There are a handful of other differences as well including the UI being HTC Sense on the Evo vs MotoBlur on the Epic. And the Evo has also been upgraded to Android 2.2 now.

I really like my HTC Evo. I get so much use out of it for business and personal use. I purchased it release day on June 4th. But I am findiing it a little hard to get used to on screen text input. The order of the softkeys on the bottom are different on the Epic too Menu-Home-Back-Search on the Epic vs what I consider a more natural Home-Menu-Back-Search on the Evo. I have to go check the Epic out at Radio Shack or the Sprint store to make my own comparison.
The Epic is very feature rich also. However, I'm a huge fan of HTC aesthetics and interaction, and the Sense UI feels SO much more "right" than Samsung's (the maker of the Epic) UI. That was the biggest thing. Also, yes, the screen is bigger, and the Evo uses HDMI out instead of DLNA. Finally, the Evo has a much more solid feel to it, being a slab as opposed to a slider.

Wow, what a shitty first impression. I hate it when stores fubar like that. I would suggest trying another store, since I strongly believe that was a exception and not the rule, judging by the amazing reviews buyers have been giving it.

Namely, to play the 720p video that it can record through your TV.

iPhone4 probably has the single best screen I've ever seen as far as all out crispness is concerned. But, AT&T is known for spotty and oversaturated coverage areas, and their "everything" plan costs wayyyy more. Just as far as phones go, I prefer the EVO because I'm a big fan of Android and it's marketplace, and I love the HTC/Android combined user experience.

Do you know if it can back trace or not?
Not only can it back trace, but it can do so with such speed, that the consequences will NEVER be the same.

On a funnier note, this phone is actually straight up more powerful than my desktop PC was 8 years ago.
