C's been complaining that I hog her phone too much whenever we're out and about so I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my trusty old Samsung clamshell to the HTC Evo. I'd been tempted to upgrade a few times in the past (particularly when the Palm Pre came out), but it never made any financial sense. I finally managed to reconcile the cost when (a) Sprint introduced a cheap(er) plan, (b) we needed to add another line and (c) there was actually a viable Android phone for Sprint.
Reviews for the Evo are all over the board, but I'm mostly loving it. Battery life isn't great, but it's good enough for me. My only complaint is the camera (for either stills or video). They may claim 8MP, but it's total crap and unreliable for anything beyond candid shots.
Everything else is just fantastic. It's fast, it runs Android, and it has a great big screen. It's big enough that I can type quickly and accurately, something I cannot do on the Nexus One.
More than anything else, it's just fun. It's been a long time since I've had the desire to do any programming that isn't work related, but the Evo and Android is certainly introducing that itch.
