    Read lots of reviews online and they look pretty awesome. Thinking about getting one this weekend since I'm eligible for an upgrade I can get one for $200. Just wanted to know if anybody had any pros/cons they would like to point out.
    Thanks,

    i don't have one but my cousin just got his last week, he loves it the only down side well for me at least is that it uses its own droid browser if that makes sense so its not laid out like other droid phones. and 4g isn't everywhere yet either. other than that the phone is bad ass HUGE screen lol

    Yea I'm pretty excited. I realize 4G isn't availible everywhere, but I guess it will be eventually? Not too sure how all that works. The screen is awesome, 4.3". Maybe somebody else will chime in that has one.

    yea 4g is basically like a giant wi-fi network they are putting the antennas on top of water towers mostly, and i forgot to mention that it records video in 720p that is awesome!!

    Really does look cool. I just can't understand why they haven't come up with better batteries for all these new kick ass phones?

    wife's work just had 2 of their people get them, their GM and one of their VP's so I had to go set them up, the interface is different than the other droids and the battery life is HORRIBLE other than that great phone very fast. I have the moto droid and sticking with it does everything I need

    I have one personally.. ;D Then again I work for Sprint. I LOVE IT!!!! It's super fast, the 8meg with flash camera works superb. Web pages on 3G load even faster than when I had the Samsung Moment & the HTC Hero. I can't test the 4G just yet, since they have not turned on 4G in Mass yet.

    Battery life?? It takes the same battery as the HTC Touch Pro 2 & the Hero. I am getting a full day of use on 3G. I have heard of it draining faster on 4G though.


    If anyone has any questions just ask away.

    Thanks.. The only thing is that the iPhone 4 to the Evo falls short, plus the AT&T data service & plan pricing STINKS!!! I can even use my EVO as a hotspot up to 8 devices. HTC did their homework on this one.

    On my plan I get 450 land line mins, Unlimited mobile mins to any wireless phone, Unlimited web, txt messages, picture mail, email, navigation, visual voicemail, Sprint TV, Sprint Football. All for $69.99 add insurance $7.00 & the Premium Data Pack for 4G $10.00. Plus I get a discount off my monthly bill every month.
