I was over at my Mom's the other night and was talking to her husband about my phone (He's an apple fanboy). I think I convinced him that the Iphone was a piece of $4!t.
I told him that my phone will do 3 things that the Iphone will have trouble with. First I made a call while holding the phone in my left hand. Second I pulled out the battery and finally I pulled out the SD card.
I thought it was kinda funny, so I thought I'd share...

I came over from a 3GS as well, and I might not have, if it wasn't for the iOS4 update. My 3GS was jailbroken, and set up really well, but I'm a big cycling fan (loved seeing HTC-Columbia featured in that Desire video, even if I did have to watch that tool Cavendish win...like I don't have to see that enough already), and the Tour de France app was crashing on 3.1.1, so I had to "upgrade". Even after jailbreaking iOS4, it was just never the same. Except for the camera and display, my 3GS would have handed the new iPhone its ass, in terms of functionality.
That said, I'm a longtime linux geek, and I did want an android phone, plus the school I go to, their website is in flash, and I do homework through it sometimes...very doable on the Evo, impossible on the iPhone.
Oh, and now I get through phone conversations without losing the call.

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch

I know what you mean. I ended up returning up my Evo yesterday, after going back to ATT and iPhone 4. I really liked the hardware of the Evo, I really love android, but Sprint near me is just a joke. I was getting awful 3G speed, and when the phone would hold onto 4G, which was very rare, the speeds werent too great. I really miss the Evo, and if the phone had a good network to support it, and some of the bugs were cleaned up, I really believe it'd be a better phone than my iPhone4. That said, the iPhone just works, and I can see why a lot of people are attracted to that.
can't say it was very funny.

In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

Of course they will, the inspire and the thunderbolt are the same phones in which both are basically a carbon copy of the evo which been out for 8 months with the exception of a few differences(mainly updated snapdragon and the newer version of sense). Anyway, sprint has too much riding on the evo name than to come out with an evo 2 with half assed specs.

It's got a better processor (MSM8255 45nm vs the EVO's QSD8650 65nm), more internal memory, MUCH better screen (SLCD), and Sense 2.0.

It's a better phone to be sure, but not a huge upgrade from the EVO. Though it's always nice to have choice, I'm sure some AT & T users would prefer another Sense phone.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
I actually LOVED my last Samsung.. (forget the name, it was the flat flip phone a couple yrs back)... BUT....
That being said, I actually GOT an epic the 1st week it was out... when the stores were out of the Evo's.
I played with a friends Evo and returned the Epic the next day.
It was mostly because of the "feel" of the phone. Cheap imo compared to the bulk feel of the Evo.
I'm hard on phones and the wobbly slider moved everytime I lifted it to my ear. It just felt too plastic-y to me.
The screen was def. beautiful but not worth it to be. If I watching movies or playing games, or wasn't so rough on phones I may have very well stuck with the Epic. But the Evo is for me. I think it just depends on what you are wanting out of your phone.

The Evo takes damn good pictures. So good, in fact, that I gave my camera to a friend of mine because her phone sucks at taking pictures.
As for the Epic, I still have the files to restore Epic to stock and unrooted because my friend owns an Epic and can't seem to get any decent rom installed without a plethora of instructions.
Instructions for flashing a rom on an evo:
boot into recovery
wipe all
flash rom
*flash kernel (optional)*
*flash themes (optional)*
reboot
enjoy
for like 95% of our roms and only the really experimental ones don't follow that process. The epic? you have to use odin, you have to install multiple files (like CM, but more frustrating), then you have to worry about compatibility. My friend hasn't been able to flash a stable froyo rom yet and we have stable gingerbread roms with 4g. Ridiculous.
Samsung used to build a great phone, I was a big fan of the Rant for awhile. It was heavy, durable and actually good looking. The epic looks like a slider smartphone would've looked 2 years ago. Thick, plastic, cheap feeling, light and thick. However, it is an Android phone, which makes it 100 times better than an iPhone.
I'm an Android fanboy, I'll admit it. I've used W7 and iOS and I just don't feel the power user love that I feel with an Android phone

That's good to hear. I get great low light pictures and the built in panoramics are nice too on the epic. May have someone wanting to trade in my area.
