I am in the boat of having to get a new phone soon (as I lost my HTC Touch). I am using a Mogul in the meantime because I had one as a spare. I love the keyboard on the mogul vs the Touch but the GPS is terrible, and it's a feature that I use very often.

The most important things to me are (in order):

Call quality,
Durability (I drop my phone alot - the Touch was AWESOME in this regard),
internet browser to be as close pc quality as possible.
GPS,
Tethering (Free),
Camera.

Which phone would be better, thinking long term for the next year (I realize Evo had more updates than Epic)?

Considering your priorities both phones would last to next year as I dont think next year things like call quality, Durability, internet browsing, GPS, Tethering or Camera are gonna go up much...maybe the camera at best..

As far as GPS is concerned on the Epic, so far I never had much GPS issues..but other people do...by the looks of it though its mostly people saying its doing 30m on approximations for those with the issues. Samsung though did promise a GPS upgrade soon. When do you plan on buying your phone?
