I have used a Diamond, Pro, Pro2, HD2, mytouch3G, Hero, iPhone, and a Nexus one.

The Nexus One specs are very similar to the Evo.

The fastest/best response I have gotten from a keyboard is tied between swype on the nexus one and the iPhone keyboard. Swype on my HD2 is a little harder because the screen can be too big (kinda like the Evo). There will be no lag, the snapdragon has got you covered.

for some reason landscape typing on an iPhone is FAST and the autocorrect is spot on, so you can really fly.

Imo you would probably like the iPhone keyboard in landscape more than the rest, but the Evo in portrait, especially using swype or Better Keyboard. Keep in mind in Android you can easily install more keyboards and in the iPhone it is not quite as easy or available (although the stock keyboard is really good).

Unless the iphone blows evo out of the water, I would still have to lean to the evo, because a sprint family plan is still the best deal.

Thanks.

A lot of people want to "bash" the iPhone as inferior because they don't know what it can do and how powerfully it can perform, added to that the "cool" factor in not being part of the status quo. It can compare very well with Android and I guarantee you the 4G/HD will be very popular. I just wish they'd get a CDMA version. The Evo is a great choice. I love android more and more every day, and I even took my MyTouch with me today to work instead of my HD2! (I have a really sick android 2.1 ROM on it, overclocked the processor, and tweaked and modded various APKs so the homescreen moves fast and goes landscape when you tilt your phone, plus some more cool stuff)
