Samsung's Epic 4G Commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPktfRx2fgc
Master Chief!!

Thankfully Samsung is handling this ad and not Sprint. Not as good as the Vibrant ad (Avatar helped) but it will certainly garner attention that's desperately needed.

That commercial is awesome, it makes me want the Epic and Halo: Reach more. Both are gonna be Epic!

I think the commercial was stupid, but not any worse than other phone commercials.
Starts out with intense Halo action cut scene, *but wait* its actually video thats being played on a cellphone!
Don't really say anything about the phone itself other than the s.amoled screen. Nothing mysterious like the Verizon Droid commercials that leaves a lingering sense of curiosity.
More like they are saying "look at this awesome game coming out, now look at this awesome phone!"

I agree. I thought the commercial was kinda dumb and I doubt anyone will buy the phone based on that.

Looking back ... Samsung/ Sprint let this phone get steam rolled by the Evo ....
just wasn't right .... then i think we all remember the whole Froyo wait they promised it a month after release but ended up taking a few months well.... then we said "oo they took so long with Froyo ... they're sure to release GB soon" ... Lol look where are we now -_-
Samsung's motto should be "Same **** different day"

LOL ... cool commercial , I had not seen that before ...... maybe they gonna use a Transformers clip for the Prime ?

My MWC woes.

I'm gonna be in jail clearing up a warrant starting today. Which means no pathetically slobbering over engadgets live blogs. And already the small leaks leading up to it are so good!
Maybe they'll have the internet in there after all, they are like hotels nowadays

LOL! well good luck to you! stay out of trouble from now on! lol

elegant: I know I'm really gonna have to cut back on the terrible crime of turning left into the right hand lane
shroomz: that would be excellent. just to make it irritating for the mail guy, send one for each update.
metal: hopefully only a week... but could be a month or more depending on which way the judge goes hahaha.

Good luck to you man, I know how bad jail sucks. Best piece of advice I can give you- don't drop the soap

hahaha its washoe county.
A. They probably don't have soap.
B. 80 of people in there are weekend warriors for possession of marijuana.
C. I pity the fool that tries to give me a log ride if I were to drop the soap.

Good luck m8.... you'll be fine. Just remember, the first thing you do is find the biggest Guy that's in your cell block/pod... what ever they call them now.
Hit him square on the chin... this can have 2 outcomes. Both a plus!!!
1. He drops like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own cell for a bit and no one will f with you.
2. He smiles, drops you like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own bed in the hospital wing and people will think your crazy and have some kind of death wish.
Win... Win... plus you'll have a great story to tell either way, right?
Anyway here's a link you may want to check out.... I think they over night...

I know my way around a jail a bit. So no internet, listen to the tank boss, stick to your own kind white on white, black with black, etc... always brush your teeth before morning chow or you will get a beatdown. Lastly find out which toilets are for what. One will be for pissing, one for ****ting, and one for washing clothes. Don't mess that up. Good luck.
The EVO you wish you had

Why not show up with a bondsman and skip jail until the court date?
Pay it in full you get it all back if you show up to court.

Better do those taxes with turbotax. You'll get your refund in a week so you can pay those fines.
Take your Evo and disassemble it and smuggle it in your anus like some people do. You can also train a pigeon to drop it off in the yard.

So the site of a dude's hairy cornhole which you're about to go to town on is less offensive than some plaque on his teeth? There's a hefty amount of rationalization going on in jail.

Does the Xoom.......

let me see through objects with the camera?

No but it can let you time travel. Unfortunately your safety is not guaranteed under the factory warranty.

Pervert...

it's not as good as the Ipad then!

But it can see around corners.

While the Xoom camera is not able to allow you to see through solid objects (and I'm pretty sure the iPad can't either) it can turn into an x-wing fighter. Not sure how useful that feature is to you though.

Mine transformed into a stove top and started cooking bacon... surprisingly I got a speeding ticket as well.

But don't you have to spend hours searching the supermarket for exactly the right type of bacon?
Because, I heard it only cooks low profile bacon, which has to have a precise ratio of protein, to fat, to sodium nitrate.

Yeesh, what a ridiculous thread. I mean, who cares if Motorola promised that the Xoom would appoint the next Pope and end entropy for all time, but those won't be coming until sometime in the coming months? The iPad 2 will never be able to do those thing!!!

Mine doesn't do anything special. It just apears to be a regular notebook so if i leave it somewhere, nobody ain't gonna steal it

You mean it doesn't even have the fingerprint recognition so that if someone DID try to steal it they are sliced to pieces by lasers? I always thought that was standard!!?!!

Xoom can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

Xoom knows how to get to Sesame Street.

I call mine Xoom Norris. Any questions?

My Xoom travelled back in time to 2003 was seen by someone that knew a designer from apple and that word of mouth eventually spawned the iPhone then iPad!

To me it seems ridiculous that he was a bystander that just happened to be there and decided to catch it on tape. How is that illegal? Nothing he was doing was illegal at all. To top it off the cops pull guns on him? Sounds like Miami police has problems.

I find it impressive that he was able to get the micro-sd card out of the evo fast enough. That thing tends to be a pain to remove let alone when you are in a hurry.

One of the users in the comments read this in a article.
"He didn't have a weapon. He hit a police officer earlier that day with his car. The officer was not severly injured and was part of the five that took part in this shooting. They found him later that day, surrounded him, yelled at him to put his hands on his head, and proceeded to unload 90 bullets on him, four innocent bystanders were hit by the cops during this exchange."
Sounds to me they have some really bad cops.

Unfortunately anybody can be a cop nowadays...and that's what happens when you give power to week minds, it's abused.
No offense to cops, i'm sure there are good ones also it's just that the pre-requisites to becoming a cop should be harder and more particular imo. Then again, there is already a shortage of police. So what can you do.

Pretty soon well see iPhone owners use an new and revolutionary pull down notification too.
That's pretty bad, cops pointing thief guns at the bystanders. I don't see anything wrong with recording their actions. Its should be encouraged.

Believe it or not but I never had any negative feelings towards ios until the announcement of ios 5. Pretty amazing how gullible people are and apple feeds on it perfectly...
I can see why cops wouldn't want this posted on the internet, since it could potentially show their faces and make them vulnerable, but imo that just comes with the territory. They have all that power and it's only right that ordinary citizens have some sort of check on them

I from Miami and the police there is more crooked than a broken finger.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

There is no way he took the sd card out while the video was being shot, because you have to remove the battery. This would turn the phone off, which means he can't be recording like he is till the end..

Cool story, bro......

Well ladies and gentleman I did the unthinkable. I was going to hold out for the galaxy s2 but I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the EVO3D. I just want to say thanks to devs, trolls, mods, friends, cool kids, baby mama's and daddies, all the people who accepted the GB OTA especially the one guy who keeps making accounts asking for root, people who helped me, people I helped, people who annoy me, people that love team win, people that despise team win, people that create pointless threads like this one, and anyone else I left out that made these evo forums awesome!!! See you on the other side.....
First impressions: Only having the phone 1 hour I can say right now that the camera button and 2d/3d switch is already driving me insane. I hold my phone with my left hand and my fingers rest on it. I HATE IT, I HATE IT so effin much lol. Other than that the phone is godlike.......

The camera button bothers you only because you aren't used to it. After you get used to it, if you use the camera, you're gonna love it.
I didn't know you ever had a kickstand to begin with....zing!

The fact that on the evo 3d the charging port/ hdmi port is one in same makes it a no go. At least with evo 4g you can stream Netflix, HBO go and other internet streaming sites while still charging the phone makes it a plus. That phone will be 99 bucks after Christmas.

Being a over the road trucker must truck stops have free high speed wifi. I have a 387 peterbuilt truck with a 32 inch flat screen mounted so streaming movies saves a ton on entertainment. They want 26.99 for a new release DVD... No way.... So for me the evo 4g is where I will be parked for a while and if I do upgrade I will still keep the phone for that purpose ... I think there will be much better phones offered in 2012.

Same here. I cannot stand Sense. I actually played with an EVO 3D, and comparing it to my rooted, fully decked-out AOSP running phone, honestly it wasn't much faster either.
I'm sure it will be blazing once root is achieved and it has proper support, but my LauncherPro was certainly faster than Sense 3.0, apps loaded about the same speed, the browser pinch to zoom was almost exactly the same.
I'm sure for flash videos and graphics-heavy games it would certainly make a difference, but aside from that, a rooted EVO 4G easily matches the speed of a stock EVO 3D.
