I wil stick with my folio case it adjusts to 3 positions in landscape or portrait. $40 is alot for such a limited dock. The lack of volume control from your nexus when using the docks audio jack is a joke people using head sets won't be very happy with it.

nice to see flash still works with the stock browser after the jelly bean update. I was ready to side load flash and firefox to keep flash working like I did on my Nexus 7. I thought flash wasn't supported in jelly bean nice to see it stil works.

Well AJ take on the situation is true. The people in Detroit and Porto Rico were still feeling slighted after clear wire announced they Wouldn't deploy wimax unless they could get federal stimulus funding for these 2 markets. They claimed they couldn't make money in these markets because they were low income areas. clearwires claim insulted a lot of the 4.2 million people in the metro Detroit area.I was definitely pissed when I read there press release which said this. I feel good about Sprints NV plans for Detroit, and still think Sprint dropped the ball when they didn't take a more active roll in clear wire. That is all in the past, and now we can all look forward to the future, and NV. Its best we just try and forget the wimax Slap in the face and move on in Detroit.

I am going to guess it was the glare from the screen. I was reading books on my evo shift, now on my evo 4g lte, and both have some glare from there screens, but the screens are so much smaller than the nexus 7. The glare from the larger screen is probably what got me. My vision was so blurred that I was having a hard time making out traffic signs clearly. I went and order a case and screen protectors from amazon this morning, one of the screen protectors is anti-glare hoping this will take care of the problem.

Never heard of "Fido" but I will take your word on it. I had a weird experience with my nexus 7 today. I bought a book on amazon today and opened it up on my kindle app. I spent a large part of my day reading the whole book, maybee 7-8 hours. By the time I got done my vision was blurred and I was see like a shadow image of every thing. Couldn't even read web pages on my computer with out zooming them out to 150% or greater. I used to read all day on my phone with no problems, this had me freaking out never had anything like this happen. I closed my eyes for a hour didn't sleep and my vision was restored to normal. Something about the display that really fatigued my eyes, never had a experience like this before. Its not uncommon for me to read a whole book on my days off I read a lot.

I got my nexus 7 yesterday also. I having been using my slingbox with it and the picture is looking real good. Definately worth the money. I used mine all afternoon yesterday and alot tonight, the battery life was pretty good. Real happy with the purchase, glad I held out and didn't settle for a kindle fire.

Adorama in NYC was selling them eairlier today but stopped at googles request. http://www.theverge....ource=pulsenews The waiting is bad. I wouldn't mind the wait if they could at least say when my pre-order would ship. This is my first tablet and I am geeked about it. But there was a law suit filed earlier this week claiming patent infringments on the mobile Chrome browser. I wonder if thats whats holding things up. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407057,00.asp?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews

I pre-ordered a nexus 7, of course it is wifi only. So I added a 2gb of hotspot data to my sprint plan for $19.99. I expect to use my new tablet mostly on other wifi sources but when I am out and about, my evo 4g lte should take care of my needs pretty well. Of course now I have to wait on LTE service in my area.

The sad thing is I watched the whole 3 minutes of that video.

I am not so sure a store manager would be more helpful. When I was having issues with my galaxy nexus the store manager refused to do a refund without a $35 restocking fee even though it was already authorized by sprint. I had plenty of time to listen to her conversations with fellow employees during my 2 hour visit. She was real loud and didn't really care if I was listening, but she was totaly driven by the sales numbers of her store, the performance of her store was real important to her and I am guessing to her wallet. She wasn't very concerned about making a long time customer happy, just how her store loooked to sprint corprate. Never going back to that store miserable experience.

If they rollout jellybean for the evo 4g lte I might not upgrade. I still have the bad memories of all the problems with my evo shift after the upgrade to gingerbread. If its not broke don't fix it!

Well it looks like I am not the only one dissapointed on the no sd card. I am going to buy the 16 gig and not worry about it. I don't really store a lot of media anyways. I was a little dissapointed in my new evo 4g lte advertising 16 gig when I found out only 2 were available for apps, but I got over it when I put a sd card in. I know they reserve alot of memory for system updates and other system requirements, thats why I think the base 8 gb model is a breaker for me. If you buy the 16 gb model it should have no more than the 8gb models needs for reserved space, and I should at least net the full extra 8gb.

When I am at work I have a hard time getting a decent signal, but I still get a 3g connection most of the the time. Haven't noticed any heat issues. I use my phone for playing netflix, and I stream video from my sling box to my phone alot. I use wi-fi for my streaming no lte in my area for awhile. Still haven't noticed any heat problems, gets a little warm after running sling player for a couple of hours but not too noticeable. The only time I have had serious heat is when I use telenav with my phone charging, then it gets smoking hot.

The kindle fire is a little light in the hardware department. While I want to mainly use the tablet as a e-reader, I would still would like a more capable machine

Well I joined facebook. Everyone told me how great it is.After seeing the mindless posts by my friends, I started to think I was better off without it. I think I will just follow S4gru on this site instead.

I have been waiting on this tablet, I originally got wood over the asus memo 370t, which was canceled so Asus could work for google on this tablet.Hoping there is a micro sd slot. If there is and the specs are what they are speculated to be, then I am in. I only want a tablet because I want a bigger e-reader than what I am using now. I read 52 books on my evo shift, and now I am using my evo 4g lte. Bigger screen not heavier than 12 ounces and I will be a happy camper. Of course Amazon should still be happy I buy all my e-books from them, at least 1 a week, just not crazy about the kindle fire and no google play store.

Ok if its not feasible, why is that spectrum so valuable to sprint? They had to move on that spectrum or lose it is what I read in another post in this thread. If this 2600MHz is going to have the same building penetration and need the same number of towers to run a full LTE deployment, is it really that important. I am guessing when clearwire deploys their 2600MHz LTE it will still be in a limited amount of markets. I think sprint should be trying to find some spectrum that would have better building penetration, and require less towers. Having LTE service in a spectrum I can't get most of the time indoors is not going to make me happier

well it just goes to show you how much the average person selling cellphones actually knows about their products. But you can actually say it is a evo "lite" it weighs in and feels alot lighter than my old evo shift.

yeah I get your point but when I do deliveries at work I ussally need my gps. No I wasn't using 4g. I guess I will just keep a eye on it for the time being. As long as it's not causing any problems with the phone, it might not turn out to be a big problem. I only noticed it when I unplugged and put it in my pocket. It's not like I am going to hold on to it while driving and navigating

I was out and about Saturday, and I was using telenav on my new evo. After a half hour using telenav and my car charger for power, I noticed that my phone was extremely hot. The top half of the phone the entire black plastic section was almost to hot to touch. I plugged my phone in and used telenav on my return trip with the same result. Is anyone else noticing any heat problems?

I was kind of surprised my phone came in LTE/cdma mode. Had to switch it to cdma mode. Not going to see LTE in my area for awhile.

Well I now see why they have the top part of the back made in plastic. All the Antenna's are located in the removeable plastic piece. Hopefully this will work better than the attenna in my evo shift, its attenna's were located in the lower right hand side side of the case. Which my hand always interferred with when holding my phone. I noticed a big improvement in signal strength when I used my left hand to hold my shift, but I am right handed and preferred it in my right.

I just noticed something weird. Sprint went and activated my new phone before it left the warehouse. It now shows active on my account, and my old evo shift has been deactivated. I thought only phones for new lines were activated before shipping. I couldn't get a network connection when I turned my phone on after work. Now I know why.

sweet got my tracking number from sprint and my screen protectors I ordered showed up today. Finally it all comes together!

sprint has confirmed the shipping date on their website delivery by the 24th http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/sprintblogs/announcements/blog/2012/05/16/htc-evo-4g-lte-update
