if it's a refurb it could be defective. that's why i always buy new, no used ones.

Sprint has NO control over your phone. Google can do certain things, as we saw last week with the remote app remover. But they would never change your homescreens and add widgets. It was probably just the touch screen acting crazy.

you get upset quite easily. i didn't say you HAD to buy one, i said it's an option if your phone is jacked. there is no such word as refurb, it's used, plain & simple.
my advice is to do a full wipe and try a different rom to see if your issues persist.

if he wants an evo, it would be worth it to buy new, not used. and yes the minute the evo3d drops on sprint, so will the price of an evo. it's just the way it works. prices are already down alot from even 6 months ago. they used to go for $500+ on craigslist or ebay, not anymore.
My Samsung moment did that after I flashed a ROM, then it would settle down. I'm sure it was the screen being over sensitive.

$2800 with a two year contract. $60,000 without a contract. That is in US dollars.
no one knows but id say full price without an upgrade will be more than the hero was...so probably around $500 +

Am I the only one that doesnt want the EVO here? I don't know... there's just a few things that draw me away from it.
Sorry for this rant, but I have to do it somewhere... okay, here goes.
First I don't know about you guys but Sense UI kinda gets old after a while, especially the HTC Keyboard, yeah I know they are gonna be making it a "larger keyboard" but its not the size that bugs me, its the layout. I don't like the whole press to get other characters like numbers and punctuation, imo the AOSP keyboard pwns & I think they should give the choice to use which keyboard you like best, not limit you to HTC's.
Also, I have a feeling this phone is gonna be wayy overpriced, sure its got crazy sweet features but I dont know... I just dont feel its worth it. For me, my next phone is gonna be the Nexus One (on Sprint). I feel they did that phone right, it's HTC but no Sense UI but not totally stock either.
Am I alone on this or does anyone get where I'm coming from?

Nexus one is a great phone as well, but is my second choice. I want the Evo because I prefer the bigger screen and I live in a 4g area. I agree that sense sucks, but XDA is going to be all over the Evo, so I'm not too concerned about custom ROMs.

Definitely get another Evo, unless you want a physical keyboard. I'd be very surprised if Sprint cannibalizes the Evo & Epic that quickly (before the holiday season).
I don't know what's scheduled to be released, but I'd be surprised if Sprint adds anything Android better than a non-4G, 1GHz, 3.7" screen by then.

MY question is how are you eligible for an upgrade already? Is it another line on your account? I would say the Epic looks pretty amazing though I have heard mixed reviews on the Super AMOLED screens outside.

maybe when it's in reference to a person.
OP: pay the $100 for the evo, sell it to recoup the initial and some of the insurance cost, and get the epic, since you're probably going to get it anyway. even though you'll have to spend $100 up front (or in your bill), you will be able to recover some of the money you initially spent on the original device. there's no use in not doing so if you have insurance. i would do it even if i had a touch pro. I sold mine for $150 a week ago. you aren't defrauding anyone if your phone actually got stolen.
Ever wanted to kill your wife after she dropped her evo into the crapper? I have. Just happened on Saturday. She forgot it was in her back pocket, and out it slipped (luckily pre-dump, lol). Pulled the battery right away, and buried it in a sealed tupperware container of rice. After a day and a half, took it out, and it works. Still has moisture under the screen, and the haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons isn't working right, but she can deal with those two things, unless they're cheap to fix. We'll see how things go over a longer period, as I just took it out today, but I've got some hope at least. Just felt like sharing a little messed up story.
I bet it went plop!

Buy your wife lots of new shoes, and use the desiccant packs to dry out the evo. Then return the shoes to punnish her

So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]

I hear you man. i have one for work and am not a fan. it works perfectly with a corporate server and all that, but it's damn near worthless as a civilian phone.
I can relate. I have a curve that work gave me. A lot of my friends have BBM, so I end up typing on that and I HATE it. i don't bother correcting typos b/c there are way to many with my fingers hitting like 50 keys at once. Good to know about the new alarm thing. That was bugging me too.

I agree, not ideal for the casual usage, like the evo...they said 7-10 days, I'm hoping for 6.

They told me 7-10 days last Thursday. Consider yourself lucky to have the BB......I'm on a Samusung A940.
funny as blackberry os 6.0 is pretty awesome. i don't like blackberries much but my wife loves hers. she hates touchscreens. i even had to but her that new flip blackberry sprint has, she wanted nothing to do with an evo or android.
get my point, everybodies taste is different.

And yes, I know. As I said I hate the blackberry, not that blackberry sucks in general.

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]
Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.
Edit: Go Y2K post.

Throw a hybrid OS on it. Just download any BB OS, then go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion (RIM)...then extract the folder named "Java" and play around with the .cod modules.
I built hybrid OS's for years before I found Android.

Interesting...I may try that. Though I am only on this till I get me evo, and this is technically my sister's phone, so I may not, out of respect.
Sucks you got your evo stolen I returned my evo I got from sprint by using my upgrade the other day, waiting for the one I bought from Ebay now But in the meantime I am using a Blackberry curve, I hate this thing! For one its boring, the keypad is tiny, no angry birds, lol. I tried to make my wife take it, that only lasted on day though, lol. She calls it a blueberry and has been walking around the house saying "no evo no evo", now my kids have joined her! grrrrrr Hurry up mailman! I feel your pain
I have a 13 year old daughter, I offered to buy her the shift for an upgrade, she said shes just fine with her BB curve
