first off i have an evo shift 4g, running cm7.
i had a nexus s 4g for a week before i decided i didnt like it and went back to the evo shift.my main issue was non removable storage.
now my interest is in the sgs2.
ive never used the touch wiz ui. but i do prefer vanilla android.
id be buying the phone out of contract for 350 new.
whats the consensus should i buy it?
Not gonna find better on Sprint at this time...period.

Just came from an Epic 4G... this is best phone Ive owned so far and the CM Team just received it, so they might work on a CM7 port.
Paid retail price coming from the 3d. Worth every penny of $499.99. Yeah I sold the 3d for 275, but still its worth every penny

I called the number in the Cl ad. A super ghetto chick answered and said she still had the phone nib available. I asked if she'd sell it for 300, and she said yeah "easy "
Makes me wonder how legit this is.....

Good Luck
(Might be fun to see what the community comes up with to rename the phone to something more fitting. Then send the link to the Sprint higher ups.)
Before I state this, I will say I do like the phone quite a bit, but not as much as my OG EVO.

Word. If anyone ever asks what my phone is, that's exactly what I tell them. The Sprint marketing machine is loaded to the brim with fail.
I think its funny when people say "Is that one of them iphones"
I see/meet a huge variety of people in my job.
This thread reminds me of the Evo 3D being named "3VO" and about half of the members hating the name once the device started getting some development/attention, lol.
I just say Galaxy S2, and on this forum I say ET or Et4g

This
There is a reason this phone has the longest name ever, Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint Epic 4g Touch. Carriers want to re-brand the phone and make it "theirs" (here in the US of A anyway) however, Samsung isn't stupid, they knew what kind of reputation they built around the name "Samsung Galaxy S2," I mean hell I've seen more SGS2 TV commercials recently than I think I've ever seen for a smartphone. Samsung wasn't about to let them take that name away, but they let Sprint slap some crap on the end knowing which name would stick. What does it say on the back of our phones? Galaxy S II, I don't see the word Epic anywhere on here. Now I do think we have one of the better SGS2s, considering screen size and processor, but I don't need the words "Sprint Epic 4G Touch" to distinguish those things.
The "Samsung LoS" sounds about right or maybe the "Samsung Receptionless"
Sent from my SSGSIIE4GTuvwxyz!.....Should I touch my nose or walk a straight line now?
That 'sent from' signature is tooooo funny!! Lol
I just want an honest answer from an Epic Touch owner. Is it worth upgrading from an original Epic 4G? Im asking bc ive had my Epic for over a year (never even had to have it replaced!). Id hate to get the Epic Touch only to hate my decision down the road...

Ummm Samsung already renamed us to the Galaxy SIII. If you have doubts watch how quick we get phased out. Don't expect any inventory piles our parts will be in the S III

This isn't related to the Epic as much as it is to Sprint. I might have mentioned my mom works at Sprint. I live in Kansas City. A lot of people here work for Sprint. But, one of my best friends just got an awesome job there. Product Development and Testing. You all know what that means.
More idiotic rumors?

slightly more informed speculation?
He said he would get a new phone every 4-8 weeks. It just means sometimes I might be able to help people decide if they should wait to use their update.
LOL, it's a Family Affair.... seriously tho congrats and keep the info coming
Thanks, and just remember, it wasn't a Dev that got the leaked LOS fix, it was someone like yourself helping out the community any way the can. If your friend wants to donate the old ones.....

That's what I do.
I get people to join sprint, they get my used phone or buy buy it cheap, and I get the latest for the reduced price and what ever I sold my last phone for. Everybody wins here in this case. Although I did buy my EVO 4g full price with a credit card, I can't justify spending 500+ on a phone ill only use for 3 to 6 months.
I live out in independence. I got a buddy who works at sprint but hes tech support. Nice to see some locals on here

I recently changed wireless providers and I am currently on AT&T now. I got the Galaxy S II for AT&T and I'm liking it so far. I would just like to thank all the developers for their hard work and the community with all that they have helped with. Also anyone that has every answered a question that I have asked, I really appreciate it. Its been good. Take Care.

I thought both Note and Skyrocket were based on snapdragon chipsets, not Exynos. In other words, Epic Touch is still the best phone in the US.

Exactly. And because Epic Touch has a larger screen, 4G and notification led, it's the best version of GS2 or any other android phone in the us.
He'd probably have to import an international Note just to make up for swapping out the Epic Touch. And that still may not be an upgrade if one cared about 4G (which I really don't, so it would be for me).
Congrats. You just downgraded your service provider and downgraded you device. AT&Ampt is the worst possible carrier and you no longer has the exynos chipset. If i was you i would do an about face. Return your AT&Ampt device. And NEVER EVER look back. Also i hope you enjoy getting limited to 2GB of Data thru AT&Ampt. And getting charged more for less minutes. Enjoy. Lulz.

oh i thought it was just a lame attempt at some home-brew insult acronym.
I was just wondering, where do the names for our phones come from? For instance our phone is called a galaxy s2 at sprint. But its also referred to as the epic 4g touch and also the sphd710 or whatever. My wife had the galaxy 1 on T-Mobile but it was also called the Samsung vibrant. Now she has a galaxy s3 but she came with with me to sprint. I don't know where to find the name of it on the forums though. Is it the gs3 international? Is there a website that has all of the phones listed with all of their names on it?
