And to think I almost went iPhone after all.
Yes, I bought an iPod Touch. There are some great apps and the Touch gives me the best mobile web experience I've had. The iPhone OS sets the bar high for usability.
All the other stuff I didn't like about the iPhone and AT&T still holds true. I jailbroke my touch (easy and quick) and got around many of the problems. Since I got the Touch, I don't deal with AT&T at all, and use my Clear 4G ClearSpot device to give me internet on the go.
My experience with the Touch was good enough that I almost bit the bullet and considered going with AT&T anyway, or least going with the rumored Verizon iPhone due this summer.
Meanwhile I've played with the HTC Hero on Sprint and drooled over Google's Nexus One on T-Mobile. Then I heard rumors about the HTC SuperSonic... the first 4G cellphone. Rumor had it as a 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU, 4.3" screen (huge for a smartphone) and of course 4G. I.e., the Nexus One with a bigger screen.
Sprint finally announced it today. The rumors were all true. Then add in TWO cameras instead of one. One is an 8 Megapixel instead of the normal 5 MP and even shoots HD video (720P probably), plus a second 1.3 megapixel cam that faces the user for video conferencing. So OK, even better.
The part that tickles me is that out of the box it officially has and supports a WiFi hotspot application so you can wirelessly tether up to eight other devices (like my Touch) to use the Evo's 4G internet connection. That right there replaces my Clear 4G USB Dongle + MySpot pocket wifi hotspot. It also replaces my old MiFi 2200 3G pocket hotspot.
I've already signed up to have Sprint notify when the Evo is released. My contract is up in a week... Looks like I'll be staying with Sprint!
