AT&T's awful network is the reason I ended up switching to an HTC Evo 4G on Sprint. I knew the iPhone 4 was going to be great, but the fact that AT&T is awful in my city meant it wasn't an option. If I was the sort of person who used a BB for business and a separate phone for personal, the iPhone 4 on ATT would be tolerable, but that isn't me.
After years of ATT's awful network, my first few minutes on Sprint gave me nerd chills: the same nerd chills I got when I was 15 and surfed the internet with broadband for the first time.
- tlrobinson 16y agoI can't decide which is worse, AT&T's network, or HTC Evo 4G's battery life...
- spamizbad 16y agoI think reviews overstate the battery life matter. Mine drops to 40-50% after a day of use from 8am to 10pm. I don't use any fancy app killers or anything like that, I just only turn on 4G and GPS when necessary, have my 3G radio set up to activate on-demand, and rely on Wi-Fi for my data needs (My apartment, favorite bar, and office all have Wi-Fi). The first few days of ownership I was actually struggling to wear my battery down to <5% so I could do a full charge cycle. Note: I have a "Rev B." Evo. My biggest complaint is that 4G service indoors is awful (close to non-existent unless you live in a house made of paper), and outdoors it is very latent even with a strong signal ( 200+ms)
- tlrobinson 16y agoWell, I've never gotten through a whole day without draining mine completely, even with 4G/WiFi/GPS usually off. I'm not sure which revision I have (got it at Google IO)
