Let me know what you think and if you'd get this device!
I hope the image from PocketNow is old and the phone won't be that thick...
It looks almost thicker than the original Epic...
I don't think I would get it, unless it blows the Epic Touch out of the water...
Yeah its already loaded into the cellebrite as the sph-d705 Epic 2
No news about it on the indirect Sprint site though ...
I keep getting page not found when I click the link.

It noticed that the other day, wondered what the hell that was all about...I was gonna post that here but completely forgot about it. Also, the model number starting with sph would almost guarantee its a sprint phone, regardless of the cellebrite having all carriers' phones.

thickness due to slide-out keyboard.. doubt it'll get thinner.
but then i wonder... are they going LTE with it.. since they claimed no more WiMax smartphones? And it's not part of the initial LTE lineup.. as that consists of Galaxy Nexus, LG mid-range device and Mifi-type device.
hmmmmm...
I'm not going to lie, I miss the original epic keyboard. I can't stand trying to type on a screen even with swype..
AWESOME, can I get one without the KB?

where oh where could we ever find an epic for sprint without the keyboard...
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.

Same for me. I had the OG Epic, and never used the hard keyboard.
Also, unrelated, is Lugard a Wheel of Time reference?

I came to Sprint and got the Evo. Then soon traded for the Epic. I hated that ****ing keyboard. Slab phones ftw! Did anyone ever find a case that wouldn't scratch that phone? I previously had a Vibrant which was nice and thin. Ended up going back to the Evo. Sprint hit it dead on with the Epic Touch imo.

I thought keyboards disappeared in the days of Men wearing spandex and tight jeans....Oh wait, I think that is coming back : (
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.

came across someone with one of these on their iphone few weeks ago. i have to say.. if youre all about physical keyboards.. its certainly an awesome option. the iphone was not much thicker than stock.. matched the phone completely.. connected via bluetooth of course.
not an iphone fan but i was impressed.

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.
So I currently have a Black E4GT.
I'm trading a guy this weekend for his iPhone 4s 32gb White.
I'm only doing this because I'm upgrade eligible end of the month (3/31/12).
I'm planning on upgrading to the White E4GT (I like white, had too much black phones), then selling the iPhone 4s I traded for on eBay for like $500~
OR should I wait for that Galaxy Nexus (I don't care for expandable storage) or supposed Galaxy Journal (CDMA version of Note), problem I know is, longer I wait, the more value the iPhone 4s will lose, and I really really hate iOS, I'm only doing this to make a couple hundred on the side, and that White E4GT is so nice looking haha.
As much as I hate to say it, the iphone will probably hold it's value more than a e4gt, especially a 32 GB. I'm so glad my upgrade comes in November, hopefully the Galaxy 3 is out by then, and maybe I can pull some iphone 5 trading shenanigans for some extra $. One can hope.

I got MAJOR problems! Lmao. Yeah the trade for the iPhone 4s is solid, cuz as previously mentioned, the iPhones for some reason are shenanigans expensive used on eBay with clean ESNs.
I just hate iOS and there is nothing to upgrade to come April 1st, and I'm sure Galaxy S III or Nexus won't be out by then... Maybe I will just deal with iOS for a couple months.
id normally say no point in waiting as there is always something new on the horizon, but doing all of that just to get the white one seems pretty insane. And i thought I was bad with gadget swapping and selling lol

I don't see how the Nexus would be worth moving to from the E4GT. The ONLY thing you are gaining is a native pure Android experience... which you can duplicate with CM9 on the E4GT. Hardware-wise, there's no advantage over what you have now.
In fact, I'd be nervous about any phone without external storage to send backups to. If you brick your phone and your nanadroid is on the internal storage, you're screwed.

True. But its like I could sell the iPhone 4s on eBay for like 550.
Then if I bought a Epic (white or black regardless), off contract, they usually go for like 300-350 locally. Reducing profit to 200~ lol.
And I think if I hold on to the 4s, it would either lose value when the 5 gets released, or I'd gouge out my eyes from staring at that small crap screen and 4x4 squares O_O
Eh, decisions decisions lol.

Hey neilkarunatilaka total side-note... How you liking your setup?
here is the desc to a video i put up .. any s2 owner (infact pda) owner should pay attention. .
the issues with the phone and How sprint is Recalling some of these will come in my next video Yes they are Recalling Units For Special Testing>>
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch LCD LED Differences etc..
First off the reason i changed out phones.
the phone wouldn't call 911 or anyone else when it doesn’t feel like it.
When you dial 911 it should put the phone in E mode thus full Control and full power and high priority on network.
(ill post a video about that resolution)
In short it just dials hangs up and you do it again till it connects.
IE the transmitter is CRAP
This call failure issue has been going on since this phone came out. (When i got it) but just got worse and worse.
sprint corp sent me this phone not from telesales etc.. (watch the other video that is coming soon about the whys etc of the replacement phones. and you will find that funny as much as interesting.
This Video shows a few things.
there is a HUGE difference in Tolerances for LED and LCD Color Binning Thus the quality of display and photos are not similar from one e4gt to another.
also shows there is something funky about the Automatic Backlight. The Unit Going back dims the LCD to much and is slow to respond to light changes in the room. (this issue was on the China Made S2s not the Korea Made S2s i had 2 of the Koreas and not an issue i had 3 Chinas and there was the isssu.
Also shows the phone going back rebooted by itself (I have seen that before)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoQaj-AM9XY&hd=1
Are you using the phone in stock form? The 911 issue was fixed long ago.
Sent from my Galaxy S II, AOKP style.
wed all like to think/hope that 911 Fix wored.
yes stock rom all current updates applied.
My new phone (left)came from Sprint Corp Inside (like VIP fullfillment) as its ESN is one of the first (Even lower than the one i bought when this first came out)
IE this is stock at the corp office from initial shipment.
(confirmed it was shipped from VIP fullfillment at sprint corp)
right fone is from local store
corp wants my phones for testing and i wasnt going into store to swap so they just pushed a fone from corp LOL>>
the phone has a known issue of not wanting to initilize a outbound call thus you have to redial to get it to go threw
your phone would act like making call then fail out right at 0.01 0.0 seconds
The galaxy s2 has an amoled screen. So it doesn't have a backlight or an LCD a screen.
What are you trying to say here?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
ya when i was doing the video i was basically going over the color binning in lcd, amoled, plasma oled etc...
IE keeping it general. Yes i know these dont have LED backlight However they do still have color bining and so other phone users could understand the binning concept.
my goal here is to let others see that there is color bining and you can get way different screens and LEDs (on the back) that are not the same and can affect color rendering... on the display and recording (if led is to white or yellow )
more of a FYI than any thing else.

Man i been trying to tell people that some epics have extra warm orangish color.
I returned 2 black epics to amazon and echganged it for white one now my screen temperature is cool-white and not yellowish.
I am sure there is a difference in the brightness and color between the displays, but for the really drastic difference with the browser (more than the rest of the UI), you might want to look at the browser settings. That app has brightness settings independent of the brightness in settings for the rest of the UI.

It is fairly common (whether its Epic, Nexus, ET4G) to see inconsistent screens. There are some lemons here and there. Even if you look in the Nexus forum you will see people complaining about Voodoo color settings not looking good and such.

Nah,im trying to say that there was probably a batch of about 1000-10000 defective black epics on amazon,so i figured i take my chances with white one and glad i did because screen is normal and looks better than black one
I remember i had same issue with iphone 3gs,my screen was yellowish and colors looked washed out.So i trade it in for another one and another one.Then reps at apple store pulled some out and they was yellow too.So they was trying to tell me that they are all like that,so i told them to look at phones they had on display,display iphones where all normal.So sense everything they had in stock was with defective yellow screen and people who was buying them just didnt know any better,they had to give me a refund.

Hey all,
I got a brand new Galaxy Nexus today, but after browsing the very white Play Store, I noticed a pixel that shows like the rainbow, a whole bunch of colors.
EDIT: I think it's a "hot spot"?
I'm thinking stuck pixel, but can anyone tell me more about it, I know there are existing threads, but I would appreciate refreshed opinions and information.
Just as well, is there anything I can do about it, other than send it in to Samsung and wait close to a month/ go to Verizon and get a CPO-POS replacement?
EDIT: As in, anyone have personal experience with RMA for their Galaxy Nexus?
that means you have dead pixel on your screen. if your within your 14 days I would recommend returning and swapping it with another brand new nexus. else get a certified handset from Verizon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Dead, not stuck? Bleh, just my luck, happened to the last new electronic with a screen I bought too...is it normal?
I bought it NIB on eBay, I hear Google ships ya a replacement for free, but then isn't Samsung the one to go to? Wouldn't they want me to send it in and "repair" it for a week?

No it is stuck if lit. A dead pixel would be black and never able to emit light. There is some apps that will flash diff colors that may unstick it and sometimes even massaging it with a little pressure will get the out. Best bet is to get a replacment though...at least try a stuck pixel app first, free, fast and may work...

"massaging" it won't work as it has a glass digitizer over it. People only put pressure on it if it's a monitor or TV.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I had this with an HP laptop recently, but I wasn't sure it was a stuck pixel since it looks so weird-looks like someone stabbed that one particular spot with a pencil, only the spot looks like exactly one pixel, it has that same rainbow-y effect as water on the screen.
We're sure it's a stuck pixel?
And again, based on reading about other GalNexes, Samsung support likes to "repair" your phone while Google will ship out a new one ASAP.... Google Support sounds better to me, any reinforcement to that? Thanks again all!

I had a stuck pixel on my last Nexus that was just blue. Verizon swapped it out for another one. Your problem sounds a little different. If you have insurance I would see about getting a clnr from Verizon. I'm not sure if they will cover a phone purchased elsewhere but it's worth a shot at least to find out.

I'm exchanging it for another "new" one from the eBay seller, they've agreed to it but I;m not sure where this replacement Nexus is coming from.... Anyway, the more I look at it, the less it looks like a stuck pixel and the more it looks like impact damage, it's not like it's red, blue or green, it's like that rainbowy color you get when the screen is like...damaged, or there's lint on it, but it's not lint.
So it has been reported that the Verizon N4 White versions are now showing Oct 31st for availability. Is this only for preorders that are made NOW due to a backorder situation with the number of white phones that have been preordered to date? When I preordered my white on September 26th, it said it would ship by the 23rd. I called verizon last night and they said it looked like it was going to ship next Wednesday (presumably to be here on the 23rd).
So is this new date valid for people preordering now, or all preorders?
I have to say that this is my first experience buying a phone through Verizon, and I'm completely shocked at how bad their system and communications are. They provide either no information, or completely confusing information. Dominos Pizza has a better order and information system than they do. It's absolutely stupefying how bad it is.
probably for new pre-orders going forward. that's gotta be the only reason it was delayed, because they ran out of stock of the white ones ya know?

That's what I suspect, but the information they share is terrible. Heck... my preorder is still "processing" like everyone else here. Most systems change from "processing" to some other status that indicates that whatever you ordered has been successfully processed and is awaiting shipment or something.

Most systems only do that when the order has been successfully processed and is awaiting shipment. Given that Verizon has been saying the pre-orders will ship by 10/23, it's not the least bit surprising that their system is still saying what it says. When it's actually awaiting shipment, it will say it's awaiting shipment.

Really? White phones are for girls now?
EFF that. If cornball guys can wear pink shirts and feel cool, I can use a White phone. When did white become girl only?
I pre-ordered white. I usually rotate each year between white and black. Mine said the 23rd when I pre-ordered, hopefully it doesn't change.

Old school mentality. I used to only rock dark colored phones for that reason but if I look at my friends white S5 and compare it to my Black S5 his phone looks so much better. It has a more premium look to it and the screen also "looks" bigger. I opted to go with a white note 4 this time around. The phone just looks so much more premium in white and also the demand is much higher so resale value like someone else pointed it is much better.
As you get older you stop worrying about what people think about the color of phone you carry around.
White phone, black case = class
I used to only own black/grey phones. Bought the white Note 3, threw a black case on it and it's a beauty
white is for girls? lmao okay. sure.

Because 99.9% of females own white iPhone's. One major reason why its perceived to be more for women then men.
Someone has gotta be reasl insecure about something to say its feminine to own a white cell phone Lol. I had a black note 3 and the dark Grey note 2, seriously considering white if it's in stock on release. Anybody know if the white feels the same in hand? On the note 3 the black felt much better and grippy than the white one.

99.9 percent of females own iphones, regardless of what color it is. does that make the iPhone a woman's phone? no.

Maybe that is why all the white note 4s are so much in demand that they pushed the date back. More girls are buying note 4s now!! Maybe? I hope so because this girl preordered a white one. I hope many more girls do the same on here

Was gonna get a white one til I saw the date.. I want it now!!
Yes, I'm a guy. White is not a color for girls. Technically it's not even a color.

Really? White phones are for girls now?
very good question! I had no idea that was the case!
EFF that. If cornball guys can wear pink shirts and feel cool, I can use a White phone. When did white become girl only?
Another fantastic question! Me Personally, I Like my Electronics to be white. I hope my "manhood" is not in question (not that I care). to me, the device has more of a premier Look when it's white. My furniture are mostly in black. To each his own I guess.
I pre-ordered white. I usually rotate each year between white and black. Mine said the 23rd when I pre-ordered, hopefully it doesn't change.

Except for my recent Galaxy nexus, most of all my devices have been in white.
