    This is the best phone to have if you're a cheater and don't want to get caught.

    You literally have to be a ? to get caught using this phone.

    meh. just looked it up. android version 1.5 that ? is old as hell. even the G1 has 1.6 the specs on the moto droid are better and so is the screen size.

    Can't wait for this phone. My years of staying loyal to Sprint have paid off, lol. ? ' with the HTC Pro atm, but will cop that Evo 4g soon as it drops and where I live (Raleigh) is 4g capable already. :tu

    Beyond the 4g (which you can make up to 8 devices faster with your phone)
    Android 2.1
    8MP Camera in back, 1.3 in front
    8gb microSD included, expandable up to 32gb
    HDMI output
    Camcorder videos taking in 720P
    Snapdragon 1ghz processor
    4.3" TFT LCD screen
    Plus more..

    Hope it releases early summer and not late summer (rumored to be released before June 6th). My phone needs to be replaced atm.. But think I might do that instead of waiting since not sure of when it's dropping.. The only negative IMO is that it doesn't have a slide out keyboard which I'm used to but my HTC Pro keyboard hasn't been working for like 2 months so I think I'll be fine without..

    The summer doesnt officially start until aroun June 23rd. I doubt it comes out before then. It will probably come out more toward the middle/end of summer. My contract will be up with Sprint at the end of July. I'm going to look at every available phone out there before i make my decision, but this one might make me stay with Sprint. They fooled me with the Instinct though, so i'm not going to rush into this one.

    The Instinct never interested me for some reason.. This does though. But of course before I purchase I will take a good long look at what's available. I've been available for upgrade for a few months and can go to whoever I want but gonna take the wait and see approach but that Evo is looking very sweet atm.
