My dad was in Green Bay recently and marveled at the 4G speeds on his EVO.  (I was :surprised: that freakin Green Bay had 4G.). Anyhoos-  he dropped his phone and cracked the screen.  Sprint gave him the option of a $125 repair for a new screen or a $100 insurance claim for a new phone, presumably.  Kinda sucks the insurance deductable is so high.

True, but its just because the unsubsidized cost of that phone is insanely high IMO

Had to order my Evo online so I will have to roll to MOAP'r with my old ass Palm Pre. Looks like I will have to sit at the kiddie table and wish I could hang with all the cool kids and their uber-elite android phones. :cry:

$450 isn't high, let alone insanely high.

You can play with mine and set it all up for me in the process.

there's a shocker

<-- would kill a hobo to find an Evo. Wichita is bone dry. Got a feces ton of the POS Epics tho.
you should check your store today/tomorrow, i bet they have some in stock...also, they're currently available on Sprint.com and they'll have it to you in ~2 days.

Going to hold out a few months for the verizon version of an evo or something else that seems impervious to a drunk sd karate chop.

That BB Torch looks pretty BA.  I'll have to decided in the next month if it's BA enough to switch to AT+T.  I'm leaning towards no.

Are you set on a BB? Because you would really be better off getting an Android... The software (even with the updated BB 6 OS) isn't very good.

I've really become fond of the BB setup.  I'm sure I could switch and eventually be just as happy with another platform.  Which is what I'll probably do because I prefer to stay with Sprint and they don't offer a BB that would be an upgrade from what I have.  May go with the EVO, everyone I know that has it seems pleased with it.  It is a bit bigger than I would like though...

I don't know too much about the torch, but I do know that it isn't selling very well.

Unless you are a complete Apple/IPhone fan (nothing wrong with that), its hard to beat the Android phones made by HTC, no matter what wireless company you have.  JMHO.
