Which SmartPhone - Sprint EVO, DroidX, Iphone4

Does anyone have an EVO, if so how do you like it? I see they are on backordered now.

I like the new iphone4, great screen, but you can't change batteries (i think). I do like they offer more apps, but you get at&t bloatware on it.

Sprint EVO, has hdmi, dual cams, great resolution, fast, but has Andriod and less apps.

I'm leaning towards EVO/DroidX, just wondering what you guys like, Thanks.

I have been really impressed with HTC.
Im running the HTC Tytn II (tilt).
My wife is running the Motorola backflip.
My daughter has the Blackjack II.
I like the droid OS, but you absolutely need to data package. that thing links with your google account and puts you online. online email, chat, etc.
I have seen and handle the evo. its a nice open source version of the iphone. The closest I have come to the iphone is the ipod.
both the iphone and evo have the same touch screen typing issue I dont like. I like real keys. I can come real close to touch type on my tytn II.
I think my next phone will be a tilt II.

I have the standard Droid and love it. The Droid X looks pretty cool too.

iphone 4 is not as bad as they say it is but i would hold out on it a while longer till they get a better fix on the service loss issue. mine hasnt dropped any calls but loses a bar or two of service depending on how i hold it.

This is more for personal use, check work email (OWA) good to see its built in, and have something the kids can play on to pass time. I'm assuming the iphone can watch tv stuff like sprint tv. Seems like there are more games for the iphone? I hear the iphone doesn't do flash media, any downsides anyone notice.

Iphone is great, don't have a 4 yet, but plan on getting one soon. Netflix is bringing streaming video to the iphone in the next couple of months, will pick up where you left off on computer, game console, etc. I have no problems with the lack of flash media, I can go to all my normal visited websites. As far as bloatware, it's nothing like their other phones and takes up so little memory you won't even notice it's there.

if you type/email much, the droid 2 might be a good choice

I'm on Verizon so narrowed choices. I held and compared the Droid X and the HTC Incredible Driod yesterday. I walked out of the store with the HTC. I liked the fast processor and apps along with the size. I also liked the 8 meg camera. The Droid X was cool but I might as well start carrying a mini laptop again is how I felt. The large screen was nice but too big to carry in my shorts pocket and the HDMI output is of no use for me.

The rep at the Verizon store told me that you can rent Blockbuster movies on the DroidX and then play them on your TV. Now that's cool.
I'm a Blackberry man myself...just enough buttons on it that I won't crash the truck trying to answer it!!!!

I think my next one will be a Jitterbug.

I heard the same but don't want one just because everyone else wants one. Sort of like in the late 70's early 80's, I was never a Dallas or Steeler fan because everyone else was. I was a Raider fan. Besides, the HTC INcredible and the Droid X are way faster and a lot more powerful than the iPhone. I feel like the iPhone is the Powerstroke of the trucks and the Cummins is the Droid family. All I know is either way I'm done with Windows Mobile operating systems on phones.

BTW, go to youtube and search iphone 4 cartoon and you'll see what I'm talking about. There is a clean version. The original has some swearing in it.

Love my jailbroken iphone4. If you guy are upgrading you might go to radioshack. They bought my old iPhone 3G for $100!

Gotta love looking at the forums in a meeting.
