The N1 is fantastic. I'm probably going to get the HD2 as it's the last of a dying breed and the HD video doesn't entice me THAT much as I don't really take a lot of videos with my phone. HD to me is 1080p. It's a nice perk but Sprint as usual is a little late. I don't see why I'd wait another 4-5 months (knowing Sprint) for a video out feature I might never use. MAYBE if Boston gets 4G by the summer (probably not) I could wait for this phone. But with the HD2 enticing me more and more every da...and having already experienced the Nexus one, HD video seems like a minor add on to me. I do not want to downplay this though, but as I said, I think it's a little late. Maybe if they announced a release of next week lol, but not much longer, because god knows what we'll see by the END of next summer. I'd personally rather grab the very last great WM6.5 phone, than wait for another android 2.1.

I can't really hate on the EVO at ALL though. With some of the new features like "Leap" the UI does promise to be different from the usual 2.1 UI. Looks like Sprint is finally rolling out what their entire image and business model promises. We can hope that these phones can reach beyond just a niche market and become a cash cow for wireless carriers. With the HD2 being priced as low as $149.99 in stores I can't imagine the EVO being too expensive when it comes out. $149.99-$179.99 sounds right to me. But time will tell. It pays to be a sprint premiere customer right now I'll tell you that.
