What can it do? I was going to activate it on Sprint, but its way too expensive. I decided to just get an HTC Maple on the SERO plan.
So what can this do? I have it controlling my music on the PC already, but I don't know what else I can do with it. So far I keep either this or my iPhone4 in my pocket for use as a:
Music player
Flashlight
Music switcher
Camera
Web Browser
Game player (rather Doodle Jump player)
Clock
What else should I make it do?
Isn't the maple a Windows mobile device? Geeze...
How about a paperweight?
What else would you need it do...? Short of controlling your car and printing money.
if you got a maple, why are you posting here? do you just have an unactivated evo?
The Maple is indeed WM. I hated the phone until I got my Droid stolen and was pleased by the battery life that it had, and I realized it I didn't hate it at all, I did prefer the older stupid-smartphone for various reasons, it works better as a phone to me anyways and I always preferred the keyboard to a touchscreen. I do have an unactivated Evo that I don't think I'll use for cellular service and I'd like to make the best of it. I realize that its like castrating the phone, but I really don't know what else to do with it. Is there a way to forward texts to it and reply from my Evo?
You could just give it to me and I'd make really good use of it.
I can't give it away, I already spent like 100 bucks on it fixing and stuff.
why did you buy this instead of the new itouch? why are you in the Evo forums without a real service providing Evo?
This is dumb
Because it was on sale? I bought it and an iPhone since they were bundled. Why are you so mad? Ignore me if you don't have anything useful to say.
The GPS should work. It's an expensive alternative to a TomTom, but you already have it.

Do I need data to use the GPS? I didn't know there was an offline way to use it!

Haha, I think I would have to convert a lot of videos!
Download CoPilot via WiFi and you can use that offline, just download the maps on to a SD card and you're golden!
I use CoPilot all the time during road trips and is awesome!
Also, not sure what area you're in but if you're in an area that has MetroPCS you can activate the EVO on their service. I know in Jacksonville, Florida they had this thing where they would charge you 10 dollars for flashing your phone over to MetroPCS as long as it had a clean ESN.
Man, I'm confused. Are you planning on using it for some of the things it's intended to do? Or are you planning on using a crappy WinMo phone?

If you don't know what that is, Google it. I basically decided I will own this the second it goes on sale. Anyone else feel me?

so its just a notification item? you still have to pull out the phone to respond or access all data right? a bluetooth earpiece/headset can tell me whos calling, switch through music, etc...
i really dont see the point. my phone is always either in my pocket or on my workdesk in plain view for me to easily see. Im not constantly checking personal email, sms, twitter/fb updates while at work or when im out playing or partying regardless.
Do you think it will be compatible with the EVO?
EDIT
They are and I am getting one in a heartbeat, I wonder what the battery is like on it.
EDIT 2
It says its compatible with the Galaxy S series and the HTC Desire, it also says the phone has to have bluetooth 2.1 do we are just fine!
And to the OP THANK YOU for showing me this.
EDIT 3
Well Ive been doing some digging forum and I found this nice spec
- Typical consumer battery usage time: 4 days
and its 69 EUROS or 96 bucks, nice little conversion there I dont mind paying that for one of these, it is also looking at a november release date too.
Being a very active college student, i will be getting one of these, as my evo has replaced my ipod, this should make the music player work better when im going between classes so im prolly gonna grab one

Whats the point of putting a 3.5mm jack on it, this is basically a wireless remote for your phone, not a media player

i think his point was why not make it a media player? a remote control for your phone is as useless as a remote control for your car stereo.
of course theres the likes of the bt3030 that can do that already.... hmmm
why get a phone with a huge screen if you're not going to use it =/
It's up for preorder at a few places. Anyone preorder it yet? I found a German outlet selling it the cheapest, but they don't ship to the US. Looks like it goes for $80 at Play.com but it also doesn't look like they ship to the US. Expansys does have it for $99...so I may just have to go with that.
I kinda want one O_O
Bought it, and am using it, and it is a bit buggy with the evo. The music player cannot be controlled from my experience, and the software freezes the phone sometimes. It shows "paired not connected" in bluetooth settings, yet still seems to work, but sometimes loses connection. I am looking for a Desire HD ROM port or a vanilla android build to see if I can get this thing working, but I do not want to lose 4g.
Ok, so my wife claims to have installed ClubMz's Extreme Cell Phone Spy Gear 2010 Platinum on her laptop and cell. She claims to have been watching me for the last 5 months. I know I havent done anything wrong but find this creepy. I'd rather save the fight and not get upset or call her a crazy %$^ch. Is this legit? And how can I block her from spying on me? lol
looking at their website i would say it's not going to be very reliable software.
i've always found that if they need flashy graphics and they SCREAM at you what they do, it's probably crap.
here's a better question. if your wife is saying she has it on her laptop...why not look at her laptop and see what it does/doesn't do?
Use your own laptop and phone?
EDIT: So wait, how does this even work? Do both devices need Bluetooth enabled to get the data or what? And it doesn't look like you put it on your computer, so I'm not sure what she means by that. Looks to me like you'll have to have Bluetooth enabled on your phone and be close enough to hers for it to get the data. I wonder if just turning it off on your end will hinder her efforts.

Im not the type that likes to snoop around. She said she would show me what she has. I would rather just avoid all that and block her from any future "snooping"

I think you're right. It may only install on the laptop then you transfer it somehow to your phone. From what I read, it does require bt. But mine is always off. Did it only require bt to be enabled to install some hidden spyware on my phone? Maybe she turned bt on my phone while I was sleeping to get what she needed? I have no clue.

I hope you realize that by her installing that software on your phone without your knowledge constitutes a federal wiretapping felony. Also if your employer gets wind that wifey is snooping via your phone (this software uses weak encryption) that you can lose your job, and be liable for any private corporate information that could get leaked. Also get sued for disclosure...
I'll tell you this much is my wifey put **** like that on any of my stuff he ass would be out to the curb in a heartbeat, and talking to a lawyer.

Does anyone have the spotify service for their evo 4g?
im planning on paying the 10$ a month for the premium service but i want to know if it is worth it.
anyone care to elaborate on their experience?
Anyone have spotify for their evo?
I tried it for a day. The service works, but didn't have the music I liked. I was able to get a refund because they also didn't include the Radio feature that was advertised very early on launch day.
Be sure they offer the music you want before paying.
I use the free service and it works well for me.
I've had it for about 1.5 years(vpn service and paypal acct setup as uk). I like the service. I find that they have stuff that rhapsody does not.
I have premium and it works over 3g but not 4g. Even when I tether my eee transformer, it stays offline when 4g is on.
I just got it. I personally love it (for now). You must have the premium subscription for the mobile app
ya im trying to pay for the premium service is it actually worth it
Love the app. Totally worth the $10/month if you listen to a lot of music on your phone.
I like it. The downsides are: you're renting music. Occasionally there are play back issues. Spotify doesn't have an intuitive way to find new music save a simple search. With millions and millions of songs on there, it would be awesome to have something like 'find similar artist'. The desktop client may have this, but I've been using it 99% mobile so I wouldn't really know.
Other then that, its the bee's knees

Just wait til I get a phone with Google Wallet I guess. Even then, does anyone REALLY need this?
On my ns4g, I was super excited to use google wallet. First time trying it at Dairy Queen, didn't work, and had no cash on me. It was then I realized that carrying real money makes more sense than relying on a phone.

Just how we used to attach things to Palm/PalmOne devices back in the day. I mean you know Apple didn't actually invent the smart phone or anything. Though more PDA and less Treo but there were devices for Wifi, GPS, Camera's etc all using SDIO. I had not seen it used for NFC but all I was commenting on was the technology behind it is old school.
this is for payments only and u can not use Android beam. Also I believe u have to pay a monthly fee. this is not what u think it is.

Have a question, I am upgrading to the Galaxy S3 this coming Thursday and was wondering what I should do with my INC. There will be no plan on it but I still would have the use of wifi. What could I use it for if it will no longer be my primary phone? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Its still a great device even without service, its an all in 1 tool. Its a camera, mp3 player, internet on wifi, game player, etc. You could use an app like groove ip, and get a free wifi phone and have a sort of house phone. You could pass it to a younger family member or a friend. You could sell it. Its really up to you.
Wifi, flashing, music, alternative device.
Various things you can do.. I'm getting the nexus on Tuesday and because my device is in poor condition I will not be selling it to best buy as I originally planned. But.. I will be show them its running jelly bean lol, wish it was Verizon though
Anyway just keep it as a backup and stuff.

They fetch a pretty decent price on ebay with good ESNs in good shape. I've been looking for one sort of to set up a friend for development. You can probably expect about $90+
Other than that like the others said it makes a good media player, gps, portable gaming device, etc. Use it as a tool kit on wifi.
