I have been drooling over the EVO 4G for about a month now and have had my name on three lists to get one when it comes in. After 3 weeks of waiting still no go.
I went to Best Buy this afternoon and checked out the AT&T Samsung Captive so I could get an idea of the screen resolution and size in comparison to the EVO. I was damn impressed with the Super AMOLED screen on the Captive. Sprint has the version that I would like to get coming out at a still TBA date. The difference is that it will be a 4G phone with a slide out keyboard. I really don't need or want the slide out keyboard but if that's the only way I can get one then c'est la vie.
Specs on the phone:
To me the real impressive part of this phone is the Super AMOLED screen. You have to see it to believe it. So this is why I have been having to wait to get my hands on an EVO! I am supposed to buy the Samsung instead.
It is supposed to be out at the end of this summer (which usually ends up meaning the end of the year) but I can wait. If you are on the fence over getting the EVO or the Epic you owe it to yourself to check out the Samsung Galaxy S models out that are offered by AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon so you get an idea of what the AMOLED does to the image on the phone.
