Why The Evo 4G Is Dead

While it hasn't quite disappeared from Sprint stores yet, a startling realization is beginning to be found by Evo 4G users, both new and old... Apps have gotten BIGGER!

Unfortunately, as the progression or maybe even the evolution of Apps has happened, devices with limited internal storage are quickly becoming obsolete. Sure, there are options like Apps2SD or even the old just leave it stock, but if you truly want the unlimited experience, then you're going to need more than the 1/2 GB that the Evo 4G offers.

To round this out, keep in mind that the Evo 4G features 512MB of internal storage. Of this, about 1/2 is used by Gingerbread and Sense. This leaves around 250MB of App space. Half of this can be used up with just Google Maps (12MB), Google Docs (15MB), Google+ (30MB), Facebook (15MB) and Bejewelled 2 (50MB).

It might be time to finally root and remove that vintage bloatware that Sprint installed 2 years ago for newer options. Maybe just praying for that Evo 4G+ might work too...
