Let's lobby for this awesome device on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
You bet! This is going to be a popular phone 'cause of the cost vs. features. It also is in need of some serious tweaking, but is very easy to brick (first hand) because all the info you need is scattered all over the place.
If any phone needs a forum, this one does.

I had one for a while just until the Evo came back in stock (back in late August) and I do think it's pretty good for a relatively AOSP device. It does need some serious tweaking though since it's pretty slow/laggy. My mom and two sisters all have Intercepts and it'd be nice to throw on a new ROM/remove bloatware since they're always complaining about how slow it is (and I believe them because I've owned it!).
Cyanogenmod on the Intercept could speed things a bit.

This might be my next phone. The Virgin Mobile plans look great.

Get it done.
Get Intercept attention.
Please rate and vote to front at top of this thread. Intercept needs a forum.
Intercept coming soon. Next week.
+10 been looking for a comprehensive forum on the intersept.
I don't have one, but my sister does, and I'd love to be able to learn more about it....not having a dedicated section here for intercept forces me to search for less trustworthy sources of info than I would find here.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
I have migrated to the MyTouch 4G Slide, leaving this bad boy lonely. What should I do with it?
You can give it away; I'm sure some folks who frequent this forum would like it. You can sell it on eBay. I'm sure you can get more than just the shipping cost. You could use it for specialized purposes (GPS, Internet radio, ....). You could keep it as a back up. You can try Android on it.
give it to the less fortunate (me)
Donate it to the xdandroid developers. That's what ima do come november when I get the epic 4g

I agree donate it to developer so they can use it for testing rhodium stuff for us
I'll probably get yelled at for such a post, but I love Android and I was just curious as to what everyone here at xda thinks about this when comparing the two OS's and phones with the iphone 5 announcement and all ... What are your thoughts on the two?
My thoughts on iOS/iPhone: Yawn
The iPhone is not really for the tech savy. It's basically just an app drawer....that's it. You can't customize it and if your already part of this community, it goes against your very nature.
I have also read that Android users consume more data than iPhone users. I don't have the source though.
Also, I'm a bit miffed by the changes Sprint is making. However, the most important thing to me is rate plan prices. Sprint was bleeding to death and instead of raising prices, they changed some things in the background that really should hurt the majority of us.
This will stop the bleed and they can reinvest the money, hopefully, in the network. So I actually want to thank Sprint for not taking the easy road by raising prices.
I would imagine Sprint will get a crap load of new users that are unhappy with At&t or Verizon but were staying there because they can't live without their iPhone.
This was posted in another thread and i completly agree
Haha silver, I literally just read this same exact post in another thread somewhere...
Yes you did it was posted by ptfmedic in the sprint sold us out thread. And i think it perfectly answers the op's question
LOL
Nice one silver...
Im so impressed with the SGII compared to other devises it just continues to amaze http://pocketnow.com/smartphone-news/comparison-iphone-4s-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-video
Wow, I have to admit, I'm impressed
I have just gone from the HTC Sensation to Samsung GS2 and overall the samsung is better especially now its overclocked to 1504 but the sensation had an awesome screen for viewing and i loved the curved face.....and the very missed led.
There is more to it than who can open the applications faster, etc.
I owe a epic 4g touch, so I am partial towards this device. That being said, the iphone 4s was neck and neck with it, and possible as fast if you account for the longer animations.
The iphone 4s processor is clocked way lower than the gs2....it is trade off for battery life. While samsung was worried about being the faster android first and foremost...it appears that apple knew their device was more than fast enough...so they upped the battery life.
Sadly, there is no comparison between the graphic chips in these two phones. The iphone 4s blows away the mal 400...and is only bested by the high clocked version in the ipad 2.
The screen on the gs2 is big and beautiful...while the clarity is better on the iphone 4s thanks to the pixel density (this is true...not in the same way that the evo3d owners were claiming their screen was better...it is not...I just sold my evo3d....apple has a great screen here). So it comes down between big and beautiful...vs smaller and clear while still pretty.

Did you miss all the posts about poor battery life and yellow/green screen tint? Anandtech really lol
Have you missed all the post about yellowed tint and poor battery life is the gs2 forums? What about battery life and Los signal in our very own epic touch forums?
No phone is perfect. I don't see how that contradicts or supports what I said.
did anyone else see the other 10000 threads about the same thing???

Yep...doesn't stop me or anyone from replying to 1001 threads. Not offense, but have you seen the 1001 post saying the same thing you have said in each of these threads? Something to think about...
Besides what was already said, you are all falling Epicly, as this is not the SGII section. Close but no cigar, this is the E4GT section. LOL
Any chance a moderator could fix them up?

I know which section it is....i owe the phone.
Our phone has had it share of problems, as does most phones. Is it that hard to see the point I am making.
I love the epic 4g touch...amazing phone. Just to make that clear. But that doesn't mean one can't be unbiased and not act like a fanboy.

Yep, clear as mud. Did you look around at all before starting this thread? As was already pointed out, there have already been plenty of these type of posts in this section.
That article has nothing to do with this phone no matter how similar you think it is. And there is a SGII section that it would be fine for posting in.
If you're looking to create a new discussion on the iphone topic, you're not, it's been beat to death and everyone is tired of them. You like the phone? Great, go get one. You can join MartyLK and his quest to win XDA over and all become crapple fanboys. Check out his argument in the general section, or every other thread that is crapple vs. anything.
And I'm sorry that you "owe" the phone, that's kinda weird. LOL

Real mature lot here.
I am not the op I was just responding to his post.
If you read it, it should be evident that I was not promoting the iPhone or the galaxy s2 . I really not sure I understand the argument against my post. Maybe you didn't read it? Never the less....enough of the bs....I feel like this forum is full of children.
I own the phone....and don't give a damn about what phone Is better because I thoroughly enjoy the epic touch. But again....everyone's response here is odd...and pitiful to be honest.
Anyway, take care.

Sorry about that, I was in a hurry and at work. I could have sworn I saw your name as the OP.
Anyway, show me a side by side of the E4GT and the iJunk and that's fine. But what point is there putting the SGII in this section?
And as far as people who love the iJunk so much, the majority are paid by crapple to be fanboys. They either don't want to lose the sponsorship, are getting perks, have some kind of vested interest or otherwise in crapple. I just haven't seen an unbiased review on any of crapples products. Here's a fact about biased supposedly unbiased reporting: http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...se_the_smartphone_IQ_once_again?taxonomyId=15
Read on down to paragraph 4 of that article. "A new antenna design addresses notorious dropped-call problems that plagued iPhone 4." I bet when he was reviewing the iJunk 4 he never mentioned that it was plagued with anything, ESPECIALLY dropped calls. They're all a bunch of phony, fake, biased and paid for reviews that lead smart, non tech savvy, people into buying crap.

dude you gotta realize how annoying it is to see the same threads over and over and over. A quick search of iphone4s vs et4g would have yielded you a handful of threads already open about the same topic. Anyone who has any type of forum etiquitte knows to search before posting, on top of that, the OP picked the sorest topic to post about. iPhone vs anything does nothing but turn into a flame war ending with name calling. Every forum...every thread.

Agreed, I was just replying to the thread. I did not create it.
So I feel like I have a decent unbiased comparison here so flaming aside I will put my 2 cents in. I have owed every android phone sprint has offered, along with a few att and tmobile devices because of my job. I posted in the other thread about who was jumping to the 4s and said I was not but my wife was because of a program she needed that worked flawlessly on ios but not so much on android....
After day 3 of her having the iphone she said she would rather have my e4g over her 64gb iphone that we bought OUTRIGHT! So of course I asked her why and being not so techy she said "I like it better". So we switched phones for a day and this is what I came up with....
Clarity of the iphone screen is awesome from little tiny fonts to zooming in and not seeing pixelation. Camera was comparable to my eye after zooming in, no printing though. That being said I have owed every iphone except the original and they all are the same, more or less, software wise. After using the 4s I returned it for a second e4g. I still think the iphone has the most forgiving and accurate keyboard but the screen size on the e4g makes up for that easily. App quality is nice on the iphone but android has done well in that category now as well. Siri is boarderline creepy...my wife asked random personal questions and it answered "I try to stay satisfied but this is about you not me" lol...but does its job well however I will never get used to any voice recognition, ios or android.
So all in all, I won't ever really down technical innovation, but after using both I am much more content with the e4g....and the $920 after taxes that came with the return. Like I said, just my 2 cents though.

Hello community!
I won my very own titan tonight at the windows phone inner circle party at the hard rock hotel in downtown san diego.
I tweeted and tweeted until I couldnt' feel my fingers to be called up by the microsoft staff and won my own unlocked titan!
the event was awesome with free food and drinks and all of the mango phones worldwide on display!
I saw and handled the titan, focus s, focus flash, allegro, lg sander phone, fujitsu all on display, I was so ecstatic to be there oh and thank god my boyfriend figured out that we had to unlock or unprotect our tweets because the microsoft team couldn't see our hashtags to participate in the contest.
unfortunately some non deserving people won as well, some girl won that had no idea what she was winning (a titan as well) and asked if it worked for verizon, i almost rolled my eyes out my own head watching her win,
the windows phone inner circle party is coming to a city near you! im so thankful i won my next windowsphone and can now go back to att without a contract and can sell my hd7 and pay my disconnect fee for tmobile with the proceeds,
im too ecstatic for words!! happy happy joy joy!!
Congratulations! After handling all those devices do you think any of them stood out as superior to the rest of them? (In terms of build quality, aesthetics, or anything)
Yes I say tie for HTC and Samsung both of their offerings have fantastic design and build, samsung edged out in specs I think and being available on a better network, it was interesting to see the Fujitsu allegro and jil sander phone in the flesh, however im so excited for my new phone, just mulling over how to get away from t-mobile the least expensive way possible, you can check my posted pics from the party from my twitter account @noelitaux

No one person 'deserves' the prize anymore than any other. That's why it's called a prize.
Congrats on your new freebie.
Congratulations! What an awesome prize to win! If I may ask, which twitter profile were you following to know about the cities (inner circle) was hitting?
Oh man wish I knew about the protected thing. I wanted a Titan so bad i'm so jealous, oh well guess i'm out 200 bucks to use my upgrade ha.
Enjoy! I had VIP at least and open bar all night ha... probably drank 200 worth of drinks between me and my buddy ha.
Congrats
I couldn't make the party cause something came up. I rsvpd a while ago to the NYC one. I saw the pictures and regret not going. Looked like a lot of fun. Congrats on the phone.
