Wirelessly posted (HTC Touch Pro2 (Sprint): Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1-update1; en-us; SPH-D700 Build/ECLAIR) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17)

I had a tough time deciding between the EVO and Epic, especially since the EVO has the larger screen and better front camera AND is already running Froyo.

I ended up choosing the Epic for the following reasons:
-AMOLED screen
-Physical QWERTY
-Size factor: Fits in the same belt case I used for my TP2.
-If I want Froyo that bad before Sprint gets off their butts and gives it to us, it's not that difficult to do. I already had WM6.5 running on my TP2 well before Sprint released it and ended up sticking with Custom ROMs for it because the stock ROM sucked!
-Design: I like the smoother, more rounded edges of the Epic compared to the "boxier" look of the EVO. Also, even though many don't lik this, I kinda like how the capacitive front "hard keys" (Menu, Home, Back Search) backlighting turns off and the front stays completely black after timeout.

All in all though, it comes down to personal choice. Between the two, I find neither phone has a true technical advantage for the average everyday Android user.
