Comparing diagonal dimensions between different aspect ratios is misleading.

qHD PenTile is less sharp than non-Pentile WVGA. Just FYI. But yeah, 800x480 on something so huge is horrible.

Oh... I did not know that. Wow.

I have no doubt that this will have excellent dev support, especially since HTC has promised to unlock all its bootloaders already. So rooting should be even easier.

Yes, pretty much. HSPA+ is an extension of UMTS (3G) that allows for some really high speeds. So, modern "3G" networks are much faster than 3G originally was, and I don't think the speed difference between HSPA+ and LTE is all that great. (I don't live in the US either!) HSPA+ is more like 3.5G/3.75G/3.9G than 3G.…

Android phones are very high-maintenance, so if you want something that just works without headaches, get an iPhone or WP7. Android has come a very long way since 2010, when the Evo 4G first came out, but you should still consider switching back to iPhone if what you want is a consistently stable experience.

Yeah, don't even consider the Nexus. Besides the fact that it's comparatively super ugly and has last-gen specs, the screen... holy shit. Nexus's display has an effective pixel density closer to 200 ppi due to PenTile, while this Evo has a true >300 ppi display.

You're right, although some also do not consider LTE (as it is currently implemented in the US) "true" 4G either.

Don't consider a Galaxy Nexus over this! It's horribly ugly compared to this. Also, the display is horribly awful compared to this: the effective pixel density of the GNex display due to PenTile is closer to 200 ppi, whereas this one is truly >300. Huge, huge difference.

The One X has 32 GB. The One S has 16 GB. This article is wrong. See: [www.htc.com]

Unless the GSIII has a non-PenTile 720p display, it can't compete with what HTC has to offer. The Galaxy Nexus's display is really closer to 200 ppi because of the horrible, horrible PenTile layout. And I'm not holding my breath for such a huge technical leap from Samsung. Also, Samsung phones are horribly ugly…

Yeah, but the GSII is horribly ugly. All Samsung phones are. I'm having serious phone envy looking at these new HTC designs compared to my Galaxy Nexus...

So if you accidentally hit the camera button while your phone is in your pocket, it will open the camera app and badly drain your battery?

I have used WP7 devices before, although admittedly not extensively. However, from my limited experience, I find the WP7 UI too gimmicky. At the end of the day, iOS's UI offers the smoothest experience, and it's no wonder almost every other platform (webOS, Android) drew heavily from iOS's interface for their own.

If you want something that just works really really well...... why not an iPhone? What about WP7 makes it better than iOS?

Yeah, that's how Samsung can get away with it. People are wowed by the vivid, bright colors and don't notice the (relatively) horrible clarity. At first glance, the Galaxy Nexus's display probably looks much better than the iPhone's, but for everyday use (i.e. viewing text), better clarity is more important than…

Consider this: the Galaxy Nexus has the same number of subpixels as the iPhone 4/4S.

I haven't seen anyone but you say that.

I got the Adobe web suite legitimately for the equivalent of US$100 thanks to education discount. Includes Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, and Illustrator.

Ugh, PenTile. I'm never, ever getting a phone with a PenTile display again. I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus's display is horribly disappointing.
