girlfriend has the Evo 4G. I lot a lot of features it has compared to my iPhone 3G. But it goes both way.

Overall, I think it's a great phone

I am in the same conundrum, both phones look awesome to me. I really need to upgrade, my current phone is the Palm Centro, great phone but I have had it for like 3+ years.

I heart my EVO. I just realized that a buddy of mine has an EPIC. I was playing with it this weekend. Didn't even know it was an EPIC til now, when I just googled it. It was smaller than the EVO. I liked how it had a keyboard, but thought my EVO had more/better apps, like the clock/weather combo. He was really jealous of that...

I use my Hero for as a modem on the road, and have been wanting to upgrade to a 4G phone. I'm just waiting for more areas to have the Sprint 4G coverage. LA for example. The EVO is nice, but I might go with Epic. The screen on the Epic, while slightly smaller is supposed to have better picture quality.

Neither.

Wait a few months until HP intros new hardware for WebOS2 (and I don't mean the Palm Pre 2, which is crap . . . I mean the new stuff which should be around end of first quarter '11).

(or, pray that Verizon doesn't lock up the iPhone on the CDMA side of things . . . although it looks like they're going to).

The main difference is that the epic has a keyboard, and the evo doesn't.

Seriously though, wait for an Android 2.3 device. Otherwise, get the Evo, because it at least has 2.2. I believe the epic is still waiting for 2.2, which could not happen til March (around the time the Evo might get 2.3)

Actually, my suggestion is ignore Kobiashi.

If you want a phone with a large dev community (ie more apps) stay as far away from WebOS as possible. If you want a phone that can do apps without the restrictions placed on it by one Steve Jobs get an Android device.

Wait until an Android 2.3 device comes out for Sprint, or switch to T-Mobile and get the Nexus S.
