Holy **** that looks nice. Glad that its going to have a metal body. This was one of the main reasons besides seeing how future upgrades are implemented that I decided not to go with the Epic Touch. I hate the plastic builds of Samsung's current phones but love all the other aspects of their hardware.

That might be the next phone I get

Yes sir Mr. Stir...Just imagine the apps and gaming on a QUAD-CORE CPU...OMG...and once developers overclock that thing....the Nexus Prime is going to look like the Samsung Rant...if I don't get the Epic 4G Touch I won't feel so bad knowing I have this to look forward too...especially with the new metal samsung shouldda BEEN implemented into their high quality builds

May be my next phone, especially if it allows a USB keyboard or if they make Sprint's with a physical keyboard.

I just have a hard time believing they would go from the current 16:10 aspect ratio to the antiquated 4:3 ratio on the screen.

We won't see that in the US until late 2012 .. if that.. ill enjoy my epic touch until then. I Have 2 lines on my account so I can't upgrade every year :-D

Traded my EVO for the Super Sexy Epic 4g!!!

I traded my evo for an EPIC 4g. Why you ask? Simple Sprint is cheeping the EVO name with the EVO Sh!tless.... IT is not an evo at all. It has smaller screen that is not the premium screen sizes of 4" and above as google said phone with 4" and above screens are premium. It has a slower cpu and all. To me this is like going into a Jag dealer and seeing a Ford for sales right next to my Jag.... Yep it ticked me off so much I had to trade my evo...

So much this. The hardware keyboard is great, physically, too - the key skipping's no good, but thanks to mkasick that's much improved. Call me a fanboy, but the SAMOLED screen looks demonstrably better to me than just about anything else on the market. Even the iPhone's high-res IPS display can't match. I've seen several, they look... dull.

Cosign!!! So many times one of my iPhone 4 buddies will ask me about my phone and stare in amazement at my gorgeous screen with custom theme/icons/etc. It's as if they never thought that something could be better than their Apple product.. haha. If there's anything that will keep me attached to Samsung, it's their Super AMOLED screens. The S-AMOLED Plus screens are undoubtedly going to be a lot better in the future as well.

You traded your EVO because Sprint released the EVO Shift?? That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The name EVO is not synonomous with 4" screen and 1 ghz processor. Not to mention if you've played with the Shift you'd know its a really nice phone if you don't need the size of the EVO or a few other features.

Matter of opinion. ACS didn't even have an eb13 when Bonsai was running. Ext 4 has its problems and issues and I don't think battery life is positive or negative in relation to RFS.

evo once meant the best of the best for non keyboards. ]
epic is best of the best for keyboards
now sprint made the evo cheaper by having the evo sh!tless in the mix... Its a lesser device. google said only devices with 4" and above screens and at least 1ghz cpu are premium devices....
i played with the sh!tless and as the queen says.... we are not amused. It has a slower cpu and much much much much smaller screen the well wont get the ladies attention. With the Epic women always want your number....
TBH, I think Sprint/HTC are trying to live on the brand name of the original EVO by slapping the EVO name on the Shift, due to how well the original EVO sold. Sort of like how Verizon uses the Droid name on various devices on their network.

Evo 3d and nexus have credit on Sprint server

Go to now.sprint.com/nexus and you get an image that credits it

Well see thats my question.
will the Evo 3d be a Lg phone or a htc phone?
It has that Samsung feel to it, but it's a pretty sweet phone. It feels solid and the little chin bit feels nice in the hand, but I'm not huge on the plastic myself. Nice to see it at least come to Sprint, I'm not entirely sold on these dual cores as I don't game or take in a whole lot of media on it sans music / random videos. 3D phones ... ehh, it should be the big phone of the 2 and I know the 3D toggle will be there ... and there is all that talk about 3D on displays that don't really do it justice ... blah blah blah. I'd consider the Nexus S, especially for just a year. Will be interesting to see what is what.
I'm itching to find out how much it'll sell for. I don't have any problems with selling my Evo to get my hands on a Nexus S on Sprint.

they will soon. probably at ctia. but their dual cores are inferior to the tegra/samsung dual cores. @ 1ghz vs 1ghz, htc/qualcomm's is about 25% slower. qualcomm is setting them at 1.2 ghz so it'll make up some of the gap but power consumption will shoot up plus the tegra 2 is 5nm smaller so tegra 2 is overall more power efficient. i'd personally want a tegra 2 but not much of a choice.

Its just hard to take Samsung serious when it comes to phones. I mean the rule the tv world but I just don't like how they support their phones(taking forever with updates/fixes). Very hard to believe the nexus s is a sammy product and not an HTC.
Nexus S IS NOT SAMSUNG's. For the last time, GOOGLE wanted the phone, GOOGLE gave samsung the specs, GOOGLE tested it, and it's aosp. It is no where close to the **** support that the other samsung craphones get.

Epic users. Are you going to jump ship for the Evo 3D, or wait for the GSII?

Been looking at the Evo 3D...and it looks pretty cool. But there is just something about it that doesnt appeal to me. I think I might wait for the Galaxy SII to drop!
Ya I loved everything about the phone until I saw the 2d-3d toggle switch next to the camera button... not sexy.. I figured that the setting for that would be a widget just like everything else on the phone... makes it look cheap.. oh well I guess ill be walking around with the cheap ugly thing soon enough though! ;-)

Looks to me like 3D might finally take off. But I'm not downgrading from SuperAmoled to dim looking LCD. I might consider getting a new phone when Samsung comes out with a Galaxy 3D LTE [since wimax is in the brinks of it's final days]- with a Qwerty keyboard.

When HTC/Moto comes out with a brilliant screen like the Galaxy S/Iphone then I'll be picking that up.

I can't stand the Epic. Ideally, I'd go back to iOS but Sprint doesn't have an Iphone. Anyhow, the answer is no. I'll probably get an EVO 3D.

Is this it?

Is the epic 4g going be the last smartphone with a full keyboard? I was kinda excited about the new epic 4g touch but without a keyboard I can't see myself getting it. A touch screen keyboard can never fully replace a real keyboard. I'm really hoping we a epic 4g 2 or a epic 3d.

I'm sure some manufacturer will make another keyboard phone. That's the beauty of Android, you can have different phone choices to satisfy a market niche.

lol how can you assume it will be the last slide-out android phone?? they're still making them for other carriers, just not Sprint. But not much has come out yet for Sprint since the Epic, except for the Evo 3d. But I know they are coming out with the Droid 3 on Verizon, which has a slide-out. Don't give up hope. The true Epic upgrade will arrive someday. Let's hope with at least a 1.5Ghz processor and a LOT more internal memory and RAM.
EDIT: LG Optimus SLider is coming out this month for Sprint. SPH-M930 (slider) coming out in October.
Yea' I was thinking about the droid 3 then the photon commercial came on.
They cycle the releases of phones with kb and no kb to maximize sales. So don't worry in a few months there will be another samsung phone with a kb. I'm the same way I will not get a phone without a kb again

They cycle the releases of phones with kb and no kb to maximize sales. So don't worry in a few months there will be another samsung phone with a kb. I'm the same way I will not get a phone without a kb again
