All in all, I love this phone. It's hands down, the best phone I've ever had. My progression of phones has been flip phone (idk the maker) to a razr to a MotoQ9c to the Evo. I would not and could not ever go back to those phones now. The Evo is a great phone, I'm looking forward to what they bring out next.

I came from a Palm Pre Plus and AT&T. The EVO is the most awesome smart phone I've ever had and Android is absolutely incredible. The only two things I need are the rugged case and 1750 mAh extended battery and I'm set. Will likely get a 16mb micro SD as well. Loving the EVO on the NOW NETWORK!!!

Don't waste your time with the 1750mAh battery; it's not much better. Get the 3500 one. That is MUCH better.
My research indicates that you are correct about that. Also, Seido now has an extended battery case that will fit my belt clip. So Seido 3500 extended battery is in my future.

BTW, I have found that I actually like the extended battery door, because for me, it is actually easier to hold and grip my EVO.
I got mine 3 days ago. I had Sprint push my anniversary date up a couple of weeks so I could get it early. I previously had the Moment which wasn't too terribly bad after rooting & a custom ROM. But long story short, I LOVE MY NEW EVO!!! It's freaking awesome in my opinion! I as well got an extended battery & I don't think it adds unnecessary bulk to the phone. It actually feels right to me. I bought my girl a Vibrant & now she's jealous.
Just got an EVO about 4 days ago. I absolutely LOVE it. I used to have a Palm Pre. I enjoyed that phone for a while too... but this phone is so much better on every level. Excited to be an Android user now!
Hi, j0eycasco... happy to have you on board.
I remember that same feeling when I got my EVO. It feels real good to hear and read positive comment about the EVO.
I'm so glad I got one.
Since I received the Seido 3500 extended battery and the Seido Rugged Extended battery combo case for my EVO, I'm extatic. I have the ultimate phone and the only way I'll even consider replacing it is if it dies. The EVO does everything I need and everything I want.
I do plan on getting that extended battery combo case deal.
I do love the EVO. I just wish the build quality, more so the glass was stronger. Fells a bit cheep imo

No, the Palm Pre was cheap!! I had to turn mine on, yesterday, to pull off some music and put it on my Evo, it was like going from a Porsche back to driving a Ford!!
It also took me 10 minutes to get the thing to power on and then, of course, there's its infamous boot time!

Another Pre refugee...
Somehow, I stubbornly stuck with my Pre for 18 months (was able to get full upgrade thanks to Sprint Premier status). Yes, I bought it on launch day. I was about 10th in line, a few behind one of my colleagues. I didn't have nearly the hardware problems some folks had, but I finally had it with the "can't open any more cards" garbage when I didn't have anything running to begin with. It makes me sad, because I still think the OS is amazing, but the hardware was absolute garbage. It was downright painful to try and pull my music, etc. off my old Pre and wipe it. I almost can't bring myself to give it to my wife to replace her Pre (which is in worse shape than mine), even excluding the fact that she is now extremely jealous of me.
Honestly, I pray that HP gets the hardware right because I think the competition will raise everyone's game.
The EVO is amazing, even when I can't get 4G (it's very spotty in my corner of metro Denver). It doesn't feel cheap to me at all. It feels beefy and solid. I think it's because there are no sliding keyboards or anything like that to scare me, plus a functional power button. This phone also does what I ask of it, and does it right away, without griping at me, and I am willing to give up gestures, etc. for that. Snappy response? Actual app support? Sign me up! I was wondering what I would lose, but Android has wildly exceeded my expectations thus far. Even the extended battery I bought isn't a problem. I like how it makes the phone feel in my hands (which are actually quite small).
Seriously, after living with the limitations of the Pre--and being excited about that phone for probably far longer than I should have--I am thrilled to own a phone that is actually worthy of being regarded as a carrier's flagship device (since the Pre was NEVER worthy of that designation, despite half-hearted marketing attempts to convince people otherwise). This phone is what the Pre should have been, bar none.
Your move, HP.

I'm very happy with my Evo, I've had it since the first day it was released. Best phone I've had. My work provides me with an iPhone 4 as a work phone and I always seem to just use my Evo. I love how I can customize it to oblivion, and when I got semi-bored with it, I just rooted it and started flashing custom ROMs. Currently on Fresh 3.5.0.1 and the phone works great!
Love It
Had the phone for about 10 days love the look and feel for it works great still stock. Hate the battery life.

I made the switch on from BlackBerry. I have an 8330 that I got when they came out. It was a very hard decision, I was a Berry addict... shuttered at the thought of using anything else. My 'Berry buddies' were dropping like flies(all going to the Android platform) and on a whim Tuesday, I headed to Sprint and got a white EVO. Love this phone and can't believe I was so blind this long... Its like comparing a 1976 Ford Pinto to a Ferrari Enzo. Still getting used to a touch screen but so far so good.
