Jess sounds like me, busy and efficient with our devices. I wanted to comment that the Evo will do all of the things the iPhone does, and more.. the Evo has Adobe flash for viewing websites as they were intended, and the iPhone does not, the Evo can do face to face chat without having to be on WiFi.. There are a few other things but I will leave it up to you all to do the research, as what matters is what YOU need your device to do.
I personally am a fan of open source and freedom, not a company telling me what I can and can't do with my device which is why I support Android and the tremendous community of developers. You will find these developers very willing and excited to improve their software just simply for the pride of having done so.
