Still seems a hassle. I would wait 5 days than go through the trouble. But that's just how I feel.

I would like to know too.
I know you could always return it and get another one , but I wouldn't want to abuse the return policy for that reason if I didn't have to.
No it doesn't take any time at all. I ported my number over to AT&T and my iPhone was working in 10 mins.
Can anyone relate?

I remember that day, December 17th, 2008. My life changed when I got the iPhone 3G. That was then, this is NOW. June 4th, 2010, the day of EVOlution.
Can anyone tell me how the battery life is on these evo 4gs. I find it funny nobody is talking about this.
That's not correct. I already talked to sprint. You can get a dummy number and then when you finally cancel your AT&T account, you can switch the phone number over.
I played around with one yesterday and they are ... ok. I am so pissed off at AT&T right now, that I have been giving it some serious thought today. They screwed me on the 3G iPad and now I am not eligible for the next iPhone until January for god knows what reason.
I really, *REALLY* hope Apple announces a new carrier next week because if they don't ... there is a growing chance I am going to dump my iPhones and go Android.
I think Steve Jobs needs to go down to the CEO of AT&Ts office with a baseball bat and make them .. reconsider their stupidity.

I am on Sprint and plan on getting the EVO on Friday, however I have always liked the iPhone.
I can honestly say if the next gen iPhone has everything it's rumored to have I would want the iPhone over the EVO.
Like someone above posted, on paper many phones may be better than the iPhone, but the way the OS has the Hardware and software work together perfectly is what makes it so good.
If you have seen test videos of 720P videos from the EVO you will be disappointed, guarenteed. However if the rumors are true about a 720P video camera and 5 megapixel camera on the next iPhone are true I guarentee it will be much, much better than the EVO's.
Apple puts a lot of effort into making these products, and they deliver, they never make a feature half ass.
The evo has 65K colors, v. a 3yr old phone with 16 million.
Yes, the naked eye may not be able to tell the difference most of the time, the more colors will probobly look better in apps, and videos,
And if the rumor about a 960*640 screen resolution are true, this thing is going to look absolutely stunning, and I mean that. Even the sceen on the other 3 versions are great, but this will be 2x clearer. The screen will be so clear, you would think you are really holding what ever you are seeing in the screen.
if the iPhone has the same specs as the evo, Minus screen size and 4G of course, I think I would go with the iPhone.
All the little things on the iPhone are cooler imo.
I have owned a hero, which is very similar, and for example, when charging the phone the iPhone gives u a big battery showing how much you have, the evo and hero dont do that.
Lastly if this has a 1 ghz processor on it, it will open everything right away.
the 3G and 2g have i think a 400Mhz (.4 ghz) and they still don't look that bad compared to the Droid incredible or droid. Imagine an iPhone two times faster than the 3GS.
Anyways, I would wait til the 7th and see, then make the decision.

iPhone Armageddon: A Week With Android & EVO

I had a Moto Droid for a week. I sent it back - they should have it some time today. The whole integration of music, Apps, podcasts, etc. is what really stuck out for me. That and well, I just find Android clunky. I don't care what model comes out for Android next - its not going to cut it for me.

That's what it comes down to for me. You can rattle off specs, compare prices, etc. But at the end of the day, it's android. Not a bad os, but definitely nor something I'd swap the iPhone for (webos is the only one I like as much or more than the iPhone, but the hardware wasn't as good, and now it seems we won't get new hardware). If you like android and have good coverage with sprint then sounds good. also, android's a lot better if you use a lot of google apps. I don't and don't want to, so that's another point against.

How is the keyboard? The MAIN problem I have with Android is the keyboard is nowhere near as accurate as the iPhone's. With the larger screen real estate I was thinking this would become a sort of non-issue. Have you found the same?
As a side note, I thought that the Incredible was registering my keyboard touches as the key above where I thought I was hitting.
Then I found a Calibration option under Settings- Keyboard- TouchInput- TextInput. It had me type in the usual "little brown fox" sentence. After that was done, the keyboard works perfectly for me.
And apparently you don't have a 4th gen iphone to compare to either. I mean, sure the Evo should spank the 3GS which is more than 1 year old...
I can't deal with the capped voice minutes. I use too many of them still. Call me old school, my business depends on me speaking to people in buildings with land lines.
I'm definitely thinking very long and hard about this. I'm definitely going to look at this on all angles. My contract is up in September, yet I'm available to upgrade for a new iPhone now. So I will research everything from now until September. I will say this, I'm as excited about the EVO as I was researching the iPhone in 2007. Two major pluses going Sprint's way is I think their coverage is better in the NY/NJ/Conn tri state area than AT&T (my coverage in NY & NJ has gone from bad to worse), and the price. Unless the new iPhone blows me away on June 7th, the EVO may be just what I need.
The main problem I hear is the battery life sucks ass. People are saying like 3 hours of heavy usage and it's dead and less than 2 hours as a hotspot.
Please let me know how you've found the battery life.
Capped voice minutes? Sprint has unlimited mobile to any mobile The only calls that go against your cap are land lines.
