Not to mention he has an extended battery in his evo and still can't make it through the day without charging it atleast once mid day. With fairly heavy use I have ended my days still in the 40-50% range on the battery.

Impressive. I am at about 1100 on my Incredible with a few apps open. At 27% battery (have the 2150 extended) after streaming from Pandora all day at work.

Oh, and congrats.

I was trying to decide between the evo, evo shift and epic. Right away the epic got marked off, felt very poorly made compared to the shift. I couldn't be happier with the evo shift right now, real keyboard is a huge plus for me. I hate virtual touchscreen BS. I have wanted a nice slider android ever since I ditched my blackberry.

Unless you want a huge screen its really no contest IMO.

Thanks for the info, I think that pretty much seals the deal for me. I'm going to go check it out today, but I've been leaning toward the Shift anyway since I really hate screen keyboards.

I was out today and stopped by the Sprint store to check out the Shift and I like it a lot! The Evo is nice, but personally, I think its too big. I'm sure its great to have such a big display on a phone, but I couldn't imagine carrying it around in my pocket. I played with the Shift a bit and it seemed to have everything I want.

Anyone else remember when a RAZR was a big deal? That was only like 6 years ago. How far we have come! Now the technology is so complicated, you actually have to learn things to make a good decision.

Pretty awesome concept but I don't think I could see myself using one.

Too big to easily carry around, too small to feel right. Thing looks awkward to me.

Just got my Evo Shift, I've only had it about an hour and I like it better than my Pre. Pretty cool phone, first phone I've owned with the Android OS and its pretty cool, very easy to navigate.

Yeah, that Switchblade is pretty neat, but I simply don't see myself getting one. It will probably cost a boat load.

That's because of Sense. Welcome to the dark side of the phone world. Just wait until Unrevoked puts out a root tool for it and S-OFF.
