HTC EVO 4G

yay finally its here the "HTC EVO 4G" aka HTC SS. http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/htc-evo-4g-is-sprints-android-powered-knight-in-superphone-armo/

Too bad it doesn't have a physical keyboard... y'kno, for those emulated games, ssh-terminals, etc.

i WILL be buying this on launch!! unless something with a physical qwerty comes out with the rest of the same specs

and i sure hope this thing is rooted cause sense ui is crap.....no landscape even on the home screen, unless it has a keyboard?? who has a hero and does it landscape on the homescreen?

here is another video from slashgear HTC Evo 4G from Sprint hands on

Well I'll be sticking to my intercept but good god the EVO looks amazing.

Has HTC quit producing physical keyboard devices?  None of their new announcements seem to mention them.  I find this trend disturbing for us business users.

How hard would it be to use the Touch Pro 2 device and adapt android for it, I know XDA is attempting it themselves.

I still have not been able to get my Intercept but I am seriously leaning more towards the Evo now. Bigger screen, more storage, faster processor, faster network.... it just seems like the better deal if I'm going to have it under a 2-year contract it might as well be as fast as possible. Most phones slow down over time. So by year 1.75 it will still be faster than what I have now.... hell even after 5 years it'd probably still be faster than what I have.... haha.

It really just matters how much it's going to cost with a 2-year agreement.... but the past couple days I've been drifting away from the Intercept. Physical keyboard isn't that important to me. I'd most likely be using a virtual numeric keypad with T9 (like on the Hero) or Swype anyway.
