One Major Evo Complaint

That is the small button on the top right center to turn the screen on and off. Aside from that, I am very pleased with this phone.

I had and still have an old iPhone which I love but finally just got totally fed up with the horrid AT&T network. I tried the Verizon Incredible. The screen was just enough smaller to cause lots of typing errors on the keyboard. Battery life was much worse than the Evo which doesn't make sense to me given the smaller screen. But it was.

I have been totally shocked at how much better the network is for Sprint. No dropped calls yet. Min dropped calls with Verizon but a ton of bad quality connections.

The Incredible's screen button was on the top left, was wider and longer than the Evo's. Very easy to use. I may be imagining things but it also seemed to "stick out" from the base of the case a bit further making it much easier to find and depress. The one on the Evo simply just sucks big time.

This likely isn't a deal breaker for me given all the other great attributes of the Evo and Sprint. But it is simply an incredibly poor mechanical design IMHO. I'm assuming there is no work around or way to fix this?
