I got mine night before last, set it up in a hurry yesterday and used it while working. My initial impression: the default keyboard is horrible. My first purchase was Documents To Go. It works ok, but gosh, the spreadsheet application has its own set of issues. I then purchased a financial application and it is ok; the reason for the financial application is because HanDBase is not yet on the platform. It is quicker and I also agree that its multi-tasking is a little clunky. In addition, I really like Bluetooth syncing and call announcement and automagical answering. I miss each of those.
With the TP2. nobody heard anything from the device, as everything was channeled up to the Bluetooth headset. This device though, everyone hears it.
Am I impressed? I am more disappointed, but it is fast. Would I buy it again? No, not at its level of implementation. It seriously lacks as a business device.

Seriously, I don't like a few minor things, like attachments to emails, at least large ones, don't download automatically, regardless of the settings. You have to click the download arrow, and what is worse, you can't navigate away without it cancelling out the download. I've even had it go to sleep and cancel the download.
Most of the issues I have are like that, minor, and fairly easily dealt with. I don't think it multi-tasks quite as well as WinMo (in certain areas), and there are other examples, but I just can't think of them right now.
All in all, I would rate the Evo better in 95%+ ways, and only in less than 5% is it a little weaker in comparison. Lack of a powerful Office suite is another way. Documents To Go strips some formatting out of desktop documents, which is an issue, especially when you have to send it back with changes, and it goes back looking like craps, hot-links are gone, etc. It's pretty lame. I'm trying to talk SoftMaker into porting their incredibly powerful Office suite over to Android. It has virtually all the functions of the desktop version, and doesn't strip out any of the formatting.
