Re: Well, I bought an Evo, but haven't decided for sure to keep it, but....

I got it for $400. I can't even switch it over until June 20th, so I have a few weeks to "acid test" it. However, staying up all night has convinced me of the rock-solid stability of Android.

Nevertheless, there are some things I darn near hate about the Evo. 1st, the lack of a keyboard is bad enough, but you can't even use a stylus or stylus-like device to aid you in entering text. It's bare skin only. And with no physical Send and End keys for the phone, this means you can't answer the phone with gloves on. In my trade, sometime I lay my phone on a counter, and have my hands all dirty or greasy. If the phone rings, I can touch the send icon with anything, like a pen or toothpick, etc, then immediately followed by the speakerphone button, and carry on the call. No more. Skin only. But those situations don't happen often.

Typing, on the other hand, happens a lot more, and I really don't like being stuck with the onscreen keyboard. Still, the positives are so many, I will probably make the switch.
Other option is to wait to see what samsung gives..if we are lucky it will be the Galaxy S Pro with a keyboard.

Also there is a stylus for captive screens..look:
