Going to buy the Evo, but I have a quick question (or two):

[ayryyn]

I currently have a Samsung Moment that is rooted with a recovery console. Once we get an Evo that is rooted with the recovery, will we be able to use the recovery on the Moment to backup up data and system and then use the recovery on the Evo to restore the system and data?
I assume that we DON'T want to restore the Moment's system on the Evo, but how about data? Because both are running Android 2.1, I assume that we'd be able to. Or is the differing hardware going to cause problems with the restore? Will we be able to redownload any of the paid applications from the Android Marketplace if we are unable to restore the data?
The reason I ask is because I have Openhome and have things configured to my liking.

I've always wondered how that works when it comes to apps you downloaded on your phone...paid ones I mean. Does Sprint know what you download or does Android people?

I know if it is carrier specific, like Verizon's network on there standard phones they can see what you downloaded and will give you credit on your account for them...but I have no clue how they do it with the Android market....good question...but I would probably call Sprint or HTC and find out...since they are the ones supporting Android on their devices..

The Market handles it, you just download it again.

Once you set up your new Evo w your same gmail address that you used on your moment, all of your purchased apps will show as purchased in the app market. The key is to use the same gmail address.
