I've had the Hero, EVO 4G and the EVO 3D and I loved all of them. I'm back on the EVO 4G and battery life is great after rooting. Root is the only way to go. Especially now with my $7 extended battery.

Wimax is a bust for me though. It never seems to be available where I am, has limited throughput and chews threw whatever battery I have. While I hope our next EVO has LTE I have little hope that Sprint can bring it to my area, Springfield, MO. They haven't even managed to roll out complete Wimax coverage where I am and the 3G data coverage sucks for lack of a better word. 3G pings are around 1 second (that's crazy) and downloads are less than 30 kpbs. LOL I don't even bother trying to use data or send pictures with SMS. Nothing happens. This has been going on for over a year now.

Are our EVO's on a sinking ship?

I believe Wimax is a bust because Sprint new it was dying tech as soon as it cane out that's why the are going with LTE. I expect them to actually make good on their new 4G .

Still rocking the Hero here, but I think it's finally time to put this poor device to rest. I'm so impressed with HTC, think i'm gonna stick with them.
