Neither works as well as my original EVO. Yeah... Better features... Better specs.
Reception and text reliability are not there. Even wifi sucks here at work and at home.
I really really want a good reason not to get the new iPhone. my wife and my father in law and my sister in law who all have Sprint Iphone 4S DO NOT have this problem.

It boils down to your area, for example the Motorola Photon I hear is known for having a good reception.
For example, look at this side by side comparison of photon vs original evo:
xda-developers - View Single Post - Data Reception Rocks!
There are many things that come into play, mostly Sprint is worse then before. But it also has to do with the area you are in. See sprint has 3 - 4 companies doing network build outs. Which use different hardware. In my area for one I get pretty decent reception on my Epic, better then any iphone that is for sure.
But it is not surprising since in my city the buildout was done by Samsung. So most likely tests were done using samsung equipment on samsung devices. Other cities that were built out by say Motorola obviously work better with Motorola equipment.
It is like when I had my TP2 reset in some cities but not others. Why? because it wasn't playing nicely with the towers for some reason. And only way to fix it was to use a different none sprint radio firmware.
