Also, the memory is a disappointment as well. If the Incredible actually does come with 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM, there is no reason the EVO 4G couldn't have done the same.

One last point: If it doesn't come out before June, I guarantee we will hear about the HTC Scorpion (Supersonic's 4Q replacement) which will undoubtedly have superior specs. That's a bad move by Sprint.

I know I sound all doom and gloom. The EVO 4G is still an amazing device. I just got my hopes up with the specs, and now it's a waiting game for release and pricing. So much for afterglow.

Agreed.

HTC Scorpion will also be 4G and on the Sprint Network...so how's that a bad move by Sprint again???

I actually didn't hear anything about the HTC Scorpion (aka HTC Olympian) until you mentioned it in this thread, so I quickly did some google searching.

Now I'm wondering if I should just wait until Fall to do my next upgrade or if I should get the EVO when it's released, then if there's another WiMax phone I like better, released in the fall, just buy that (at full price) and sell the EVO.

Decisions, decisions.

I think he's just trying to say what the post above this one is saying. If everyone knows something is very close to release that has even better specs than the EVO, it's going to hurt EVO sales. There are still going to be plenty of people that will jump on the EVO and then try to sell it and pay retail for the "Scorpion" or whatever they decide to call it, but The longer they wait to sell it, the more people will pass for the next upcoming great phone.

Depends on how much you use it, where you use it, what you use on it. Could be 5 hours (super heavy always on it) - 20 hours. That's my best guess right now.
