I totally agree. I don't want Sprint getting overloaded like AT&T is, and then lower the data plans usage without extra fees, etc. And yes, who wants what everyone has. Better to be Lucas McCain than a sheeple

I just rode by the store in smyrna and there are about 50 people in line... I was pretty surprised to say the least.

about 20 people are in New York City - bryant park store, mentioned on engadget. some dude walked by the line, said that his hero had a lot of problems, urged not to buy evo. not sure what he was aiming at, line walking away?

tried to post earlier when I got in line but my TP2 wouldnt let me do much of anything! Knew the end was coming I guess. Anyway I got to the store at 7. about 5 people in line. by 8 about 30 people. Pretty decent turn out. Phone is awesome!

just got home with my new EVO. about 20 people were in line by the time the store opened. They had a stack of papers which represented how many they had. I think they mustve had 40-50 evos at least. lol. I suppose the hour wait was worth it though because they took FOREVER to finish the transaction (first 8 people were simultaneously helped first and I was one of them). If i went right when they opened i'd probably be waiting twice as long.

Anyway, EVO is sweet. the Droid Incredible's AMOLED display is a lot better for colors and whatnot, but the EVO's screen size makes it worth it. So easy to type using a soft keyboard for once!

edit: my store gave out soda, orange juice, and 4 variations of donuts. It was like a party in there... unnecessary, but hey free food.

One of the Corp Sprint stores in Southeastern Michigan...told me they had sold 50+ EVO's by 9:30am. The store was very busy.

I'm with ya all the way on that one. The less who have it, the more I brag.. Yesterday some girl was like "it can't be better than the iPhone! Who has ever heard of the EVO 4G? You know what I want? An apple Camera!! With cool camera apps!"

Me: "I'm going home, coming back, and I'm going to give you a spoon with the apple logo carved into it, so you can slowly spoonfeed YOURSELF apple garbage.."
