Is the EVO Design 4g worth buying?

[Lexa]

I have a few questions about the HTC Evo Design 4g that I can't find answers to ANYWHERE.

1) Does it have Google Play? The phone I have now can't get google play, and it stinks, because I can't get Instagram.
2) Is the touchscreen easy to type on? I have small hands and fingers, will it be easy for me to hold. The phone I have now is the LG Ally, and it has a QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen, but the touchscreen is too small for ME and my little fingers to type on and hold.
3) Which is better: the LG Ally or the HTC Evo Design 4g?
4) Compared to the EVO, is it easier to hold? When I used my friend's EVO, once, I could barley stretch my fingers from the "l" button to the "a" button, and it was ANNOYING!
5) Does the front camera have better quality than the Samsung Transform? My mom has the Transform, and I took a picture on her phone with the front camera, and the quality was horrid!
6) Is this a phone worth buying?! And, I don't want to see "It has bad battery life!!" I KNOW! It's an android phone! All of them have a bad battery life!
