I said cheaper plans, better phone. I won't debate your wimax/4g, LTE statements because I really don't have a clue about the details. I purely state my opinions for the OP because after all that's what they are looking for.
I live in S. Fl and have had ATT, Sprint and now Verizon. Verizon is the worse for me, in my area, ATT second and Sprint by far the best. You can't beat their 69.99 plan even if they added $20 to cover 4g/wimax costs it is still better than VZW 450 plan. I also prefer the looks and size of the Evo. Imo, like the droid, the incredible is too skinny. I guess I'm used to the wider phones like my old curve and tour.
