I've held working models of both side by side. The Shift screen is actually much small than I imagined (not even double my BB). My vision isn't the best so I'm dumping the BB for a bigger/horizontal capable display.
I plan to thether my new phone so I'm wondering if the speed difference between the two phones would be significant for internet access? I'm drawn to the Evo 4G for screen size and FFC, but may have to rethink regarding the tethering issue.
A final consideration is battery life. With the Shift being so new there isn't much info yet. At the Sprint store they were telling me that "after a few weeks the batteries on the Evo 4G's seem to weaken-lasting only 4 or 5 hours. Sometimes we give a replacement-sometimes just tell people to buy an extended battery."
Been reading the forums for a while and I appreciate all the contributors!
