I then purchased a financial application and it is ok; the reason for the financial application is because HanDBase is not yet on the platform. It is quicker and I also agree that its multi-tasking is a little clunky. In addition, I really like Bluetooth syncing and call announcement and automagical answering. I miss each of those.

With the TP2. nobody heard anything from the device, as everything was channeled up to the Bluetooth headset. This device though, everyone hears it.

Am I impressed? I am more disappointed, but it is fast. Would I buy it again? No, not at its level of implementation. It seriously lacks as a business device.
I haven't had a keboard since the ppc3700, hated a keyboard. I think that there are those that are more comfortable without a keyboard and those that just have to have it. As far as a business phone goes there are some downfalls to the office integration but it will get solved soon enough, now that all of the serious WM cooks have come to this phone and the fact that this phone has become so popular it will put Android on a whole different track.
As far as bluetooth goes i hope you don't wear that thing outside of your car anyway...

Re: How do you not love the Evo...

The line of work I do requires both hands to be free; otherwise phone usage means no work done. I have one more complaint - the mobile charger. The mobile charger does not maintain a good connection in the phone; I am using the home charger cable and will return the mobile charger to Sprint. I am going to ask for a second cable. The car charger I am using does not put out the rating of the home charger, but it gets the job done and does not come that cable fits very tightly.

I now have to purchase a backup application and will probably end up with Sprite Backup.

Re: How do you not love the Evo...

Car chargers never do put out as much as a home charger...
But it is probably defective if it's coming out.
Just return it, and look on line for a high output car charger, just beware i've heard some horror stories about aftermarket chargers... otherwise carry an extra battery, I used to with my Diamond. Which I haven't had to do with this phone...

It's even functionally weaker than Documents to Go, unfortunately
