    Legit question, WHERE is the best place to buy?

    I'm at a crossroads here on where is the best place to buy the EVO. Here's what i've discovered after HOURS of research and checking around: 1) Sprint store Pros: 30 day return policy, can probably get exchanges faster if there's a problem. They offer free 1 month's service for extending my...
