Why does the Epic test 'significantly faster data speeds than the Evo'? Can't see any featured that would account for that.
http://www.kevinism.com/?p=2588
Well, it has a keyboard, some people like the slightly smaller size, it has a keyboard and supports Bluetooth 3.0. If these are important to you, you're likely to think it better than the Evo.

i think you read it wrong:
"Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S sports numerous advantages over its T-Mobile “Vibrant” brethren. First, it adds support for Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network, which has already spread across numerous urban areas in the U.S. In testing with HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s next-gen network showcased significantly higher data transfer speeds (especially useful while tethering) and the ability to simultaneously make voice calls while transmitting data (not possible using Sprint’s traditional 3G CDMA)."
I believe its saying that testing done on the Evo 4g's 4g network shows significantly higher data transfer speeds than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which the author assumes will be the case on the Epic as well).
poor word choice by the author, but thats his intent. not saying Epic's 4g is faster than Evo's.
Ah... I think your right.... my bad.
The Epic just isn't sexy enough for me. It looks so cheap and old. The EVO is beautiful.
Completely agree.
Gorgeous hardware.
Along with the Iphone its easily the best looking smartphone on earth right now.....although. Ill take the Evo...most out pundits go with the Iphone in the aesthetic dept.
Not really a review as much as breathless fanboy anticipation. For all the vaunted prowess of the Hummingbird processor, all of the Galaxy S phones routinely display lagginess not usually seen on the Evo and the battery life claims as way overstated -- most reviews of the Vibrant and Captivate peg the battery life on par with the Evo and nowhere near double.
I don't think it looks cheap. I just thinks it's too round, I like the Evo's over all shape alot better.

Same. It's definitely not an "ugly" phone exactly... But it definitely doesn't scream "high end" like the EVO, iPhone 4 or the other Galaxy S devices. The keyboard could have something to do with it as well as the roundess. Honestly, I think the best looking Galaxy S device so far is the Captivate. I love the hard edges with the curved top/bottom. It looks very elegant and original and less like an iPhone knockoff like the Vibrant and the regular Galaxy S.
Its Samsung.. like the old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
I had a Moment. That was my one and only Samsung phone. Even if the Epic handed out BJs, I wouldnt buy one.

I don't think its fair to compare the Epic with the Instinct They are way too different and from the looks of it, The Epic looks really nice.

Second that. And third that. And fourth that. And can I get an eighth of that?
My wife went through 3 Motorola phones while I had my 1 Samsung SGH-P735. We just dumped her Cliq for an Espresso after 2 replacements. Plus Moto just sold their entire mobile devision to Nokia Seimens, IDK if they will even be a relevant brand in the next 5 years.
Yeah the samsung vibrant and captivate are beAutiful phone.
Looks like my information about Motorola are old, but still hate Samsung.
I have an what they call an ACE and the charger/speaker/USB jack is disconnected from the motherboard and everyone tells me its unfixable.
And my father has a normal Samsung phone and the software is so simple that it drives me nuts whenever he needs help.

Two points:
- They sold their mobile network equipment division. In other words, the equipment that goes in towers. Not their mobile handset business. The two are totally different, and selling one means nothing to the operation of the other.
- I think there's a pretty big difference between Moto's low/mid line phones, like the Cliq or Backflip, and their high end "droid" series. I think most original Droid users have been happy. I know my Dad has loved his. I don't think it's fair to say that because the Cliq wasn't a great phone that Motorola can't produce great phones.
I'm not a Moto lover or a Samsung hater. I think HTC, Moto, and Samsung all have elements they do well and elements they don't.

Thanks for clarifying about the sale, I wa misinformed. We were more upset about Moto's lack of customer service in addressing the issue of updates (1.5 for a year now) and failure to diagnose the multiple problems we were having. I have played with my friend's Droid X, and found it to be quite a phone: their higher end units are very well made. However, they do not put the same quality into all of their devices, and I prefer not to play lottery on a $300 phone.

I think the issue is that there have been no updates about sound for many months. With all the progress on bringing new Android updates to the TP2, it appears that sound has actually been forgotten.
Hearing the phone ring is a pretty big deal and is the biggest reason I haven't begun using Android exclusively. I know I will get hammered for this since these guys are doing all this great work for FREE but I know I would gladly pay to install Android on my phone.

You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Feel free to use this thread for general discussion related to the Rogers Galaxy Nexus
I've just HUP'd to a Galaxy Nexus, pretty excited to get it in the mail this week. I'm coming from an iPhone 4s.. I've been a die hard Apple fan but I did try some gingerbread phones before and didn't mind it, just had lots of touch screen issues/texting issues (timestamps) and found it to be a hassle.
Anyone else move from an iPhone 4s and want to share an opinion?

I think my main issue though was the grid of icons, using iOS for so long I just started to absolutely HATE it. When they included Notification Center I was happy, but I realized I never even used it like I did when I had my Infuse, because it didn't feel like a real part of the OS... just a place to go to clear notifications, not SEE them and interact with them.
It is honestly the best phone I have ever seen, everything is great on it. The quality and size of the phone makes the iPhone look like a toy in my opinion. Also ICS gives Android the polish that's its needed in looks and performance.

My main device is BlackBerry, but I have 2 lines. I have the HTC Amaze on my second line now. I love the Amaze but it's too heavy for me to carry both devices. There's only so many purses a girl could buy! I was messing around with the Galaxy Nexus this weekend and it's a pretty sleek device. I thought about getting the Samsung Galaxy SII because of the Exynos CPU, but I need a notification led light. BlackBerry spoiled me in that department. Besides the Galaxy Nexus, any other device I should consider? I need something that is light, thin and fast.

I got a new red s3 a few days ago and other than not being able to check for ot updates, I really like it. However, I have one big concern that has me wondering if maybe I should swap it out for a One X ($79.88 at wal mart). If Apple ends up winning the court case against Samsung, what will happen as far as future updates/upgrades/support? If Apple wins, apparently th s3 will be banned from future sales. And since they have already taken the local search function away, what other features are we likely to lose just to appease Apple?
Samsung and Apple will battle in court for the foreseeable future. The sgiii isn't going to get barred from being sold, at least not for any significant amount of time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I got mine
Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?
Umm they really don't have anything to go after the SGS3 for. It is not rectangular, it does not have uniform corners, and TouchWiz does not look like iOS, so what could the possible ban it for?
I know
I feel the same way. But you know how it is. I couldn't believe that Samsung took away the local search but they did. Apparently, pretty much everything from the icons to the touch screen is copied from Apple. But the s3 with its physical home button is the first Android powered phone to outsell the iPhone. Therefore it must go. Like I said, Apple got the Nexus tablet banned because it was too much like the iPad. I just don't want to be stuck with a phone that is constantly being stripped down bit by bit or completely removed from the market and nit supported at all. It's funny, though. The Apple TV sure looks like a Samsung to me. I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple?

You are on xda, you shouldnt worry about that. Devs here will do everything to add features back. atleast the common sense ones.
Even if something as far-fetched as banning the S3 does occur, I doubt that they would simply just stop supporting a device that sold over 10 million units.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
I mean really, Apple does not have nothing to stop the SGS3. The phone was designed to avoid being stopped by Apple. and even then, if they try to stop it via software, they cant, because all it takes is a software patch. hence the Galaxy Nexus.
When it comes down to it, Apple is scared. Android is light years better and they know it. They know that Google made an OS to rival theirs and did it better. So, if you can't beat the competition, then sue (sp.) their butt off! Apple will ALWAYS be a fanboy market...meaning all the die-hard robots that will do/buy whatever Apple tells them too. Meanwhile, Google will keep innovating and making their mobile OS truely the best on the market today.
ahh the beauty of living in canada us patents dont apply here! yippee! never have to worry about any of these stupid lawsuits. :good:
though even if they win, they cant really touch the sgs iii, apple is mainly targeting older samsung phones which imo did blatantly copy apple (talking about like the galaxy s originaly) , they have changed a lot since those days. id be surprised if they had any dirt on the siii.
They are scared of Samsung itself. They know that Samsung copied the iPhone, and lets be honest here, they copied the dam iPhone, but they produced a product a million times better than the iPhone.
Samsung has some great technology, which is why its one of Apple's "Key Partners". I have owned three Samsung devices in the last year and they all were really good. Samsung has what it takes, but it is being limited by Apple. Why do you think the SGS3 is so ugly looking? To avoid Apple and its lawsuits.

Looks better than the HTC X and the iPhone itself.
Apple deserves to win this case. Look at the points and cases they are bringing up against the Galaxy S 1. The UI was completely ripped off of them. In addition, Samsung's lawyers are a bunch of jackasses in court (read the Verge if you dont know what Im talking about). Now... some of the new patents Apple is getting are utter bull****. I was pissed when they tried to ban the GNex because of the search patent .

Guys you cant ban something that already has tens of millions in the wild. Apple is definitely worried, because Steve only left them so much on his notes he kept and the iphone train is going to run out of steam after the next 2 iphones you mark my words, that is all he left them.
Buy another phone if you want, nothing in life is certain, but I would not worry one minute and use the phone you want now. Its already the best thing out there as is, once JB rolls out its a done deal. They have a removable battery and SD slot, doesnt sound like an iphone clone to me...And who cares if they ban the S1, its a totally different phone and old as hell to boot, it aint gonna happen. They must stop it before its released or it just doesnt work.

Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?

Why do you need support from Samsung? Just root and install custom roms, my old HTC Hero on Telus took over a year to get an update from 1.6 to eclair, but by then I was already running a custom rom.
I didn't mean to start an apple vs Samsung vs one x discussion. Honestly, I am amazed at how far mobile phones have come since I got my first Motorola Star Tac when I was in the military. I am just concerned about the future of my s3 in the event that apple wins in court. That said, I can see where apple is coming from. However, without competition from other manufacturers, there will be very few more advancements in the industry. Especially if every time someone produces a product that may or may not be better than apple, apple sues that company into submission. Imagine how it would be if car companies did the same thing. Or even something as simple as clothes detergent. My concern is not whether or not Samsung "will" support the s3 but whether not they will be able to due to restrictions placed on them by the courts that may prevent them from having the ability to support and improve on the s3
