Trade question - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is an EVO 3d for an e4gt straight across a good deal. I'm getting the e4gt for my 3d

The guy that is giving you the Epic Touch is slightly getting ripped off as the Epic Touch is better and has a higher value... In the end, you get the better half of the stick...
Congrats!!!

I have them both and I much prefer the epic touch. plus it doesn't feel slowed down by sense. so to me it would actually be an upgrade.

Which is why I said that (I'm assuming your sex), he is getting the better end of the stick or however the hell I phrased it,

I asked if he wanted any cash on my end. He said no he's not worried about it. Were going to meet at a sprint store do the esn thing and swap phones.
He said he doesn't like tw and prefers sense. And ironically I like tw and hate hate hate sense.

That means that you got a great deal!

I agree, I just came to Sprint after leaving the Evil AT&T and after researching for a week I decided that the E4GT is the best they have even after 6 months. Congrats.

Wtf is this sprint

Y do you still advertise evo 3d when the et4g is clearly superior

...To get rid of the EVO 3D stock, of course.
Its the evo brand

They still have to advertise different products. Does honda just advertise the accord? It's better than the civic. Does Nissan only advertise the Maxima? It's better than the Altima. The fact is different items appeal to different people, phones are no different.

Bah, I liked my answer better.
im convinced that sprint has a better contract with htc than they do with sprint.. the epic was better than the evo but got no publicity, and now the e4gt has better is better than the evo3d and gets no burn.. obviously something is up
sprint has a better contract with sprint ehh
During the football games yesterday I saw an evo 3d, photon, and epic touch commercial from sprint. Basically the same with a different phone pictured in each one

I've wondered about that, too. They promoted the Evo3D on their website for over a month before it was available... I never saw mention of the ET4G until launch day.
In fact, the picture of the Evo3D with that creepy-looking little girl is still up there.
I wonder if Sprint is having the same issues with Samsung that caused Verizon to relegate them to Red-headed step child status... Too many returns due to radio issues.

Very aggressive TV Galaxy SII ad campaign happening right now by samsung.
Their ad dept kicks ass! Apple has always done great ads but these are better.
I thought the same as well. When I was calling around for this phone some employees never even heard of it.
The Evo3D Killer!!!
Your all wrong. You have to advertise the worse product for it to even sell. The people that know what's going on know what phone to buy without seeing an advertisement. If they felt like they were going to have a problem selling the epic touch then they would advertise for it. Remember it does cost money to advertise so why spend money if you don't have to. Also there really wasn't that much advertising for any of the sgs1 and it out sold every manufacturer.

That's because they are part time that don't care about phones or their jobs.

Coming from an old and trusty Hero!

I made the jump today and ordered the Epic 4G Touch. I plan on immediately rooting and getting started with the fun! Anyone else come from a Hero and what are your thoughts? I loved AOSP on the Hero so hopefully there will be some good roms like his over here
Wow that is a huge jump in terms of hardware. Lol

Yea, it was either the Epic or an iphone and there's no freakin way i'm leaving Android.
I came from the Hero. This phone works so well I haven't even bothered rooting it yet, but that will all change once ICS is out.

[Q] If you were to get a new SPRINT phone right now, what would you suggest?

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

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.

I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus. Good battery life, nfc chip, and ICS without bloatware.

EVO Design vs sg2

Anyone have both or have used both? I'm debating on which one to get. I can get a used sg2 for 200 or a evo design for 300. If I get the sg2 I'm flashing it to boost. But the design just came out and it's 300
Sent from my SPH-M930BST using XDA
Are you sure the evo design cause thats been out a while the evo lte is the most recent release between the sg2 and evo design definitely the sg2. If you meant the evo 4g lte not sure boost is getting lte service anytime soon thought they were going wimax. Seems a waste to me just my 2 cents.
Evo design is mid tier, like the conquer. Gs2 hands down.
Evo design is single core, but it does GSM for outside the US. GS2 is a damn speed demon (I've owned one) and it's as fast as the newer quad core phones. It will chew up and spit out anything you throw at it. Not to mention it has an amazing camera.
My girl friend has the evo design don't get that phone.

Evo Design is even worse than the Evo3D! Don't do it. You're saving a few bucks going with the GS2 and a few headaches too..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Evo Design is a new 4g wimax phone for Boost. Epic Touch(GS2) is by far the better phone. I have mine flashed to boost and it works great!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My wife has the design, and it's a decent phone-IF, you don't want to do a whole lot to it as there's not much of a community supporting it. Plus with the gs2 being $100 less, shoot it's a no-brainer!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yeah true. I'm planning on getting it flashed to boost. I have the Samsung transform ultra now and a epic 4g.

S2 wins no doubt.
I've had both. I had the Evo Design for 3 weeks and decided to add another line for my daughter. Guess who got the Design and who got the SG2? Give you a hint....my daughter was pis** ed
I currently have both of these phones. Don't ask why, I just do. I got the Evo Design because it was free at the time when I started my contract and I didn't know a lot about phones at the time. The Evo is a good phone for a lower level device, it has a pretty nice and bright screen and I like HTC sense interface better than touchwizz. HOWEVER, I am a recruiter so I do alot of work on my phone on the go. The design could not keep up with the speed I needed as well as the screen size was crippling, but the touch excels in both of those categories by far. I got tired of the small screen and the lagginess of the evo, it felt outdated the second I got it so after two months I went to the sprint store looking for something better. I asked the guy what the best phone he had was and he took me straight to the epic 4g touch. I played with it and fell in love. The screen is huge compared to the design and the dual core processor makes it stupid fast compared to the design. The camera is better, the screen is bigger and more sharp, more applications are supported on it, the battery lasts longer and there is SO MUCH MORE developer support for the epic 4g touch as well. I don't think the design even has it's own section here. Hands down between the two mentioned, the epic 4g touch is a WAY better option for the money. If there are any other questions, feel free to ask.

I gave up, I saw that the HERO S is basically the same phone, but all of the threads I found on rooting were sketchy and complicated. Nothing like the "oneclicks" over here. My design stays off in a drawer unused. I use it every once in a while for giggles but that only lasts a few minutes until I have withdraws and start twitching for my touch.
Yeah, same story here...plus I don't understand sense for the life of me-locked bootloaders? S-off? It's all too confusing.

Hands down sg2. I'm not a fan of touchwiz, but this has been the best phone I've ever had. I'm currently debating between the evo lte and the sg3.

EVO LTE not what I expected!

So yesterday my epic was stolen. I call sprint to do my ins claim n found out my upgrade was up. So I decided to givea shot to the EVO (keeping in mind that I have 14 days to switch to my gs3 lol ) .this phone looks n feels amazing but truly has far as the performance goes it cannot match our E4GT. It has too many issues. Despite not having LTE yet this phone is not an upgrade from the epic. Google wallet doesn't work , WiFi issues , multitask sucks and I don't care what people say this phone lags. Keep in mind I'm neither an HTC or Samsung fanboy. I'm just android freak looking for the best experience.

I am a Samsung fanboy and am using the EVO til gs3 is in stores and everything you said is correct and more. The things that are blowing me away is the mods that keep deleting the threads of the people that are discussing why they are returning the phone and how many returns that there for quite a few different reasons.
Sadly but true!

Wtf is with the text messages when you get voicemails. That's how shi**y sense is. I really hate using this phone but I broke mine so this is a loaner.
Hate to do this but it's not going to do anything but turn into a fanboy and troll thread peeps.
