Umm my wife's a mom and she's waiting with baited breath for hers to come. Having said that I get your points. They shoulda had a side by side I4 showdown.
Android needs something like the apple commercials the ones with the old guy in a suit vs young hip guy. Maybe compare the apple empire to a totalitarian dictator, non-I tunes media NEIN!
That commercial was so good until the mom thing... wtf? My mom held my phone and didn't know how to even make a call on it. She couldn't even open the keyboard.
My girlfriend doesn't even know how to open the keyboard right. Come on man...

I've had the FX network going in the back ground for the past few hours, the commercial has been on several times so far. I'm thinking the mom thing can be attributed to the holidays coming up.

lol maybe... sike i kid i kid. It's funny because there was a thread saying this phone needed more marketing and now we have this which basically says we're all stay at home mom's lol jk
I love the ad but the fact that they tag this a moms phone kinda sets it back compared to other phones from a marketing standpoint.. if your a guy around my age (22) and don't know anything about the G2 and see this commercial would u trade your iphone or evo for the G2.. I'm jus sayin!!

Well, I've heard of reports of the G2 (which has the same processor) going up to 1.6ghz and maintaining stability.
nice! 1.2+ ussually reboots the evos :-( it be nice to port the rom and kernel this thing uses but since it has a different processor dont think it would be much of a benefit.
Seems too much like the Evo to warrant much excitement from me. I'll wait

Its really more of a rebranded, changed-hinge, G2/desire z than an Evo. I would assume its called the Evo Shift in the hopes of riding the Evo-love wave that sprint has going on.

I agree, I'm really not a fan of the blue-ish color nor the trackpad. It sort of just looks silly to me.
I think Sprint may be exploring the idea of marketing their Android phones as Evo's. Similar to Verizon branding their phones as Droid.
man this shift 4g section is blowing up ... Oh wait

I traded my evo for an EPIC 4g. Why you ask? Simple Sprint is cheeping the EVO name with the EVO Sh!tless.... IT is not an evo at all. It has smaller screen that is not the premium screen sizes of 4" and above as google said phone with 4" and above screens are premium. It has a slower cpu and all. To me this is like going into a Jag dealer and seeing a Ford for sales right next to my Jag.... Yep it ticked me off so much I had to trade my evo...

I used the stock root with eb13 with clocks work mod 3 with ext4. I like touchwiz, so what is a good ext 4 custom. After doing my ext4 conversion my quadrant score went from 949 to 1516....

I think he made the right decision regardless of the reason. The epic has a beautiful screen, great roms, and just got upgraded to 2.2 and 2.3 is around the corner either by official release or by CM 7. I'm just loving stock EB13 rooted right now.

So much this. The hardware keyboard is great, physically, too - the key skipping's no good, but thanks to mkasick that's much improved. Call me a fanboy, but the SAMOLED screen looks demonstrably better to me than just about anything else on the market. Even the iPhone's high-res IPS display can't match. I've seen several, they look... dull.

Cosign!!! So many times one of my iPhone 4 buddies will ask me about my phone and stare in amazement at my gorgeous screen with custom theme/icons/etc. It's as if they never thought that something could be better than their Apple product.. haha. If there's anything that will keep me attached to Samsung, it's their Super AMOLED screens. The S-AMOLED Plus screens are undoubtedly going to be a lot better in the future as well.

You traded your EVO because Sprint released the EVO Shift?? That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The name EVO is not synonomous with 4" screen and 1 ghz processor. Not to mention if you've played with the Shift you'd know its a really nice phone if you don't need the size of the EVO or a few other features.

Matter of opinion. ACS didn't even have an eb13 when Bonsai was running. Ext 4 has its problems and issues and I don't think battery life is positive or negative in relation to RFS.

evo once meant the best of the best for non keyboards. ]
epic is best of the best for keyboards
now sprint made the evo cheaper by having the evo sh!tless in the mix... Its a lesser device. google said only devices with 4" and above screens and at least 1ghz cpu are premium devices....
i played with the sh!tless and as the queen says.... we are not amused. It has a slower cpu and much much much much smaller screen the well wont get the ladies attention. With the Epic women always want your number....
TBH, I think Sprint/HTC are trying to live on the brand name of the original EVO by slapping the EVO name on the Shift, due to how well the original EVO sold. Sort of like how Verizon uses the Droid name on various devices on their network.
I came from the EVO to epic so im very familiar with evos style and how its handles as a smartphone but damn that EVO 3D looks very temping to go back.. and just in time for my yearly upgrade in july when it looks to be dropping i might just go plung for it and do like i do all my other phones including the epic and EBAY It...
how about the rest of yall? Nexus S doesnt appeal to me

then comes to question am i willing to go without a keyboard again.. ill have to look deeper into the display once it does hit the store.
I've been buying AMOLED devices since 2008.

definitely keeping the epic. it does everything and more I could possibly want from a phone. I'm not really buying into this whole 3d thing yet either.
It all depends on how good the screen & display looks.

The epic is the best smartphone they have right now. I do not consider a phone without a keyboard a smartphone. I can't stand when someone hands me a phone to type a message...setup some things etc...when it is a virtual keyboard.
Nothing to see here, move along. I'm keeping my Epic
I wonder how the 1.2 dual core does in quadrant scores and linpacks ............ lol with the extra boost of ram, thats what my main eyes on.. its a evo supercharged and i did miss my evo so i would love to see how it is.. samsung to me been a **** up, developers shouldnt work so hard to do what they shoulda had done right from first go around and im an all time htc fan...i love their quality hardware, never had a problem with em.. keyboard i will miss but, i can type better on glass than on samsungs skipped keyboard.... *even with the patches* :/

I would never pay retail price for a phone and I don't get upgraded for another 14 months.

Absolutely NO! Did you all see what happened to the Evo Shift? That thing benchedmark looooowwwww! And not to mention the down grade on the screen. Really? Htc, your doing it wrong.
And if the 3d looks like the nds, shot yourself in the nuts.

I can't stand the Epic. Ideally, I'd go back to iOS but Sprint doesn't have an Iphone. Anyhow, the answer is no. I'll probably get an EVO 3D.
I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .
