How was your battery? Did you notice less battery from a 3G normal day? I'm curious as I usually get two plus days of battery from my EVO LTE with mild use and a day and a half with moderate use! I'm actually thrilled about battery on my EVO LTE! I'm still pissed that HTC forced me into a non-removable battery, as batteries today seem to make it only about a year before they start showing serious loss of performance. HTC needs to pull the stick out of their butt as Samsung was able to make a device that is even thinner and larger then the EVO LTE and it has a LARGER REMOVABLE BATTERY! WTF?!

Fifth- The battery did not seem to be greatly impacted by the use of LTE. It only occured to me once througout the day to look at the battery, with LTE use impacting it in mind. It did not dramatically drain the battery in the time I had it connected. The non-removable battery was definetly a con for me before actually using the phone. I am sure at some point I will have to root this phone and we will see if it proves to be an issue then. Overall very impressed with the build quality.

HTC has made a thin yet solid, well built device. If the Galaxy S3 follows in the footsteps of previous Samsung smartphones -- my apologies, Samsung owners -- it will feel like a cheap, plastic dummy phone.

 

If a non removable battery is the price that we have to pay to get HTC build quality in a slim device, then so be it.

Wavelength- I agree 100%. I have a bad feeling that the S3 is going to be that cheap feeling device. I'am currently using the S2, but doubt that the S3 will be my next phone. I may be semi-biased though, my first Sprint phone was the original EVO. I loved everything about that device for a while. So it only seems right I give the new member of the EVO family a try....

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE

Ran several Speedtest.net speedtest through out the day. All remained fairly consistent. The Viper did just as well, not as much fun to mess with though. Also ran a few Youtube videos, they loaded up in HD automatically and played without a problem. Made sure to use the EVO to make a couple calls (don't know if that even matters), and no matter what "4G" remained steady all day.

I can confirm that LTE is active in the Woodlands area as of today. Also the area around Baybrook mall on the southside. I connected a HTC EVO and a LG Viper. Very impressive DL and UP speeds.
