I thought about waiting for an iphone.

I’ve been very happy with my Evo3D. It’s not perfect, but does everything I need and then some.

The lack of 4G in the new iphone is a killer for me. They are way behind the curve in this respect.

According to the stream of the presentation I watched, and Apple's website: on the iPhone 4S features, the antenna and related circuitry have been optimized to do 14.4 Mbps download (double from the iPhone 4), while still maintaining upload speed of 5.8 Mbps.

According to Apple, that's the same speed profile (both upload and download) as being advertised on current "4G" phones.

All this information comes from Apple, so take it for what it's worth. (Since they brought it up, they must be feeling vulnerable in this area....)

I like the 3D more than I thought I would, it’s a very good phone. We don’t have 4G here, so the $10/month extra I pay Sprint is a waste. If they had it here, there’s no way I could go back to 3G. It’s like going back to dialup. Having SD card storage is nice, Apple won’t let you have that. The Siri and the iCloud features look very nice, so Apple has that going for it. I’ll have to think about it.
