Been reading the responses on here and I couldn't help but laugh. Half the people giving advice here need to stop and read some articles from people who actually have a clue about what they are doing and should do some side comparisons and stop the lying.
The epic is a better phone, but only marginally so in benchmarks and real world tests. The evo does not even come close to comparing to either the shift or the epic. It is almost 1 year old and it is showing its age. So if you think the evo is better than shift don't post it here you just sound like a bitter wanna be techie defending his phone, with little to nothing to back it up. The camera and the hdmi is the only thing the og evo has over it. Also the processor on the evo and the epic are not as good as the shift.
The epic does beat it out with the screen and the camera, but is on par with the shift in real world tests and benchmarks.
Yes dual core second gen cpu's will be faster but are gonna have a horrible battery life because they require much more power to run.
And since I am not one to talk out of my ass like all the wanna be techies here I will post my data.
HTC Evo Shift 4G (Sprint) - Benchmark Test Results
In just about every benchmark the evo gets stomped. And since I know all you wanna be techies will try and say otherwise, all I will say is prove what you say with hard evidence. Show me real world video or benchmarks that show the evo as a better phone.
Just don't post any more ignorant info.
