I used to be absolutely set on the Galaxy Nexus, but Sprint took too long to release it. As of now, the GNexus is simply a 6 month old phone for the same price as the Evo will be, which has what is arguably the most current SoC in the market.
The wait for the Galaxy also let me research it and for every good thing it does, there's a nagging issue with it. Typical Samsung plasticky build, no dedicated shutter button, somewhat middling SoC specs, Pentile display array, lack of an SD expansion option, etc. Some folks don't care about some of those issues. To me, they are important.
Right now, the biggest issue with the Evo seems to be the lack of a replaceable battery, but I always carry several portable chargers (so I'm a shutterbug and have my well-stocked camera bag with me at all times) so that is not a deal breaker in my case.
Of course, with Google now offering the GSM version for $399 without a contract, I can just buy it and pop in the SIM from my corporate phone
.
At that price, I can almost justify it as a toy, which makes the Sprint $199 price with contract hard to justify...
