I think a lot of people here are missing the point. The way I see it, one of the best reasons to buy an HTC smart phone isn't for what it is like right now, it's for what it will become after months and months of improvements. The simple fact is, the more popular the phone, the larger the user community, the more accessories will become available, the more developers and hackers will work on it, and the better the phone will get. This seems so obvious to me that I don't understand why people don't get it. The only explanation I have is that many people buy something like the Evo to be different. They just want something other than the iPhone or Blackberry that their buddies have and they'll lose cool points if more people have the same phone. In the world that I live in, I want everyone possible to have an Evo. The more the merrier. And in my world, if the Evo becomes a failure in the mobile phone world, well, that will certainly diminish my owning experience. Will it make the phone less than what it was when I bought it? No. Will it make the phone less than what I hoped it could become? Absolutely.
