Android Fanboys Have Arrived. And That’s A Good Thing

Posted: 30 May 2010 08:55 AM PDT

By now, just about everyone on the planet has heard the term "Apple Fanboy." If you've ever said anything good about an Apple product, you've likely been called one. But a new class of fanboy has emerged -- one that, amazingly, may be be equally as passionate. The Android Fanboy. And it's actually a good thing. In case you missed my review of the new HTC EVO 4G phone yesterday, be sure to read some of the comments. As stated, I was coming at it from the perspective of a dedicated iPhone user. Long story short, I don't really like the device. To the Android lovers, I might as well have killed Bambi.


An iPhone Lover’s Take On The HTC EVO 4G

Posted: 30 May 2010 08:54 AM PDT

Back in January, I wrote a post entitled An iPhone Lover's Take On The Nexus One. At the time, the Nexus One was soon to be released as the latest and greatest Android phone, and a number of iPhone users were wondering whether it was worth it to switch for the benefits of Android (and perhaps more importantly, another network besides AT&T). My take: it was the best Android phone yet, but it wasn't better than the iPhone. Now I'm going to do the same type of review for the new HTC EVO 4G phone, which Sprint is launching next week. At Google I/O, the search giant gave the phone away to every attendee complete with one month of service to try it out. Just as with the Nexus One, I've decided to use it as my primary phone for the past week or so to get a real sense of the pluses and minuses of the device. Just as with my Nexus One review, this isn't meant to be an all-encompassing review or roundup (for that, see here or here or here). Instead, this is just my reaction to the device as an iPhone user.
