Hey all. I've been looking to buy a new phone for a few weeks now, and have been leaning towards the Evo Shift. But my choice was the Epic months ago. So my question is; which would all of you prefer? Epic of Shift?
I've done much research, but I'd like to hear insight from some actual Epic users. I know the Epic offers Samsung's Super AMOLED display, and the shift doesn't. The Epic also has a bigger screen. But I believe the Shift has a faster processor? I've also heard that the sliding mechanism on the Epic can become loose fairly quickly with heavy use? Is this even true? I also know how the Epic doesn't have a fully functional Gingerbread build build yet. The Shift does, but there's only temp root at this time. I really do like Sense, but I've never tried Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Also, I know this is also a bigger phone, but is like, a brick? I definitely wouldn't want a phone to be pulling my pants down when it's in my pocket haha.
I'd really like to outweigh all the pros and cons before I go through with any purchase. Thanks!
Omg the epic wins on ALL fronts. CPU is faster, gpu is faster, keyboard is better, bigger screen, amoled over lcd (spliech!), its thinner, the cameras better, the speaker phone is louder and not tinny. The shift has absolutely nothing on the epic.

Epic has superior hardware in every way, but shift has aosp, sense 3.0, stable miui and stable cm7, whereas we don't. So Shift has more ROMs and dev support + they have stock gb too.
Overall = EPIC ; Developement = Shift ....... personally , I think EPIC is WAY Better
Epic is end of life now so why even get it?
Be cool and get evo 3d or photon. If you don't have the top of the line flagship then you aren't crap and should be asshamed of yourself and move to a remote island with no cell service.

Because I can't really deal with an all touch screen phone, so I want a full keyboard. That's why my choices are the Epic or Evo Shift.

I could care less what people would say about me because of what phone I have. A phone is a phone, and everyone has different opinions. I don't need a brand new, top of the line phone to make me happy. I just want somethin that works, and gets the job done with what I need it for
I have an Epic... and love it! It's fast as hell (running RandomROM EG22 "HAWK"), and I use it for work so it takes plenty of abuse. My wife has a shift stuck on 2.3.3, and it's a dog. Even she complains about how slow it is, but hopefully (someday) permanent root will be found and I can flash a different ROM to speed it up.

I had to stop the Shift Miui 1.8.19 (maybe wrong #) video before he started showing the features...I was getting pissed! Lol EDIT...Shift has Miui 1.9.2...my mistake!

Get the Epic hands down over shift yea they have more devs but we got Great devs are self the epic got better everything cpu gpu humming bird processor super amoled etc. etc. the evo camp got more devs there like the army but the Epic like the marines!! Support the troops USA!!
Super SRF 1.2/Genocide 2.0 OC 1.4GHZ/Honeycomb Fusion v 1.1
I have an epic, and my brother has the shift.
My epic surpasses it in everyway. Better screen, battery life, and keyboard.
Plus, you might end up with a non rootable shift because most of them in stock are aleady on 2.3.
Epic hands down

My Epic runs circles around the Shift regardless of what rom it's running
Forget dev support, no matter how far you push it a Shift will never be an Epic, so I'd say the Epic.

I will have to admit that I have been a HTC WinMo fan boy for the last 6yrs. Wm was not perfect but, it got the job done. Custom roms were good but, they always had bugs. So when I got my EPIC an my first android phone I was blown away. The speed how well everything worked together. I was amazed how people complained about touchwiz. I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe because I don't know of any better interface. It not as flashy as HTC sense but, it seems fast.
I hear alot of nitpicking here about the phone. They compare stock EPIC roms to Custom roms on other phone. Not realizing that everyone doesn't like the custom rom you love. I don't know of anything being perfect. But, some of the people that bought this phone were expecting more.
I love the phone. I just wanted to know what others think.
I'm amazed by it. Every time I get a spare second, I want to pick it up and play with it.
I really like the design of the phone more than the other Galaxy S variants. The soft touch back reminds me of the EVO, and the screen looks so good sitting there with the phone turned off. Which brings me to my next point:
This screen is so brilliant. I've not noticed any of the issues people complain about. It's gorgeous. HD movies look better on the Epic than any other phone I've seen (EVO and iPhone 4). I constantly want to change my wallpaper.
The speed of this phone is fantastic. It's faster on 2.1 than my EVO is with CM6 (Froyo). I never used sense on my EVO. I actually stuck with touchwiz for a while before I finally installed launcher PRO. Again, Launcher Pro AND Touchwiz are faster than anything I put on my EVO. Menus scroll with no lag at all. Apps open very fast and games are perfect. I didn't like that a lot of games ran slow on the EVO... and some were downright unplayable. I'm a big gamer, so this is important.
The keyboard is pretty convenient. I use swype for most things... like texting, emailing, etc. But I love the keyboard for when I need to type numbers, usernames\passwords, website URLs, etc. I also use it for games\emulators.
All in all, I'm very happy with this phone. It's not for everybody, but it is definitely for me. I've actually made a few iPhone 4 users jealous. They were never jealous of my EVO
I love love love this phone. its deff worth the move after being an iPhone user for 2.5 years. I love the freedom I have to make and customize the phone to my taste vs just having a glass screen with shortcuts all over it. every time I wake my phone I swear I get more and more amazed by the screen quality lol.. the phone is very fast and snappy. the only complaint I seem to suffer from is my battery life =/ .. other than that this is deff an iPhone killer in my eyes.

Just tested out the atrix not a huge differnce bewteen the epic stock vs stock now I know it will be a lot better when devs get ahold of it but it was laggy because of blur made touchwiz look fast but still not a huge diffence against our epics
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Gotta be honest, that was hard to understand considering there were no commas nor periods.
It would be no surprise that the Atrix doesn't seem faster than the Epic. They both have hardware that the OS simply cannot tax. If there is a difference performance wise, it will be in games or stress programs. Even then, you probably won't see much of a difference in performance.
I think the only real world difference that would be substantial is if you are compiling on the phone(which I am sure there are developers that do, or would). Other than that, dual core or even a faster processor is going to be useless on these phone.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'm liking this better than the 3D for sure if it does come with a 4" screen. I will have my Shift for two more years though... Maybe one if I like what's released next summer, though I will only be a 9 year vet of Sprint next summer so I would still have to pay more than I want. I don't see myself ever owning a device with a screen larger than 4" if I can help it.
Looks good, but no kb = not for me.
Keyboard doesn't really matter to me, the Shift was more about size. I think I could deal with a 4" screen

+1 too big a step unfortunantley. In the era of 2011 you can't have single core proccesors anymore lol. Only thing I could think to make up for it is if it was the new snapdragon Krait proccessors which are appearently 75% more battery effecient
Honestly, I could do with a bit less processing power if it got me a better battery life. To me, battery life is the biggest downfall of Android phones. I just got a 1900mAh battery (slim, no cover needed), we'll see if it makes much difference...fingers crossed.

I wouldn't call a 1.2gHz phone crap. It won't be as fast as a dual core, like the 3D, but it will be faster than the shift, and have a larger, higher resolution display, plus Sense 3.0 from the start (I'm assuming this last part, since the resolution is 960x580, or whatever the 3D is). Plus, more ram, and possibly more rom than the shift.
It's nice to see "mid-range" phones with some decent specs, and not really far off from the halo phones. Depending on when I make my next phone purchase, I may get the Galaxy S2. I would really like my next phone to have a Super AMOLED screen.
