You do understand that even with your TP running Froyo that older Qualcomm CPU is not up to task.
Even when I put 2.2 on my Mytouch3g it ran slower.
Now Samsung has people pulling their hair out with the slowness of software fixes for the Galaxy S line of phones.
oh yea, but I am running the TP2 on 2.2 @ 822MHz .. so its quicker then the WM6 at 533Mhz
Also notice that the Epic is only SLIGHTLY thicker than the EVO and has the keyboard, if thats something you want.
I really like mine and the keyboard is MUCH better than my older one and I use it all the time.
Well I've had the Mogul, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 .. so yeap gotta love that KB
Still thinking about picking up the EPIC... hmmm

Either way Epic or Evo you won't regret it.
Either way EVO or epic you won't regret it. the epic was tempting but i couldn't say no to the evo. incredible phone......
Move to Houston from Ohio 6 years ago and STILL hate the Summer heat! Winters are sure nice though.

I haven't had a phone without a keyboard since 2001 or so...the first RIM pager on the Motient network (before they were called Blackberries)
But in smartphones for my personal use I took the same path as you, Mogul, TP1, TP2... I played with the Epic and Evo in the store for about 15 min each. I found the Epic to be more responsive, better screen, and also the keyboard. So it was an easy choice for me. I've tried and tried to use Swype since I've had the Epic, but it's just a big no go. It's cute...but that's about it...non functional for me. After using keyboards on phones for 9 yrs I can't go back.

Ya, I'm usually down there sometime in Feb/March for a bit.
Except I go all the way down, Brownsville, Port Isabel area.
I also can't get the hang of Swype although my friend uses here's all the time, without the swype she would have got the Epic, but didn't want to wait till it came out.
Two things I miss about my Mogul now that I have an EVO...
1. Surprisingly, I haven't missed the pull-out keyboard...but I sure do miss that thumb-wheel on the left side of the phone. It was just so nice to scroll up-and-down using the thumb-wheel while keeping just one hand securely wrapped around the phone.
2. Only one way to turn-on the phone. With the Mogul I could gently wiggle the keyboard forward and the phone would turn on instead of fumbling for power button.
Oh well, that's it...the other 9998 advantages go to the EVO.

I work in the DC area more than half of my time and I can assure you the map you posted is not "real world" accurate. For example, I'll be driving up I-95 and I'll get perfect 4G reception in Springfield. I drive two miles north and I drop back into 3G for a mile or more. Likewise, the coverage will be in-and-out depending on my travels, and I will often be in 3G from the Pentagon west toward the Ballston (Arlington) area. According to Sprint my office address in Arlington does not have 4G coverage. Here is Sprint's 4G coverage map taken directly from their website. They don't even show 4G available in the area...just Richmond and Baltimore.
Don't know why you are having 4G coverage issues.
To be honest, I'm extremely happy with Sprint's 3G coverage and happy with their current 4G coverage in the area right now...but it is far from being fully-deployed and has more holes than a block of swiss cheese. I am sure their coverage will only continue to improve.

OK.. caz them custom roms allow Hotspot share as in the factory one is not active unless u call sprint for a fee
That maps is Clear's 4G coverage. There isn't any difference since it's the same network.
Sprint coverage map is out of whack. It still shows parts of Richmond not covered that are. There are people in the Sprint users forum that have been using 4G overdrives and EVO's all around NoVA to Dulles. Most say it's spotty and full of holes.
I went to visit a friend in Baltimore and got decent service all the way up to Bmore.
