True, but does not add to functionality of actual device.

has a much higher resolution, much better PPI
Jury is still out on this one. I haven't played with one to really compare. At the same 3.5 inch display, I see this as more of a gimmick than a feature. I'd still prefer the 4.3 inch display with current resolution/PPI.

Quote:
faster and more efficient processor with a much better gpu
Again, I haven't played with, or seen any benchmarks to compare the A4 to the Snapdragon. As for GPU, eh, so far this is true. However, we have not seen the true potential of the EVO considering the 'cap' and maybe some other driver related factors.

Quote:
a better task manager/multi-tasker
No way..

Quote:
much better apps that run a lot better in the OS (e.g. iheartradio is nearly impossible to keep a steady signal in android, pandora runs much smoother in iOS too)
Much better apps? Subjective, considering a dev only has to worry about a few factors when creating an iPhone app. There are dozens of Android devices and only 3 different types of iPhones (with a fourth launching), all of which gets support dropped shortly after the release of a new model.

Quote:
many more free games and apps
Fair enough, I'm not too familiar with the amount of free apps on iTunes, but the Android market is growing more every day, and without the restrictions of iTunes, you've got a ton of awesome apps emerging on the Android platform all the time.

higher resale value if you decide you don't want it after all, the ability to use it in other countries, as well as the other U.S. gsm carrier.
Fair enough, but in the US only two carriers count, and they both have very inferior networks to Sprint.

But like I said, the Evo is an awesome device and it IS on a better network than ATT and does cost less per month, it does have a bigger screen and it does run Android, and truth be told I like android more than iOS.
This!
