Question: is your battery life good enough to stream all day? I think the iPhone would make (barely) an eight-hour day of constant streaming, but the 10 1/2 or 11 I work would be beyond it, without quick charges at lunch and breaks.
I plan to get a charging cradle for use in the car on roadtrips.
They are all just tools, pick the one that works for you. I don't even plug in my evo, I just use stream RP on it, or if I want something from my collection, I stream it from my 20GB of free space on Amazon.

I've had my 4G for two or three months now and have been completely happy with it. I did consider a Droid phone (before the Verizon iPhone—we had no AT&T service here until, like, yesterday) and might have gone that way except, as is mentioned below, I was tired of hauling around a phone AND an iPod. And yes, I know my music could be put on a Droid phone . . . but not by plugging it into the computer and, oh, waiting about a minute. Period. The oft-maligned "closed" nature of the Apple universe is why it works like that, and it's while the also-mentioned-below "market share" question doesn't matter to me. To my way of thinking (to my way of using the devices), they simply work better, and whether I'm using the most popular smart phone on the planet or whether I"m the very odd duck I was with computers through the Apple dark years has little bearing on my choice.

We got our iPhone 3G's almost a year ago now and have been completely happy with them. It would be nice to have more carrier options, and that's coming - slowly. But the device itself is a simple, elegant gizmo that provides an awful lot of service and functions in my pocket.

I briefly flirted with being that guy on the right... for awhile I was in a non-ATT zone. When I got into one, we did some hard research. The Epic really is a better product. The Evo is great, but the Epic has the edge at the moment. I was talking to the service dudes a few weeks ago and made an offhand comment that my phone was probably out of date now anyways, but I liked it and wanted to keep it. The geek told me, "No, this is still pretty much THE phone. Nobody has surpassed it... yet."
I'll keep running music on my Touch until it dies and then make a decision whether to stay with Apple for that or just buy the larger memory card and go 100% to the Epic. I think the battery suck would be challenge, *but* having only one device would be cool. Of course, I haven't tested the theory, so maybe the battery suck just isn't an issue, simply my own paranoia.

I recently had the choice to pick up any android phone in the Sprint universe. My Epic needed service and they decided to "scrap" it instead of repair it. BDH researched it and we went with the Epic again.

that depends on what you want to do with the barcode information. some apps will read the code and give you a list of local stores with the best prices. some apps will add the product info in your diet journal. lots of apps use a barcode reader.
