played around w/ a coworkers evo today. IT MIGHT BE TOO BIG! DID NOT EXPECT THIS!!!  :runaway:

This was also my biggest concern.  But, so far, no biggness issues. Fits in my pocket fine and the screen size makes BBSing very enjoyable.  A much bigger concern for you should be what if it just doesn't have power one day and steve dave isn't around to smack it around a bit to get it to come back to life.

Alright guys, I got the EVO and I'm not gonna lie.  I don't like this thing.  I can't type on it at all.  I took it in to the Sprint store and we calibrated the keyboard.  No luck!  There are so many things I won't use this phone for.  The most important things to me are text, email and phone.  Two of those three I find very hard to do.  Any suggestions?  I am seriously ready to take this phone back and go back to my BB.

That is the problem, my fingers are humongous.  You know what they say about guys with big fingers right?  They can't text for crap!  I am also pretty damn Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  I will give it a go.  I just might end up back with the BB if these things don't work.

This doesn't apply to me.  I now live in Missouri.  I was looking for an app I could download that would tell me how to cook meth.  Any ideas on that?

For those on android, which browser do you use?  I'm switching back and forth between Opera and DolphinHD right now trying to decide which I like better.

I usually use the stock browser.  I have opera and skyfire on there as well.  I will use skyfire to watch videos embedded on sites. (like the ridic lady eating chilis video SD posted the other day.)
