I have my own HTC branded sim opener tool  :cool:

My suggestion. Keep your dummy phone in your right pocket if someone tries to mug you (and you don't want to choke them out) let them have the decoy.

As far as the DNA goes, if you can get past the size, you should enjoy it. The screen is probably the best on any smartphone as far as pixel density, viewing angles, and color replication goes.

WatchESPN is fantastic on the DNA.

How's it working for you though? My only complaint about my phone since the update is that the screen sensor on the phone is too sensitive, very hard to do anything else on the phone while on speaker.

How can you tell if the new update has occurred?  Also,  how is the best way to update on the Evos?  Through sprint zone,  the htp update, the three individual updates?

I just did it last night. Everything that was green is now blue.
My favorite change is that you can now use the recent apps button as a Menu button, which is fantastic (actually this may have already been an option, but I don't think so).

The new photo gallery setup is nice. Do not like how it was auto connecting to WIFI when it went into sleep mode. Did finally find how to stop this last night.

Google Now telling you when to leave for your appointment and tracking shipments are great features. Can't believe nobody came up with them.

In your settings go into system updates there are four things that can be updated, try all four periodically.

Getting that 3g euro sim card was like the best move I made when I went to Europe. It looks like this will be an even better (cheaper) option:

the $60 international plan from straight talk seems even better.

yeah, i guess it depends on how much data you are going to use. I can't see that straight talk link at work. can you add it to your existing phone whenever?

Someday soon, I'm going to do the Nexus 4 w/ Groove IP and the $30 4g plan.

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans

$10 extra for international.

And yeah, w/ straight talk you can just use your existing GSM phone.

I haven't been impressed with groove ip on my old droidx over wifi - it is pretty laggy.  I don't think I could go w/o a voice plan
