[Q] Want to trade my Epic 4g For an EVO. - Epic 4G General

I live in South FLA Ft Lauderdale area. I will be getting a new Epic from sprint tomorrow so there will be no cosmetic damage. I am looking for an even exchange for the HTC EVO. I am still a fan of the epic but realized I like the bigger screen of the EVO and dont need the keyboard. If interested please let me know. Thanks.

Epic rules. Evo just looks pretty.

not here to debate you on the issue, just if someone is interested.

Why not ask this on the Evo forum group? Assuming you didn't already. Either way you go your going replies that you weren't looking for.
Craiglist might be your best bet.

Why would u put this in the epic forums and not the evo. Also why would u want to downgrade? Just cuz it has a slightly bigger screen. I guess. The epic just rules!!

Trade for evo anyone??

I was looking for someone who wanted to trade there epic 4g for my evo 4g its brand new I just got it from sprint. Any one interested let me know.
If you just bought it, don't you have a 30 day return on it?
Plus, the "there", along with the runon sentence doesn't bode well for the seller/trader's credibility.
First: I just got it in the mail because I replaced my old one. Second: thanks for the language tip lol

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.
Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

I was just gonna say check on Craigslist. I started looking fairly late in the evening, and ended up trading my Epic for an Evo the next morning. Shouldn't be too hard.

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.
why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?
I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.
I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.
Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

Actually that is exactly my thought about the whole thing.

My (like) NEW HTC EVO for your Samsung Epic 4G

This might be a hard one, but dammit if I'm gonna try. First off i live in Oregon, Portland area.
My EVO has been a trooper ever since launch day. But, JUST THE OTHER DAY I got the screen and outer gloss casing replaced under warranty. so it looks just DAMN new. pretty much new. So there isn't a scratch at all.
What I'm looking for is a Samsung Epic 4G. It needs to be in good condition, meaning no scratches and the latches need to be flawless, and the keys cant be worn off. My EVO is just as pristine.
I will include the original box and stuff that came with the EVO. Also, a rubber outer case, which I found to be the best for everyday use. My EVO IS ROOTED. So you can have all the fun with that...
Hate Samsung's TouchWiz interface? Give HTC Sense a try! Trust me, its better...
IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON ALL THE FROYO ACTION WITH YOUR EPIC, THEN THE EVO IS YOUR THANG!
The only reason I'm doing this is because my mom just got an Epic, and I ended up liking it a lot, and want to make sure i can help her out with it if i ever need too. There is nothing wrong with the EVO.
**If you would like me to install a custom rom on the EVO, I can do that too to sweeten the deal, if you want.** *currently has Cyanogen Mod* tell me what you want, you want stock? Will do. You want stock but rooted? My cup of tea. I'll make sure you going into a new EVO will be a good one.

****. Well, I live in Olympia, WA. Let me think about it a little bit. I'd of course like to meet up somewhere and make the trade. For reference there is one defect with my Epic and that is that the Micro USB port sliding cover thing has been stuck since day 2 of having the phone. Let me know now if that is a dealbreaker but I'd definitely need to think about it.
Also, right now my Epic is running a leaked Froyo build, Mammon's Bonsai4all Rom with ext4 and no journaling, as you can see from my sig its quite blazing (I know people get wierded out by quadrant sometimes but if you go read the thread on bonsai4all you'll see my results are quite typical).
Olympia isnt that bad! Can you post or PM me a picture of the "defect"? Im interested in trading with you and your Epic. I'm free all next week.
I have owned two EVOs in the past one had screen seperation issues, both had at least one dead pixel. Does yours have any of these issues?
none of these issues, as i have a new screen and outter gloss cassing bracket on the EVO.
I am about to trade my epic for a white evo in a 1 hr
I owned a evo since release date but than traded it for the epic but the lack of support from samsung and a couple of bugs,I decided am going back to the evo,hopefully I don't regret it!!!but froyo and possible gingerbread official,I know we have leaked froyo don't tell me that ,but like I said leaked no source code yet so no is not at it full potential....
PM has been sent. .

so are you looking for a trade? Pm me!

Major Improvements of PRL xxx77

Attached below is the internal Sprint document of the recent improvements of the PRL.
Mainly for everyone who doesn't want to read and see the new coverage it turns on 3G Roaming in the following states:
- FL
- MI
- OH
- WV
- WI
- NC
"- PRLs expand 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming coverage in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
- PRLs also add Strategic Alliance Roaming (SRA) to portions of North Carolina. Customers will have a Sprint like experience for voice and 3G services, meaning the roaming light will be off and billed as on-network."
I'll also be writing an article describing in details exactly what is going on.
Glad to see you on here still bro
Good deal! Thanks for this...

Mine was finally able to update yesterday, do I still need this?
Sent from Maxwell's shoe.
Of course I'm still here.
(I didn't sell my Epic)
Instead, I am going to give my Epic to my mom and use her upgrade to get the EVO 3D. When I was in CTIA, the EVO 3D blew me away. It truely is the best device on the planet at this time.
So this is for only people that live in those states?

I apologize, I misunderstood. By reading the document I thought it came out last week.
Thanks for the clarification.
I updated mine manually.
I updated mine manually since I can not receive ota updates due to the fact that I am on a custom ROM. There is a thread on how to do it in the development section. Below are the file you will need to update you PRL manually.
Thanks for posting this... always nice to see the text to go along with my analysis I do.
Now only if they would mention the dirty little tricks they do while roaming

I knew u couldn't leave us this early lol =). I been bashing the Evo 3D too as I'm not impressed with 3D & just simply being tired of all these UI's that bloats the phone down & makes getting updates seem impossible. I was either gonna keep my Epic or get the Nexus S, but the one reason I may get the new Evo is for Netflix! Also, HTC really surprised me too with the dual core processor, I really thought they were gonna throw the 2nd gen Snapdragon in it & call it a day. Now my only worry is will HTC lock down the bootloader, as they been hinting around that they're gonna start doing it going forward.

Yup, EVO 3D is the first with the 8660 processor. It will have NetFlix support. And alot of people misunderstand 3D. The phone runs in 2D, but certain applications have 3D support. Sooner or later everything will supoport 3D, but not right awhile.
The EVO 3D runs soooo smooth. I have a video of it running and it is a amazing. The new HTC Sense is awesome. I LOVE HTC Sense, I have always been an HTC fan, but the Samsung Epic impressed me too much to pass up. I had the HTC Vouge, and I made the first M2D custom rom for it, and I was the first to perfect it. The HTC Hero was my next and the Sense on that was incredible. I now see that the EVO 3D's Sense has surpassed all my expectations. I work with all the Sprint phones so I get to use everything, and by far the EVO 3D is greater then all. The LG Thrill and the Moto Atrix has nothing on it.
Trust me, the 3D is not a gimmick. This is legit and awesome! I will be getting it the day it comes out for my personal phone. HTC Sense, may be bloat to some, but it is by far the best UI out and even better then Launcher Pro IMO. I know I'll get hate mail for that, but Sense is the best UI out for Android currently.

That's a huge downgrade. There's a thread on here about how terrible the epic is compared to the Shift. Get a 3vo!
the only thing that sells me for the epic is the screen size and color and the ffc.. everything else IS better on the shift. x100

opinions about what to do please help

hello everyone I just want everyones opinion about phones... i know since we all have/had epics we all want keyboards and more than likely are all about samsung but right now im in a predicament on my phone i have the ns4g right now but ive had so many problems with it and asurion told me ive had too many replacements the next thing to do is i need to buy a nexus s at a sprint store for full retail and they will send me a check for whatever i paid as soon as i fax them the receipt... but i asked the guy if there was any other phone i could get instead of the ns4g since ive had so many problems and he told me i could get the evo 3d... now im not a fan of htc but would you consider the evo3d a upgrade? somethings it does have better buy others not... then i went online to the sprint store and saw the evo3d and the ns4g have 549.99 price tag and the epic touch is 499.99 and i asked him if i could get the et4g and he said that would be a upgrade and they wont honor it... but i asked to talk to his manager and hopefully they let me get the epic touch... but i was just wondering if you had the choice of the ns4g or the evo 3d what would you get?... im waiting for his manager to call me back sorry for the long post to read lol
damn 60 ppl have read this and no1 has a opinion to share ?
If you can't get the touch stick with the ns4g. I don't think the evo3d is much of an upgrade....I've never used it probably never will but I feel like the ns4g is just the better option. Can't get those amoled colors on an evo ill tell you that much
By the way this should have gone in the ns4g forum...as it pertains to such.

try and get the 4g touch, otherwise get the evo 3d and see if you like it, worse case resell it
Don't use the slide out keyboard much but the epic 4g is the phone i use and like had it for over a year no problems
