I came from a TP2 to the Moment, then the Hero and finally to the EVO. But the one thing I share with everyone else not named darren (lol) is that once I got a taste of Android I realized that I plan to never go back to WinMo. Android just works, period. No more tweaking and hacking to get a phone that does what it should, it just does it already. And Android is customizable, skinnable, and hackable. It provides more choices for software and games at a more fair price. It runs a helluva lot more stable and is fast as hell (even comparing my Hero with the TP2, which is the same processor).

Give it a run for a week... I'll bet that you are hooked in two days or less.

I use internet on my phone only occasionally, don't watch movies, and rarely take a picture. I do listen to music and audio books, but what is the EVO really gonna do for me there? Google Maps, Bing, YouTube, FaceBook, etc.? Got them now and nice to have in a pinch, but again I only use these occasionally.

At this point my next phone will probably be Android-based, but I don't have a compelling reason to do it now. Maybe in a year when the next new gotta have it phone is out and the EVO doesn't have all the surcharges associated with it, I'll get it then.

uhhh then why do you have a smartphone?
