Incredible instead of Evo
Well, after spending over an hour in Best Buy Monday playing with an Incredible and messing around with an HD2, I ditched Sprint and bought an Incredible. I was dead set on waiting for an Evo but I must say I've never been happier w/ a cell phone purchase. I never realized just how spotty Sprint's coverage was till I bought a Verizon phone. I mean this phone is fast...really fast. I get great 3g everywhere I am. My Palm Pre and more recently my Hero were constantly roaming and jumping into 2g at my house. I couldn't even use my phone anywhere downstairs now I'm getting blazing fast 3g all the way in the basement. Everyone always talks about how expensive Verizon is but I'm paying an extra $5 a month.
Yeah the Evo does have a few features I wish my Incredible did, mainly that front facing camera, but the worlds coolest phone is gonna absolutely blow if I'm only on a 2g roaming signal. The other thing that turned me off was the size. A 4.3" screen sounds great on paper but I gotta admit after playing around w/ the HD2 it's just too big. I just can't imagine lugging that thing around in my pocket. Especially after you put a case on it. It also was kinda weird and uncomfortable holding that thing up to my ear to make a phone call. I know it sounds odd, but another deal breaker was the lack of a trackball or optical sensor to move the cursor around. I do use it more than a few times a day. I honestly can't think of an HTC Android headset that doesn't have some type of trackball. Finally, I just can't help but think Sprint is gonna drop the ball on this. I mean look at Sprint's record. As far as I know Hero users are still waiting on that 2.1 update. By the time they released the Pre a new iPhone was out. And now there's rumors goin around that the Evo is getting pushed back to labor day. Well that's just my 2 cents. I am sure a lot of you guys will disagree with me. But I absolutely love this phone. |

No service provider is perfect, period. Enjoy your new droid incredible, its a great phone but the evo is still better in every way.

I'm not going to disagree with you if that's what you need. Congrats on the purchase. For me, VZW is the same all around as Sprint is, if not worse in my area.
At the end of the day, not everyone wants the same things in a smartphone, and it seems like you got all the stuff you need. EDIT: I don't think Sprint is going to drop the ball on the Evo. This is probably the most important device they've ever launched in the history of their company, and I'm sure they will dot all their I's and cross all their T's on this one. |

I also have a 55" 1080p in the living room. I bet you'd REALLY be able to tell the difference on that if it was 720p. |
