are some high level developer but you appear to be totally ignorant of how a user's experience matters. Are you so far into the world of ones and zeros that you see no value in real world usage?
My customers do not care about the junk you spout. Their question is "how will it work for me?" For them it's a matter of "what is best FOR ME?" It could be RIM, Winmo, iPhone, Android or a phone first device.
My original post was merely as a user stating an experience but you felt like I was...

At least my Droid has a 3.7in screen, much better than the 3.2in on this thing.
Screw MIRs, processing centers are extremely inefficient, and rebates are a waist of a customers time. People are better off going to Best Buy!!!
best buy reps no absolutley jack about the phones they sell
I'm not some 50y/o, I know how to use a smartphone!

theyre not totally inept. Any moron can learn the specs of a phone, but send a customer back to a Best Buy 6 months after buying the phone from them with some questions and try to get the care and attention they would get in the carrier store. Customers should also know that if you buy your phone at a Best Buy or dare I say walmart, dont come to me and expect to get a lesson on how to use your phone. 😎
If you don't understand your phone in SIX months, dude, you have some issues.
just get a regular cellphone!

yeah and then go to a different store to get answers or help with setup

I am not a big fan of BB, but, I will say this, I was treated right and taken care of well by the local BB when it came to upgrading my mobile data from my older usb dongle to a Sprint Overdrive. Was significantly cheaper then Sprint, they department manager even got me the overdrive/ipad case which isn't available in my area. I might agree with you on other departments in the store, but not with these people.

What I think is fair is to buy a smartphone @ Best Buy and not have to deal with the stupid MIR at all!!!

Hey I was going to say that!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to talk Rich into doing a weekly Phone Scoop podcast, I listen to Android Central's podcasts regularly.
I do know that sprintusers.com has a podcast, how often its put out, not sure. I can get you more information if you need.
*sprintuser*. 😕
What I'd really like to have is a Blu-Ray player with Netflix streaming and Wifi N!!!!!

$200.00 is pretty steep for something that is slower than a Nexus One, is littered with the terrible HTC Sense UI, won't ship with Android 2.2, and only comes with a 2GB Memory Card.
In case you've haven't noticed, Apple-Boy, nothing ships with Froyo.
And 'Droid 2.1 is already better than iOS 4.
