So I just came from my local BestBuy to check on my pre-order and I am #2 in line. I figured I would ask if they had an EVO on hand...and they had a dummy phone available......all I can say is WOW.
This phone is rock solid! This has to be one of the best built phones on the market. The kick stand is firm and does not seem like it will loosen over time. The one negative I see in terms of Hardware is the camera lens--it protrudes out from the phone and can possible get scratched.
In terms of size--this thing is BIG. The screen is MASSIVE! I currently have a Palm Pre and a Blackberry Tour and it is waaaay bigger than those phones. I do not think the size will be a problem, but it will definitely take some getting use to for those of us coming from smaller phones. People who say the EVO will slide in your pocket no problem are wearing sweat pants or really baggy jeans.....I am a holster on the belt kinda guy but I don't think this will be a pocket friendly phone--especially for those youngsters who wear skinny jeans! And if you are considering one of those hard case covers then forget about it!
