Will you get the EVO right away?

I want the EVO and will likely get it right away, but early adopters always get burned, I'm thinking of waiting a little bit to see what people think about the evo, then maybe get it.

What about you?

preorder

early hopefully.

Why would you wait to see what people think of it? Who cares what they think

Phones are subjective anyways.

I am getting one the day it lets me. Pre-order.

I hope it does come with Froyo instead of Eclair that would be bonus!

If you don't end liking it you can always return it. I'll most likely try pre ordering it so I can have it day one but if that doesn't work out because of supply constraints it won't be a big deal.

If the next iPhone has a dual core processor, I won't be getting the Evo.

That being said, I won't be getting the iPhone either. In such a case, I'll simply wait until HTC fires back with a dual-core phone of their own.

Otherwise, I'll be getting the Evo shortly after launch.

Yea, I'm waiting to see what Apple is releasing for sure before I buy the EVO. From the leaks though I think I'm pretty much settled. It's only a 2 year thing... There will always be a bigger and better phone a month away but I feel like the EVO will be powerful enough to keep me happy for the extent of my contract.

Here's a nice bit of information for you; if you get the Unlimited Data or Simply Everything plan with Sprint for your two year contract, which you probably would, considering smartphones eat up a fair amount of data, you become a Sprint Premier member. This grants you several perks, one of the most significant ones being that you're allowed to upgrade your phone after a year, halfway into your contract. That means you'll be able to have two phones throughout the length of your two-year contract

Even more of a reason to just get the EVO now! Haha. If someone else waits 6 months for the next phone to come out, 6 months after them I'll have an even better one.

Thinking about it...but not unless it is released with 2.2...which does not seem to be the case as of now.
I can't afford to wait 6 months for Sprint to release an update....

AOSP?

Would it be possible to build an AOSP build just off the source? Thereby bypassing the need for sprint to release an update...
