Or maybe b/c of the built in kickstand.

With regards to the kickstand:

How come I can go and buy a picture frame for a quid that can stand up in portrait or landscape - yet this alludes the EVO?
 
Have you seen the legs though? They are huge and bulky.

You can put that on your phone if you wish - leave it off mine :)

I guess R&D found that no one would want to watch a video/movie in Portrait mode.

Not much of an R&D team then really.

People don't want portrait for video conferencing on the desktop? Widgets and feeds?

Seems a bit short-sighted of them to make a kickstand that only works one orientation. The EVO isn't a one trick pony, so why treat it like one?

Android/Evo Cons:

  • Lots of plastic.

If I recall correctly both the iPhone 3G and 3GS have the same amount of plastic as the EVO (and the Incredible). As in, all the phones have all plastic backs. The only iPhone that was made of all 'metal' was the iPhone (1G).

Not really. The iPhone is no longer innovative. It really hasn't changed a lot since it was released. It looks the same, it feels the same, the interface is exactly the same (other then if you jailbreak it, but the average user doesn't do that). Generally boring. Need something new.

And, I don't think much will be changing with the next release. The phone looks the same (form factor) and will use the same software. Apple has lost out on being the first with a front facing camera. Unless they have something up their sleeves I think Apple has fallen behind on the innovation in their products (iPad for example, nothing new there just a bigger form factor).
 
Nothing much has changed since donut when you really think about it.
Is like to see some copy and paste love in the gmail app in android soon.
 
I agree with lost everything you said. I'm former iPhone user myself and there are some shortfalls, but overall I love the switch so far. Hopefully when Google begins yearly updates the quality of apps will improve. Hopefully this gives more time for devs to harness the OS

In all fairness, I don't think OP was comparing the iPhone to the Android. At least, I didn't read it at that way.
