Re: Any regrets?

I certainly have no regrets. Every technology has a point where it becomes "good enough," and you're no longer itching to upgrade with every new release. For me, the Evo achieves that in the smartphone market. It does everything I want it to do, and I can't think of anything specific that I dislike about it.

So even though newer phones, like the Epic, might have better hardware, I won't be upgrading early, because my Evo is "good enough" for my purposes.

Re: Any regrets?

No regrets, either.
After getting so used to this screen I couldn't go back ... I totally underestimated the ease of use of the touchscreen; thus I don't think I need a slide out keyboard. Phone looks aiight, but I feel pretty set with muh Evo.

Re: Any regrets?

Take in mind, XDA-devs does not support non-HTC devices. And even though a similar device will be released on major carriers, they will not be the same device. Most of the hard core programmers are on GSM carriers.

That said, if you enjoy Stock Android, then that should not be of concern, because it will enjoy the same support as all Android devices.

If you can wait for updates, I am sure Samsung will have some sooner than later, since they don't have to deal with making Sense work with the OS updates.

Re: Any regrets?

A couple of things to remember, 1st and foremost what people don't realize with Samsung is that custom roms aren't allowed. For you to run a custom rom on a Samsung it has to be built from an actual Samsung ported rom. No custom roms or cyanogen roms will work with Samsung, that's why the moment didn't get 2.1 until a leaked sprint rom surfaced, then they made custom roms from that.

2nd how long has the snapdragon processor been around, years now. The hummingbird processor is brand new, it better be better. My next device will hopefully be 1.5 snapdragon or whatever they want to call it.

Re: Any regrets?

No regrets. I paid full price for my Evo just over a week ago and the plan was to save my October upgrade for Epic 4G. Now, after actually using the Evo, I have fallen in love with it. I still like what I`m hearing about the Epic, but Evo is more than enough for me. I may save the upgrade for something else later down the road.

correct its rooted, but samsung phones can't run custom roms unless the rom was built for samsung. the only custom roms samsung roms can run are roms that are built from samsung source. this is why the hero had 2.1 custom roms 2-3 months before samsung did. just because the phone is rooted doesn't mean any rom can be ported to it and work.
