I got the EVO today. Went last night and paid the deposit, they called me around 4 and told me to come pick it up.

When I called them earlier in the week, I told them Best Buy is offering no activation, gift card, and instant rebate, but that I'd rather go through them (Sprint Store) and if they could match the offer.

The couldn't offer the gift card OR the instant rebate, BUT they did offer me a 25% discount on my plan for the life of my contract. $70 plan + $10 internet bonus fee, and I'm only paying $65 after taxes so that's a huge leg up on the shack and BB.

The phone is great. Very fast. The battery drains quickly if you have 4G on all the time - kick it back to 3G unless you need 4G.

If you think you won't stand clicking on a screen to type, then look up ShapeWriter Keyboard - it's almost exactly like Swype. You press the screen ONE time and connect the letters in the words you want. My typing speed is up by quite a bit, even compared to a physical keyboard!
