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

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.

I bet you can find that trade, maybe post on craigslist and the epic forum too

Gl with dat......hehe
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

Lol i REALLY think you should reconsider. I have both an epic and and evo and even with cyonogen mod the evo doesnt compare. Youll gain .3 inches and lose amoled for that fugly lcd riddled with backlight bleed and that infamous patch. Youll be downgrading hardware a whole generation... sorry man im sure you dont care but i dont want you do something you WILL regret. Run a search other people here have done it and admit they shot themselves in the foot.

there are plenty that have and loved the change to evo.. and consider it an upgrade in usability.
my sis has an epic. her battery died, so she had to borrow my evo to take a few pics of her daughter...
15 mins after using my phone...
she says as she hands my phone back, "wow, your phone is so easy to use."
things just work better and together...
ex: I can talk on my phone and take a picture at the same time.
there are much more choices in the development community...much bigger than epic.

That's YOUR opinion. I traded my evo for an epic and switched back to the evo. I think the Evo is a better device or at least, more suitable for my needs. The Epic has too many software issues.

See thats also YOUR opinion. Also your epic might of been ****e cuz as far as im concerned that evo i have is collecting dust and there isnt anything i need it for. Maybe to show people at work who dont know any better how outdated it is. People still think the evo is the be all end all of phones. Here let me show you this shiny epic in my pocket lol

I believe they're both great phones, it really just boils down to what you want out of your phone.
Good luck with your search!

Yea epic just had their upgrade pulled because of about of issues....
My wifes epic can't take pictures in low light, freezes phone in certain camera modes, no good asop roms, no gingerbread...
Sorry evo has way way more development to make it exactly how you want it.

The Epic does have an "awesome" slide out keyboard though, but it skips keys when you're typing.

hardware wise... epic has the specs to kick ass... and that is where it stops!
EVO.. everything else is better.. and works together...
oem support
sprint support
dev support (hands down kills epic 20 times over)
example of everything works together...
Epic..can you take pics and talk on phone at the same time? does that not sound something it should do?

No, both suck! Shift is a cheap plastic piece of crap with only an 800 Mhz processor. It felt like I was holding the old Sidekick. My Mother-in-law has the EVO and playing with that versus my Epic, I prefer my keyboard to the on-screen one. The EVO screen was a little bigger but that was about it.

Evo who? Na I would buy another epic over the evo!

Why do you assume anyone would be jealous? Are you projecting your own feelings upon us? It's common, but something you should look into because it's not emotionally healthy to do that. It will make relationships very difficult until you truly take ownership of your projected feelings.
I'm jealous of neither. They simply exist as other options which appeal to people other than myself at various levels of desire.

it's not the fact that he asked the question, it's how he assumes we are automatically jealous of one of the phones. I am not jealous of either phones, so, I said no.
That being said, of the 2, I would rather have the regular evo... I guess.

I am not jealous of either, especially the shift. Each phone has its own ups and downs. And from my personal preference the Epic is by far the best. I played with them both and my biggest reasons are the display and speed. To me the Epic wins both hands down. The Evo screen is bigger but for me I find the Epic to be the perfect size. I also like gaming which is another hands down win for the Epic, imho. The point is, you will get tons of people that vote for each one. It all depends on the person. So if you really want an answer you need to use them side by side and make your own choice.

I currently feel I have the best phone on the market at the best price power month. I have not one reason to be jealous. I've been without a computer since February and the Epic has filled in just fine until I ordered my ideal computer.

ATT Galaxy S 2 to have keyboard...named Attain.

I think it looks good. I miss having a hard keyboard, ever since my touchpro 2. And as long as its not a brick like the epic, I would grab one.

Addition of a keyboard will hurt the sales of this phone UNLESS they also offer a non-keyboard version.

If its tegra 2 I'm straight cuz its just another generic android phone with official TW4 an keyboards can suck it

I like the physical keyboard and also miss the one from my touchpro 2. That said I won't switch to AT&T to get one and if they absorb T-Mobile I'll be leaving... I can swype just about as fast as I can thumb type anyway

I say ATT can suck it, and why does a device that big have a keyboard.
Listen. I was a sidekick freak..
I had Sidekick 1, 2, 3, Slide, LX, and then finally I went into the T-Mo store last June and said hey my sidekick is brokens! is there a new one out?
Well, lets just say they discontinued them back then haha, and well I waited 2 weeks for the Galaxy S and now i'm enjoying NOT having a keyboard for over a year.

I'm pretty sure most of you guys don't want a keyboard because you're used to a slim light phone.
I personally don't care as long as it is good quality and feels nice. Yea ATT sucks but I have it and have to live with it.
So yea..

Talk for yourself, I actually like physical keyboards.
G1 keyboard was the best, but swype is great alternative.

Yea, I am impartial towards keyboard. Grew up with as I went through my smartphones (BJ, 2x BJ2, Propel Pro, G1), so I can't really say I hate them but I do like the size of slimmed down phones with no KB.
Also, the Attain might be different in coding. IIRC, the Epic (the keyboard version of SGS) was the most different in coding and couldn't port of froyo because of hardware differences?

I wish tmo was getting a gs2 version.. Im feeling a little jealous.. . Lol
Any rumored superphones coming to tmo besides the gigantic Hercules?
Oh tmo...

Photon 4g

Ive hated motorola since I had the abomination that was the rokr. theyre phones have always screwed me over sooner or later on the software side, but this phone is calling to me.. its nice.. idk I think there's something wrong with me. I wouldnt get it over the gs2... but id definitely consider it. What do you guys think?

Hey I dont like motorola also!! But the photon looks like it kicks ass. i would consider it but my upgrades not till may and they're gonna have a better phone by then...

That statement right there means you need to go into a store and play with one. It has a ton of features built in.
@OP: I share your exact same sentiment. I'm waiting for the within, and I hate motorola, but this phone is definitely enticing me. I feel like I'm under some sort of spell lol. The webtop alone is enough for me to consider it. It would be so nice to just throw it on the dock when I get home and fire up netflix or hulu. And have all my texts come through my tv. Ugh...its so tempting.

It borrows heavily from MIUI, but it's incredibly customizable. You can customize your status bar, icons, lockscreen, Dialer, Font, SMS, Boot Animation, etc. It is also one of the fastest ROMs. The Music App tells you the lyrics.
