Rant: Evo Issues!!

I am having huge issues with my HTC Evo. And that makes me super sad. I love this phone. I waited patiently for it to be released. I waited even longer for my upgrade to come up. I have had it less than a year and I am not happy with it right now. Let me preface this by saying that I do not want to change to another brand or style of phone. I want my Evo. I am spoiled with all the amenities that come with it. I love the look and feel of it. I am overly ecstatic behind the apps and specs of it. The Android system is always being upgraded. It is actually a great phone.

But, in the last few weeks, I have been having a huge issue. My Evo is powering off and on by itself. It happens sometimes when I am using apps or the web. It mostly happens when I am talking to one person in particular. This is an absolute killjoy. What makes it even worse is that I have gone into a Sprint location and had a tech look at it. I was told there is nothing wrong with it. Yeah, you read right. I know that I am not imagining it. This is an issue. I have had conversations on Sprint.com and Twitter with Sprint associates. They "claim" that this isn't a normal issue. Which I know is not the truth. I have family and friends who have an Evo and who have the same issue. That just makes me mad. I don't like for reps to make me seem like my issue is unique. If there is a bug/problem with the Evo, just let me know and fix it.

I need a solution to my problem. ASAP. I have to go to another location to get it fixed. What makes me even more upset is I know what the outcome will be. Sprint techs are not great at fixing anything. They will just get me another Evo. My issue with that is it will be a refurbished one. I purchased a brand new Evo, that is what I should get back. The problem is not something of my doing. It has to be a in-house error on either Sprint or HTC's part. I am just ranting here to calm myself down. I do like my cell phone provider. They are much better than Verzion and AT&T to me. I'd hate to have to leave over this. Ugh!! I just want my cell to work when I need it to work. Just like Sprint wants my bill to be paid on time, right?

Get Into It: WordFeud & Words With Friends

I love words. You guys know this. Scrabble is just about my favorite board game...next to Monopoly. So, when I discovered Scrabble-like games on my Evo, I was ecstatic!!! I love both games because I can either play my friends or random people. I love to win. I hate to lose. Especially @ a word game. The game forces you to think which is a favorite pastime of mine. I love taking the letters and making them work in ways they would not have before. I am always thinking about how I can configure a word to get the Triple and Double word scores. They are the best. I once got a 140 point word. That was the best. I also love that I can chat with my opponent during the game. I like to trash talk. It makes the game even more interesting. There are a few people who I always have continuous games with. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. I never give up though. If you enjoy games and words, either of these are a good look for you. Get Into It!!

Get Into It: HTC Evo 4g

The HTC Evo is it. This phone is the best phone I've ever owned. I love it. The Android system is sick. I'm a huge fan of the plethora of apps available. I am especially partial to the Wordfeud app. It's like Scrabble on your cell. I love how easily the Evo can be personalized. Everything about my Evo is uniquely me. The talktime is great. I'm all about Visual VoiceMail. The text messaging app Handset is awesome. I also really love the integration of my contacts through Twitter and Facebook. The HTC Evo is available through Sprint Now Together With Nextel exclusively. It retails for $299.99. Get into it.
