Yeah! Although I'll make a backup now on the Nexus S 4g so I wont have to Redl all my roms.

Shouldn't they be on your computer anyways
When I got my second galaxy tab I just moved the files that took me 4 hours to download (when I did download them) (f***you optimum) and my app backup from my backup root and I was good

Well that sucks. I've only had my contract for less than a year. Got my epic at release. I wanna jump ship to a phone with a larger dev community. Or at least a phone that has a functioning CM -__-

yea im waiting on the nexus prime .. should be worth the wait

Eh, even if I could renew, I don't think I'd leave my epic. I love the size, love the keyboard, love everything about it. I think I'd pass on the Nexus.

I'm passing on all phones till next year. I'm more than happy with my epic. When they have the next great leap in features is when ill get a new phone unless I break the screen again then maybe sooner

Early 2012 is said to have Quad-Core phones, Quad-Core tablets in Fall 2011.
Definitely waiting for some quad-core action.

if it was 50 bucks no upgrade or service contract id buy it..
but im waiting for the next nexus or the quad core phones..

Because SamSprint will deliver timely updates for the S2? After the Moment and the Epic, I think I'm going to bet on a Nexus next time. I'd rather have timely updates than better hardware specs. The Nexus S 4G specs are more than fine for what I use my phone for and would certainly get me through two more years.

im the same way.. im tired of having to be at the will of carrier and phone makers for my updates. im defiantly getting a nexus device as my next device. i was going to hold out for the nexus prime. but seeing as quad core is at early 2012 , i might just hold off or get the prime and sell it for the quad core device.

I just got a Nexus for my dad. Yay!

I got my nexus s from sprint at $100. Now i contacted sprint today and they credited me the difference.

[Q] Need to Replace Epic... With What?

My wife and I both have Epics, but she's dropped hers enough times now that the screen is totally cracked and it will need to be replaced... Rather than pay to repair it, I'd rather replace it... But with what? What's the best thing since sliced cheese that's available (or will be available shortly) for Sprint? Looking at the current stock of available Sprint phones, I might be inclined to go with the Galaxy S II / Epic 4G Touch if it weren't for the fact that I'm so unhappy with Samsung's dismal support for the Epic...
So what does everyone recommend? Is there something coming out just over the horizon that we should hold out for?

If you need something now, nothing.
But if you can wait a bit, the galaxy nexus should be coming to sprint.
The gs2 has better specs (sans screen) but the nexus is guaranteed to get updates unlike our epics

If it still works I would wait for the LTE handsets in 2012. The 800SMR coverage will be a big plus too.

That spectrum won't be used for lte until identified is switched off. That's getting into 2013.

I agree, I switched over to Nexus S 4G since I'm not currently eligible for upgrade through Sprint. But if I was, that new Nexus would be the way to go!!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

you could always buy a nexus s 4g off ebay for like 200 bucks. then sell it on ebay in a few months when the galaxy nexus comes out for maybe 100 bucks. i hear the photon is pretty good.

Yeah, sammy can go screw themselves... If you want a phone that all the features actually work I'd stay away from them. I hear good things about the Photon and for my Sprint phone I picked up a HTC device.

[Q] What do you think is your end of life for the epic?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if people have an idea of how long they'll stay with there Epic? I don't think I've ever loved a phone as much as I love this one but I'm sure I'll be tempted away by something new this summer when my renewal credit is up.
What about you?

Whenever quadcore lte phones roll out ill be upgrading ..... I actually have a two year upgrade though its only been a year which was very tempting but I can wait

This phone has had such great staying power so far..it does just a little bit of everything just good enough that i'm not tempted to change one bit yet. The only reason for me to change is improved hardware/design plus I think I'm ready to ditch the KB.

Samsung Note LTE for sprint or a quadcore.. whichever I fall in love with first!

Waiting on SGS3. Eligible in July. May just go for the Nexus if the 3 looks like a long wait on Sprint, though.

Waiting for LTE with a hardware keyboard... just don't like the idea of using up all my screen with a keyboard.
I may be waiting forever because these cheap manufacturers don't want to make them anymore.

I just got the epic last week. Running it on virgin mobile. Can't beat $25 bucks a month
Ill probably run the epic for another year or so. Its a still a great phone and a big upgrade compared to my old optimistic v.

I am still getting a Google phone... like I said before, I don't want to be pissed off by samsung's lack if updates, closed source ROM, or HTCs locked bootloaders. I would actually like a Google phone on stock... I don't care if there is 65 core... single core is fast enough and dual core is amazing. Higher on a mobile phone is just stupid until software advances.

The Epic its the first phone that I've had for more than six months and not thought " I REALLY want a new phone!" It's been almost a year and a half now. I might upgrade to the G Nex if/ when out comes to Sprint or a quad core lte...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I see little reason to upgrade to something else until LTE is deployed in my area now that CM9 is on the horizon.

I might finally be ready for a phone without a keyboard. The Galaxy Nexus keeps calling me.

I will never get rid of my epic but if sprint gets galaxy note2 I will have to upgrade and keep epic for fun. Even better would be a nexus note.

Keyboard or gtfo

FYI - Epic 4g Touch (SGS2) $219

Just giving a heads up to my fellow OG Epic friends.

Why get a GS2 with no LTE for that much? Radio Shack is offering them for $49 on upgrade.

Because the $219 price is without a upgrade or contract

why spend $219 regardless when its not LTE is the point. When the successor will be coming this summer not to mention the Gnex being a better option than the S2

Yeah I got that. But I don't think it is much improvement over the Epic to warrant $219. But I am sure some will like that. Thanks.

In reality the S2 trades blows with the Gnex. I would prefer the Gnex for the screen + AOSP aspect, but not for twice the price (off contract).
If you buy an off contract phone then it leaves you free to buy an on contract phone at the discounted rate whenever you want (cause you're not in contract at that point).
Also there isn't any LTE or WiMax for 100 miles of me nor is my area announced to get in this year. Maybe by the time the Nexus 3 comes out next year it will be worth it to look at a LTE phone at that time for me.

I doubt many area will get LTE anytime soon.
not a bad deal, but personally I wouldn't pay $219 to upgrade from OG epic.

Ah. Good point for you and the 4G thing.

You could sell the epic on Craigslist for 100 at least and then it would be a fantastic deal. It will still be worth at least 150 by the time the gs4 is announced, meaning its essentially a free upgrade of you have the cash to put on hold for a while.

Epic 4g for sale

Just found out I'm eligible for my upgrade so I'm thinking its time for the S3.
I was thinking of listing my Epic with what ever rom you want on it
16gb memory card
Sedio case. Zagg shield on the front.
4 batteries. Oem 1500. Oem 1800. Crappy 1500. Brand new as of Friday Anker 1800
I'm thinking 120 would be decent for that and I can cover shipping in the US cause I got a hook up.
The goal here is paypal. That way I can buy the new phone right away and move my account over cause this is my work phone. I can't afford to be with out it for a day.
Any opinions. Under the shell the thing looks brand new.

No but she did drop 270 bucks on new clothes for her with out even flinching.
I think she has about 6 months before she can upgrade. She's on verizon and gets real 4g in san diego, so we'll see, but I garantee that if she wants it, she'll buy it no questions asked. For my upgrade I have to sell blood
