Well I have had my EVO Shift for a full month now and I must say what a difference it is over my old Blackberry Curve. I can not beleive how much more I use my phone now for things other than talking. I have downloaded about 50 apps from Nationwide Insurance app to Kitco's Gold/Silver price widget. I have e-Book readers, games, WIFI analyzer's, Task List, Calendar integration with all my Google calendars (work and personal), and so many more applications.
Blackberry was "The THING" supposedly when I got it. Who could have used their Blackberry efficiently I have no idea. It is the most cumbersome, slow, crappy a$$ device that I can image having now changed over to the HTC EVO Shift. Yes, I would say there is a night and day difference between the two. Even though my Blackberry had Internet I might have used at a maximum 20-30mbs of data per month. With my EVO Shift I used a total of 511mb (17x - 20x Blackberry use). Will have to see if this trend continues.
Anyway, this is just a short update today. In the future I will try posting some of the things I do all the time, tricks I learn, and maybe some tips on getting more from your HTC EVO. Take care.
