HTC EVO 4G....can I trade in my iPhone?

You tend to hear a lot of negative comments towards touch screen phones that aren't iPhones; they have become the bar and have yet to be surpassed. "The touch is too slow" or "The keyboard isn't big enough", "Crap camera" or "The UI (user interface) is very unfriendly"; all familiar things you hear about the Droid or Blackberry Storm or Palms. Not the case with the HTC EVO 4G. I was legitimately impressed when I saw this phone in action thanks to Engadget's sneak peek of this marvel.
First and foremost, it will have a huge 4.3 inch LCD screen as compared to the iPhone's 3.5 inch. The keyboard is much larger and has cursor arrows for easier navigation through your composition. The UI on the EVO is great, very fluid, pull down menus and side scrolling are not glitchy at all from what I can tell as well. Get this now, it has two cameras. Seriously. One is an insanely huge 8 megapixel camera with flash that can take videos up to 720p! Its second camera is a front mounted 1.3 megapixel camera for those quick shots for your Facebook or whatever your fancy.

What's it run on you ask? Well let's see, just Android 2.1 with a Snapdragon QSD8650 1.0GHz processor, 1GB of built in memory and 512MB of RAM, that's what.

The phone even has a kick-stand. WTF? That's so awesome. Definitely helps when you just want to sit back at work and browse YouTube and such.

Here's a side-by-side with the iPhone and the Nexus One:


Definitely looking to hear more about this awesome piece of tech, according to Sprint "Summer" is the planned release window. Check out Engadget's article to see it in action with two videos and a gallery of comparison shots.
