Hmm..double the speed, but the TP2 still is better? How did you come to that conclusion? Even the amount of RAM and ROM on the Evo is way bigger. I currently have the TP2 and can say from experience that phone is "half" of what the Evo is. The Qwerty keyboard is just a added fasion, if you can't type on a onscreen keyboard, you don't deserve to own a Smartphone, physical keyboards are just one more thing to break, or stop working. Windows Mobile Apps? Are you serious? They are 90% junk...horrible layouts, look like a kid made them...and tweaking programs are the worst of it. You shouldn't have to load your phone up with tweaking programs, it should come out of the box ready to use...without alteration..
Your whole thing on the $10 mandated fee is semi wrong. The fee is for data usage yes, but it also is part of what kind of phone you are getting. There is no other phone out there right now that can even come close to the Evo in terms of specs, and features.
Evo 4G (3G/4G data capable, Mobile Hotspot up to 8 devices, Dual cameras with flash, one of which is capable of 720P video, kickstand, 4.3inch screen, HDMI out...and many more.
Can you tell me any other phone out there that can even come close? Yeah, maybe the HTC Incredible, but it lacks in areas that Evo has. The $10 fee is to cover all those and data usage, uncapped 4G usage...I'm more than willing to pay for that...it really is a very small price to pay when it comes to what you get.
Try out the Android Market, you will be suprised what you see and how much of it is free. I can tell you there are programs in the market I wish I could have on my TP2, that will never ever come...So wake up..take another dip into the Evo World!

What's with all the vitriol? I agree with some of what you say, and disagree with other things. The keyboard on the TP2 isn't any more likely to break than the kickstand on the Evo. Until Froyo, all apps load to main memory. My free memory went from 370 down to 272 loading up some free apps from the MarketPlace. And I never ran out on the TP2, so what difference does it make that the Evo has twice as much? And twice the speed? That doesn't matter to most things, now does it? Phone calls? No. Reading, doing email, playing Teeter, texting - lets face it, for most things the TP2 is faster than needed. And the 720p video isn't that good - I took one tonight and uploaded it to YouTube, and my TP2 would have done about as good with a file one tenth (1/10th) the size.
Your assertion that "if you can't type on a onscreen keyboard, you don't deserve to own a Smartphone" is just insulting and stupid. Objectivity is needed, not fanboys.
