lol..and what did you guys think iPhone was making? 4G? Whats 4G? WiMax lar..LOL! XD

Android is kicking real ass..

Great piece of news bro..

I really think we should start a blog of this updates if we have enough authors and Android enthusiasts

the real 4G definition for GSM is LTE, Long Term Evolution. Wimax is the competing standard.IMHO our existing Telcos wont support Wimax because they've committed to GSM.

So if you want to invest in 4G phones in malaysia, better wait for LTE devices.

AT&T in USA is implementing LTE. So you can expect the iPhone to go LTE instead of WiMax.

that is true because AT&T is using GSM.

Shahz,catch ya in Android Around 2, you the only in pd..guess what..I'm your nearest neighbour..haha..guys...download Android around 2 and locate yourself..

Yeah..we should form a android community for Malaysian.

2010 = android

LTE in Malaysia...hmmm

The other WiMax player still hiding le...

Heard YTL getting into 4G...when will complete?

i thk this phone is base on cdma + wimax. so cant use in malaysia.

Yeah I have created history at my workplace in promoting Android n soon the rest..

y not?
p1 wimax is everywhere now.

Nice !!

Because they are not a mobile cell operator and their technology is DATA ONLY. The guys are right, we've committed to GSM and 4G would be LTE for us not WIMAX. That technology has been relegated as a internet service. The Government has only issued a limited number of license for operating WIMAX so how do you expect a wide scale implementation?

Also WIMAX 'doesn't connect' to our cell phone infrastructure like WCDMA, HSDPA. These are part of the GSM infrastructure. So LTE is the answer.

hmm.... so that means EVO not available at here ??

but even if its data only, you can still use voip , right?

Wow, the EVO looks pretty cool!



Here is the Engadget's Hands On

This post has been edited by mikelee: Mar 24 2010, 10:14 AM

VOIP and mobile phone are two entirely different products. You want a phone to be reliable and act like one. I don't think telcos will offer VOIP as a staple diet though.

unless ofcos, P1 could strike a partnership plan with any of their current competiting mobile broadband providing operators XD which is literally quite impossible~

ITS THE BEAST!

i believe there will be more 4G players in the market soon, so this trend is only waiting for the time to come..

But this phone is really overkill, it's so cool tat i can't stand it XD

I wonder if HTC EVO 4G only lock on to Sprint carrier...

looking forward YTL WIMAX network... coming july...

Meaning it can't support 3G at all?

yes it can, just like how ur phone can support back to 2G.

it's not amolled screen

malaysia is only 3.5G only. haha

wow, i was shocked when i see this phone..
it overtake my brand new nexus one gao gao...

4.3 screen, Wimax, 8 megapixeal, front cam, SENSE UI...HDMI!!!

wonder how much is this beauty...

this phone supports 3g, but not the 3g in malaysia. it is a cdma phone. so we have to hope htc will release another phone like this but with gsm specs.

hopefully.. but i'm quite optimistic that a similar GSM version will be released, the question is will it be available here or not..

Or maybe the GSM version is still called HTC Supersonic?

i thought voip only means you cannot make emergency calls, and you have to sign up with voip provider as well ...
and also you have to launch voip app all the time and you cannot simply dial number on the phone...

Uh.. Im itching for this phone. Was about to get HD2, but after knowing that its cant use WinMo7, i went heartbroken.

Lol...nice phone...bt seems like a pricy phone as well, rm 3k "no run"...1GB rom, 512mb , 1 ghz snapdragon! a mini netbook...XD

Reading through HTC Singapore fb page

HTC Singapore
Hi ****, The Evo will not be release in Singapore as it is a US-Based product.
Today at 2:33pm · Report

So I guess Malaysia wont get it too

htc evo 4g exclusive to US

wait.....soon there will be "non US" region set

Hopefully eh, want this beast!

ineser, that is just so obvious. fyi, the EVO will only run on CDMA networks, not GSM.

here in malaysia, we use GSM.

so whenever you see phones that state CDMA/EV-DO, then they wont work in malaysia.

We will see then...

Unless they call this something else since its "exclusive" to Sprint

when will malaysia implement the LTE ?

Wimax vs LTE (Long Term Evolution)...the war has begun....


guys, 1st page edited..

This post has been edited by bonanno: Mar 27 2010, 04:43 AM

hahaha what do you mean by we will see then?

of cos this phone wont be here in malaysia due to the fact that it is a cdma phone.

what we'll be getting maybe something that supports LTE. and it will definitely wont be known as HTC EVO 4G.

and LTE will be a long way in the future. just look at how slow our telco's implement 3g to their network.

Means we wait and see..

While hopefully just like Droid vs Milestone, we'll still get something similar with GSM support, and hopefully it'll reach Malaysia.

maybe will take sometime to come to malalysia..
this phone is just awesome..

ineser, do you work for HTC somehow? or do you have any inside info that we, the public didnt get to see?

well, we will just wait and wait.

The price...
http://www.popularelect.com/product_info.p...tab=2&osCsid=10

US$899.99

this beast will come to malaysia within the next 5 years since we use GSM lol.

EVO 4G..
What a phone..
Hopefully Samsung can lend SUPER AMOLED screen!!

lol , Desire Nexus AMOLED is good enough .. It added super infront doesnt mean big difference .. and HTC UI is way better than Samsung UI

super amoled is good when u use phone frequently under sunlight. else amoled is good enough already

if you apply a good matte screen protector , the AMOLED screen can be seen under the sunlight already . and it also prevent fingerprint .

both hv diff UI, even SE hav it own special UI....

yeah , Just have a glance with Galaxy S on youtube.. Pretty impressed by the big screen .. but when it comes with Samsung UI , although with 1ghz processor , you will experience some lagging , lower responses with Samsung UI . HTC is always better because it is a company specialized in phone area . Samsung UI programming need to enhance more based on the logic design of the hardware , so the UI can run more smooth . If galaxy S hardware + Sense UI , it will be perfect . oh yeah , bro ... my Desire .. almost running out of patience , lolz .... when it will come ~~~~~

This post has been edited by linkinawe: Apr 26 2010, 04:02 PM

For me.. As long as I feel comfort using any UI, then that'll be the best!!
No matter which manufacturer though..
Nice or x nice..
User friendly is also important!!

most ppl like this bcoz hv 4.3" BIG SCREEN, n slim as well...
hd2 also wan surrender d..

Engadget's HTC EVO 4G Review



http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/htc-evo-4g-review/

seems to be the trend now. use android but customized ui. so far htc seems to have the nicest ui, but failed in a few of the attempts of widgets like friendstream for example.

just wanted to knw if i buy this fone frm the us can i jailbreak it like the iphones to use any other sim cards?
coz ill run and buy it then...

it is cdma phone right ? so u can only use this phone in US

ya,it is CDMA phone which only WORKS in US...dont think there is GSM version for Evo 4g in future

Hopefully, there's a version that suit with our GSM..

just the matter of SOON or LATER..

or nothing but other model

4.3 android phone ? Yes, please

This post has been edited by gerrardling: May 24 2010, 04:35 PM

maybe HTC Scorpion?lol

Come on guys, please discuss more to GSM supported phone rather than like this CDMA one..
Of course it'll not available here unless there's a huge development to it..
Scorpion?? 1.3 Ghz processor right?? What The Phone...

Its pure speculation, nothing confirm on HTC Scorpion

what make you think there will not be a GSM version for the EVO 4G in the future?

just my own opinion..what i mean was there could be no evo 4g for GSM..
but mayb htc will build up another GSM model that have large screen or same hardware with evo but dun think included 4g...

evo 4g is like purposely built for use with Sprint and utilized their 4g coverage..
thats what i think only...

EDIT: if there is a gsm version for evo 4g, expect to get it in next few months or end of the year...US only release it on early of june

This post has been edited by hihihehe: May 25 2010, 12:44 PM

oic... i thought you have insider info.

I dun care about 4G, just port the phone to GSM 3G with the rest of the killer specs and I will get one definately. I also expect it to be out end of year or early next year IF it really be converted into GSM.

This post has been edited by Cynox: May 25 2010, 01:36 PM

by that time it out end of the year,i belive htc already released a similar phone which may perform better than evo

Do you mean Scorpion or what??

err nope..what i mean was there MIGHT be new phone coming that better than evo when you are waiting

Owh.. Ok.. "MIGHT" be..

I am contented with the current specs of EVO 4G - WiFi, tethering and HDMI output and the slick black design. The first 3 features will not have significant chnages/improvement in the near future. So I dun think any future release will bother me.

Other festures like phone camera/video recorder might be upgraded in the next model but imho they are just marketing gimmick, they can't even replace the mid-end point and shoot. I think in another year, PnS camera will have decent 720p recording for sure.

This post has been edited by Cynox: May 26 2010, 11:10 AM

what i mean was htc maybe release other model that may better spec than evo 4g since evo 4g only available in CDMA. so htc maybe release a new model that available in gsm version..unless u stay in US, u cant even use evo at other countries...
with the massive 4.3" screen,it really bother me..and what if equip with 1.3 ghz or above, 576RAM, above 1GB ROM,etc? i think it will bothering u as well...

btw,b4 they have such nice hardware,they need to consider whether the android OS can fully support the hardware or not first

Gizmodo's HTC EVO 4G Review



http://gizmodo.com/5554198/htc-evo-4g-review-a-war-machine

It's only CDMA right?

Nice spec, except for the screen size...its too big for me

Yep, only for CDMA.

Android Central review - IRRESISTABLE!!!

http://www.androidcentral.com/review-sprin...roid-smartphone

Its so famous that all the Sprint stores out of stock

lol..of course..US ppl so lucky..everything also latest...

lol... i was reading abt scorpion too... it's crazy if we keep waiting 4de next model 2outdo watever is latest now...

Man... htc scorpion: 1.5GHz Snapdragon

Haahahahaha!!
That's why..
Actually, the most important thing is your budget..
Don't have to wait for the techs come into u..
Set up ur target, then buy suitable phone with suitable budget!!

is better to buy now and use until new model release then change it

4inch is already too big for me.. 4.3inch is ugghhhh... TOO big! imagine the next rumored SonyE 5inch with qwerty physical.. i dunno if that is a tablet or a phone anymore..

4.3" is a big YES for me..looks so professional
but the Dell Streak comes with 5" and called as tablet phone

on 2nd thought.. i do think that 4.3inch makes it look professional.. fits the use of being a mobile computer.. and better for gaming too

5" is overkill... how to carry that around also confusing

but it is better for web browsing..the more i look at iphone screen, the screen become more smaller

imagine u put that 5" on ur face...lol
have a look at youtube that michael dell using it

With this kind of smartphone, I think I can throw off my lappy and use Incredible only!!

Lol, but u can't Dota with this, unless you no play PC games

i would prefer the EVO over a 10" netbook anytime. Average notebook computer is not for gaming anyway.

just wondering why do u guys can compare smartphone which is slightly bigger with netbook/notebook?
is 2 different categories lol..

i will use netbook to surf net more than 4" smartphone
