Smile In need of some opinions for a sprint smartphone

I'm looking to upgrade my HTC hero to another smartphone from Sprint. I've basically narrowed it down to 4 phones. I use my phone for e-mail, text , gps , calling , surfing and some minor picture taking. What can y'all tell me in +'s and -'s of each.


1) evo 4g
2) evo 3 d
3) Motorola photon
4) Samsung gs2
I don't know how to root , and I don't know enough to say that this screen is better than another.

Thanks to all who reply on advance

Out of those choices Samsung GS2 easily...has best processor and best camera out of the choices. If you don't plan to root it also has the least bloated UI...

here is a review of ths sgs 2:

Out of those phones I too would take the SGS2 if the 3D stuff doesn't impress you

Re: In need of some opinions for a sprint smartphone

A perma root is supposed to drop for the 3D asap too.

Also, HTC is releasing booter unlocking software mid august, so you'll be fine with the 3D if you want to root.

Re: In need of some opinions for a sprint smartphone

I'll recommend a phone that's not on the list. the HTC Arrive, it does everything u asked for and more. especially with the mango beta that's out.

Except he's on a hero now. Going to wp7 from android would be a downgrade. This man wants an UPGRADE!
