My girlfriend has an EVO and man is that thing huge. I have pretty big hands (i can span a tenth on a piano and palm a basketball) and my first thought was that the EVO is uncomfortable for me to hold as a phone. I say as a phone because I realized that she uses it as a replacement for her Viliv S5 tablet (before that she had a Nokia N800). Most of the time she uses it in landscape mode as more of an internet tablet (video chat, browsing, texting), and she never holds it up to her ear (uses bluetooth instead). When you look at it that way, it's not so big after all.

FWIW, I still feel weird when I hold my Nexus up to my head to take a call. I don't think of it as a phone at all; it's a handheld computer that happens to be able to interface with the global legacy telephone system.
