EVO has qik which is preloaded but only works with other qik users.. just like facetime and fring which you have to download BUT blows qik and facetime OUT OF THE WATER since it uses multiple networks (Skype®, MSN® Messenger, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™, AIM®) and allows for FREE voip calls and video chatting with damn near anyone.

Love the iPhone 4.

Will not be buying. **** AT&T and their capped data plans. That's some bullshit. I won't be able to use the network for what I want, which is streaming my movies from my home computer to my phone. **** that noise.

Looks like I'll be buying an Android device.

On a side not... the new display is getting rave reviews... did the screen size itself change or is the basic form factor the same?

a) I'm sure there will be a jailbroken app for that, and

b) the new Netflix app will, presumably, stream video.

Same, but 33% thinner (only 9.3mm).

um, you can't jailbreak a network. I think he is complaining that with capped data plans... streaming video becomes impossible due to the amount of transfer involved.

Come to the dark side with me! I'm upgrading my Pre to an EVO in the next few days...

iPhone4 did a GREAT job on hardware upgrades but other than the screen (which looks to blow EVERYTHING away)... they still didn't catch up to the specs on the EVO .. except possibly the processor... will need to see benchmarks on that.. I'd bet they are neck and neck.

Either way... a great job of upgrading... but with the EVO having 4g and great specs .. I'm going that route. And you are right, ATT is gonna piss alot of people off over the next few years... as Sprint and Verizon master the 4g airwaves... ATT and Tmobile are gonna look like 2nd class citizens if they don't get their asses in gear.

I might. Just depends on how much money switching to a new sprint plan will cost.
