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.

[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

Sent From My Verizon PRL Powered Evo 4G!

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.

It's got some nice additions, ie sdcard slot, kickstand, and larger battery, but it's definitely not as sexy.

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!

Your input SGS3 to buy or not?

Father's Day is coming, so is the S3 and Evo LTE. My contract expired in April and I'm eligible for an upgrade. So my wife asked me, do you want me to gift you the S3...
I am perfectly happy with the S2 and beside the NFC of S3 I'm not too thrilled. The question is: (a) get the S3 or wait for something special might pop up around Christmas time?

I would get the s3. Even just to play around with on wifi if you want to use your e4gt still. I plan to do this, as I get (ok) wimaxx but am not anywhere near any of the first roll out areas for lte. Just my suggestion. This phone is great, but I want to play with that new too lol. If you are near lte tho then it is no question. S3 imo.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch

there already a few threads open about this fellas..

It's the next "big thing" so I would get it unless you are considering the iPhone 5. You could always get it and sell it on Craigslist for like $600 and keep your S2.

I don't know, the ET4g and sprint in general have left a bad taste in my mouth with radio issues... I'm thinking my next phone will be a HTC or maybe a moto.

Man I would LOVE those speeds. I'm at around 3.5-4.5mbps on a good day. 3g is horrid tho, under .1 sometimes, as high as .4 rarely. In the process of reading up on the PRL tweaks tho, that should help a lot on my 3g. But I'm that guy that reads everything about stuff before I try it, so I'm slow

My strategy is, IF I get the s3 (kinda doubtful), the decision that would make the most sense, would be to WAIT until LTE is fully deployed and active in your area. If not, you will be stuck on 3g for quite a while until it happens, whenever that might be. Don't be in a rush. I know how hard that is to practice when you're a xda kind of person, but that makes the most sense to me on many areas. So many people are very frustrated with 3g performance lately, it wouldn't be logical to force yourself into that mode for god knows how long. For me, the deal breaker is the camera with the not such a big deal improvements done to it. Yes, faster camera is better but no substantial improvements with low light, better f stop, I will pass. When I had it, I loved the iPhone 4s camera, but the cons outweighed the pros IMO. Even if you have to wait up to another year for LTE, the s4 might be around then and I would hope that one would be a lot better than the 3. With my experiences with a couple of htcs, they are too temperature sensative and prone to hardware failure issues when compared to all the samsungs I've owned. I'm not a Samsung fan either, I've just had much less problems with them and they're much easier to do custom things to like rooting and roms.
Besides, you said it yourself, you're happy with what you have already. Also, pentile s3 screen, eww.

Well if you know you want that phone get it asap so your new contract starts being used asap.... Means new upgrade sooner down the road. I just got mine in October or whenever the iphone came out. Personally the s3 and the galaxy nexus are the only two phones that I would consider over the et4g. As you can tell I am alittle partial to Samsung as all my previous phones who weren't Samsung I've had problems with excluding the HTC sensation

Might trade my iphone 4 for this phone.

Does it still have the crappy signal/gps issues? I had it earlier this year and it was frustrating, so just want to see how things have been since then with all the updates and such....

gps sucks. it takes a long time to connect. and i have this issue where the phone fails to connect to 3g when 4g disconnects. super annoying.
get the sgs3 or evo 4g lte.

Umm no. My phone does not have those problems. Running aokp stable 4 with fh13 modem

You guys are all saying its works fine and like a million other people are complaining when I googled it lol. I'm just bored with my iphone 4 and my sister took my evo 3d, So I need something to get my android fix with lol.... no upgrade til december.

Having played with a galaxy s3 in the mall, I'd say go with that. Read that section in the forum to see what issues there are. After going from a 4s to the e4gt, I miss the 4s camera and the better quality sounding audio output. I've had this one for nine months now and the screen burn in is getting on my nerves. Going to pen tile displays was samsung's choice for screen lasting longer and less apt to burning. I didn't notice a screen door effect on the s3 either. Even though the cameras are virtually the same, I can see how having a faster focus helps in certain situations with the s3. Its low light is noisy though like lots have mentioned.

Its the way things goes on in consumer world. More noise is created by people who's stuff is not working. I work for verizon fios and we only hear 5 to 10% customers call in to complain but some might come to wrong conclusion that fios always breaks. Thats how it is. I have had no issues with my e4gt. Love everything about it.
