Well, I'm older than anyone else in this forum, but I've been promoting the phone heavily for months. I really think the EVO will go mainstream and it will be adopted by law enforcement, emergency medical crews and anyone else that needs a good, fast Internet connection. It's not just for young men! The ladies might adopt the white version faster than the men do. At least I plan to buy the black version.

I'm 24.

I'm thinking more the 22-30 range, but it will attract a nice mix of ages. Definitely folks in their 30s and 40s, too. The one thing I thought of immediately when the EVO was announced: "Finally, a specced-out phone with balls that ADULTS can enjoy!" It's a sophisticated piece of machinery that still manages to retain both a cool and fun factor.

This won't attract a ton of teens, IMO. They're too busy either buying into the onslaught of Droid marketing from Verizon, or taking whatever they can get from their parents, most of whom are probably buying them phones like the EnV Touch as a compromise because "they don't need all that other crap."

I'm 28 and working on grad school. Though I've lusted after a smart phone for a while, it's only recently that I've moved far enough into the "need" spectrum to justify the expense. Been seriously looking for the last 4 months or so, and by that time I felt like waiting until the 2010s came out made more sense than going after something that was rapidly becoming last year's news.

My guess is that the Evo's will appeal to the more adventuresome / customization-hungry of the BlackBerry users and a good portion of Droid users (maybe some women that got turned off by squarish / mannish look of that phone). I agree that most parents won't spring for one of these just so the teens can text til their hearts are content. So I'm guessing 25-45 will catch most users, though the same might be said of all smart phonesm

32 here, although perhaps 33 by the time the phone comes out depending if it's early June or early July when all is said and done. Been using smart phones ever since I went back to college around 25 or so and really benefited from the extra organization gained from always having all contacts, calendar, and access to info on a single device in my pocket. Since then I've watched these things finally get to the point we have all been moving toward since those early Treos and PPCs. Hardware is getting fast and cheap enough to allow mobile devices to overtake some of the desktop computers I was using not even 10 years ago.
