Without reading anything else, I just have to say you are wrong, some apps are ONLY available on WinMo, and are critical to business operation.Function over fashion!

Incredible http://www.htc.com/us/products/droid...uEw#tech-specs
Nexus One http://www.google.com/phone/static/e...ech_specs.html

all arguable to have relative specs to EVO, all have 1gh processors... you didnt say overall experience, you didnt say anything about cariier plans , etc..

so umm yeah id say theres 4 other phones that are similiar in comparison to the EVO specs...

wanna talk features now:
4G: like 10 freakin people can use it, so honestly at this point, people shouldnt even use 4G as a possible "upgrade in features" since a Significant portion of people wont be able to use it for a year or more.. and by that time half the EVO users will be upgrading to the next sweet thing anyways..

kickstand: FTW yaaaaaay the EVO has a kickstand! GTFO with that isht LOL

Forward Facing Camera: new for cdma smartphones only...most stupid flip phones have a cam on front...and without 4G your front cam on an EVO is a valuable as a free flip phone at sprint that has on cam on front....., NOT new on gsm by any means, sprints late again..

QIK: is this a joke? i used to run this on my Mogul 3 yrs ago.. nothing new, nothing fantastic.. any winMO device can run it just about.. and now its rumored thats its $5 extra a month to use the enhanced video chat as well http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05...-extra-5month/

YouTubeHD: read the reviews.. an improvement, but nothing close to what was expected..

8MP Cam: whoopty doo! im sure some devices 3MP or 5MP will stand up just fine if compared.. (the Nokia N96 is 5MP, but has Carl Zeiss optics, ill bet its cam stands up to the EVO)..

720p Record: SWEET! now try to pic mail(wont even happen) or email that 50MB 1min vid somewhere from your phone... can you say "Got a minute, have a snickers"

Battery: what, the one sprint is warning us that it consumes high amounts of power.. http://www.phonedog.com/2010/05/27/s...-that-battery/
read it.. wanna know how sprint tells you to save battery life?? turn off 4G, wifi, bluetooth, gps, send/recieve, hotspot, and live wallpaper..umm dont we use that stuff all the time though?? 4G aside...

4.3" screen: honestly, big freeeking deal.. its .5" bigger than other phones.. whatcha gonna do with that extra screen space, actually use your WHOLE finger to press instead of the tip or your nail..(you guys do know that you have to use your fingers right, theres not stylus here)

if people need to complain to feel better about paying, ok... if people need to rationalize the cost by comparing carrier rate plans, ok.. if people use the specs to rationalize the cost,ok...

but were all just lying to ourselves really..take 4G away(which you kind of have to since not alot of people get to use it)... and this phone isnt much different than several other phones already on the market..

If you are that simple that you can let others make up you mind for you, maybe you don't need anything better than a Diamond. I would encourage you to actually go test out the EVO before you pass on it.

This is only my opinion and its not meant to offend anyone, just calling it as i see it/feel it.
I hear what you are saying. But even though he doesn't have the EVO yet, his statements do seem to have merit.
For instance, if 4G is not available in most places for a while, having 4G doesn't make much sense, for now.
As for a 4.3 inch screen, some like it, but for me, the Diamond screen is good because it is very compact in the pocket.
In my case, I may have to spend thousands of dollars more a year to switch plans to put the EVO on, so I will carefully consider what the benefits of the EVO are, compared to my Diamond. I do have the Diamond running very well, that is of course until I have another Hardware failure.
Has nothing to do with being 'that simple.' but more to do with seeing thru what may be a smoke screen.
Facts are the facts regarding the necessity of an 8mp camera, and the fact that forward facing cameras have been around for a while, and that Sprint lags behind with some device features, while other carriers have been there already. These seem to be true, and one doesn't need the EVO to figure some of what he says out.
And btw, the days of devices making me wee wee, are over......... Although, Iwould like a change after 2 years. Maybe I doo have to change my diapers
