Been debating about for so long now that it is here I'm afraid to pull the trigger.

For me it's way tooo big for a phone ... but maybe useful for somebody who wants a pocket reader and doesn't want to carry the larger iPad. The Android OS is way cool but so are many apps on the iPad.

We have a iPad but I cannot carry that around everywhere. The 4.3 EVO is not big at all when compared to my old Samsung but this one I'm not too sure at 5 inches.

When they're available in 7" or 8" models my interest will perk up. At 5" it's not enough of a jump over an android phone. It's more of a big phone than a small tablet.

Too big for a phone and too small for great net surfing. When I want to go small, I use my Droid. When I want to go big, I use my iPad.

Well I signed up for it. It has a 21 day return policy so I can return it if it is just too big. It looks like the sim chip is the same as the phone I already have so when I want to carry a smaller phone I can just switch the sim card. at least that's the idea. Hopefully I will be able to tether it to my other devices too.

Oh for those interested there are already apps available to Bluetooth to the ALDL to android phones so you can check and erase check engine lights as well as a 0-60 and quarter mile times
