Wow, the EVO doesn't have a physical keyboard? How did I miss that? Well, to be honest I guess I didn't read all that much about the EVO, but since so many HTC devices have one and no one I heard commenting about the EVO mentioned it until now, I assumed. Well, personally that will be one of the big determiners. I prefer physical over virtual by a lot. Ugh, just saw the Nexus One has the same thing. I guess the iPhone's hasn't been a huge impediment to its success, but using my wife's iPod Touch it just is hard to believe. Ah well, maybe it's just something I'll have to get used to and even Palm's new device will have the same thing. Too bad that this trend seems to be here to stay...
