Elite cell phone peeps

MC- any suggestions?  I mostly use my phone for email, text, web stuff.  Don't talk much.

wait for evo 4g on sprint

pissclams (or whoever), would htc evo 4g be worth getting if living in place (manhattan, ks) where 4g coverage isn't available.  i guess the 3g stuff would still work right?

Yeah, Omaha has never been mentioned for 4g either but I'm still prolly going to get it if the plans are the same price.  The snapdragon and android were the things I was really waiting for.

Absolutely. 4G is really just icing on the already-delicious cake. It's the phone itself that you should be drooling over.

Kougz- can't see your link or whatever it was.  What makes it so much better than everything else?

hdmi out

Also, as has been noted a lot, it is the only phone with 4g which is basically meaningless to me but would be a big deal if you lived in one of the places that has it/will get it.

3.7" screen? No thanks.

Not quite the EVO 4G, but not bad for Verizon either.  Definitely an upgrade from my Touch Pro.

The fact that it's only $200 is pretty great too

True.  $200 is pretty sweet. 

And why does Sprint announce the EVO 4G, but then wait months until you can buy it?

Just to eff with me.  I swear to God.

It's a simple marketing strategy, to let the anticipation build. IIRC, Jobs announced the iPhone well before its launch. It's not uncommon.

I don't hate 4.3" screens. In fact I want one really badly. I hate 3.7" screens, since they're not what I want, though.

I mean, that's POINT SIX INCHES!!!!!!

[kso_FAN]

I get that, but when will phones become too big?  The EVO will be nearly 5 inches long. 

Just do the IPad thing and get Skype, like someone said in that thread.
