For some reason I hate the Epic name attached to it. I know its Sprints way of putting there label on it but it sucks IMO. Before it came out and I would go to the Shack or Bestbuy to ask if they would have it they would say either what?..or yes its right here and lead me to the Epic 4G. Excuse me if this has been posted before or your offended...I have been at a birthday party and I have Vodka in me...SGII!!!

I was so excited about the hardware and how much Samsung has changed (especially the circumstances of the development of this hardware/software versus the original) that I didn't even think about it...
...but when someone asks me what my new phone is I just flip the back to them and tell them "Galaxy s2", not like saying "Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S-II Epic Touch 4G" would mean any more to them.

Agreed. Granted this phone is actually rather epic in nature. The last Epic didn't seem so, well epic... This one is epic out of the box and we've got an exciting development community already that I'm sure will be epic, for various reasons.
That said, I've got my dongle jig on the way, priority shipping....which costs nearly 4 times more than the jig, lol...

I guess I may have to invest in this. The only Sprint Samsung phone I have had was the Nexus and I really liked the phone. Camera was good..fast and actually for SD quality video it was very good. Never had a problem with it.

Well with Verizon they had to pay Lucas to use that name, so I'd milk it for every penny too if I were Verizon. Also I understand the concept of brand recognition by keeping "Epic", but still Epic 4g Touch is a horrible name.
I either call mine Galaxy S2 (since as others have pointed out its freaking emblazened on the back), or "Enterprise D" as its a huge Galaxy-class that looks surprising thin from the side.
What the hell is wrong with people, who cares. This is the only phone that has like twenty thousand names, you can literally call it so many things and pple know what you're talking about. You can use it's absolutely full name and called it, Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Touch, call it the Galaxy S II, call it the ET4G, call it the hottest phone in the motherfuckin world right now abbriviated to hpmfwrn. I call it GS II or ET4G. What is important tho is the only case in the world where the Exynos processor meets a 4.52 inch screen. The only instance in the world where that happens. The ET4G is pure perfection. Call it pure perfection if you want.
I've read all these posts, and I must say that the obvious answer is calling it this:
The 3VO.

Why does the Epic test 'significantly faster data speeds than the Evo'? Can't see any featured that would account for that.

Well, it has a keyboard, some people like the slightly smaller size, it has a keyboard and supports Bluetooth 3.0. If these are important to you, you're likely to think it better than the Evo.

i think you read it wrong:
"Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S sports numerous advantages over its T-Mobile “Vibrant” brethren. First, it adds support for Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network, which has already spread across numerous urban areas in the U.S. In testing with HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s next-gen network showcased significantly higher data transfer speeds (especially useful while tethering) and the ability to simultaneously make voice calls while transmitting data (not possible using Sprint’s traditional 3G CDMA)."
I believe its saying that testing done on the Evo 4g's 4g network shows significantly higher data transfer speeds than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which the author assumes will be the case on the Epic as well).
poor word choice by the author, but thats his intent. not saying Epic's 4g is faster than Evo's.
Ah... I think your right.... my bad.
The Epic just isn't sexy enough for me. It looks so cheap and old. The EVO is beautiful.
Completely agree.
Gorgeous hardware.
Along with the Iphone its easily the best looking smartphone on earth right now.....although. Ill take the Evo...most out pundits go with the Iphone in the aesthetic dept.
Not really a review as much as breathless fanboy anticipation. For all the vaunted prowess of the Hummingbird processor, all of the Galaxy S phones routinely display lagginess not usually seen on the Evo and the battery life claims as way overstated -- most reviews of the Vibrant and Captivate peg the battery life on par with the Evo and nowhere near double.
I don't think it looks cheap. I just thinks it's too round, I like the Evo's over all shape alot better.

Same. It's definitely not an "ugly" phone exactly... But it definitely doesn't scream "high end" like the EVO, iPhone 4 or the other Galaxy S devices. The keyboard could have something to do with it as well as the roundess. Honestly, I think the best looking Galaxy S device so far is the Captivate. I love the hard edges with the curved top/bottom. It looks very elegant and original and less like an iPhone knockoff like the Vibrant and the regular Galaxy S.
Its Samsung.. like the old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
I had a Moment. That was my one and only Samsung phone. Even if the Epic handed out BJs, I wouldnt buy one.

The good thing is that the GSII has been out for a few months, and has plenty of development. I wonder if the base stock ROM is similar.

I think I saw about the same, 3-5 commercials during games...and like 3-5 dozen J-Lo Fiat commercials. But I digress.
I think they're not over advertising because supplies/distribution are really low right now. I know the Sprint store we got our phones from only had 14 in-store on Friday (they had 5 on Tuesday when I reserved 2, and then got another 9 in Friday morning), and were down to 3 when my wife and I picked ours up 2-hours before close. The Best Buy across the parking lot only got in 2 for Friday, and no accessories at all.
I really suspect that they are probably saving some revenue for a big push with the new iphone. I love my epic touch but I think the the new Iphone will be the perfect phone for my girl. Way off topic though. I agree OP I am in love with this phone too. My day off today my girl went out and I stayed home all day messing with my new toy.
I'm headover heels in love too!....(cept...I'll probably betray her when Nexus Prime is onveiled...shhhh)

thickness due to slide-out keyboard.. doubt it'll get thinner.

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 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.

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.
I am coming to Sprint (and locked into the network) from a Verizon Droid Incredible. I loved the phone and I am sad to see it go, but Verizon doesn't do well in my new location. Sprint is the best and I am torn. The area also does not have 4g.
My entire family has gone with the 4s but I am on the fence. I love the openness of Android. I have an old Ipod touch 2g that has been used just for music since I got the Dinc.

E4GT is an amazing phone period even with it being a bit older then the 4S. Honestly if you do love Android (as you have one already) You will love the E4GT

I had this phone and decided I wanted to try the 4s. The 4s was a great phone but in the end I missed Android so much and I really missed the screen size of the Epic Touch so I went back to the Epic Touch. If you really love Android and your on Sprint the Epic Touch is hands down the best phone Sprint has to offer at the moment.

Actually While I do love my android phones I don't have an issue telling someone they will like the iPhone more for what they are going to use it for. It's pretty simple if you like another phone use it if not stick with what you know. As it is there is a 14 day "period" of time he can use/try the iPhone 4S and if he does not like it return it and get the E4GT. Either way it's really up to him.

Samsung will not even talk about the SG3 period all anyone knows is "summer" and that's about it. And honestly that's not even saying much I will say this however even though the GS3 will have better specs then the GS2 the GS2 regardless is still a beast of a phone. Out of the box it stands against pretty much every single phone released right now including the GNexus. Like I've said in another post you do have a 14 day window you can test a phone out. Give both the iPhone and the GS2 a go and see which one YOU like more.

I am still really torn. My mom got the iphone on my recommendation for its simplicity/intuitive UI. She isn't a power user. My dad got it because he needed a mac for his work education and really liked the iCloud. Is there any inkling on when the galaxy S3 will go on sale?

I find nothing appealing about the iPhone at all. My GF has a 4s, and I honestly cannot stand it. There's no way I could ever go from *any* android phone to an iPhone. Just looking at the iPhone 4s screen after using my E4GT makes it look like a pile of barf. Yeah, it has really high pixel density, but who cares when the screen is so small that your thumb can cover 6 buttons at once.
Have the epic touch 4g was just wondering is it a big g difference in between the phones... If so wjat are they and what are your favorite features of the s3

Well, yes there is a big difference, one being no disgusting physical keyboard. Though if you need a features list of the phone, google can help you there. Though if on touch wiz, I personally like the smart stay feature, and the overall size and feel of the phone.

Just a FYI there is no keyboard on the touch hence the name touch. The OG is just a Epic 4G which I just came from.

Meh, now I'm confused, because I have a different device in mind. Glad they're going away from 'that' name set, because its just garbage.
Duh, the GSII...he should have just said that. But yea..
