Still on my original EVO, got mine about 6 days after launch and considered myself fortunate because there was a huge shortage for awhile. Think I have 14 family members with the Evo now and all I can say is wel are all loving it. I still cant get the new update though and most of them have been able to download it.

To say the least its been a great device and I have yet to drop a call. Its funny I have been with sprint for 10 years but alot of my family members were iphone users....they are just shocked at the call quality and well they dont drop calls at all anymore.
 
Launch day Evo, dropped once from about 3 feet (case absorbed most of the impact). The only imperfection is slight light leakage from the bottom buttons up towards the screen (that area is not separating from the phone). Other than that, no issues whatsoever. I have 2 coworkers who also purchased around launch day, and they also have no problems.

It's definitely an improvement over that rickety Palm Pre that I came from.
 
I'm on my first, but then I only switched from an Epic to the Evo a month and a half ago. Lovin' Team Evo though!
 
Still on the first one, replaced the external speaker though...blew it the first day (got a little too excited with the music. Hah)
 
Orig July 24th Evo. Only problem was a dead file on my sd card that prevented new or updated apps that loaded directly to or were on my sd card from installing. Found the fix in the market forum.

This is the post incase anyone always gets instalation error 18

The link to the market forum is in there.

I effin love this phone. Took me till turkey day weekend to root it though and this last weekend loaded my first rom...awwwww
 
Still got my original evo from august. Had a couple reboot issues during phone calls but havent had that happen in awhile. Staying strong in the otterbox defender with the broke kickstand
 
About to be third. First had dust under screen and light leakage. Second was refurb and had light leakage and water damage(was in aw when the sprint guy told me because the refurb came like that). Picking up third tomorrow.
 
Up until today, I was on my original EVO, but as of tomorrow or Friday I'll be getting a replacement since my USB port snapped off the motherboard.
 
I'm on my third one, first one had the screen lifting issue. I'd still have the 2nd one but I erased my RSA keys and broke my 4G for good. I just got my 3rd one yesterday and honestly hardware version 004 is the best i've had so far. ( 1st one was 002 and 2nd one was 003). I've had an EVO since Launch on 6/4/10.
 
I'm on my second evo because I'm a walking disaster when it comes to portable technology. One of the reasons I switched from the iphone is the crappy insurance. Or lack thereof

I dropped mine in a toilet. Go ahead and laugh. I did. How do I know if my replacement is refurb anyway?
 
Still on original evo got mine the begining of september havent had any major issue. Only been dropped once from about 1ft with a ebay case on it and a zagg front and back clear screen. :-)
 
I got my first Evo back in June or July. Loved the phone. Then, I had the charging port break lose from the circuit board.

Since then, every phone I've received has had numerous issues.
(1st replacement phone) bricked for several minutes in store upon activation. Calendar and home screens would constantly re-load. Phone would reboot at random points.

(2nd replacement phone) screen lifting, light leakage, cracks around the power button, 3G signal constantly lost requiring me to manually turn Mobile Network off and then on again.

(3rd replacement phone) arrived without water damage sticker on back of phone, automatically voiding warranty.

Awaiting 4th phone now.
