DELETE - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

DELETE

It destroys the EVO.
<<<<former EVO owner.

Absolutely a good buy.

Its a great phone very responsive and for me does everything i could ever want/ need in a phone. That being said if you have the extra cash go for it because its the best phone sprint has out right now, but if the price you'll be paying for it off- contract is steep for you I suggest holding off on it because newer phones are coming very soon

Definitely worth it as mentioned before. The xda marketplace has better deals for the e4gt but they don't pop up too often. Expect to pay a good amount of money but it is a great device.

Fortunately with my income tax check coming I'll have a few bucks laying around. I was thinking of buying the nexus but I heard it wasn't coming till the summer. And honestly the epic has better specs.

Yeah unless Samsung releases a better nexus for sprint, our device is superior to it. Also, by the time the sgs3 comes you'll be nearing your upgrade

I have no complaints about both but I have heard others complain about them. The speaker could be better but I like it. I never owned the evo but compared to the evo 3d (which I still regularly use), the E4GT has both a better earpiece and speaker.
Here's a no nonsense review of the E4GT from flossy carter. Enjoy the show haha
E4GT Review FlossyCarter

My friends wife just got the White E4GT like 2 days ago. From her own words it's been one of the first phones shes been able to setup herself. Shes not very tech savvy (reason she has her husband or me to help at times) but so far she LOVES the phone. I'll be rooting his this week but going to leave his wife's phone alone for the time being. She really has no need for root and honestly wouldn't know what to do with it anyways . But they got the E4GT after they had a chance to use/play with mine for awhile and they love them.

Coming from HTC hero , id say worth the buy! Wanted the galaxy nexus but was like eff it and took the chance been by accessories i'm on it every minute

I'm four days into my SGS2, upgraded from the SGS1. I am pissed I waited so long! The S2 is a far superior product. It's faster, cleaner, thinner and just feels right when held in your hand. The screen is clearer, ntm bigger. It supports call recording (#1 biggest reason I bought the phone) and has a nicer camera. Longer battery life, thinner than the S1.
I spent $395 on an eBay auction for one new in the box, never touched. Lotta money, but well spent, imho. And I can sell my S1 + accessories for $200.

Better on everything the epic the evo is a good phone but once you get an epic you will see but on another note with the speed phones are being manufactured and with a year left I would save your money the epic will be mothballs by then and you could have an even better phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I'd say buy one on eBay and sell your old one to help cover the cost; I've been on Sprint for less than 2 years and the E4GT will be my fifth phone (Samsung Moment, Samsung Transform, Samsung Epic 4g, EVO 3D, E4GT) - whenever I see something I want, I find it on eBay.
I won't even qualify for my first paid upgrade until April 1, but I plan to save that for the phone that I see and decide I can't live without the instant it comes out.
YMMV, but I paid ~$340 for a mint/used E4GT with original box & accessories; the better shape they're in, the more they go for but mid-$300's seems pretty average.
Good luck!

Totally worth it! Best phone hands down on sprint. You will love it.
I just bought one for a friend off craigslist, like new, mint, for $200. Just make sure is you go used, call sprint and ask if the esn is clear, AND if the phone is attached to any account.
There is also a couple g threads going around.. Get a airwave for free, and another to use it to get a upgrade price phone. Might want to look into that.

Without a doubt, best phone. Stay on top of rooted ROMs and it's the best. But even on Stock ROM this thing is tops.
Camera rocks. Speed is amazing. Could do better with GPS, but it works. Ear piece speaker is very loud. Very few issues.
The build quality is far superior to the Evo line. People complain about the plastic but it's super light and thin. No dust or light leakage problems.

Anyone sell their 3D on craigslist to get this phone?

I'm wondering how much you sold it for and how long it took to sell. I see a buttload of them on craigslist in my area. I don't want to mark it rediculously low but I certainly don't want to make it too high to move.
I was going to list my Droid Charge, but Sprint offered me $185 trade in, so I took it. Saved me the hassle of selling it, and almost paid for my wife's E4GT.

Maybe that's because it doesn't look like an actual picture and condition of your phone. Try posting a more ordinary pic. People get scared by that extravagance attempted stuff. They think it's a scam. Oh and leave all the rooted and custom kernel talk out of it. Most people have no idea about that stuff.

For that price you basically robbed yourself LOL
just fyi for some people that sell on craigslist. Make sure your ad goes "live", meaning your ad actually shows up in search results.
Craigslist has this anti spam filter that says your ad is posted but never shows up in search results therefore no one can see it unless you give them the ad link. Had a problem with this when I tried to sell my evo 4g. Posted like 3 times and finally the last ad went live.
http://reviews411.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/craigslist-ad-not-showing-up-its-called-ad-ghosting/
I first posted it for $350. No bites. Then $325, still not bites. $300, nothing. $275, about 5 people interested and sold it the next day.
I currently have both my OG Epic and my EVO 3d and still no bites. I so want this phone.
Put it up for $250 and I sold it the next day. There were a lot up for 300 so I went for the big undercut to move it before Friday.

I have a Motorola Photon 4g. Excellent Condition! Screen is PERFECT and has been in a case from day 1! Who wants to trade? I'm already looking on craigslist to find someone local but am getting impatient. In North Indiana.
I have the orig box, charger and like I said, comes with the grey and fake leather case that I bought from Sprint. I bought it straight from a corp. store.

NOTE: I'm only interested in trading the Photon and some Cash for an Epic Touch at this point.
wishful trading but most people are completely in love with their epic touch 4g, and you may have better luck putting this in the market section
Thanks! I did so we'll see.

How is the signal on the photon? I'm wondering because my wife and I use these phones for our work and in low coverage areas, so it might be smart for us to have 2 different phones just for diagnostic sake.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've never dropped a call. People all say on the forums that the photon has one of the best radios they've ever used. I'm just bored with the phone, that's why I want the epic touch. I have zero complaints about this phone as far as call quality, and reception is concerned. I just want something thinner.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Well, according to the photon forums, it appears to be mod friendly as well which is primarily what I care about, and the touchpad would actually be highly useful for my business, so I'd do the trade.
My S2 has what amounts to some light rubbing on that bottom piece of shiny plastic... You have to look at it in the light at an angle to even see it. It had the anti glare screen protector put on in store upon removal from the box, and both it and the screen are flawless.
I can get some pics if you're interested.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I tried to include some pics of the photons light rubbing as well. Due to it being in the case since purchase, it has gotten a few scuffs on the sides. I'm assuming like yours, something you need to look for to see. You don't happen to live around Fort Wayne, IN do you? Also, the TP is a 32gb with the touchstone dock and i have an old iPad 1 case that it fits in and has 2 stands built into the case that work really nice. Tho after thinking about it last night, it's not exactly a fair trade so I was thinking either I'd trade my Photon and some cash for the Epic Touch or both my Photon and TouchPad for the Epic Touch and some cash. What do you think?

Doh, oh well. I don't get paid again for a week and trading the S2 for just the photon (cash doesn't sweeten it much, still left without the S2 in the end) doesn't work, was much more the touchpad I'd be interested in.
I can understand where you're coming from though, so good luck!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well I'm still open to the idea. If you really want to trade, I don't care when you get paid... we work out a deal and swap phones ASAP... we can just work the TP deal when you get paid. It's up to you. I just think if I trade the TP and my phone for an ET, I'm getting screwed.
How much are you thinking in addition for the Touchpad?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
IDK... $100. I think that'd be fair. The 16gb Touchpad is $99... the 32, $150. After tax, shipping, the case, and touchstone charger, I spent around $225. What do you think?

How much is the epic worth?

I have an upgrade next month and I want my wife and I to both upgrade to the nexus. But my wife does not want to spend over $200 for both. Amazon has it for $150. I was wondering of people are still willing to spend $100 on the epic. It's in pretty good condition with some minor cosmetic damage in the bottom of the phone.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
If it is minor damage I might consider it.
Sent from My Phone with An App
As much as someone is willing to pay for it but honestly Sprint in Good Condition will only give you about probably 45 to 60$. And its going for 99.99$ w/ 2 Yr Contract as well.
But as a phone i'd check craigslist around you and see because i have seen people sell it for 150+ and some below that so see whats around you and how much and try their and if nothing works try to sell it here.
Off contract from sprint its around 150 or so... i think. You could put it up for around 100-125.

Toddler threw wife's Sensation in a coffee cup

We do have a subsidized phone available through T-Mo, so I'm inclined to use that.
GS3 seems like the obvious choice, but I'm loathe to hand her electronics destroying hands a new phone (this is her 3rd phone in just over 2 years. The others were similarly destroyed).
I'd be very tempted to hand her the GN and keep the GS3
How annoyed am I going to be with the GS3?
Other ideas?
And why couldn't she have waited a month until the Galaxy Note 2 came out?

Perhaps you could look around and checks phones that will have a nice resale value right now. Not sure what choices you have with tmobile. A gs3 could be had for $200 upgrade price, flipped for $500+ and then buy a nice little mid range expendable phone that will get the job done. Or maybe buy two. This method has it's goods and bads, but if a smartphone is really needed for phone amd text, and the extras for distraction/minimal tasks and getting on the web for fun, reading or tips on breasts hurt while breastfeeding then this might be a good path. Otherwise, get a nice little unlocked nokia or moto for cheap until toddler destruction improves.

The key word I see here is toddler, give the toddler that busted sensation. That way he/she has their own phone to dunk in coffee. The other thing is to teach your wife the proper way to deal with water damage, ie battery pull and rice.
And teach her not to put her phone in front of a baby. And tell her she won't like it the next time it happens.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
why does she need a phone in the kitchen in the first place?

Lol, its not a bad deal i think. The mugen battery is 100 the phone is still 600 brand new, the case is 35. I may lower it to $300 though for all of it.
I've been lucky enough to play with the note II daily at work and I have to say that the phone is awesome in every sense. Much better than the GS3. I'm very tempted.
