Features And Accessories Of The HTC Evo
Many users and critics will argue that the HTC Evo is the best smart phone available on the Sprint network. While the most interesting feature is its 4G capability, it also has other interesting features like video chat. Its extra large 4.2-inch screen make viewing text messages and Web pages great and also provides a greater UI keyboard that beats the Blackberry in ease of use. While 4G network market is not spread out all over the country, it does great on the 3G network too. Users however have to pay a $10 monthly charge for the 4G data speeds.
The Evo comes equipped with HTC Sense, this means that it also comes with Google's version of Android 2.1. It also means that you will have access to all of the Android Apps and Google services as well as live wallpapers, voice-to-text entry and GPS navigation. This device is focused on providing a strong multi-media and action packed experience. It takes advantage of Sprints 4G WiMax network and is loaded with features that maximize the 4G network. For example, it comes with YouTube’s high-quality player and a HDMI port to enable users to stream HD photos and video from the phone to a home theater system.
One of the easily noticeable features of the Evo is the large 4.3 inch touch screen. Even though it has a very bulky design; it also has a very thin size to compensate it. The Evo has video conferencing capabilities and unlike other phones in the US market, the recipient does not need to have a compatible phone to connect with you. Qik is the service that provides for video chat, although it is a free service, users may upgrade to a $4.99 monthly service if they wish to make clearer calls and take full advantage of their other services. You could video chat with someone via PC and Webcam if they have installed a Qik PC client.

Applications are only able to be saved in the phone's main hard drive. However, the microSD expansion slot can accept up to 32GB cards.
When talking about the Evo, one of the first things that comes to mind is the 4G speeds.

You can make calls with the Evo while still surfing although the Internet connection can drop several times and connect within a minute or two. If you are not in an area covered by Sprint’s 4G network, the phone will revert to EV-DO Rev. The 4G network is set to be expanded to other states by the end of the year.
The HTC Evo 4G ships with a 1,500mAh Li-Ion battery which can last up to 12hours with moderate usage and a 4G connection.
