It's okay to express your opinion. I'm not attacking you either. It is just that I wanted to point out a contradiction in your original post because, like you said, you started talking about lag for some reason, and you can't have a real discussion without being reasonably critical.
I also think the retina display is nice too, but it is subjective whether or not the extremely high pixel density is better than a bigger screen. Most people won't notice the difference in density from day to day usage at a far enough viewing distance. My 3.3" Samsung is even smaller than the iPhone screen, and is 480x800, so it is plenty dense as well. The real difference you may be noticing is either the quality of the display (the Evo is pretty middling) or the way the pixels are utilized. The Iphone 4 has its entire system optimized for its high resolution display and it makes text very nice and round and crisp and has superfine high-res icons and well formatted apps. Android runs the gamut, even as low as 320x240, so who knows how well each indivdual element is doing to take advantage of bigger prime real estate.
Agreed, the Evo's screen is definitely not the best. I agree with you 100%. I looked at a Droid's (1st gen.) screen once and I couldn't believe how much better it looked than the Evo's. Unfortunately, I didn't have too much time to spend with it.
