Once again, thank you all for the responses!! Since I have just graduated, I have been on my parents Sprint plan. Therefore, purchasing the Evo will cause a change to their primary family plan, however I will be paying for half.
The other thing is I still need to look into if I can even switch to at&t without getting billed for early contract termination!
I went to the Sprint store today and played withe Hero to test out android. I really do love the operating system, the widgets, customization, all the bells and whistles. My biggest gripe was with the keyboard and text messaging. The keyboard was extremely slow, and reminded me of my touch diamond using fingerkeyboard. When it comes to the ipod touch, I feel as though I can type as fast as I do on a computer with two thumb typing. I did not get this with the hero at all, which worries me about the Evo.
Last night I texted 3 people for a total of two hours non-stop. It takes forever for me to receive messages on my Diamond and to type it out without making mistakes. Within these two hours, the phone died from too much cellular activity!! I guess I am just such a heavy texter that I worry about how the keyboard responds and how fast messages are processed. Hence why I was also looking at blackberries, but I will miss the multimedia aspect.
For those of you who have used the hero and Evo, any difference between keyboards? Whats the secret to faster typing. Also those of you who have used an iphone/ipod touch, how do you feel about keyboard functionality compared to android keyboards?
Thanks guys!! This is extremely helpful in making a decision
