My previous phone was a Pre, I’m so happy to see it go. If you follow me on Twitter or have seen me with it any time over the last year, you know how much I hated that thing. These are my first impressions of the Evo – the short version – I love it! Battery life – I heard rumors of the battery issues & after experiencing a Pre & iPhone the first thing I did was tweak my settings. I took brightness off of auto and dimmed it further, I turned off Background Data (you have to turn this back on to access the App Store so remember to turn it back off). I hit App Killer frequently. I also believe I rule my phone & not the other way around so all push notifications are turned off. I haven’t had an issues with the battery life. I used it like crazy the first day and when the battery died I was not at all surprised. We’ll see how it holds up during a “regular” day at work and at an upcoming conference. Size – its big. But that’s good. The display is huge making the phone its self
