yep we need one soon, or the og epic forum is gonna be drowned with jealousy, after they see all our epic touch posts.
edit: oops look like they made one.....Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
We have had one .... since yesterday i believe before this thread was made
Indeed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
Title says it all. I'm up for upgrade as of right now and I think it's about time to move to a different device.
What do you suggest?
The 2 best looking phones there IMO is the evolution 3d and the epic touch the evo design my cousin and her boyfriend have and they have lot of problems. But if I had to pick I would wait a little longer because the galaxy nexus is coming to sprint if you look on their main page

If it had to be a now thing.. can't go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S ll, Epic 4G Touch. However... I am in the same boat (new phone time!), but I am waiting to see what they announce this quarter and the future of LTE.
Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio are slated to be the first to go LTE, so if you are in those areas it might behoove you to see what comes out. Right now the Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper are upcoming LTE phones.
I'm leaning toward the Epic 4G Touch as LTE means nothing to me. My area doesn't even have WiMAX (now it never will). And from what I read, the E4GT will get official ICS Q1 2012 anyway. That right there pretty much evens the playing field between the two phones.
Still interested in hearing your opinions though.
Levels the playing field?
What about the fact that Gnex is pure Google without the ugly Twiz UI? And will get regular updates thru Google ?

Is that "feature" alone enough to justify a probable $100 price premium for the Gnex vs E4GT? For me, it's not.
I say if your not worried about lye e4gt is the way to go or u can join the apple fanboys and get a 4s lol

Et4g over 3vo any day of the week and photon is a big disappointment had all 3 in my house et4g was the winner still have that crappy photon too lol it sux with its funky bootloader and borking stuff to unlock it the 3vo was a launch day and had crummy radios in it so it got traded for the photon which is a better all around phone than the 3vo just isn't great for flashaholics

Epic touch 4G for sure

wait for lte phone.
I've had so much success with the eVo og that I'd have to go with the eVo 3d.....
Galaxy S2 at the moment, although that new Nexus is coming.....
I've heard nothing but good things about the epic touch but I'm personally trying to hold out for the nexus
Epic 4G Touch has me scared now. All I read about the phone is poor signal and useless GPS. I'm not able to find any recent threads that confirm if this stuff has been fixed or not though. Can anyone help out? Maybe first-hand experience??
Wait for the Galaxy Nexus phone

I might have to do that. It'll be more than $199 for sure, but hopefully it won't be a hunk of garbage like it sounds like the Epic 4G Touch is.
I moved to the photon. Only phone that has a kickstand now. And reception...I hazzzz it!
My only complaint is pentile display but its no biggie any more.
Rom dev is kinda slow but all quality stuff.
After my experience with a nexus s 4g I am gonna skip sanding as they seem to be having the same issues with the cdma radios on the big V
Good luck either way.

Doesn't anyone think the note is just way too big to be taking seriously.
And clearly the chick has no idea what she is doing. Give her the note and she still wouldn't know how to do it. Even I can't do it.

You're right this is obviously staged. But it doesn't negate the fact that having an "s pen" helps with the tasks demonstrated.
I think the note is too large as well. 4.7 is as big as I would go.

I'm an E4GT user and even I think this is ridiculous marketing. Anyone who watches this and actually believes it is naive and weak minded.

i think i am the NUMBER ONE fan of the galaxy note, and am willing to buy one outright when it comes to sprint. but the tasks he performed were not really s pen exclusive. sure, they wouldnt WORK without the s pen, but only because thats the way it was programmed... i have yet to see the s pen do things that fingers cant... like maybe using the button on it to enable one handed ''pinch to zoom'' or other gestures while pressed? doesnt mean i dont love it more than my family

There's all kinds of Samsung bashing in the comments lol, but this one was one of the few that actually explained how the iPhone is superior. I guess he missed the fact these features come stock.

and the fact that just because he can download apps, doesnt make the iphone better. SURELY he has heard that we match ios in apps, and BEAT them in free content? if his head is THAT far up Apples ass that he doesnt think anyone has an 'AppStore', he will have a rough life
I would like to know if is worth to upgrade to thr gnex. Thanks

No. Already has inferior hardware. Go with the Evo Lte if you have to upgrade now.

Not an HTC fan. Plus is an ugly phone ..lol. I'll wait for the gs3 then

Well I played with the one x at att and must say it's better looking. The screen is amazing though. Our GS3 will probably have the s4 also though.

If the sprint version had the same design as the one x j would consider it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It's got some nice additions, ie sdcard slot, kickstand, and larger battery, but it's definitely not as sexy.
sent from my Epic Touch
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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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
or you could just search one of the other 40 threads about the exact same thing!

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!

Howdy!! I'm Soap, and owner of the amazing og Epic 4g running 4.1.1. I was on Sprint site hoping for a pre-order for the Note 2 when I saw this:
Code:
According to the Sprint site
[ATTACH]1343850[/ATTACH]
[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?

Yep. lol.. :silly:
I was responding to EOL on device... for some reason i thought pic was actually of the S2 (oddly i didn't look at mine sitting next to me! lol) been a long day at work.
Sprint is done with "EPIC" as samsung will not make carrier specific modifications as in EPIC and EPIC 4G TOUCH. Galaxy SIII is just Galaxy SIII.

Yeah it's a shame about the EOL, but I'm actually surprised the Hero is still on the page. More bummed out than surprised I suppose, I went threw 9.5 Samsung Moments. I gutted 2 & zombied them together.

Agreed! This is only the 2nd Epic I've needed, I drowned the first one. I'm using my upgrade to get my wife the Note 2 & keeping both our OG Epic's as wifi devices. Maybe then I'll finally sell back the only working Moments I ever owned!

Nice, I found my Epic Touch (S2) for $50 on Craigslist... Loving it.. I'm going to upgrade to the S3 later this year/early next year probaly, but wanted to mess with something different for now. Mom took the OG Epic inplace of her Photon. lol.. I'll prolly sell back this thing when i upgrade. It'll eat some of the cost.
So any idea if there will be another hwkb device? Or is it touch screen from now on? I remember something on the CM9 blogspot about the masses calling for another device with a full layout.

I agree with you. I was a little skeptical at first about going to a phone with out a keyboard, because all my previous ones had a keyboard. I actually like it a lot better, don't get me wrong though I do miss it sometimes lol
I just see friends (with out swype) struggling to enter text as I just smash words at about 45 WPM!! I don't think I could be happy without all my extra working parts
I thought i wouldnt be. But honestly, keyboard on the touch wih the larger screen isnt that bad.
