you wanna know what i think.... no. just like my gfs captivate its got a lot under the hood but as far as customization goes its lame. HTC phones always seem to have more devs working on them. thats unfortunate that you have so many problems i feel like its a solid phone havent had any problems. i tell you what i got a hero in great shape no dust or anything just send me your dusty evo first

I'm also curious....As much as I love my Evo, I cannot get used to not having a physical keyboard. I have used the stock one, and also used fresh and Cyanogenmod. I have the HTC_IME special keyboard and just can't get used to it. I have noticed that the gingerbread one seems to be a lot easier to type on....I just can't seem to find on how to download it along with installing it. But people who have the Samsung Epic 4G I'm curious what everyone thinks about it.

my girlfriend also has an epic its nothing special with the dev work going on there. If you get an epic expect to have a very stock experience and the gps is rather finkey on that phone

Please do!!!!!

I came frome an epic.
Shotty build quality
Gps rarely worked right
Has the physical keyboard but would miss letters all the time.(button was hit but it wouldn't register.
Screen is nice but not big enough for me.
Always alot of wobble from the screen and the keyboard.
I kept mine for 4 months. I loved the screen but the issues it had and a lack dev support compared to the evo made me switch.
Love the evo, im used to the onscreen keyboard and I like it alot better.
Choice is yours.

ROFLMAO! I read Sultan.of.swing's response, and I was like "damn, I don't remember responding in this thread". Then I realized it wasn't me. I was in exactly the same boat. Just traded my Epic for an Evo, and couldn't be happier. GPS never worked. Keyboard just felt janky, and made the phone feel so unstable and wobbly. I LOVED the screen on the Epic, but that was about it. Every time I hit the power key, it felt like it was gonna slip out of my hand or fall apart or something. And the fact that it STILL doesn't have official Froyo is just sad. I highly doubt I'll ever buy another Samsung phone. I've had so few problems with my two HTC phones (Nexus One and Evo), that they really made the Epic feel like a toy. That's the best description I can give of the Epic. Yeah, it may have better specs overall, but it seriously feels like a damn toy.

Epic or evo

Im asking this on the evo thread to so I can hear both sides. I have two days left before my 30 are up and I don't know if I should stick with the epic or jump ship. I do think it is a great phone but I don't want to be stuck with a forgotten phone like with me pre. And the gps is killing me

i came from evo about a month ago. i preffer the epic, becuase it has better hardware. the evo does have a slightly bigger screen that is very nice though. the evo also has more support in the dev community. but still epic wins in my opinion

It all comes down to personal preference.
Some pros for the Epic might be:
Hardware Keyboard.
Higher quality screen.
Better graphics processor.
(In summary, hardware)
Some pros for the Evo would be:
Larger screen (though less energy efficient)
Slightly thinner.
Better community support including great CyanogenMod support.
Or if you don't like CM, Sense is ok.
(In summary, software)

Epic can't compare to the EVO from a development standpoint. The EVO even has 4G available on Cyanogen now. I have an EVO, my wife just got an Epic, and my EVO has had 2.3 available since last year. If you're going to be rooting your device, IMO, it's EVO without question. FAR more ROMs, far more themes, far more love overall from the dev community. There are people right now working on a Honeycomb port for the EVO based on the 3.0 SDK. When do you think the Epic will EVER sniff something like that?
My wife got the Epic for the great camera features, the screen, and the hardware keyboard (she won't consider a phone without a real keyboard). I would gladly consider a Samsung device if they sold like the EVO did because then everyone would have one and you'd have devs all over the place like the EVO has.
Oh, and my wife also has navigation in her car, so that made the horrible GPS on the Epic a non-issue.

We are making progress on CM7, and WiMax should come very quickly to us, as our WiMax driver is now open source and in-kernel. EVO devs had to reverse engineer WiMax to get it working in CM.
As for the Honeycomb SDK ports. An SDK port is usually better known as an Emulator port. They're hackish and not very wise to use on your phone. Definitely a fun proof-of-concept though. I do however have confidence that once Honeycomb hits AOSP, it will be ported to Evo properly.

Yeah, GPS only worked for me on the earliest of eclair versions, it's been very frustrating.

The keyboard was why I went with the epic to begin with, but I only use it for gaming. I heard that game gripper is going to be making a bluetooth game pad so that's not a plus anymore. The main reason im thinking about switching is I don't want a phone that will never be updated. I am rooted with supernova's new rom which its amazing but there are still bugs that im not sure samsung will ever fix. I hate having to walk around my back yard trying to get a gps fix. Every other phone I've had locked within second from my living room.

Where did I say I was taking about epic developers. I was referring to xda. And stop being a fanboy. Both are great phones. Beyond the fact samsung can suck a fat one the hardware is better on the epic. The software I'll leave to the devs. However, with swype I don't need my physical keyboard anymore. My gps works flawlessly in my epic. The compass however is retarded no matter what fixes I employ.

If we would of had the source as long as the evo has had theirs for we wouldn't be so far.behind them. Stick with the epic to many evo fanboys out there.

Might want to follow Clearwire...looks like Sprint is jumping ship over to LTE in the near future.

I really enjoy my Epic; more so ocne I decided on a ROM (midNight).
I haven't had any issues with Nav or anything for that matter (uhg, I bet I just jinxed myself)
I am one that HAS to have a keyboard, BUT .. Swype is awesome. The larger screen makes using a virtual keyboard much easier that in the Instinct and Moment days. I swore after the Instict (which took 3-4 presses each time to get the right character, OMG that used to frustrate me.. I digress) i'd never use a virtual keyboard again. I'd say its 50/50 right now with me.
For me the hardware was a big seller and I wanted android without sense on it; now I just bought my daughter the Evo Shift 4G. Rooted it and ROMed it.
The rooting process was NOT as simple as samsung rooting has been with Moment and Epic. I had to push and run all the adb commands. Spoiled rotten is all <grin> course it is brand new and that phone feels REAL solid in your hand.
Anyhow, really goes to person preference. There are subtle differences but overall you can go wrong with any of the 4G devices.
Good luck; let us know what you picked and why.

I think I'm going to stay with the epic. Its just tough cause my last two phones were the palm pre and the instinct. Both phones were supposedly the best phones and ended up being the biggest pieces of crap. Now I do love webos and I know many of you do to but after 14 replacements in the year that I had the phone I couldn't deal with it anymore. If there was a way to put webos on this phone I would new in heaven
i do rom jump quite a bit but currently running supernova with the genocide kernel. midnight is is one of my favs and my heart goes out to him and his family. I read his lost and tired blog all the time. If I wasn't currently laid off I would be sending donations his way.
The main reason I'm staying with the epic is it has such a great community.
And the screen doesn't hurt either

Would you buy Epic Touch again now?

I just became eligible for an upgrade as a Sprint Premier Gold customer - my last one before the program ends in December. I have been thinking about buying an Epic 4G Touch for a while, and am wondering if those of you who got them early on are still happy with your purchase.
As far as I can tell, there is not any Sprint android phone on the horizon that looks any better, and I am not willing to wait until March to upgrade. Also, if it makes any difference I am coming from the OG Epic, which finally seems to be working well thanks to the GB update and the work of our great developers here at XDA.
So, any thoughts? Would you buy the E4GT again? Anything phones coming out soon that you would wait for? Thanks for any input...

If I could have a do over, I would wait until they fixed the LOS issue. Other than that, I love the phone and think it's the best option on Sprint currently (minus the LOS issue of course).

Without a doubt.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Results have varried, but the EG31 modem update fixed the LOS issue for me. Haven't had one since...

I bought mine on launch day, and still very happy with my purchase. I would definitely buy it again.

Considering Sprints 2011 line up, ET4g is the best phone available.

I did come from the original Epic 4G. I was a lil worried about not having the physical keyboard because I text a lot, but surprisingly it hasn't been a problem. I found that I was using the onscreen keyboard on my OG Epic a lot anyway, and with the added screen real estate, it only made it easier. I have adjusted quite well to all touchscreen.

Yes! Honestly, this phone never fails to amaze me. From how sharp and crisp the screen is, to the speed/raw power as the device as a whole, to the sexyness of the phone, even when the screen is off.
Remember, you will have 14 days to return/switch to another phone.

Its the best out now on any carrier besides the att variant.
The next phone that will be a major step up probably won't be out until next April/may at the earliest (on sprint at least). So go for it.
It will get the ice cream sandwich update so its future proof I'd say, I wouldn't wait on the nexus because by time that comes to sprint, if it does, it will be short lived like the nexus s on sprint (dual cores came to sprint a month later)

I would definatelly buy one again. It is sweet phone. No regrets here.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

The phone, as a device, is great. The phone, as a phone, sucks a big fat one. The antenna design and/or radio firmware is causing me to regret buying this device.
Not only is there a LoS issue as others have pointed out, but signal quality itself is atrocious. In general, CDMA is meant to be able to operate at very low signal quality. However, when this phone gets into low signal strength, it chops up my audio send/receive. Moreover, the data speed I get is crap. YMMV.
As I stated earlier, the phone, as a device, is great. It has a beautiful screen, the camera is pretty awesome, and it rarely slows down when using it regularly.

I agree with most of what fadeaway said. I wouldn't buy. Wait for a LTE handset to land unless you plan on buying another phone in 6 months. Here's what I posted on another thread:
I bought the ET4G on a whim after seeing it on Craigslist for an attractive price. After using it for a week, it's going back on Craigslist and I am using my OG Epic again w/ the new Gingerbread release (and physical keyboard fixes!).
While the ET4G certainly offers a snappier Android experience and a better camera than the OG Epic, I didn't find the boost in speed or extra screen real estate to be worth the $325 I paid for the device. I think the only speed boost worth writing home about was the speed of the ET4G's stock browser. Lastly, the audio quality of SGSII is inferior to SGSI and in all honesty not worthy of a high end smartphone - this was the deal breaker for me.
Considering that you already have the OG Epic, I'd wait until the middle of next year so you can get a killer future-proof 720p LTE phone at a fully discounted price. All that said, the ET4G is still a great device!

I just got mine last week, and LOVE it, running Calk's ROM + ICS theme and this phone just looks so cool, the screen is perfect for web page reading, and watching YouTube videos look amazing, and the WiFi signal for me is the best I have ever had, upstairs in bedrooms I still get good WiFi signal from the Basement office, no other phone held connection up on the 2nd floor. GPS is rock solid and locks on instant. Yes I have had two LOS's so far in one week, but no big deal, just restart the phone and it's gone, the phone restarts so fast. And that happened at my Mom's house, a very poor Sprint area, with no bars ever.
I am coming from the Nexus-S 4G which was feeling small to me, and before that my EVO 4G which I loved for a year. The Epic Touch 4G gives me that same wow factor I had when the EVO first came out last year. Oh yeah, the sound volume is great, very loud playing videos, where as my Nexus could barely be heard at full volume, and this is even louder than my EVO 4G, which was good.
There won't be a significantly better phone out until Summer, most likely the EVO-Three and Galaxy S3. And I can't wait till there is a solid stable Android 4.0 ICS ROM out for this phone, then holy cow, this thing will destroy anything for a long time.

Yeah, that is a great point. I think I am going to call Best Buy and see if they will match Amazon's $149 price for the phone. If so, I may get it tonight...

The hardware is excellent but the phone doesn't get much support, I would have waited if I was to do it all over again. HTC phones get lots of supports, which I would have waited for. I had the ppc6700, mogul, hero, and eve.

One last thing, I thought the EVO 4G when it first released last year was an amazing device, it just blew me away, the big screen, build quality, tons of custom ROM's, just an awesome smartphone for last year.
I feel the Epic Touch 4G, is the true successor and best next gen device for Sprint.

ehh
I think my biggest problem with the phone is that it feels so unpolished, in terms of all the little issues I keep running into it. Granted, LoS only happened to me after a root, but, it was an annoying issue for many other people. The GPS lock is just absolute crap, and the fact that apps keep crashing because of that sound glitch is just plain annoying. I couldn't even finish PvZ because of it...
Honestly, it feels like Sprint and Samsung were trying to sell this phone quick and leave it to dry while they were working on their other new offerings (iphone4s for Sprint, and the Galaxy Nexus for Samsung). Feels very half assed...
Given a second shot, I think I'd have to really reconsider...

I'm on the EG30 modem with ROOT+CWM5 applied. Stock ROM and kernel other then that.
I've only had LOS one time and that was when I was in a basement where there simply was no signal. No Sprint, nothing to roam to either.
When I came out of the basement and was back in an area I knew for a fact should have had full Sprint bars, my phone showed nothing. Said I had no service. I had to reboot to which fixed it.
First and only time.
I love my new Samsung Epic Touch 4G.
I'm not sure that it's really much better then my EVO 4G was either though. My EVO was tweaked VERY nicely and I was getting 30~35 hours of battery life on MikG ROM with a little SetCPU tweaking. I like the slim profile of the Epic Touch 4G though, sucker is THIN and seems to be better built then my EVO 4G.
That said, I really took a hard look at the Apple iPhone 4S when I was shopping.
I almost picked up the 4S simply because I work for a school system that is loaded with iPhones, iPads and Macbooks.
I'm pretty much the only person in my department (technology dept) that uses an Android. I sorta want to get in line with what the district runs. The ONLY reason didn't get the 4S was the size of the screen. If it would have been 4~4.5 inches, I would have gotten one. If the iPhone 5 has a bigger screen, I might consider that at upgrade time. Personally I think both series, Android and iOS have good things to offer.
Anyway, back to the original question yes I would buy the Epic Touch 4G again today.

thickness due to slide-out keyboard.. doubt it'll get thinner.
but then i wonder... are they going LTE with it.. since they claimed no more WiMax smartphones? And it's not part of the initial LTE lineup.. as that consists of Galaxy Nexus, LG mid-range device and Mifi-type device.
hmmmmm...

I'm not going to lie, I miss the original epic keyboard. I can't stand trying to type on a screen even with swype..

Why are you guys getting moist over this phone? Preliminary specs show a single core 1.2ghz Hummingbird CPU, 4"qhd screen...i tuned out after those two alone.
I remember when i had the og Epic, i hardly used the keyboard that much and always wished it was thinner. Holds no candle to the Epic Touch at all whether it includes LTE or not.
For the diehard og Epic groupies with their keyboard fetish , this must be heaven for them i guess.

I came to Sprint and got the Evo. Then soon traded for the Epic. I hated that ****ing keyboard. Slab phones ftw! Did anyone ever find a case that wouldn't scratch that phone? I previously had a Vibrant which was nice and thin. Ended up going back to the Evo. Sprint hit it dead on with the Epic Touch imo.

I thought keyboards disappeared in the days of Men wearing spandex and tight jeans....Oh wait, I think that is coming back : (

I miss my keyboard though. It's funny because the phone that made me fall in love with the keyboard was the HTC Tilt/TYTN. I loved that phone even though it was thick as all hell.
If they can somehow slim the design I'd switch if the specs were on par with what I have now.
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't just make a keyboard attachment that can snap onto their existing phones.

They can. They don't because they have far too many phones to make it for. I don't even have to look to know that the iPhone definitely has one of these available that is precisely what you are looking for and probably 10 others of varying degrees of suck. How many iphones does it fit? Probably all of them, definitely the last 2.
I'm not advocating for the iPhone at all. It's simply a dynamic of having just-once-device vs a world of other devices. I guess it's a physical and/or economic manifestation of the paradox of choice...one of the few places that less choice is beneficial...at least on paper.
Me? I'm all for options, even given this dynamic.

I have to chuckle at those who miss the Epic keyboard. It was the worst phone keyboard I've ever used. It's what forced me to learn to use touchscreen keyboards and finally prefer them. I can't imagine going back now, and especially to the Epic.

came across someone with one of these on their iphone few weeks ago. i have to say.. if youre all about physical keyboards.. its certainly an awesome option. the iphone was not much thicker than stock.. matched the phone completely.. connected via bluetooth of course.

Interesting, but I THINK that is a pic of the Conquer 4G. I have those exact headphones (Sony MDR-EX85) and I'll say that that handset in the pic isn't very big or thick (using the earbud as a size reference).
An updated Epic should be nice tho, I do sometimes miss the keyboard on my OG Epic. It was just too thick.

[Q] Any former Evo 3D users here?

I've noticed a lot of familiar faces around here, how many people here came from the Evo 3D? I used to think once the Evo got AOSP the phone would work better. I wish I had waited for this phone with my upgrade! I bought this on Ebay, I just couldn't take the lag anymore. It's such a night and day difference. Are you other folks satisfied with the switch?

Hell yes this phone is night and day better than evo3d.... There is no looking back from here

I was biased towards Samsung and was half expecting non stop problems and deal with the LOS and the soundpool bug for the next six months or more, and forget about ICS...maybe in 2014.
Samsung proved me wrong on all accounts.

Ya, I am glad I switched. I thought HTC was so cool. It was like thinking a Geo Storm was cool back in 1996. Ya, it ain't sh!t compared to my Audi turbo with panoramic sunroof. You would think the people at Sprint would have said, hey, don't buy the 3d. It is a POS. I looked at the photon but I couldn't get use to that pixel thing going on with the screen

I got the Evo 3D on launch day...in November, this phone came up for a penny on Amazon, and I had to go for it. When it came in, I was shocked at how much smoother and faster it was than the Evo.
I'm definitely glad that I made the switch.

Yes, sold my 3vo.

had the 3d sold it and now I am rocking this beauty!!

I love this phone I just wish it had a better build, I'm not a fan of Samsung plastic. Other than taht it blows the 3d out the water. I still have my 3d because I gave it my sister but still love flashing Roms on it :b.

I liked my 3d. I just like this phone more. Coming from an og evo, I was bummed with the slightly smaller screen, weaker speaker and camera.

Gps seems better on 3vo but that is it. Literally. This thing could run the entire evo in a widget.

Is Samsung known for less than spectacular gps? My last Samsung was a Moment and the GPS was horrible.

While my ET is in repair (unbricking service), I'm running Evo3D. It's just not as snappy as ET. There are some inexplicable lags.
