HTC Evo 4G 3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover

HTC Evo 4G 3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover |
Just to let you guys know... this item is a generic product. So the fact is, different sellers have different sources with different qualities.
The cell phone battery market classifies lithium ion cells as A, A- and etcetera with most being B cells. QuickShippers claims A- quality, and that's what this review is based off of.
I really can't speak for the rest. But it could explain the inconsistent reviews on this product if the others are worse.
another reason why some people have given it one star is because they aren't using the battery correctly. when the phone shows a green light, it doesn't mean the battery is 100% charged--the HTC Evo detects 1500mah as fully charged, and the battery is 3500mah. this means whenever it shows green, it really means you're at 1500mah+ charge. you have to charge it longer obviously, that's how you get it to last through a 16 hour day like I did. charging it when you sleep is usually the best idea so you don't have to wait.
Also, you NEED to use this battery at least 5 full charge cycles before it gives you the added kick. With this battery, conditioning is very important.
the battery life on this thing is crazy. i had 4G + GPS + Bluetooth and multiple apps running at the same time all day and it's still in the green zone. it doesn't look that much bigger, and I have big hands so the extra bulk is actually a benefit to me. it's like $20+ cheaper than that Seido battery.
in short? buy it, you won't regret! i'd give this 7 stars if i could. pay no attention to the one star reviewers who didnt use it right! to buy HTC Evo 4G 3500mAh Extended Battery + Cover click here.

BUY HTC ARRIVE WINDOWS PHONE SPRINT
This review is from Brad Groux on HTC Arrive Windows Phone Sprint amazon.
The HTC Arrive is a great phone, here are strong points about it:
- The overall design is extremely high quality. Because of the full slide-out keyboard it can seem heavy in the hand, but it is far from burdensome. Holding an Arrive and an Evo 4G I couldn't really tell the difference. I personally like the weight of it, it doesn't seem fragile.
- The slide out keyboard is large and works well. While the WP7 isn't completely integrated for horizontal displays the keyboard works in all the most important apps. You'll find yourself using a combination of the virtual keyboard and the slide out keyboard, but even on other mobile OS's you run into that. The keys on the full keyboard are large, and easy to type on. The keyboard is also back-lit so works well in lowlight situations. It is a real blessing for people with fat fingers like myself. The "popup" hinge for the keyboard is a nice touch and makes for better video viewing for students, cubicle workers on their lunch breaks or passengers on a plane or bus. It is also sturdy, and I don't think they'll wear out with normal usage.
- The call quality of the Arrive is great. I know that many HTC devices make sub-par telephones, but this is not one of those devices. The speaker is loud and clear and call quality seems to be great on the other end as well. It is one of the better cell phones I've used in recent years, and much better than most HTC devices, especially the speaker phone.
- Overall it is a very solid device, and one I'm happy to own. In my opinion it is easily the best WP7 device to date.
Here are a few shortcomings of the HTC Arrive:
- The 5MP camera is actually of decent quality. I didn't have high hopes for it initially as my HTC Hero also has a 5MP camera, but it is horrendous on all fronts. However, the auto focus on the Arrive works as needed and the LED flash is quite bright. The HD video is decent quality, but like most smart phones doesn't work all that well in low-light situations. HTC could have gone with an 8MP camera to add a little more gusto.
- I'd like to see more support for being able to use the full keyboard whenever you wanted, but this is more on Microsoft than HTC or Sprint. Until they update every screen for the WP7 platform to work in landscape mode I'm afraid we're going to be stuck in a hybrid usage of the virtual and physical keyboard. With that said, the virtual keyboard is a huge improvement over their competitors.
- The LCD screen isn't amazing. I'd love to have received an AMOLED screen like that of the Samsung Focus, but the LCD screen on the Arrive is about on par as you'll see on other devices from HTC, like the Evo 4G. For a mobile device it is perfectly fine. The response time is snappy and videos play smooth and clear. I'm just really nitpicking here, but an AMOLED would have been nice.
Windows Phone 7 is an innovative idea, it isn't another cookie cutter smartphone OS with simple icons arranged on a screen in no particular order. Let's be honest Android fans, but Android's UI design is a blatant ripoff of what Apple brilliantly released in 2007 with the iPhone 1. Since that time other manufactures have tried to emulate the "idiot proof" icon-filled UI. Android has done extremely well since it's release and it is arguably the mobile OS to beat, but it also wasn't exactly innovative. Put an average consumer side by side with an iPhone 4 and an Evo 4G and they'd have no idea what the differences are, and that's a fact.
Microsoft has been behind in the mobile game for nearly a decade. I've owned some pretty horrible Windows Mobile Phones in my day, and it was hard for me to fathom that they could come up with something as innovative as WP7, but they did. Here's where I think Windows Phone 7 Stands apart form the competition:
- WP7 is a unique experience, unlike any other smartphone. The design is simple, yet elegant. It is an inspired design and delivery from a company that makes us forget sometimes that they know what they are doing.
- The integration and convergence of your data, social media and contacts is completely seamless (almost). The only hiccup is that Microsoft just recently came to an agreement with Twitter about building WP7 into the device itself (like Facebook already is), so that will be added later in 2011. Until then you'll have to use the Twitter app (which Microsoft designed) or another 3rd party app like Seesmic (my choice). Otherwise your news updates, check-ins and photos from all of your friends can be located in once single place.
- The hardware standards are key to the success of WP7. The minimum standards guarantee that every WP7 phone released will be able to completely perform up to the standards set forth by Microsoft. All of the devices released thus far are snappy and perform well. As an example of how it could have gone wrong, there is a huge discrepancy between Android devices. While the higher end phones run brilliantly, the entry level Android devices crawl along. I'm glad Microsoft set high standards for the devices.
- The Zune interface on the phone far exceeds the competitors offerings. The music app in iOS is boring and stale and almost unchanged for four years, while the included Android music player is slow and clunky. You can download apps for Android like WinAmp, but even then they don't stand a chance against the Zune interface. I've been a huge fan of the Zune since their launch, even though they have been the butt of many jokes and the Zune software of WP7, is nearly identical to that of the Zune HD, a device even most critics applauded for it's great design and usability.
- The applications and games are extremely promising so far. Office Mobile is fantastic and a great free added bonus, and the mobile gaming and Xbox Live integration is great. I can't wait to see further XNA development that allows a user to be playing a game on their handheld on the bus ride home, then pausing it and then picking back up where they left off on their Xbox. Very cool possibilities. I am also happy to have Netflix, an app that you won't see on Android anytime soon because of it's openness. I think Apple has proven that a closed platform is good for business. The hacker community will crack WP7 eventually, but for now their closed platform may help attract more developers.
- Microsoft doesn't allow bloat-ware from phone manufacturers. Android devices are known to be filled with with useless and resource hogging UI "improvements." I should know, I've been struggling with my HTC Hero for a year and a half. The fact that Microsoft only allows manufacturers and mobile providers the ability to install applications, not edit the UI is a stroke of genius and far overdue in my book.
- The simplicity of the three physical buttons and a dedicated camera button are elegantly brilliant, and not something most people have come to expect from Microsoft. Microsoft's past devices have been clunky and generally had horrible touch screens, so even interacting with the phones was a chore. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. The "instant on" camera is a fantastic addition, and one I can't believe hasn't shown up on a smart phone before. The software integration for the camera is also a step above the rest, with integrated instant uploads.
- The integration with Live services is a huge plus. Some of the complaints with WP7 is that it is a locked platform (like iOS), and thus can't be mounted as a drive when plugged into a PC. Well, cry me a river on that one. Microsoft gives you a free 25GB of online storage with Skydrive. Or you could simply just install DropBox like most normal people who gave up flash drives a couple of years ago. Knowing that I can upload Word documents, photos and videos to and from my PC and phone to Skydrive with doing much of anything is a huge perk.
- WP7 has amazing developer tools. Microsoft has given would-be WP7 developers everything they need to succeed. Along with the SDK the tools to develop are also free (Visual Studio 2010 Express), and there are countless resources to learn more about Silverlight, C#, XNA and everything else you'd ever need to know. There is a thriving community at create.msdn.com and literally tens of thousands of documents and files in the MSDN repository. Not to mention that they give you free video training for absolute beginners from Bob Tabor of LearnVisualStudio.net. All developed apps also have a "built in" trial system, and they have a mobile ad network SDK for developers of free apps.
- Zune Pass. I don't care what anyone says, but being able to literally have instant access to millions of songs listed on the Zune Marketplace for just $14.95 a month is brilliant. No other MP3 store can compete with this (including iTunes), especially considering you can keep 10 songs a month, so the service actually costs you under $5 a month.
- Devices are now on all the major US carriers. With the recent addition CDMA support, and launches coming to Sprint (03/20/2011) and Verizon (03/24/2011) Microsoft can now be purchased by the vast majority of cell phone users in America. I have no doubt that over the next 12-18 months WP7 will eat into the big 3's market share, because when most people put their hands on a WP7 device they love it.
WP7 isn't all great, here's a rundown of what I think they need to improve upon, and fast:
- They need to be faster with their updates. Before the NoDo update, WP7 users have only seen one update for the WP7 OS, and that was simply an update to improve the update process (/facepalm). Meanwhile some users with launch phones from T-Mobile and AT&T have been stuck with a somewhat buggy OS for six months now, and that's ridiculous. Microsoft is the king of hot fixes, why in the world do they have to wait until they have a huge update to fix problems? Send out updates to bugs as soon as you fix them. Apple has been brilliant with this, Microsoft needs to move in this direction immediately.
- There need to be more devices that allow for expandable memory. Come on Microsoft, it is 2011... 8GB-16GB of storage on a phone that can be filled with apps and media just isn't enough. Give and/or encourage manufacturers to start integrating MicroSD into the newer devices. These phones are HD capable, but one HD movie can be 4GB!
- Application browsing on the phone isn't horrible, but it needs some huge work in the Zune desktop software. I actually really love the Zune software and have been using it over iTunes since the Zune launch. It's simplicity was a huge reason I loved it, but the application search on the marketplace is far too simple. Give us more ways to search and sort the apps, from categories, to best-selling, highest rated, newest, etc, etc. See iTunes for details.
- Microsoft needs to do a better job of wooing "big name" mobile application developers. Angry Birds' developers are finally on board, but why not six months ago? Some glaring omissions from applications that I love include Pandora (although Last.FM is available), Square (credit card payments) and Gowalla. There are countless others as well, but there needs to be some serious developer wooing going on on the part of Microsoft. Go find the biggest Android and iOS developers and convince them to also develop on your platform. WP7 is a super-easy platform to develop for, and Microsoft needs to do a much better job of selling that fact.
I could go on forever, and at this point I've probably lost everyone anyway. All I know is that anyone who sees an HTC Arrive in person will be able to admire it for it's intuitive and elegant design. The same can be said for the Windows Phone 7 operating system. Most people that use either the Arrive and WP7 for an extended period of time would appreciate both of them, even if they chose to go with another phone or a platform. To simply write off WP7 because it is from Microsoft is shortsighted and laughable. WP7 is far from perfect, but Android and iOS were far from perfect in their infancies and are are far from perfect now.
I for one love WP7 and am thrilled to have it in my hands. Read More

HTC ThunderBolt 4G Android Phone Verizon Wireless
First, a little background: I've been a Verizon customer for years. I previously had an LG Env2 for 3 years before buying the Thunderbolt. Like a lot of you, I'm sure, I waited and waited and skipped over several releases of the iPhone (on AT&T), desperately hoping for something equal or better on Verizon. For better or worse, I stood my ground and kept on waiting for something on Verizon. I was eligible for an upgrade about this time last year, but I never pulled the trigger on it for one reason or another. I guess I just never found a phone that really made me want to spend the extra money for the data plan (although the Droid Incredible came close). As soon as I heard that the LTE phones would start to roll out in early 2011, I knew I was waiting until that point to use my upgrade.
That brings us to the present. Dismayed a little by the continuous delays that plagued the release of the Thunderbolt, I waited patiently until the weekend following the release. I told myself I was going to wait a little longer to see if there were any major problems. I was a bit nervous on this purchase, just based on the rumors I'd been hearing about (and reading about) that delayed the Thunderbolt's release. In the end, though, I decided I just couldn't wait any longer and I made the purchase. My $50 upgrade credit (incidentally, the last time I'll be able to use one of those on Verizon, since they're doing away with the program) brought the price of the phone from $250 down to $200. Initial set-up at the Verizon store was minimal and I was out the door fairly quickly.
A few caveats here, before I dive into the guts of the review:
1) I live on the East Coast, in Arlington, VA. I frequently travel up/down the I-95 corridor to NJ/NYC/CT/etc, where Verizon's 4G LTE signal is very strong.
2) Even though this is my first Android phone, I'm quite familiar with the operating system (OS) since my fiancee has one (Droid Incredible) and my father has one (Droid X). I've spent extensive time with both of those phones, so I have a pretty good reference point.
So, the first thing everyone wants to know is, of course, about 4G. (This is certainly the start of the "Pros" category, by the way.) As I mentioned above, I spend most of my time on the East Coast in the mid-Atlantic region. I've found the 4G signal to be excellent so far. During a recent trip from Philly down to Arlington, VA, I had 4G signal a good majority of the time. There were definitely spots in Northern Maryland and Delaware that didn't have 4G, but once I hit the outskirts of Baltimore, I had 4G signal pretty much the rest of the way south to Washington, DC. Keep in mind, too, that the 4G LTE network (on this phone, anyway) is for DATA only. It won't be until later this year or next year that Verizon starts to release phones that actually make phone calls over the 4G network.
The 4G LTE network that Verizon has up and running is BLAZING fast. I can't possibly overstate that in any way, shape, or form. I have a Comcast cable modem at home that provides Wifi to my apartment. The 4G speeds that I'm getting with LTE right now are FASTER than my home network. And not even really that close, to be honest. Verizon's 4G network is considerably faster than the Comcast cable modem. How much faster you ask? Take these numbers for instance (generated using the SpeedTest.net app from the Android app store):
On my home Wifi: 2941 kbps DOWNLOAD, 1390 kbps UPLOAD
On Verizon's LTE network: 5102 kbps DOWNLOAD, 21214 kbps UPLOAD
In case your math is a little rusty, download speeds are almost twice as fast on the LTE network. Upload speeds are 15+ times faster! That's compared to a CABLE MODEM! That's insanely fast, folks!!! The big question, of course, is will those speeds continue to hold up as more folks jump on the LTE network? I can't answer that question since I'm not a Verizon engineer. I certainly hope so, that's for sure. Verizon's network is their reputation, so I'm willing to bet that the speeds hold up fairly well. And let's face it -- even if there is a *slight* downgrade in speed once more folks are on, it's still insanely fast for a cell phone.
To go along with the network speeds, lets discuss the Mobile Hotspot on the phone. You can connect up to 5 devices to the hotspot. My understanding is that the mobile hotspot option is free on this phone through mid-May (roughly, don't quote me on this). I tested it out this weekend, and it performed flawlessly using my MacBook. Speeds were, again, outstanding. I didn't run any numbers, but just browsing the Internet seemed considerably faster when connected to my phone (vs. the Cable Modem Wifi). Definitely an awesome feature to be able to turn the phone into a mobile 4G LTE hotspot. Am I going to use that feature after May when I have to pay extra? I'm not sure, but it's certainly a great option to have for some folks. I guess the answer will also depend on Verizon's pricing structure, whenever that fully emerges.
The phone itself feels well put together. Make no mistake about it: it's LARGE. But it's not too large. Personally, I think it's the perfect size for cell phone. Screen size is the same as the Droid X at 4.3 inches, although the phone itself is smaller in profile and feels a lot nicer to hold than the Droid X. It's great for any type of video, Google Nav, etc etc. The list goes on, but the screen is big, bright, and beautiful. Is it the latest and greatest screen technology out there? I doubt it, but it certainly looks really good, I can tell you that much.
That about does it for the PROS. Now for the CONS. Some of them are nitpicky, and some are not. Some may be mixed with future updates, and others probably won't.
First thing I noticed when I got the phone home: Verizon loads this thing with bloatware CRAP. I don't know about you, but that really, REALLY annoys me. Not so much that they put it on there, I understand that Verizon probably has marketing agreements with other companies (Blockbuster, for example). I can live with that. That's if they made the apps removable - they are not. And that's what drives me absolutely crazy with this phone. The only program that can be deleted from the device is CityID. The others are baked into the ROM - meaning that even if you go though the procedures to delete them, guess what -- they're still there! They don't go away!! And there's nothing you can do to get rid of them, short of rooting the phone (which I'm not recommending). To name a few: Blockbuster, Bitbop, Amazon Kindle, Lets Golf 2, Peep, Rhapsody, Rock Band, Slacker, VCast Apps, VCast Media, and VZ Navigator. Keep in mind that some of these apps run AUTOMATICALLY in the background (draining battery! which I'll get to in a minute). If you didn't just read that list and say "Are you kidding me?!?!" then you're nuts. I have a demo of Lets Golf 2 on my phone that I CAN'T DELETE because Verizon says so. That is total crap, in my opinion, and a huge downside to this phone. I'm okay with them pre-loading it on their phones - just don't put it in the ROM. I literally hate that Verizon thinks you should have no choice on deleting some apps. Huge minus for this phone.
That leads me nicely into battery life. Believe (most of) what you read. It's more or less a disaster. I'd like to tell you otherwise, believe me! And it's even more annoying when you realize there are Verizon apps running in the background that you can't get rid of (or stop with a Task Killer program -- they pop right back up!). If you run this phone on the 4G LTE network all day long, I'm here to tell you that it's HIGHLY unlikely you're even getting through the day without having to recharge. I found that I average (so far) about 4-6 hours between charges. And that is NOT with heavy use (streaming video, etc.). That's with light-to-moderate use during the day (1 or 2 quick phone calls, checking Gmail and Facebook, etc). If you read the reviews on here (and elsewhere - check on Verizon's own forums), you'll see people complaining of the same thing. I really hope that Verizon will put out a software update to address this issue, as it's most certainly one of the phone's major problems. Having said that, there are ways around the issue. Using different apps from the app store (Phone Info is the one I use), you can force the phone to operate in 3G mode only. That definitely helps batter life tremendously. You can also download/purchase a "task killer" app to close out apps running (draining battery) in the background. That also helps, but the biggest saver of the battery is forcing the phone into 3G only mode. Which, for me, is quite frustrating. Yeah, I'm saving on the battery life, but one of the MAIN REASONS I bought this phone to begin with is to access the 4G network. So it doesn't do me much good to run it in 3G only mode, although I'm forced to do it right now because of the battery life. It's frustrating, to say the least. Is it something Verizon will fix in the near future? Let's hope so. Just be aware of this issue before you buy this phone (many of the rumors surrounding the delayed release of this phone centered on the problems with its battery life).
Phone call quality is mediocre, at best. When I think of a word to describe the call quality, what comes to mind is "meh". That's really all I can say. For a device this technologically superior, it's call quality should be fantastic. It's NOT - it's just OK. Both the Droid Incredible and the Droid X are *FAR* superior than this phone in that regard. Why? I don't really know. If you read up on some of the newest Android phones (the Motorola Atrix on AT&T for example), a lot of them are having problems with call quality. Put the HTC Thunderbolt in that category too. I haven't really had anyone complain, per se, but it's just not that great. People sound very "tinny" on my end. I agree with others: the uppermost volume setting is definitely not loud enough, either. If you're in a really quiet room, it's fine, but good luck being able to hear anyone on a crowded city street. Again, I hope we'll see a fix for this sooner than later through a software update.
The camera on the phone is also just "OK". It's really nothing great. Yeah it's 8 megapixels, and yeah, it takes decent shots for a cell phone, but that's about all. It's been covered in great detail by reviews elsewhere, and I haven't really used it too much yet, so I'm not going into great detail here. I haven't been that impressed by it, at least not yet, but it's not awful either. I haven't used the front camera for any video calls or anything like that yet, so I can't comment on it much. It's 1.3 megapixels, that's about all I know. I'm sure it's also mediocre.
I think that about covers it, at least the main aspects of the phone, anyway. I will edit/update this initial review as I spend more time with the phone. Believe me, I *really* wanted this to be a 5-star phone, but it's honestly not. It's probably more like a 3.5 star phone, but due to the sheer speed of Verizon's LTE network, I'll be generous and give it a half-star bump to 4-stars. If Verizon can figure out the battery life problems and the call quality problems, it's definitely a 4.5 star phone (I'm keeping that other half-star reserved until Verizon decides not to kill the phone with bloatware!).
It's definitely a good (but not great) entrance into the 4G/LTE arena for Verizon. If you're going to buy the phone, temper your expectations a little. That's the best advice I can give. If you can stand to wait a few more months, I'd probably do so to see what's coming from Motorola, Samsung, LG, etc.
I hope this review helped you make a reasonable decision on the phone. READ MORE.

HTC STANDARD BATTERY for HTC EVO 4G REVIEW
I've been looking for some of these red OEM standard batteries for my HTC EVO. Anybody with one of the babies will bemoan the utter uselessness that is the battery life. When I first bought my HTC EVO, I brought an extra black version of the battery they offered. The Sprint store in my local mall offered me another black battery. When that wasn't enough, I bought two red batteries like the ones shown here. So, I have five in total. LOL.
technical detail OEM HTC battery ensures your phone works at optimum performance and reliability.
Compatible with: HTC EVO 4G / HTC A9292 / Supersonic HTC Hero (Sprint) HTC Imagio XV6975 HTC
This is where I need to clarify one thing about these batteries. While some reviewers are noticing the silver band around these batteries, I can verify that the batteries from MobileCityOnline store on Amazon.com are the same like the original battery in my HTC EVO. Yes, you will have to shell out more cash for MobileCityOnline's batteries. In addition, there is no noticeable difference between the batteries purchased from Sprint and the batteries purchased from MobileCityOnline. So be careful and buy at your own risk (if anything make sure to get an idea or better, in writing about the refund policy from the store of your choice).
And a big thanks to the reviewer Khang D. Mai for pointing this issue out. Unfortunately, without his vigilance I would have fallen into this trap. Read More
Otterbox Defender Case with Holster Belt Clip for HTC Evo 4G
Now for the kickstand issue. I was very unimpressed by the flimsiness of the kickstand. I did my homework before purchasing and noticed that other reviewers mentioned the flimsy feel of the kickstand but I didn't think it would be a big deal if I was careful with it. I was very wrong. I knew the kickstand was flimsy so I always handled it very gently. I only used it for a couple of weeks before I noticed a crack right down the middle of the kickstand where it hinges. Within a week the crack had grown in length and the kickstand just fell off and won't stay on. I know every company makes the occasional lemon and I thought perhaps I just got a "bad one". Wrong again. A lot of people have had the same issue so be warned. I didn't think the kickstand was a big deal but I can tell you that I really missed it when it was gone. Otterbox may have dropped the ball on the kick stand but they definitely stand behind their product and I'm taking the time to edit my initial review just for that reason.
Update: I will say that Otterbox has definitely taken care of me with my warranty issue. I was surprised at the ease, friendliness, and the quick response I got from them. Thank you Otterbox for standing behind your product. With that kind of excellent service you have kept a customer happy that may have otherwise gone elsewhere over a small issue.

BUY CHEAP HTC TOUCH PRO 2
When HTC came out with their Touch Pro 2 in Europe, I was counting down the days until it finally was released here in the States. I had to jump through some hoops to get it through Verizon (they didn't sell it in the stores, and didn't even have a replica to check out--one guy said it was because Blackberry had such a hold on Verizon's market share). Finally I got it through their online store and phone sales (combined). I have had it now for about 9 months.
The reasons I "had" to have this one?
Style (of course...it's gorgeous!)
Wifi (it works perfectly...finds and connects with no issues)
Tethering ability (this was a biggie for me--I can use it as a wireless connection for my laptop where there is no Wifi)
Office applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.)
Adobe Acrobat
Outlook compatibility
Internet Explorer
GPS (ability to use Google Maps with GPS locater)
Multiple computer Sync ability
Pro's (in addition to the above reasons I bought it)
--Battery life isn't bad considering all it does
--Getting more apps available every day via "The Marketplace"
--Easy to personalize
--Multiple time zones/weather zones
--Text as regular text messages or use in a chat format
--The ability to pull up each contact's info and call/text/email histories
--The ability to override Verizon's lock-out on the GPS, and have continued updates
--Messenger programs (Yahoo, AIM, Google chat, etc.)
--Camera has multiple formats, from indoor filter to fun frames
--Touch screen
--Full pull-out QWERTY keyboard (this was a must for me)
The cons for this phone:
--It's not as bad as the HTC Touch Pro original or diamond, but the memory is lacking. The phone will freeze if too many applications are running. Depending on which apps you run, this could happen very quickly and easily.
--A bit weighty, but that's to be expected with the hardware involved
--Applications are sparse...and can be very expensive
--Hard to retrieve photos and email/text them once they are in the photo album
--Expensive!
--Full Data Plan is required from Verizon, so you'd better be sure you are ready for that.
--Hard to remove back cover/battery to reset it when it freezes
Overall, I am really glad I went through all of the steps to have this phone. If you need a stable Office smart phone, then this is a good choice. HTC never disappoints.

This review is from: Laza Sprint HTC Evo 4G Extended Battery Silicone Case Black (Wireless Phone Accessory amazon)
I like it. I covers the phone, provides a degree of protection, and just feels good in your hand. However, a couple potential drawbacks: it is silicone, and as such seems to attract dirt/dust. Also, while clad in the case your phone will not be easy to take in and out of your pocket. But I consider both minor quibbles and am definately satisfied with my purchase.
And review Laza Sprint HTC Evo 4G Extended Battery Silicone Case Black (Wireless Phone Accessory amazon) from jasonc715 on Amazon.
This cover looks great on my HTC EVO. Makes the fact that I have an extended battery look good. The battery isn't all that different but this cover completes the package. Silicone feel keeps device in my hand with no slipping. Great product!!

This tool kit was easy to use and saved me time and money. One tele communications shop was going to charge me $135.00 to change the keyboard. I did it myself with this toolkit and saved 129.00 dollars. The toolkit was less than $6.00. Recommend this to all those who want to save time and money!

Seidio Innocell 3500 mAh Extended-Life Battery for HTC EVO 4G Cover White Standard Wall Charger All in One Card Reader writer
This battery makes my EVO nearly perfect. I no longer have to worry about battery levels throughout the day & evening of normal daily use. In fact, I performed a torture test recently by running Google Latitude with constant updates with the GPS, 4G on & Wifi on with serious Angry Birds playing, youtubing & NY Times reading going on while I rode the Amtrak through areas with very spotty cellular coverage (another big batter drain) from Essex Jct, VT to Meriden, CT...over 7+ hours of extreme torturous use. This is a very extreme test but the battery passed. In addition, I ride my motorcycle for several hours around Vermont on the weekends and the stock EVO battery would always get uncomfortably low while I took many pictures & uploaded via spotty non-3G cellular coverage in the rural countryside where I ride. Now, my EVO battery level is no longer a concern when I ride. In fact, I feel comfortable leaving my GPS on to map my rides through Vermont & Adirondacks now.
The only drawback, a minor one, is the added thickness & weight to the phone. Completely outweighed by the benefits of the much longer battery life. Because of the weight & thickness, I found the benefits of a wireless headset to be more appreciated. If I could, I will substract a 0.33 star from the perfect score. In addition, not a lot of cases, I bought an inexpensive gel cover and cut out the back with an exacto knife to fit around the battery. Actually, looks pretty good & works well.
For normal use, I leave the 4G & GPS off and now battery level is never a concern. I only ever think about plugging in when I go to sleep at night. If I forget, no worries, still plenty of charge the next morning, about 30%. Again...the extended battery removes the stress & worry of everyday EVO use.
My EVO is now no longer attached to a charging cable during idle times during the day. Perfect. Read More Reiew CLICK HERE
