I use HD camcorder for videos and cam for pics. Don't care about how good pics and videos are on any phone as they won't replace dedicated devices anytime soon.
To me Evo is phone and Internet access first then the rest. What's the point of iPhone taking good pics and videos if calls drop and AT&T network sucks. If it's not a good phone the rest of the features are pointless.
Try to use Facetime on iPhone 4 to make video calls over 3G network or to any phone but iPhone. Oh you can't...
Try connecting iPhone 4 via HDMI to HDTV...oh you can't no HDMI
Try accessing Adobe Flash sights to watch movies or play games? Oh you never could or be able to.
Try watching High Quality youtube videos on iPhone 4 on the 3G network...Oh you can't do that either.
Whatever iDont Evo Does.

...we've already hit this about 500 times...
I would've loved to get a better quality image sensor for the Evo. It's a good thing I didn't get this phone for pictures alone. And if I'm going for image quality, even the i4 won't cut it. I have to concede. There are thing that the iphone 4 can do better. Yes it has slightly better camera, yes it's a lot better camcorder. But the evo can do that too, now there are things that the iphone can't do. Let me list it.
1. Iphone does not have navigation capabilities, you need to download an app for it.
2. Iphone does not have built in TV capabilities.
3. Iphone does not have flash capabilities.
4. The iphone does not have wifi hotspot capability.
I'm sure the iphone can do a few things better than the Evo. But it can at least do it. There are things that thee iphone can't do unless you download apps and probably pay for such capabilities, where as the evo already has it. With that in mind, I'll sacrifice a little quality to the iphone. But at least I get more functionality with my phone.
Sent using my HTC Evo 4G.
oh man....I don't mind the video quality in the evo (though the iPhone is a LOT betterin that department, no doubt) but damn...the sound quality is horrible LMAO sounds like shit. Still love my evo but damn, it really sounds like shit <3
Just to play devil's advocate to your devil's advocate ...Just to play devil's advocate...
1. No it doesn't come with a preinstalled native app, but within a min you can download Motion X nav for free and it works just fine.

2. People actually watch Sprint TV? I find Slingbox to be my choice for streaming live TV when on the go. My entire DVR library, 200+ channels with full pause, play, rewind etc... Android finally has this app, would uninstall Sprint TV if possible.
3. No phone yet to date has "real" flash, I'll reserve final judgement when 10.1 shows up.
4. iPhone has wifi tethering via jailbreak just as probably 99% of those people on this forum are using wifi tethering by way of rooting vs paying for it anyhow. Kind of a moot point. Sadly ATT's 3G can keep up with Sprints 4G speed wise in places such as Kansas City. I realize in heavy population centers that's not always the case but both phones have tethering.
While I do find better overall coverage on Sprint, the networks have far larger gaps to make a difference than the phones IMO. Just my 2 cents anyhow.
