Comparison to Verizon / AT&T / T-mobile
Simply put, if you don’t want to get an iPhone 4 you likely don’t need any persuasion, however side by side there are some features that stand out about the HTC EVO

• Android is open source for the most part you can get whatever you want on it.
• It has a forward facing camera and will allow video chat just like the iphone 4.
• Slightly bigger screen, although what this does to battery in relation to the I4 not sure.
• The EVO is on a 4g network the I4 is not.
• HDMI out. Yes, you can plug it into your HD TV
• built in kickstand, for putting it up to watch movies / tv
• FM radio

So far other than it not being a trendy piece of pop culture that people seemingly flock to in order to upgrade their existing plans, the iphone 4 doesn’t seem to attract on the basis of hardware or features, but rather as a social status symbol of spending a large amount to have the latest product. I.e. if you have a brain and you don’t have a contract with your carrier and you would switch for a specific phone, this would be the goto phone over the iphone.
