who's going to be ditching their epic for a nexus s?
I will. Not because the epic is a bad phone. But the nexus s whill have much more support and receive updates faster most likely. And the pure google experience is a def factor
Not me, just hope that we can use some of google updates it gets on our epics
To me its like a downgrade, yes its pure google, but i like my epic hardware i have bragging rights over a lot of my friends which have any other variant of galaxy s phone
Will be cool tho if we can port some stuff over like latest versions of android and 4g support easier for cm7, and other good stuff.
Also dual core phones will be out soon, and it will be outdated..
i will be changed my mind after i talked to my homies in the irc made me realize how sweet it would be...
CM7 on day one ???
Yea ill take that....
I'm seriously considering it because i've always just tolerated but never really wanted a slider phone.
i've always wanted the slate experience.
Not me; I'll stick with my two-year plan for now. I'm sure there will be better phones by end of next year anyway, even if the Nexus S is a great phone.
I'll be switching to a thunderbolt this week. I watched my friend hit over 12mb/second download while I was under 1/2mb/sec...
No thanks, lol.

epic has gingerbread (CM7). i think that if we give it time, epic users will see some bad ass roms being developed. and who knows, since the nexus and epic share the same specs, porting could be kinda easy (im assuming. idk, im not a developer).

Well I already have an EVO and sprint is sending me another one in a few days once I order it tomorrow. I really do love sense but I have heard a lot of bad about the 3d. Like overheating, freezing, bad funny speakers and reception Nd WiFi issues. Now I'm usually always on WiFi and use bt. So Idk what will happen also I have literally no bars so reception might be even worse for me.

This is for those who care. The Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus is safe to flash on Sprint! Don't know good it would work because of the 4G sim card it uses.

If this is true, I'm going to make it happen, ASAP.
Since it's not, and "Megan" from Sprint is obviously either just new, or a complete idiot, I'm gonna stick with my ET4G and be happy, and use my wife's Gnex work phone whenever she's not looking.

I played around with my friends new Nexus yesterday and I was not impressed, the graphics performance was horrible and the device felt laggy.

Definitely not possible. In order to provision a phone on Sprint you either:
Need to have the ESN/MEID in the Sprint system, and only certain Sprint personnel can do this, or
Illegal activity of which XDA does not approve.
Long and short of it - Sprint reps are never to be trusted on these things. They only know what is in a script -and when they can't find it they say whatever they can to make you happy.
surprised this thread made it even this far
Sprint US s3's in hands, 1st thoughts, likes, dislikes, pics, quadrants, LTE rollouts, favorite roms, kernels, display issues, signal strength, root process, etc...
Edit, I'm a Sammy rook/noob, I've seen only one dev I know that's getting this (Myn) super dev, by the way and would also like to know some of your favs as I know nothing of Sammy devs and why are they your favs... Thanx...

Do you guys think it is worth buy a used epic touch and getting rid of my nexus s I'm told the epic touch isn't much better than a nexus s? I was also told its a pain to flash but could it be more than a pain than the epic 4g i used to have? Please your thoughts.

Ok its better than nexus.
Flashing is as easy as it can be if you follow word to word instructions and make sure you are on a safe kernel.
I would not trade my e4gt for any older phone. So.. I would get it. Its your decision in the end.

That's what I was thinking and to be honest my wifes rooted stock epic 4g with tw is markedly faster than my aosp nexus s do t know what the beef is with two thanks for the affirmation dude

The epic touch is a damn good phone. I never had the Nexus S so I can't compare it but I will say I'm very happy with it. Its easy to flash and work with and gets decent battery life.

It's a better phone than the s but it's a hard time to recommend buying another phone. I don't think it's enough of an upgrade that I wouldn't wait a few months to see what's dropping for the holidays. What specifically aren't you happy about on the s?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
That I have to agree with. The new nexus will be dropping before long. Might want to wait and see what it is and such before using your upgrade.

I recommend the Epic 4G Touch. It's not 720p like some newer phones but the SAMOLED+ is amazing.
It's super snappy, plenty of RAM, enough built in memory, awesome camera.
IMO it is the iPhone killer.

Epic 4g Touch is a great phone. My only gripes are that resolution could be a little larger for how big the screen is and the radio could be a little stronger (but part of that's sprints issues). I guess no lte either but that won't be available for a while anyways. But other than that its an awesome, correct me if I am wrong but I think it was the best phone on the market for a while. It may not be as fast as the latest and greatest phones but its good enough for me.
