00:02.40TemplarianOh, yea I guess sprint says that is what the 10 dollars is for.
00:05.59EguySprint has said the $10 is for a lot of things
00:06.08EguyFrom the USB tethering to Qik.
00:06.31EguyIt's just to get more money out of subscribers and lose customers.
00:07.07TemplarianEguy: I want to see 8 people tether to an EVO torrent and try and play games. *boom* "Hmm lost internet weird"
00:07.25Templariantry an*
00:08.00EguyThat's $30 a month.
00:09.13TemplarianI know I didn't say yours.
00:11.20EguyI don't know who is dumb enough to pay for WiFi tethering when USB tethering is free.
00:12.30TemplarianPlus usb tethering is so simple.
00:12.42TemplarianThe second I plug my phone in it connects.

00:14.40EguyWell, you have to click it on the EVO.
00:14.46EguyBut yeah, very easy.
00:15.02EguyAnd it doesn't kill the battery as much as WiFi tethering would.
00:15.37Eguyhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/hp-ceo-we-didnt-buy-palm-to-be-in-the-smartphone-business/
00:15.39EguyLOL
00:15.45EguyBye bye Palm.
01:14.15acydlordits looking like i might replace my pre with an evo next month when im up for renewal
01:15.51EguyIt looks like a lot of webOS users are doing the same.
01:22.43acydlordi wonder if HP planned ahead and bought some stoke in google since they will be sending developers to android

02:35.46EguyTemplarian: No, that is the iPhone.
02:41.23TemplarianEVO commercials are EPIC
02:41.55TemplarianBeing the first 4G phone is going to be an insane selling point.
02:45.04TemplarianEguy: http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2010/06/this_is_not_how_youre_supposed.php easily best lol of the day.
02:52.28EguyYeah, I was just going to say that. The commercial looks great.
02:52.59Eguylol @ article.
02:54.42EguyCan't wait for the phone, it is really good.
02:54.56EguyThe included SD card seems to have problems though.
03:01.32acydlordTemplarian, all this time i thought jenna bush flew on private jets =x
03:03.01EguyNice.
03:03.41TemplarianI'm seeing Spin Doctors friday.
03:04.00EguyI don't know what that is.
03:04.12EguyLuckily Trillian has wikipedia built in :)
03:04.18EguyThis new version is great.
03:04.30gkatsevfree version?
03:04.44EguyIt's free now.
03:04.50gkatsevis it?
03:04.54EguySince 3.0
03:05.44gkatsevthey still have trillian pro
03:05.49EguyYep.
03:06.31gkatsevis the non-pro actually usuable?
03:06.32TemplarianI used trillian for years till Pidgin got more stable.
03:06.42Eguygkatsev: Yep.
03:06.50TemplarianI always used Pro cracked though.
03:06.56gkatsevwhen trillian first split off to free and paid, the free version was a piece of shit
03:07.15gkatsevs/was/became/
03:07.18EguyI got pro when they put it on sale and it was really cheap.
03:07.41EguyI like how it can detect rickrolls now
03:07.48gkatsevlol

03:09.20gkatsevsure is, one of the reasons i dont watch it
03:09.46TemplarianI use to watch it lost interest.
03:09.49EguyI'll never know how Nick Cannon got the hosting job again.

03:13.11Templarianmmm, strawberry shortcake.
03:13.27Eguys/a/sn/
03:13.36Eguyfacepalm
03:13.52Eguy~lart Eguy
03:13.52infobotsqueezes Eguy till Eguy turns blue like papa smurf
03:14.14gkatsevlol
03:14.28gkatsevyeah... first occurance
03:15.57EguyApparently the SD card that is included is having slow down issues and formatting problems.
03:18.37TemplarianThey are probably really cheap.
03:18.55EguySandisk 8GB I think
03:19.23TemplarianI mean they probably ordered the batch with lower quality.
03:20.05EguyThe phone is so damn cheap I bet.
03:21.07TemplarianEguy: it's because they ordered so many of them.
03:22.46TemplarianEven if the EVO wasn't the best device the 4G and data price will sell it.
03:23.09EguyThe 4G isn't even a reason for me getting it.
03:23.18EguyI'd get it if it didn't have it.
03:23.26EguyI'll probably keep 4G off all the time.
03:23.48gkatsevyeah, the battery life goes down the crapper with 4g on, supposedly.
03:24.00EguyReally fast.
03:24.05Eguy2500mhz is a killer
03:30.57Eguy4G is already live here in some places.
03:31.38Eguyhttp://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/22/seven-ways-pc-world-is-wrong-about-the-iphone?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget LOL

18:40.56Eguy_Win
18:43.22EguyIt's not ready yet though, not a full root.
18:43.25EguyI'm waiting for http://www.unrevoked.com/
18:48.02EguyTemplarian: I'm guessing you saw the windows tablet from last night?
18:48.44TemplarianWhich one?
18:49.06EguyWith the Metro UI
18:49.43EguyYuck Super AMOLED http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/samsung-galaxy-tab-revealed/
18:49.50EguyIt's way too bright
18:50.33EguyBallmer is at D8 and Engadget gives him 1 post. Jobs was at D8 and they give him 8 posts.
18:50.40EguySomething is not right here...
18:51.02TemplarianOh yea i saw that.
18:51.05TemplarianNot the courier.
18:51.16EguyClose enough to the Courier
18:52.21TemplarianStylus was 90% of the courier.
18:52.40TemplarianWithout the Courier UI it is just a large touch screen device.
18:53.05EguySo you will have to get a Win 7 tablet now if you want a stylus.
18:56.31TemplarianI'm fine waiting.
18:57.22EguyThe Galaxy S still is impressive though.
18:57.29EguyBluetooth 3.0
18:57.42TemplarianYea, that shocked me a little.
18:58.05EguyI'm not sold on the screen though.
18:58.14EguyI'd take it, but I think it looks fake
18:59.12TemplarianFake as in?
18:59.20TemplarianLike it was printed on?
18:59.30EguyIt looks cartoonish
18:59.45EguyOverly high contrast and brightness
19:00.11TemplarianHTC right now
19:00.18gkatsevEguy: do you also hate movies that run at 60 frames per second?
19:00.35Eguygkatsev: No, but my 120hz TV doesn't help :P
19:00.55gkatsevok, cuz people say it looks fake and low budget
19:01.02EguyIt does.
19:01.12gkatsev...
19:01.28EguyEver watched TV on a 120hz LCD?
19:03.05gkatsevno
19:03.17EguyAh.
19:03.20EguyIt's very weird.
19:03.47gkatsevi mean, i can see the difference between the traditional 24fps and the 60fps
19:04.17EguyI just downloaded the user guide for the EVO.
19:04.33EguyI didn't know Android mutes the call if you put the phone face down.
19:13.42Eguylol it says to download a task killer from the market

19:27.39TemplarianOh wait no rear speaker.
19:30.34EguySense has a LOT of features.
19:31.28Eguy24 hours from now, I'll have it :)
19:31.48EguyWhen are you getting your next phone Templarian???
19:31.52EguyOh wait....
19:35.13TemplarianI was actually saying that not realising it didn't have a rear speaker.
19:36.19EguyIt does have a rear speaker?
19:36.28EguyNext to the camera.
19:49.02TemplarianThen why have it mute.
19:49.19TemplarianYou would think it would use the rear speaker.

22:45.17TemplarianNice.
22:45.44EguyTemplarian: Since WP7 will be a failure, you should just get the Galaxy S Pro
22:46.00EguyYou can jerk off to the Super AMOLED screen, and it has a keyboard.
22:46.11TemplarianIf XDA gets WP7 on the EVO I will be getting an EVO.
22:46.16EguyIt's what you always wanted.
22:46.56TemplarianI know, i want it, but it's android.
22:47.22EguyAnd it has TouchWiz
22:47.32EguyWhich is worse than suicide.
22:47.41TemplarianIsn't the Galaxy S Pro GSM?
22:47.56EguyIt's supposed to be CDMA and GSM
22:49.04EguyI'm a little ticked off that out of the 1GB ROM, the EVO only has 3xxMB of app space.
22:49.53TemplarianYea, but you can use the SD card.
22:50.19EguyNot without rooting
