You'll really need to be more specific in what you're looking for if you really want meaningful recommendations. If updates are a priority then you should really look at the N1. I realize there's no confirmed info on it coming to Sprint but updates for it should come directly from Google. For any other handset maker, you'd be waiting for the Android source to be released and then for the handset maker to prepare a release for your device.

ok... N1 I have a Pre right now(not giving it up just picking up a second line and want to go android)

I was thanking N1 or EVO any thoughts on the two? or one you think is better?

From everything I'm ready, EVO would be the way to go unless you don't have any 4G in your area. Maybe even then, if 3G coverage is consistent enough. In my area there's no 4G and I need to have the ability to switch back to 2G due to coverage, so it wouldn't be a good fit. Anyway, EVO hardware is the same or better pretty much across the board, screen is bigger.

ok, I didnt realize that the EVO didnt have 2g.

I heard that its damn near impossible to use the N1 in the sunlight...

maybe there isnt an android phone thats right for me...
