Never played it. No idea.

The EVO 4g looks pretty nice. Layout is fairly intuitive. I might get it when 4g comes to Columbus.

It's already in Houston (and most of the other big Texas cities) and is going to be in Cleveland this year.

Fuck Cbus

f*ck Cbus

Yeah they're load testing in cities without much traffic.

Meaning desolate cities, like Cleveland.

Read a review about the Evo. Said something about it being lucky to get more than 4hrs of battery with moderate usage..

Guy I work with has the Evo. I didn't see it, but apparently its fucking huge. Like mini-iPad fucking huge.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

Yeah the huge screen is what's chewing through the battery.

And the crazy fast processor and graphics chip and 4g module (if it's turned on) and GPS chip.

I've seen the phone online, but apparently its somewhat unwieldy IRL.

I have to wonder about you sometimes.....

WHERE'S YOUR EFFING SARCRASMZ DETECTORS?!

But you have monster hands.

To be fair, I do have large hands. So that helps a lot in this case.

Well fuck it.. I'll never root my phone.. The guides they have provided are horrible at best.

I only wanted to root it so I can get 2.2 on it, but now I'll just wait.

Could you have even got 2.2 on it after rooting? I thought those were kind of custom per phone, unless someone has cooked up an image of 2.2 for your device already, I guess.

Do I need to do all of this? Or just unpack and add to path?

Quick Start

The steps below provide an overview of how to get started with the Android SDK. For detailed instructions, start with the Installing the SDK guide.

1. Prepare your development computer

Read the System Requirements document and make sure that your development computer meets the hardware and software requirements for the Android SDK. Install any additional software needed before downloading the Android SDK. In particular, you may need to install the JDK (version 5 or 6 required) and Eclipse (version 3.4 or 3.5, needed only if you want develop using the ADT Plugin).

2. Download and install the SDK starter package

Select a starter package from the table at the top of this page and download it to your development computer. To install the SDK, simply unpack the starter package to a safe location and then add the location to your PATH.

3. Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse

If you are developing in Eclipse, set up a remote update site at https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/. Install the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin, restart Eclipse, and set the "Android" preferences in Eclipse to point to the SDK install location. For detailed instructions, see ADT Plugin for Eclipse.

4. Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK

Use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, included in the SDK starter package, to add one or more Android platforms (for example, Android 1.6 or Android 2.0) and other components to your SDK. If you aren't sure what to add, see Which components do I need?

To launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager on Windows, execute SDK Setup.exe, at the root of the SDK directory. On Mac OS X or Linux, execute the android tool in the <sdk>/tools/ folder. For detailed instructions, see Adding SDK Components.

Done!
