I have a feeling we will be hearing this A LOT, and I mean A LOT come FRIDAY JUNE 4th. So I though I would facilitate the excitement into one thread... For us brave ones who had to patiently wait till JUNE 4th. Ill most likely be posting where I got my EVO, time I got my EVO, length of time in line and my overall first impressions of this majestic beast!
*I do apologize ahead of time for the over use of exclamation marks (!)I wont be able to contain my excitement!*
Feel free to post your first Pics taken with or of the phone here...
Update: So I got it!!!!!!!
First of all I woke up with a hangover.....
as tired as I was I still woke up and drove to my local RS and I was the first one there. Eventually 28 other people showed up at 6:30 or so... I got my EVO first thing I did was throw a Zagg on it. My # has not yet ported so I havent even turned on the phone!!!!! I hate you AT&t!!!!!

Lol. Me too! My friends think I've moved to SF
Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold
Congratulations on a nice buy and I hope for your sanitys sake the postman arrives soon

Now that is great news. Let's get this thing rooted than
Did you unlocked the bootloader yet? For now I can't see the point actually so I think I wait till it has some advantages for us. Great to see you here too. As you now I am not a dev, the only thing I can do is make some graphical things for the eye and some (un)usefull comments
Man, waiting can be taking some time. I am out of sigarets (I know, bad habit), but I don't dare to leave the house for 15 minutes, because with my luck the postman will be here in that 15 minutes :lol
Welcome
Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"
@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...
Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!
does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?
480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...
If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader

My point was it would be more than one week, and you supported it
Re Fedex - what if the customs stop your package out of all, decide to open it, and then send you a bill for the customs fee? Such packages often spend extra 1-2 weeks at customs, and end up costing more to the recipients.
I have no info on the number of packages checked by the US customs though. I never ordered anything expensive from abroad. I bet the chances of customs intervention are very very low.

Looks very fast in that video, but in this video when its compared to the lg optimus 3d its dog slow, takes around 8 seconds to load the benchmark while the lg takes 1 second, could this be the dual channel memory advantage?

it could also be the pre-production model disadvantage. we will never know exactly what those pre prod models are doing and why they are so slow (relative to other dual cores PROD models). For sure Samsung has premature drivers on them, extra software that is logging everything for troubleshooting and performance follow up, etc. DO not even judge SGS2 by the pre prod models .

Lmao dual channel memory.. given that this LG has 512MB of RAM and that this "dual" thing means that it is cuted in two, there is not much left for it to shine vs the 1GB DDR2 RAM of the GSII...
it s just that it was a very early prototype of GSII, that's all story
Aren't they all prototypes? Even with paltry 512mb of ram that optimus 3d seems to load that game pretty quickly, almost too quickly you gotta admit that.
wow thank you for handtec link! I might actually buy it from there! thanks

Don't count on Sprint releasing it until late June. When the articles talk about Galaxy S phones they are mostly talking I9000 in Europe. Samsung releases the code to US carriers, they screw it up, Samsung tries to fix it, they screw it up some more, they release it, pull it back. Release it.
Do you BONSAI?
It sounds like even if it won't be untill late June they are trying to be more on the ball after making us wait so long for Froyo. I remember getting my Epic a month after it came out and the guy at the store reassured me that Froyo would be out by the end of Sept lol. Not that I don't take everything they say with a large grain of salt.
After trying out EE03 I'm very excited for GB to drop on the Epic

Waiting for october 22nd and then aweek later and now its what?
The end of november for the expected drop of gb?
I hope you all finally learned your lessons about listening to a bunch of dribble from people who want 15 seconds of fame on a website.
Gingerbread will come officially.
There will be no exact date unless samsung mentions it.
Stop waiting on the playbook everyweek.
Its obviously useless. Come on guys. Stop waking up at 6am refreshing evry minute on wednesdays. When its in the playbook, it'll be made public. Stop asking them everywednesday and Thursday if there's gb for epic.
Wouldn't YOU announce it the second you get the info? Wouldn't YOU get annoyed by the constant hounding the second you wake up because you have to constantly repeat the same thing to everyone (no gb this week)? Wouldn't it feel insulting to your intelligence when you say its not here this week and the next response is "did you read the whole thing?"
Um, I wouldn't answer a question with a straight "yes" or "no" if I wasn't sure. Id expect a majority to be the same, but that's obviously too flattering to the human race.
Please guys. Stop breaking your heads over gingerbread!
It WILL get here. Remember how long it took to go rom eclair to froyo. Do you really xpect samsung to release another update so fast with their obviously inadequate development team which took what? 7 months for the first official froyo? And then another month for an actual stable froyo?
You're all gonna get gray hair. Just chill back, flash one of the few gb roms out there, gt yourself familiar with the differences and then if you don't like it go back to froyo. If you do, then you should be satisfied till the official drop.
I, myself am running eh06 stock and have been sinceit dropped. Its as stable as ec05 for me. I get no reboots unlike everyone else for somereason, I can watch netflix no problem even on 3g, my battery lasts 20 hours.
If this is from 2 builds ago, imagine what official gb is gonna be like.
Its gonna happen soon
As for ICS official, forget it. Don't torture yourself even more.

I had flashed EH06 and seldom had reboots until about two weeks ago. Then it was one after the other. So, I flashed back to Stock--end of reboots. Then I rooted. Finally I used my wifes upgrade and got a ET 4G and gave her the epic. Had to do a reset on that to get rid of my account. It's nice to see 10 of 12 sats in use with accuracy to 9 ft again, and not a single reboot. I (she) can wait for the official. When that comes I'll flash the best rom the devs make for us. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the stuff out of my touch. 16 hours and still 36% of battery left. I figure I'll be able to use my upgrde about the time the Nexus Prime is released.

Yeah I'm not wasting my upgrade just for new software. My epic does everything I need and thensome. Including gps. I just came down to florida from nyc and the gps only crapped out in South Carolina for about 10 miles. Ofcourse, its a straight shot on the 95, but I felt it was the optimal oppurtunity to test eh06 gps capabilities since its a 20 hour drive.
Idk man iguess I lucked out with my epic. I can oc to 1.4 with no problems and run it at 100mhz without wake up lag.
However, if they gaveback the 1 year upgrades, I wouldn't be here right now LOL but I'm not wasting my last 1 year upgrade on a phone that's already been outdated by its own manufacturer (look at the Galaxy SII HD LTE in korea. Its basically the nexus with an exynos.)
Its hard to believe I stuck with my bbcurve for more than 2 years before I upgraded (lol) now phones are being released like candy :/

Since we got the official kernel source and the GPS fix posted I've been feeling pretty good. I've been running EH17 stock with the mkasick kernal and gps fix for a few weeks now and it's so smooth fast and stable it's almost boring. But a good kind of boring! Official gingerbread will be an anti-climax.

I only flashed my first gb rom yesterday, after reading gb rom threads for the last three months, I never saw one that, given the issues, was worth using on my daily phone that just has to work. We all love to tinker and play and get the latest greatest, but its astounding how some of the people here behave. The amount of crying and whining and whining about whining and temper tantrums reguarding this issue is disheartening and disgusting. Just my two cents. It seems that the animosity around here is unusually high lately, and the patience unusually low. Despite that, I have to thank everyone who has been kind to my n00b self, and there have been plenty.

Like I'm standing at the front door of Michelle's house and her mom is telling me that she isn't going to play (doctor) with me because she's over at the new kid's house playing with him.
Stupid new kid.
That's how you made me feel.

How do I feel? Like some people here should get a life outside of their phone. You want Gingerbread...put on a freakin GB ROM. There are plenty and no reboots with the new kernels. Or trade your phone for an HTC piece of crap, gingerbread with plenty of bugs. Either way quit whining, man up and grow a set. Too much freakin estrogen in these threads lately.

part of the reasoning behind this failure to provide an update has to be to force people to the newer model Epic, right? it can't be a coincidence that a GB OTA hasn't been released in the weeks following Samsung's next cornerstone device. Why would they run the risk of getting a 15-month old device remotely on par with one that's only been out a few weeks?
Im betting that we dont get GB untill they have moved on to 2.3.7 or so. Dont really care. Definitely wont buy another samsung device after my Epics life is over.

True, but you're guilty of being on here a lot too.

Lot of free time between jobs...LOL. I am on here to help people looking to make their phone better but lately getting real sick of the whining. It seems some of the people have absolutely nothing going on in their lives but to make threads crying over not getting Gingerbread. I can imagine how they whine over not getting winning lottery numbers at their local store...after all the Lottery says all you need is a dollar and a dream.

I haven't read any of this thread. But I'm responding to the title:
I could care less. We have source. Great things are coming. Boo hoo to all the people who want gingerbread on stock epics, get out of here. Sammy did, in a way, exactly what we wanted them to. Gave us source. They also saved their own asses and didn't have an ota for the people who don't give a crap about gingerbread.
