In every possible way, the EVO is better than anything rumored about the next iPhone.

There is nothing antiqued about EVDO Rev.A and WiMax - especially on a network without the capacity problems that plague AT&T.
I was referring to Sprint's phone lineup, which has always lagged the competition. Yes, sprint has some android phones (still not updated OS ) but the mandatory cost to upgrade my plan will destroy the cost advantages and I will not be able to seamlessly import photos, music or video from iTunes. Not to mention that I like my current lineup of Apps on my iPod touch - some of which are n/a on google.

Sprint is great for people who have grandfathered plans and can use the sprint TV, games etc. on its fast network. Not to mention cheaper family data plans than the comp. But Sprint's great network is useless without a phone that serves our needs. And I simply have not seen a phone that can do what the iphone does plus easily integrates with the rest of my Apple home. Yes I've drunk the coolaid.

If sprint does not get an iphone deal this summer (or open it's network to outside phones) the hemmoraging will continue and they will be sold within a couple of years.
