After mulling over which smart phone to buy for months, Seth Chapman decided against jumping on the iPhone, BlackBerry or Droid X bandwagons and instead went with the HTC Evo 4G.

He liked the Evo's built-in features, such as voice navigation, and he wanted to be among the first to use the superfast 4G network.

The name of the company that made the phone — HTC Corp. — was incidental.

"I have some friends who are Korean," Chapman said while shopping for Evo accessories at a Sprint store in downtown Los Angeles. "I guess it's big in Korea."
