'Put simply, its magnificent list of specs reads as though it was scribbled on a napkin after a merry band of gadget nerds got tipsy at the watering hole and started riffing about their idea of the ultimate mobile device: a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 4.3-inch WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, HDMI-out, and WiMAX compatibility. '
'The overall interface is excellent, easily one of the most user-friendly of all the Android phones we've laid hands on.'
'It's official: Sprint's first WiMax/ 4G phone is everything we hoped it would be.'
'The phone isn’t perfect, and neither are all of the features that give it bragging rights, but it’s hard to find things to DISLIKE about the EVO 4G.'
'the i1's awesome PTT capability and the carrier's all-in, $50/month prepaid service make this phone a good deal nonetheless.'
'Yeah, well, "i1" is a pretty notable, stand-out model name if you ask us -- and it's not every day that you see an iDEN device with WiFi, suggesting this'll be a smartphone.'
'If you're migrating from another Direct Connect device to the Motorola i1, the ability to download apps, surf the internet, and the general first-class smartphone experience that Android offers should please you. '
' A great phone we had a look at is the Motorola i1, a cell phone that has been created to compete a very competitive market.'
'your phone might seem geeky, but we can't deny the ease and convenience of calling up tasks by barking out a quick command, rather than going through several layers of menus.'
'solid phone'
'The choice was difficult because other than this recurring problem the T-Mobile Dash (upgraded to Windows Mobile Standard v6) had been a near perfect converged handheld device for me.'
'QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.'
'the new tilting display does, perhaps, make it easier to read data from the screen while the unit sits on a desk, and certainly should help when it comes to watching videos on the device.'
'The keyboard has white backlighting, which looks somewhat uneven.'
'This is attractive and comfortable to hold, but there is concern that it will discolor, or worse, degenerate from heat or over time.'
'Since the BlackBerry e-mail system is optimized for slower networks, the fast EV-DO network doesn't shine quite as brightly when you're using the BlackBerry as a handheld.'
'Unfortunately, Bluetooth dial-up networking isn't supported.'
'Unfortunately, this standard cell phone also has some major flaws, especially when it comes to making calls.'
