I really want this phone. But with HTC/Sprint providing their own version of the OS (Sense) I have concerns. I have heard Sense is great, that's good. BUT when Android 2.2 comes out I doubt HTC will be any quicker to make previous phones/OSs upgraded to 2.2 then they have been with 1.5->2.1. This drives me crazy when I am leaving Apple to go to a device that is "open".
Here are my questions?
1) Am I legally (sprint contract, etc.) allowed to install Android instead of Android/Sense on the EVO? Specifically once 2.2 comes out.
2) If not legally, can it be done? What are my risks? Can I revert back to Sense if I need to? Will my data carry over? Is this what "rooting" is? I have read the thread on how quickly the EVO might be rooted.
3) Will I loose core functionality by using Android over Android Sense? What about 4G?
