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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been with a hardware qwerty from the ppc 6600 and never thought I would go to a touch screen keyboard. For a month running up to getting my evo I started playing with the TP2 onscreen keyboard it was a little rought, but I got used to it. Then when I got my evo I was amazed how easy it was to type on. The predictive/corrective is amazing. I actualy feel I can type as fast if not slightly faster than on my tp2. and I was able to type full speed w/o looking at the keyboard on my tp2. I actually find slide out keyboards to be ugly and take away from the sleek look of the phone. I'm with htc evo untill it craps out and I get upgraded to another phone.

Oh and I'd like to give a shout-out to htc for making shabby phones that eventually die and sprint protection plan for replacing them. I bought the 6600 and was upgraded through 6700, 6800, tp, tp2. I sold my TP2 for $230 and bought my evo. So I still haven't had any out of pocket cost for a my phones since the ppc 6600. Well I guess the only out of pocket cost was the monthly protection plan cost.

galaxy s was already rooted and unless i misunderstood what that meant, doesn't that mean you can put custom roms on it?
