Should You Buy the EVO? Pros and Cons of the Next Big Android Phone

Forget the Nexus One, Google's failed attempt at marketing its own "iPhone killer" via the web - the next big "Google Phone" is definitely going to be HTC's EVO, the first 4G Android smartphone to hit the U.S.

Arriving June 4th on Sprint, the EVO comes with a loaded spec sheet that includes everything you could possibly want in a smartphone and then some: 4G, a built-in mobile hotspot, dual cameras, HDMI output, FM tuner and more.

HTC Countersues Apple

HTC, the maker of several phones that run on Google's Android platform, has sued Apple for patent infringement, in response to a suit that the iPhone maker filed against HTC weeks ago.

Senh: Now, we're talking. HTC started making cell phones long before Apple came into the scene with the iPhone. So did Nokia, who also counter-sued Apple recently. We'll see who has more lawyer power. At least the lawyers are happy.

Google's iPhone rival gains momentum

Google's mobile platform has a ways to go before it can even think of surpassing the smartphone market share of RIM or Apple, but Android's been buoyed by a flurry of good news that points to greener pastures — although a recent hiccup with Google's would-be flagship phone, the Nexus One, should give the big brains in Mountain View a moment of pause.

Senh: I guess it's official - the Nexus One (aka the Google phone) is a dud. This is a case where they made a great phone, according to the reviews, but just didn't know how to sell it. I REALLY wanted this phone, but couldn't get it.
