OK so I been a evo owner since it came our and like it a lot I do not use my ffc a lot so don't really care, but I probably get the evo 3d and sell this one, but my sister has a shift 4G aand wants to get rid of it so I was wondering if I should exchanged it because it came out later and if I sell it i probably get more money in summer, what you guys think? Right or wrong choice?

Honestly, though it may be newer, you may get the same price because the shift is newer, but less slightly lower specs than the evo.

True, but I still think you'd get roughly the same, cuz it too would sell as used.

Well you can ask around, that'd be your best bet.
they should yield the same resale price. im getting offers on my evo 4g for $250. im trying to decide between the shift or a new evo. only since i dont like sammy devices(no nexus) and really dont want to suffer with the evo 3d(hate 3d anyway) and its tiny 1730mah battery...AAHHHHHH really hate the cell phone game.
I originally had the Shift. I couldn't deal with the keyboard. Switched it out in under 24 hours.
Still undecided? Mm no idea if I should or no shift development don't look too good

I played with the shift for awhile..it made me appreciate my evolution. Didn't realize how much the small keyboard/screen killed the experience. Btw, thought the Epic keyboard was great (size/comfort) but it's a flawed device.

My roommate has a Shift, and while its snappy, as the roxx said, its a step down, in my opinion. Smaller screen, no ffc, no HDMI (we have full mirroring now...),no kickstand. I guess if you don't mind those things, and like a physical keyboard, the shift is nice. Also, as you noted, shift development has been a lot slower than the Evo. Aamikam is over there though. Also, when I rooted his Shift a couple months back, or whenever it was, there wasn't even a solid recovery, just a 1/2 working hacked version. Although I think clockwork works on it now. No amon RA though. But yea, its slower in the dev department over there, but not dead, by any means.

There's a couple options for ICS. SBrissen's CM9 build with SteadyHawkin's FB17 kernel is almost flawless, minus USB hosting.
Calkulin has a Touchwiz based ICS leak from Sprint/Samsung that works pretty much perfectly.
To the OP: Congrats man! You're gonna love the phone. You got here just in time for the serious development to pick up.
Congrats don't scratch it so you can sell it when the nexus comes out. Lol joking.....kinda

I just got an E4GT from a buddy last week. I miss the kick stand, but enjoying everything else. I wonder if it seems so much faster due to dual core or if the Xynos processor is just that much better than the Snapdragon.

So far GREAT phone, The "Hello Galaxy" is like Siri. Cool trick, not sure if I'll keep it though. Boot speeds, snappiness, damn near everything's looking good.
Thanks all for the regards. I was on a waiting list for 2 months to get my EVO 4G and would hate to send it out to pasture.
So what have all of you done with your old EVO's and other smart phones, now that its about that time for most upgrades? Keep it around for games etc? Miniature tablet for the coffee table? Just curious...
I have evo 4g and it has battery issues
also it has started hanging lately, not behaving well
I would like to have s2
I am eligible for upgrade but dont want to shell out 300$ for 2 phones

Sorry to hear that, are you Rooted? Once you have root check out this script, it helped my Evo4G tremendously. My Evo runs Miui ROM; But there is a script for Sense and AOSP:

I bought a few after market batteries from Amazon for my Evo, 1900mah and i've not had a problem at all with battery.
Hope that helps. What will you do with your EVO once you do upgrade?

Maybe this is just me venting but im so tired of people with an evo 3d talkin crap about the gs2. Me and my girlfriend both bought the 3d on launch day and it was ok at first but as soon as i saw the white epic we both dumped the evos. The galaxy screen is bigger and brighter. Way clearer. The battery last twice as long. The phone its self is faster with no lag at all. And to me the main difference is the camera. The camera is 100 times better then that ****ty evo camera. People defend the evo i think bc they have no upgrade but want the gs2 so they live in denial lol. The evo 3d cost as much as the original evo now (49$) and it hasnt even been a year yet. If you have a 3d do yourself a favor....sell it on craigslist then buy your self an epic off craigslist. Mite cost you 200 bucks when said in done. If not please come to grip with the fact the 3d is nowhere near as good as the gs2

No real point in upgrading to a sprint lte phone right now as there is no lte towers. You will be stuck with sprints slow 3g. Best to stick with the e4gt until the galaxy siii comes out.

You are right. However in my house I have no 4G except upstairs window. When home just keep wifi on and use my own internet. Even 3G and calls iffy in house. Without my Airwave my phone would be a brick most of time. Hope so called Network Vision improves coverage. I have no idea when lte is turned on if that will be any better than my current wimax 4g.

Have you played with both phones at the same time. Also are you bored with your phone? These are reasons to upgrade and of course do YOU think its worth it to you to upgrade. I have seen I love Gnex threads and I returned my Gnex threads, at the end of the day its really your preference. Go to Best Buy and check them all out... Jus' My Opinion

I made a thread about this the other day too because I have an upgrade so I went down to the sprint store and played with the Gnex and I dont know if there was something wrong with that one or what but it ran like ****! Force closes everywhere, could not get facial unlock to work. I just installed ICS Hydra rom on my E4GT and it runs SOOO much better than the Gnex. I also talked to a sprint employee and they said the E4GT is far superior. I wouldn't do it!

According to the Sprint site

[FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="red"][SIZE="5"]it seems this phone is no longer Epic.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]
What do you think about the change?
Does it matter?
Is that the end of the Epic line?
Will there be an Epic 3?!
:cyclops::cyclops:
Probably sprint distancing themselves considering the legal trouble in re: apple.
Official Sprint support for the OG Epic is going. They are not longer issueing updates for it (IE Official ICS/JB) she stopped at GB (2.3.6 I believe) I just recently left the OG Epic to the touch (got a good deal on it) So Galaxy's are still good to go.. not even worried about Legal issues.. they are still slinging the S2 and S3 so jump on one if you like... (S2 should still be getting a an update, but not 100% sure) Hope this helps clarifiy.
This is only my thoughts on this.. not an official statement by anyone important, just how i understand it to be coming from the OG Epic side of XDA and folks on there..
Are you implying that the form should be renamed to Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710?

In perfect condition however and most users will fall under either poor or fair condition which results in like 15 to 20$ not worth it if you ask me if your going to keep it. If I were to get atleast 50 then yeah. But what's stupid is the evo gets more money yet its even older than the epic

Find a phone ATM near you (google it), I'm sure the machine will give you more than sprint... but as others have said, I will never get rid of my epic, especially for less than $50... (unless it was donated to somebody less fortunate, or a dev)

The reason for that was simply the cost of the Epic $300 vs $200 (I did get a $100 rebate later), because I went to the store to buy an Evo, but the Epic had just arrived and when I saw the displays side by side, it was no contest. Epic was and stii is superior. That happens often though, the best gets beaten by lesser tech due to price (ala VHS vs Betamax)

Maybe true, but HTC has many loyal customers. I like HTC Sense a lot, and although the S3 certainly seems like a better phone software-wise, I am still more interested in the EVO LTE because I prefer Sense over TouchWiz. Also, the EVO LTE has a kickstand! I may be one of the few people who still actually use it.
HTC vs Samsung boils down to user preference.

Maybe true, but HTC has many loyal customers. I like HTC Sense a lot, and although the S3 certainly seems like a better phone software-wise, I am still more interested in the EVO LTE because I prefer Sense over TouchWiz. Also, the EVO LTE has a kickstand! I may be one of the few people who still actually use it.
HTC vs Samsung boils down to user preference.

You make a good point with the kickstand, cause I would love to have a kickstand on my phone.

There may be cases with kickstands like you said, but those aren't the same as having one built in. Especially to me, cause I don't like having a case on my phone. My friend had the Evo before his upgrade, and I would play with the kickstand all the time.

Lol! I know a way for you to get a kickstand then without a case!
Get an HTC Evo!

I wanted my friend to mail me his when he upgraded, but he sold it back to Sprint instead
Also I like Samsung phones too much to switch to an HTC
