More camera testing

[susandennis]

A good, easy to use, camera was one of my big wants for a new phone. I sure like this one. I haven't figured out how to use the front facing camera yet but the other one is a winner for sure.

Battery life is a big bitch and moan with EVO. The first few days of any device are really the wrong time to judge battery usage. I did order a second battery and charger.

I've put mine through its paces so far today. I've had Pandora playing while I walked. I used it to read the news and twitter for an hour over bloody mary and then breakfast. I checked mail and other stuff a couple of more times. All that was in the span of about 5 hours. And I'm showing 70% juice left.

That's not so bad...

One thing to keep in mind is that most phones will vary with battery life but the more you play with the buttons, use the internet etc, the faster the battery drains

So the thing to do is to keep your USB charger handy and just plug it into the PC and charge it that way or for those of us who drive, get a car charger and charge while driving, especially if using the bluetooth device since it also drains the battery fairly quickly.

We can't get Pandora here - it infringes some law or other - but we can get its rival, Slacker Radio which i LOVE. I will probably never buy a CD again, or download naything from iTunes for that matter.

I just recently found Slacker Radio myself but have only used it for podcasts... hmmm me thinks I should be doing some investigating! Thanks!

If you don't mind my asking, what plan do you have with Sprint? It seems that the "Everything data" means "everything but being able to tether your phone."

[susandennis]

I don't mind your asking but I'm not going to debate how Sprint choses to call its various plans.

I pay for 450 minutes a month, unlimted data (sms, etc.) and the ability to tether and have a wifi hotspot.

OK, I need to figure out just which plan that is - thanks!!

[susandennis]

It's the plan that offers 450 minutes with the extras of wifi and insurance.
