HD2 vs EVO from HTC.

The past days I have had to review the advantages and disadvantages of the HTC's HD2 from T-Mobile and the soon to be released HTC EVO from Sprint cell phones. Both have an impressive screen size and just beg to be used not only as a cell phone but multimedia viewing portably and web browsing but there are some problems. Starting with T-Mobile's HD2 they seem not have enough for the demand and current subscribers to their services are not able to get them either online, over the phone or at some T-Mobile store locations. They are working on allowing online upgrade purchasing (or being put on waiting list until they have enough of them) but at the time of writ ting this article no such creature. As far as ordering the phone or put on waiting list over phone support, no go yet. A few stores of T-Mobile will not even allow current T-Mobile customers from getting them even if they have stock unless you are a new subscriber, nice way to say to T-Mobile clients we value your commitment. Now all these troubles may be directly related to the shortage of the HD2 or not but there are other issues for both T-Mobile sales to consider and T-Mobile clients with no contracts or one coming to an end soon and that is would the be better off with the EVO from Sprint. The HD2 (according to rumors) with its Windows Mobile 6.5 will not be able to upgrade to version 7 when released soon by Microsoft where as the EVO's use of Android keeps it up to date.Also some features of the EVO surpass that of the HD2 like HDMI connection, 8MP camera, 720P video recording capabilities and wifi hot spot feature supporting up to 8 devices but it's not all green for Sprint with an existing unfriendly data policy or pricing of plans. The fact that the HD2 was released 1st gives T-Mobile the edge but if non are in stock it will be a short lived advantage. Both HTC cell phones regardless are in my opinion the next generational IPhone replacements stressing (at least in features) an every growing demand of online media streaming. With either of the phones you basically would have a cell phone (of course), a camera (both photo & video) and a mini IPad like device to browse the Internet with visual comfort even if the larger size maybe a bit cumbersome to those used to smaller cell phones. Right now in my opinion T-Mobile is more better priced plans & conditions plus their customer service support is the best I have seen so far, something to think about before making any switch. Let us see what will happen. Added note, the HD2 does not currently support commonly used flash video formats, shame Windows Mobile 6 and T-Mobile.
