Ok So I just sold my Nexus and my Vibrant got here today.
I love it. There is a lot to love about this phone.
First the screen is amazing.
I love how the phone is light yet solid.
I think what I really most about this device is that if it breaks I can take it to a store and get it replaced. With my Nexus if something went wrong, I had to send it in to HTC and wait for them to send it back, me phoneless the whole time.
I have yet to notice the lag issues others complain about and I don't miss the trackball or the camera flash at all.
Clockwork is getting a recovery going and Wes Garner is Deving for it.
All is well in the world of Vibrant and I have not a single regret!
Awesome welcome aboard

I went from G1 to Vibrant. So I'm definitely joining this party
I too sold my n1 for the vibrant and I made agiod choice... I to like if it breaks much easier replaced...
Welcome to the Vibrant side! I'm still having a hard time selling my 3 week old Nexus One I only used it for 2 weeks worth. Never hacked or Rooted, and I have no bites. Oh well.... If I can't sell it I guess I now own 2 badass phones?

Heh, I got rid of my EVO for the Vibrant! A bit smaller screen, but SO much better! I can't wait for CM6.
Well I bought the Vibrant on day 1 of release..still have my N1, have a MyTouch Slide (my daughter is using it) and still have my G1 as well. I guess you can say I'm an Android phone collector. Whatever this "super phone" is that's rumored to be coming out in September..if its running Android I will add it to my collection as well.

+1 can't get over the speed .. and the screen is like
I still have my N1.. It is sitting in my car in my cool N1 car kit... I use it as a GPS and movie player for the kids... I am still up in the air on which phone I like better..
the Samsung because of the screen.. the N1 because of the trackball and 2.2...
I think the biggest selling points for me were:
TV out
In store customer service.
The screen.
That being said the N1 is an awesome device but right now is the time to sell it and it still have some resale. With Google Washing their hands of it, I fear what the Support will be like. I also like the dedicated GPU in the Vibrant and believe that once Wesgarner and company get CM 6 on it, it will be the fastest damn thing out there, till that dual core HTC Monster hits, anyway!
Been watching the development of the epic well where is it? But the phone sure looks purty. Cmon get her done already. I am tired of my wife asking when can I make my epic look as cool as your evo.

Lol gahuck it is cooler than your evo. Its been out 2 days duh
Haters gonna hate...
I had an Evo, I couldn't get past the compromises HTC made on hardware and build quality, as well as laggy interface issues.
Now with the Epic, I don't have to make those compromises, everything's like butter and it feels solid, no screen separation issues here.
I have both, the Epic grows on me more and more everyday. And by the end of this week, it'll be my daily driver. Gonna activate it and use my Evo as an MP3 player.

lol... +1
To be honest... when I pick up my EVO now, it feels like an old piece of junk. And you can make it look however you want. Just load in another launcher.
Except for themes... but themes are lame
I personally cant wait to see how developement goes for the Epic. My EVO is flying at the moment thanks to the great developers on XDA. Hopefully beofre too long my Epic will be the same, if not better! We shall see
Week one, what's the hold up
Shouldn't we have lots of development already done on this thing? I mean, it came out Tuesday folks. You expect me to sit on my butt idly waiting till next week or something? If I've gotta wait till October, I'm canning this thing and going back to my Palm III.

Haters lol, I own both of them read the post. I let my wife use the epic. All I asked is where is the development. And yes WOMEN like themes. And flowers. And romance but I guess that is gay 2. All I was stating is that the development for the evo was like bammm and still is. Whereas the epic is like blahhhh. Even the threads barely move. I'll go check over at sdx. Bunch of babies, this is not a thread about my dad is better than your dad.

Lol good one chillaxin. First time I have been called a redneck hillbilly. Yoyoyo sup mfrers? Is that better for you? I am actual fluent in ebonics lol. I have lived in Newark, NJ , Hartford, CT and Rochester, NY. And no my wifey is your cousin!!! lol
If any of you still have your Evo's, take a look at this video on each of your handsets side by side.

The difference is night and day. Our screens really do pwn the Evo's.
Development is kinda' now because the Evo was barely released a few months ago then the Epic came out.
If the Evo had been released a few short months after the Nexus One was released, development for the Evo would be on par with development for the Epic at this time. Hypothetically speaking.
all you guys need to chill out
naww but really the epic has been out for 4 days now and we've made great strides so far. The hero took about 4 weeks to get root and another 2 weeks to get its first rom. We have good devs that re willing to sacrifice their phones to try to bring these things here. So its no problem for me to wait patiently!
haters
Hey Pongoface,
I really wasn't trying to hate. Just thought I'd be my retarded usual self. I caught the jist of what you were saying and I'm definitely looking forward to being cooler than my Evo friends! Now the hill billy talk...I've got no idea where that came from.

wow, u sound like a little high school kid. Go back to playing your Halo and stop trashing the forums. The phone's been released for 4 days and you're getting impatient about the development? Why don't you grab a book on programming and learn something while you wait ;-)

Maybe I should. So much for playing devils advocate to start a spark. Yes Chill my comeback was childish. But your racist remark of calling me a hillbilly was uncalled for. If you don't think that the way you used the word is racist then you are sadly mistaken. You don't know me or my upbringing. Get off my thread if you have nothing good to say about development of the epic. Good luck to you chillaxin to the maXin.

Don't get too excited. Just because he built it and booted it doesn't mean anything works yet.
If that's what you call porting, I'm in the middle of doing it too.
I tried building the source, it currently fails. And I don't know enough about repo and git yet to work with a certain commit, it took me long enough to figure out how to switch my working branch, lol.

I am on board with the "choose a phone based on cm support" mentality. It allready feels like christmas now all we need is some gingerbread (;
and then there was root....
...and the primary reason I chose the G2 has finally started to see the light. I know what ill be doing this weekend. If my wife knew how to contact Cyan or teamdouhe, she would have some choice words for keeping me glued to my phone/computer 99% of the time I'm at home. I'm sure she regrets getting me the G2 for my bday haha.

Yeah, ask my wife about this. After ten years, she thought she had tricked me into buying a "smartphone" that was not a bb. Well I saw the support on and of this phone (G2).... the rest is history. Bootloops really drive her nuts, just means I get to spend another 30 minutes setting up a restore

My buddy had this great story in the same vein. He wasn't into phones per say, but he did have an addiction with COD for the PS3. I don't remember the exact details, but basically he had just finished fighting with his girl and he walked into the other room. He said he turned on the PS3 to play and you know that little "beep" the console makes when you first boot up. Yeah, well his girl heard that and that sound was enough to refuel the fire of the fight. Makes me laugh because I know when I'm in a fight with my wife, I would much rather be dicking around on my phone or reading XDA forums. haha

I swear that everybody on here who has purchased a Shift got it for their "wife". What's going on here?
Got mine for my daughter, but ended up keeping it for myself and giving HER the evo. LOL

I got the EVO SHIFT bec. it felt pretty good in my hands, just like my good ol' HEROC. As for the EVO, I got it for my wife since her upgrade came first and she loves it!!!
I got one for both me and my wife

My situation exactly.
Ordered one for my wife, but haven't gotten it yet. Just used my upgrade for the Evo so no chance of getting one for myself for at least a year. And there is no way the wife would switch, she hates the size of the Evo.
My wife wants the Shift.
Before that she wanted the Moment (big mistake that I remind her of every time I use her phone! and every time it locks up, and every time it reboots on its own, and every time she wants to use GPS - she just HAD to have the slide out keyboard . . .) Hopefully full root and nand unlock will come to the Shift soon. Then she'll be getting one!

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.
