Just figured I'd post a super brief initial impression... I know we have enough of them but I'm less hyped then some people are so maybe it will be worth something.

The phone is FAST. Very responsive UI.

In Portland, Oregon 4G is very mature and even inside radioshack which is under a 15 story building we got 4G service. I should have no problem with coverage on the 20th floor where I work.

The phones screen is good. Maybe a bit better then my iphone 3G, but not as rich and vibrant as the Incredible screen. Kind of a bummer, but i didn't look into it much, so its possible that adjusting the brightness would help. Black levels are as one would expect from a GOOD LCD.

Sprint TV worked really well on 3G and 4G.

I didn't play around with it a whole lot. I just checked out the two things I kept wondering about (Screen and 4G coverage). I'm really happy with the 4G, and I find the screen acceptable. Hopefuly the screen will look better then the demo phone's did after I set the brightness and what not.

So, are you switching from the IPhone to the EVO?
