Looks like I'll be throwing my Hero on eBay, and will be picking this puppy up on the first day it comes out. Finally I can use my upgrade.

My Diamond is my last Windows Phone. With what Microsoft is pushing with their lack of multitasking and closed development practices, I'm heading to Android. This is going to be one Badmuthashutyomouth handset.

An AMOLED screen would have been nice. Not really sure what practical use I'd get out of the EVO to be honest.

How many of you that are going to get it right away are in 4g coverage zones?

I'm in a Wimax coverage area (charlotte), but even if I weren't there's a whole lot to be excited about. 720p video. 8 megapixel camera on the back and 1.3mp on the front. 4.3" capacitive WVGA goodness. 512MB RAM, 1GB ROM. A built in Kickstand. 4G/Wimax is just icing on the awesome cake.

Yeah, I don't know. Those features don't really do it for me.

8mp camera doesn't sound like a big deal. You'd be using it mostly for posting to the web or mms. 8mp is overkill for that. And the extra camera on the front... I can only think of one use, and probably wouldn't ever use that.

720p video recording... again, web/mms. Might be useful for a hobbyist, but then again, a hobbyist would probably have something better in his pocket for recording video.

4.3" screen... nice, but TFT LCD instead of AMOLED is disappointing.

Kickstand... *shrug*

I was pretty excited about the announcement of this phone, and it's exactly what I thought it would be, but after thinking about each of these features and their actual usefulness, I'll probably go with the nexus one when it hits Sprint. Especially if it gets here before the EVO does.

I think the main reason would be quicker updates for android. Waiting for Sprint to release firmware updates has always been torture, and each phone usually only gets one upgrade during its lifespan. I'd much rather be running the latest version of android than have a front mounted camera.

But, you guys are right about one thing, the EVO will be an upgrade for anyone coming from the Hero.
