Funny story,
I am at the DMV yesterday waiting in what is typically a long ass line to get tags renewed on my scooter when I hear a young boy say to me, "is that the EVO?!" I say yes and he says how did I get it already?
I tell him how I got it and say how surprised I was that he called me out on it as I have been using it in public for almost two weeks now and nobody has said anything until him.
He literally gets up from his seat and moves right next to me to get a better look. He proceeds to tell me everything I think we all know already about Android and the EVO. He knows all the details and is every bit a phone geek as I am. I am surprised as I am a 45 year old man that makes my living by knowing all things technical about mobile Sprint devices and Apple computers. He as it turns out has just turned 16 and is there to get his driving permit!
So, I ask him what phone he has and he somewhat embarrassingly takes out his iPhone and says "oh the iPhone" and proceeds to explain why he no longer likes it. He explains the closed nature of the iPhone's OS and how he really wants to get a Android device and specifically the EVO.
So the next 10 minutes were spent with me showing him the EVO and we even did a 2-way video chat with a friend of mine I recently found here on the forums that also has the EVO and we do a quick Fring video chat. I am on 3G only at the moment and Ed is in SF on WiFi. It was still a great connection and the kids jaw dropped to the floor! His number was then called but he left thanking me and saying how he cannot wait to get the EVO.

. Would make being a college student a little easier. Glad to see you made the kid somewhat happy (and a tad overzealous )
