Have you used an Evo?
I ordered my Evo last year on the day it released, and when a co-worker compared it to his new iPhone4 a few weeks ago, he was impressed. The Thunderbolt has a little more memory, a better camera, and maybe a few other improvements. But EVEN IF it was the same, hooking an Evo to LTE would still be big news. The Evo has been that good - even a year later.
