So I finally made the switch from the Evo and I must say this Epic phone is quite powerful. The screen the graphics the processor are much more notably better/faster. I've never had and android with a keyboard but it just feels soooo good clicking those keys haha. Who else thinks this phone is badass.

Welcome.. Now.. go and root.. set it free.. flash the kernal and flash clockwork..
i really like my phone. I got an evo for my girl so i was always torn since i've played on hers a ton. Both phones are amazing but when i saw my first SGS (vibrant) the screen sold me regardless of the bad ass hardware specs.
I originally had an EVO. I bought the Epic and gave that EVO to my fiance. She liked it at first, but when she played around with my Epic, she wanted one too. So I bought one for her and now I have an EVO sitting around that nobody wants to use...

Well, at least for the EVO, there is work being done on that by toast and etc, obviously no ETA whatsoever, and anyone who expects there to be one is crazy, as just reading about the steps that are needed to do anything with it hurt my brain very, very badly. A bit of a bummer for sure, but I do not live in a 4G market anyway (I almost never use 3G anyway, wi-fi most places I go, only use 3G if I'm on the bus), so that's not a problem for me.

I have 4g, so I wouldn't use CM on any 4g phone until it works
In that case, good thing the Epic doesn't have CM or MIUI, ha
I'm super hesitant to upgrade to the Evo right now. I have my Hero with CM6 and love it and I have been looking through the Evo threads and I'm not sure I will like the Evo now. I can't even seem to find the best way to root it. I never thought I would say it but I don't wanna leave my Hero!

Hboot 2.02 S-Off Like a Boss Edition for the newer hardware revisions... it's almost as easy as rooting a hero using the old asroot method. Alot about an hour and half until you are running your final chosen rom (including time for nandroid backups et al)
Picked up my HTC evo today. 4 days sooner than i planned. getting rid of my HTC hero(will be missed.... NOT) but im having issues with the camera so i still gotta wait to root it and nand, flash roms.....
Welcome to evo land. Its a good time to join us.lots of exciting things coming up very soon (cm74g , mui4g ect.)

lol no. i was in dover nh when i got it. i love the phone just my Flash is broken.
Welcome. At the time, I really enjoyed my HTC Hero. I previously had an HTC Touch with a winblows OS, so android was a wow moment for me.
There's alot of great devs and support for the EVO. It think it what sets this phone apart from any other. Good luck and enjoy (when you get your flash fixed).

Welcome, we've got some good stuff, like one click root, more roms than you could need, miui, cm7, and sense out the wazoo. What are you thinking of doing to your new toy? A little cm or are you a sense fanatic like me?

im a Sense freak. i am gonna go with myn's warm rls5 with slayer69 cyan dragon theme.
i was thinking if i tried to flash it to see if i liked it and to see if it would fix my LED flash problem. but idk how to UNROOT the evo like i did with the hero. cause idk where to get the RUU for the evo. its on there main site for the hero but not the evo. just tells me how to hard reset by holding the volume down and power on and clean drive.
If you want instructions on how to unroot the EVO this thread on this site talks about it and has links to instructions on what you need to do.

I've had an EVO since launch day but I just bought my dad one over the week. He's upgrading from the RUMOR so it's a big step up for him. Radioshack had a promo over the weekend. Turn in your old phone and credit a $50 dollar credit for either a new EVO or EVO shift. So total it was only $150 plus tax out the door.
Also new to the EVO forums, got it today, cant wait to get home an root-root-root.
And flush my Hero into a drawer for emergencies.
I'll be seeing ya'll around here. ;-)

Welcome to the evo family as well. I'm waiting for a question answered on my other thread before I root.

Welcome, I love my EVO
First time poster, long time reader, just wanted to hi and that this forum site is awesome. I rooted my phone three days ago and today I'm running and loving mikfroyo 4.5. Thanks to all!!
Welcome, try cm 7
I bought an Evo almost entirely because of our dev community.
Currently running MikFroyo 4.5 with Slayer's Dragon Theme (it is badASS) but I've run quite a few others. Huge CM fan (it's been on all my rooted phones at some point.
Great devs, great phone, adequate service. Yeah, I love my Evo
Plus, we have a Honeycomb rom being cooked up by AndroidBall. Excited about that as well
lucky you. i cant run the slayer69 dragon theme. its a SICK SICK theme toon. it just keeps crashing on me. but
Welcome to this old decrepit phone. In few months I'll be ditching mine. I'm just waiting to see what radio hacks develop for the cdma iphone.
Hello everyone! I have been a die hard hero user since the hero was released. I loved that little guy and thanks to all of you here at xda, my Hero was the funnest "phone" I have ever had.
Oh well you can't stop EVO-lution right? hahahaha OMG I love my EVO even more than I first loved my Hero!
Shout to Koni for making my Hero Hot back in the day(a year ago hahaha) and now making my EVO Elite.
run over by a car? poor Hero was destroyed!
I have a hero. You had no choice but to move up.
my 7 yr old girl.. is have a great time with my old hero... (no cell service)
I loved my Hero, it was revolutionary just like the EVO is/was. It's funny though, you didn't think the Hero was slow until you used the EVO
i loved my hero when i had it, shoooot, it even has gingerbread. i had to switch to a blackberry cuz something happened and i didnt wanna put a claim. 2 more months and i get an evo

In two months, it will be May... You might as well wait an extra 30~60 days and get the Evo's (or the Epic's) successor.

I came here from a Hero as well. I upgraded to the Evo and gave my Hero to my girlfriend. When she had me look at her phone for some reason I suddenly realized how small the Hero was. There's no way I could go back now. LOL
Welcome to what is probably the best section of the forums I've ever been to (coming from T-Mobile and their MyTouch Slide and G2 forums here). The death of your hero is a travesty and we shall all mourn it's passing.
I am also an occasional Elite user (I flash back and forth between that and MikFroyo), the guy does some great work.
Okay, after much hemmin' and hawin', my girlfriend has decided that she wants an Android phone to replace her aging Crackberry Tour. The phone has served she and I rather reliably for almost 3 years, but she played with her friend's Fascinate, she got wet for the Sammy. For some reason she hates my Evo and thinks it is too big. So it is down to the Epic 4G (because she wants a bloody keyboard). I am trying to talk her into either the Shift or the NS4G but that may be difficult. If I gotta get her the Epic, I will. I liked the phone when I had it for 2 weeks as a demo, but I know the support for it from both the Dev standpoint and the Android standpoint blows.
Either way she goes, the phone is getting rooted. Too bad she likes iOS, er Touchwiz.
Have you shown her miui?

Not yet. I may do that after I root it. If she doesn't like it, I will get her back to TW.
My son insisted on a keyboard too. I got him the Shift and he loves it.
The Evo is pretty damn big but my GF got one after her Epic had so many problems stock. I say avoid and get the Shift.

Just leave her phone stock. She could care less if its rooted, and it will save you the headache of dealing with her complaining when something goes wrong.

You say, "stock"? I guess it wasn't rooted?
As for the shift, I asked her about it and she hates my phone and that is just a smaller version of my phone with a keyboard.

Actually, she works in IT and she wants me to root it for her. She can TS her own issues once she has it and I show her a few things. I am not worried about her complaining. She is fed up with the Crackberry and the hybrids that she had loaded on it.
I got my wife the shift and she loves it.

My wife has a shift as well, so I rooted, etc for her. But, using that thing after using, and being used to, both the ogevo and Evo3D is a nightmare for me, lol. The buttons are NOT where my fingers think they 'should be', and every time I have to use her Shift, I just want to throw it through the nearest window. It IS fast, and it DOES run smoothly, however.
Sent from my Evo³d
i have a shift use it mostly for movies videos and shows. when the wife uses it she types away on the keyboard and likes it. good battery life also. ( after rooting and adjustments.)
Have her feel both phones one after the other. The shift feels just so much better.

Right out of the box, nothing done to it at all. It didn't make it through the 30 day return policy. It was more like 2 weeks.
Well, I gave her the phone last night and she loves it. It helps that it's rooted with the latest GB update.
I had forgotten how much nicer the Galaxy S screens were than the Evo.
