I prefer the Nexus One still. Too bad that EVO 4G is CDMA.

My husband and I stopped at the Sprint Kiosk at the mall today to check out the EVO and the Schmarmy guy that worked there asked us if I had come to check out the iphone killer, we said we already had that and that its called the Nexus One at which point he decided to explain why the EVO is SO much better than the N1 and how it would destroy the N1. Why do people think the best way to sell one product is to trash another?

Very sad to see this. Both are awesome phones and the Nexus One trounces the EVO in "hackability" and customization.

So its only CDMA? Useless down under then?

Friend bought two of these.it's very nice, no doubt. huge screen, maybe too big.it's surprisingly light, about the same as the n1.

It basically is the n1 with fm radio, front camera (awesome with fring), more memory, a bigger screen and is cdma.
