I haven't read page 3, because I really got tired of reading. I had the Evo for about 3 weeks, then it started doing funny things. Like the screen would flip back and forth on it's own like i was swiping the home screens really fast, or when i was typing random letters would start typing really fast. It was pretty annoying. So I switched to the Epic. I must say, I do like the colors alot better, which I liked before, but when comparing youtube videos at the store not on wifi, the vids looked terrible on the Epic. I later found out, that it runs the videos on a lower power mode when not on wifi like the first iphone used to do. But when it comes down to it, I do like the Epic more this is my likes for both. I like Sense on the Evo. being able to change homescreen profiles on the fly was nice. I also liked their widgets and animations (mainly the weather). And it does have a few more extra features than the Epic which I do like. Screen clarity goes to the Epic. Only the iPhone 4 can compare to it. Web browsing, Evo only because the Epic does not have Android 2.2 yet. Typing goes to the Epic. The evo always frustrated me putting the damn arrow buttons right next to space, there would be so many times I would hit that, and completely mess up my messages. I don't use the slide out keyboard a lot on the Epic because I'm so used to touch screen coming from 2 iphones, but when I do, I'm glad I have it. I like swype also, but it slows me down more than just pressing the screen to type. Apps goes to the Epic, I don't know which apps may work for one phone or the other, but because of the Epic's screen, they look way more beautiful on the epic, and maybe the size do matter because they don't look stretched out either. Battery life, compared to my iPhone, they both suck equally. I think I get a little bit more out of the Epic though. But I solved my battery life problem by going on Amazon, and buying 2 extra batteries. I have a wall charger that slowly charges one battery while I keep a full one on my phone and a full one in my pocket. That seems to work out fine, and when I can I still use my car charger. Bluetooth connectivity, this frustrates me to no end with the android phones. I have the Jawbone Icon, and loved it on my iphone. I turn it on, it connects and shows me a battery my phone, and always worked. On the Evo, I turn it on, that thing would never connect. It sometimes didn't even want to pair. It would pair, then not find the device. It was such a PITA. The Epic, it was a little better, it mostly always connected when I learned that I had to turn on the always connect option on the phone. The problem is, when I answer the phone, sometimes I can't hear anything out of it, I have the pres the button on the bluetooth and sometimes that works, and sometimes it just hangs up on the person. Email and voicemail Goes to the Evo, it was always on time with my emails. I never had a problem with it. The Epic however, alerts me when it chooses. Which is pretty annoying when it may go the whole day without alerting me, then at the end of the day, I have like 30-40 emails I have to delete and then it sends more. Voicemail on both sucks. Why does it not play through the bluetooth? Overall, I am happier with the epic. I actually think the smaller size is more of a perfect fit for my hand than the bigger Evo, even though I have big hands. And for those of you thinking about screen protectors, my opinion is this, they are not necessary unless you are really clumsy. I stopped using them when I got my second iPhone, and it never cracked (which screen protects don't protect it from anyway) except a small chip in the corner outside the light radius, and it never scratched. I had one on my Evo (invisible shield) the week before i traded it back in (2 weeks with no protection at all). The protector got scratched up from being in my pocket, and my keys being in there with it. the glass on the other hand had no problems before, and my Epic has no problems now. If you are clumsy, then a rubberized casing that doesn't allow the screen to slide across the ground is all you need.
