I went to a Sprint Store today and they transferred my 598 contacts and all of their numbers to my new Evo 4G in minutes. Like Dave I also purchased a black Body Glove case. The extra thickness & sturdiness actually feels good in the hand and also protects the camera lens simultaneously. I dropped down to the Everything Data 450 plan for $69/month so even with the $10 extra plus $4 or so for some kind of service plan, my cell bill will be about $83 plus taxes,which is cheaper than it was before and much cheaper than other carriers. Also with Sprint the unlimited data plan really is unlimited unlike ATt&T. There are some tricks to improve battery life including temporarilly turning off un-used services like 4G if not available in youir area yet as well as Bluetooth & WiFI if you are not using them. You can toggle those on and off from a widget on the home screen. Advanced Task Killer is an app some poeople recommend as well to turn off un-used background tasks and improve battery life. I recharge every night and I will also bring or have an extra charger to plug into AC or laptop USB even on remote sets if my battery goes low durning the afternoon from heavy use. I haven't played with the still or video camera yet (720p handheld Ex-GF video content coming soon!). Next I am most interested to see if I can tether my laptop using only a free app PDAnet that I have been reading about. Even at only 3G, if I can check my email and get online anywhere I have a basic 3G signal then I will be very happy with my purchase indeed!
