Yeah, I don't know. Those features don't really do it for me.
8mp camera doesn't sound like a big deal. You'd be using it mostly for posting to the web or mms. 8mp is overkill for that. And the extra camera on the front... I can only think of one use, and probably wouldn't ever use that.
720p video recording... again, web/mms. Might be useful for a hobbyist, but then again, a hobbyist would probably have something better in his pocket for recording video.
4.3" screen... nice, but TFT LCD instead of AMOLED is disappointing.
Kickstand... *shrug*
I was pretty excited about the announcement of this phone, and it's exactly what I thought it would be, but after thinking about each of these features and their actual usefulness, I'll probably go with the nexus one when it hits Sprint. Especially if it gets here before the EVO does.
I think the main reason would be quicker updates for android. Waiting for Sprint to release firmware updates has always been torture, and each phone usually only gets one upgrade during its lifespan. I'd much rather be running the latest version of android than have a front mounted camera.
But, you guys are right about one thing, the EVO will be an upgrade for anyone coming from the Hero.
