What kind of battery life have you noticed? This seems to be the biggest complaint right now. My TP2 gets about a day, but it's barely been lasting me as of lately.
To compare the 3G to 4G, I've got a test for you. Have you tried using Opera Mini? On my Touch Pro 2 it super charges the internet, I rarely ever complain about slow loading of any type.

I'd love to see a Opera Mini 3G vs 4G and a Dolphin 3G vs 4G comparison if anyone could demo it.
I know that Mini loads the website on Opera's server then compresses the data and sends it over to your mobile handset. I just wonder if there really is a need for a 4G connection with this cloud computing technology.

I just read this TechCrunch article by a iPhone lover and he grilled the Evo BAD. I feel as if he's extremely bias though and probably just feels "threatened" by a phone with such potential.

I am starting to get a bit irritated by the iPhone 4G. The 'leaked' screen resolution of 960 x 640 does make me uneasy. I love having WVGA and more pixels per inch always has me interested.

Th battery life has been pretty good. Not as good as my TP2, but to be fair I have been using it a lot. I will have to wait a little while once the initial excitement wares off and I stop using It constantly to pass final judgement. But considering everything this phone is able to do then its still pretty good.
Might get a Seido slimline extended battery on eBay though if there are any good prices.

That's the way I'm looking at it. Worst case scenario I get myself an extended life battery, especially since the EVO is a lot thinner than my TP2.
I use my TP2 heavily and the battery life isn't enough for me. So this makes me a bit weary of adopting the Evo.

Are you using 4G or 3G?

Thanks for the update! I'm to be stalking these forums until the 9th, as that's when I get back from vacation. As much as I do want the EVO, I want to know what I'm getting myself into. Especially since this is the first 4G phone.

With time I think you'll get use to it. I'm still on a TP and anxiously awaiting my EVO on the 4th. I've never had Android so I know this is going to be a challenge for me as well.

Well, the software issues/conflicts have now begun for me:

I have been using 3G and keeping the 4G radio off to conserve the battery. I only used the 4G once which was when I was in DC, it was plugged in then though so im not sure how much it would have drained the battery.

LOL that TechCrunch article was a very fun read, along with comments. "I don't like X. Since Apple forces me to use Y, I don't want to know that I can change X to look like Y, Z, A, B, C!"

Shit, I know that my Apple fanboy friend will shit a brick when he sees the Evo.
