Anyone leaving an iPhone (Any Gen) for Evo

---

I've only owned the iPhone 3G. I didn't want to be the first to jump on the 2G because I thought it was asinine for Apple to release their first phone on 2G when we already had 3G. I loved the iPhone but the main gripes about it were lack of customization. I did the whole jailbreak thing and got all these cool apps but with Winterboard and themes you'd run into crashes, apps just rebooting, etc.

I mainly switched because I'm pissed that the new iPhone will be minimal at best but yet many people will flock outside on launch day to get the device. I've owned Nokia phones with video recorders and a FLASH! It's frustrating to see a company nickel and dime people with *Magical & Revolutionary Features* that have existed on phones for almost a decade.

The only thing Apple has going for them is the App Store but hopefully Android will catch up and people will see the light.

I'm going from paying $250/mo with AT&T to $120-$140/mo with Sprint. I've since sold my iPhone two weeks ago and I can honestly tell you I don't miss it. I"m using a temporary crappy Blackberry 8900 for now until launch day.

I am giving up my 3GS for the EVO.
I have coverage issues with AT&T.
Like you, I am saving a bunch of money, even with the EVO 4G $10 surcharge.

I also am jailbroken. I admit the iPhone is an amazing phone and when you jailbreak it, its even better. I came from WinMo, had a Tilt and with xda-developers modding your phone is a completely different experience than jailbreaking.

I think the only thing I'll miss is the 32GBs of space to carry my music but then again, my iphone will just become an ipod touch and I am ok with that.

I pick the EVO over the next iphone for screen size, Android (long live an open OS), plan pricing, and overall awesomeness lol.

I am curious what the new iphone is going to have though.

Were going to test out the Evo's, and so long as it has good battery life, Sprint data speeds are = to AT&T and the phone isn't too big we will make the switch. Otherwise we will be selling our 3gs's for the new iphone hd's.

Why not just get a 16GB or 32GB micro SD for the Evo?

I have the incredible on one account from client that pays for my service and phone.

I have AT&T with the everything plan $120.00 a month. No tethering. IPHONE 3GS - jailbroken 3.13 - all sorts of stuff.

Not a big app person. I use Timewerks and thats about it as far as a paid app. I have never paid for anything else.

I already enjoy android so I will enjoy it 30% more with the larger 4.3" screen

Froyo 2.2 here I come. This will give it the boost without a hardware upgrade

I won't miss the Iphone. I had too many problems with mine. I am on my 5th warranty phone in less than 4 months - all lock ups/glitchy. No it was not the jailbreak. two of them didn't make it outside the Apple Store. Happened while I was walking out.

I couldn't complain to get a better phone the 3GS was the best they had.

I like HTC and their innovations so far. Keep them coming.

I am leaving the iPhone. I have been a fanboy since the 3G was released. I now use a 16GB 3GS and have been watching and waiting for the phone that would make me switch. The Incredible was close, but the EVO got the job done. Just posted my iPhone for sale on my local craigslist and eBay.

You do realize that this phone accepts MicroSD cards, right?

Pre-ordered Evo last week. Sold my 3gs yesterday. Bought a hero on a sprint account for a temporary phone that allows me to test android out and see how sprint is in my area. That way I can always return my hero within the 14 day period, get my Evo, and if I hate sprint/android or both (all very unlikely) then I can cancel my sprint account, still have my AT&T account for 2 months (altho already ported my number to sprint, hopefully can port it back to AT&T if need be) and when the next iPhone is announced if it's better than evo (also highly unlikely) then I'll go with that. My 3gs netted me $281.35 at the shack so money isn't a problem with any of these phones, and I have lots of options. Can't wait until the 4th!
