but it's on sprint, they only can data roam at 1x speed if you are out of sprints data coverage.

You hear they are giving some evo's out in May to lucky people for free with 1 year of free service, you have to blog about it though till August though.

Thinking of buying similar, or the one itself... I just orderred a digicamera last week so I told my self I'll buy the most stupidly advanced cameraphone there is when I lose/breake my Nokia 3120 Classic...

The new iphone looks awesome, the HD2 just came out in US, I think it's been out in Europe for a year already. How soon is the HD3 coming out?

its out in november, but i don't know if i like the look of windows 7 $:-\$

the hd3 is basically the evo with better screen, processor and memory.

But it will have windows 7 on it I assume? Maybe they will make a android flavor of it. I don't think I like the look of windows 7 either, too childish, like just too simple of a interface.

I've had the motorola droid from verizon for the about the last 6 months.
Great phone!
I have had verizon for about 14 years, long before they where even verizon.
This phone is great!
Verizon is a good serivice.
You can't go wrong with this phone.

Sprint's "4G" is wimax, which is pure shit. LTE = real 4G and VZW will have it year's end

The HTC Incredible will have Sense UI which is a great Droid overlay

i doubt it from the way they are locking it down, getting rid of true multi tasking, no sd cards, no external ui's they are basically following apples business plan. ( who have since changed this stuff, or in the process)

maybe once its hacked/jailbroken.

personally i hate this metro style. sense ui from htc is much better.

the evo is like a android version of the hd3, just with less powerful processor and slightly less ram and screen size/resolution.
