meh -_- oh well
i wan to trade my epic for an evo... please pm about it i am in indianapolis
You posted in the wrong forum this is the samsung epic 4g forum
traded my epic for the evo again yesterday, everyone at work usually has an htc smartphone. and the dev community has so many custom roms.... well what can i say....
The point being? Are we supposed to celebrate? Lol...
I traded my Evo for an Epic. Still pretty pleased with my decision.
I got an Evo on its first day available, but at the time I didn't know the Epic was coming. I was used to having a physical keyboard on my smartphones (Samsung Blackjack 2, ATT Fuze/Touch Pro, and ATT Tilt/Touch Pro 2). It was a drastic change to not have a keyboard, and I have more than once considered switching.
Now that I've had my Sprint contract for over a year, I can get an Epic for the same price as if I was buying it new - $149. Gazelle says that my Evo is worth $157 (it was $190 two months ago, oh well), so it would be a wash.
I have confidence in Gingerbread for the Epic coming soon (I've seen 6/20 tossed around as a date), and I know I can root it. My only ambivalence comes from the Epic being ten months old itself. On the other hand, "modern" Android phones with keyboards are uncommon (Come on Sprint, releasing the XPRT Froyo and without 4G?) and the Epic is the only one that the keyboard and design impresses me.
It appears people have gone both ways - from Epic to Evo, and from Evo to Epic. Any other comments?
Thanks, Doug

I did the same thing, EVO screen glass doesn't want to stay attached to phone...
My Verizon contract expires on the 26th but I'm really not feeling the selection of phones right now. I wanted n LTE phone until I realized the current offerings were sub par. Then I thought I would wait for the Bionic but with the release of the locked down Droid 3 I'm not feeling optimistic about the bionic. Being locked down is a deal breaker for me. I'm thinking about getting a used incredible locally for about 150 atleast until Verizon comes out with some worthy LTE contendors. Thoughts? I'm coming from an OG Droid by the way.

if u want LTE get the charge if you want 3G get the Dinc 2 or Dinc
Probably not a bad idea to get an original incredible and wait to see what happens with the bionic and sgs2.
Second that. Get the Inc used at a good price and hope for a legit LTE phone from HTC next year. I feel like Verizon is focused on getting LTE up and running this year as opposed to putting out really good phones.
I prefer HTC, myself. If the Sensation or EVO 3D were on Verizon I'd consider it. I think it's just an off year for Verizon and new phones.
I love my DInc, as does everyone else I've talked to or read a post from. It's a classic with unbelievable Dev support. Coming from OG Droid you won't be disappointed, esp if you like the slightly slimmer form factor.
Thanks for the feedback. I think I am going to go ahead and get one. I was definitely really impressed with the amount of dev support in the development forum. I think the bump in CPU speed/RAM + smaller form factor will be enough to tide me over for a year or so. I just didn't want to waste my upgrade on a phone right now and be locked in all through next year when hopefully better phones will be coming out.
yeah you won't be disappointed with the dinc. i still haven't found what i would like to replace it with. i'll keep it till it burns up (knock on glass)

My brother has the og droid, and I put miui on it (I have miui on my phone too), and the inc blows it out of the water. Even with an overclocked kernel on the droid, it can't compare to the inc. you'll love the speed increase and the awesome devs that the inc has!

The dInc blows the OG Droid out of the water, and is still a very competent phone by todays standards.
I actually really didn't like the Droid Incredible when I first used it because something seemed cheap about it. Realized a day later it was because of how quickly everything was loading on it, made it seem like there was no substance to the applications. Idiotic complaint? Yes, but my brain works in weird ways.
Love the phone. If you can get a cheap used/refurb I'd do that, I would be all about the SGS2 if it came with LTE, I'm thinking I may be waiting for the SGS3 to come out or one of the better HTC LTE phones.
I've had my DInc since the day after it was released and love mine. I almost got a DInc2 but decided against it. I will wait till Christmas time and try to get a multicore phone. My DInc does everything I need it to do, while there will always be a bigger and faster phone coming, I can wait.
Thanks for the support guys...meeting craigslist seller tomorrow morning for $125. Here's to hoping the VZW rep will tell me the ESN is clear!
Good luck, that sounds like a good price if its clean. I paid about $200 for mine 3-4 months ago if that's any indication.
I purchased mine off ebay. It's a great phone. My only complaint would be the screen. It's very hard to see outside in the daylight.

The incredible is a worthy upgrade from the OG Droid (I did the same thing in March), but only if you can get it for cheap. I got mine from verizon for $100. I only got it to satisfy my craving for faster technology since the lack of ram on the OG was pissing me off. I'll be ditching the incredible when I find a phone worthy of my (last) new every 2 (so essentially something thats 4G, Dual/Triple/Quadcore, and an unlocked bootloader), I wouldn't mind it if it launched with Ice Cream Sandwich either
you really can't go wrong with this phone... the devs having it doing things it was never designed for and it does it well! sense 3.0and panoramic camera are awesome.
The other deal for 125 fell through but I picked one up today..already loving the phone. MIUI is beautiful and it absolutely rips on this phone compared to my Droid.

There are alot of roms, by the time the first 2 weeks are over, you prolly flash 25 times! Try optimized shift and nils business gingersense, both fantastic roms.

I completely agree with you about upgrading to a Dinc2. My Dinc1 is awesome and I'd probably end up regretting using my upgrade on a Dinc2.
I wouldn't hesitate to tell someone to pickup a used Dinc1 at all. Coming from an OG Droid I couldn't be happier. I have to see if the Bionic is locked down, most likely will be, to make an upgrade decision. Guess I'll just have to be patient.
I was offered two phone choices nexus s and epic touch for my EVO as the phone is having hardware issues with the 4g connection . Replacement choices where offered by sprint tech support .
Any thoughts on the phones choices, don't need keyboard that leaves me with nexus
I take it they offered you the Epic 4g, and not the Epic 4g Touch? If it was the original Epic they offered I would go with the Nexus S. I really have nothing to back that as I haven't handled either phone, I have just heard some bad things about the Epic.
Did tech say you would have to take it to a store to swap out or that they would mail you one. Reason I ask is the wife is having problems with her epic 4G (random reboots and freezing screen to name a few) and they told me that i have to go to a store to swap out that they don't mail replacments out anymore.
now the voices are customized in 3d
no they can do mail replacement if you ask .
I already bought so many accessories for evo extended batteries, car mount I guess time to get rid of them. Yeah old epic touch was offered
Hey,
If you are going to go that route get the nexus, but it really isnt fair they are trying to gip you out into a cheaper phone. They tried to do the same for me...
Either call tech support or complain to them in your sprint store and they will give you another evo! Worked for me at least!
If not just see if they will cut you a deal to upgrade and get a newer evo!
Goodluck!

Are you sure it was the Epic Touch? Highly doubt that. The Epic Touch doesn't have a keyboard, but the original Epic does.
If indeed it was the Epic Touch, get it. If it was the original Epic, get the Nexus S. Far better, pure Google, not plagued by the problems of the Epic, guaranteed updates, newer, better development.....

I'm guessing that each time you say Epic Touch, you mean the Epic 4G (Galaxy S).
The Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII) uses the word TOUCH to indicate that it has no keyboard (touchscreen only)
If this is the case, the Nexus would be the way to go, which is nice since ICS update should be coming in a few weeks.
I'm surprised they didn't give an option to upgrade to the EVO 3d.
If they offer the Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII), then it's probably the best choice.
I'm a couple weeks away from being eligible for an upgrade with Sprint. I'm sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat as me. What phone are you looking to get next?
The EVO was as easy choice when it came out. There wasn't anything to compete with it other than the iPhone. I don't try to keep up with all the new phones until I am close to an upgrade. There is just too much out there to possibly keep up with.

The HTC Jewel, or what likely will be called the EVOx when it comes to Sprint

I upgraded to the et4g was gonna wait for the gnex but got the et4g free without using my upgrade and after playing with both side by side found the et4g to actually be nicer than the gnex
Edit: still got my evo too its active on my second line got to double upgrade from an evo and intercept to an epic touch 4g and evo

Probably going HTC arrive. It will be nothing on upgrade next month and want to tinker with a windows phone 7 for a while. Evo will go to my oldest who is running a HTC hero.
If I don't like that then my wife's phone is due in May. I'll swap it out for something else.
Current Android family
HTC evo 4g x 2
HTC evo shift
HTC hero
Motorola Xoom
Viewsonic G-tablet
HP Touchpad (running classic nerd)
So yeah just want to tinker with something new for a while
My upgrade is coming up next month as well. (I suppose a lot of us who got the EVO on/near launch day are)
I've put a lot of thought into it and I think I'm going for the GNex. Unless I find out the GS3 devices are coming soon.
My wife got the white Evo when that launched (about a month after the original Evo) and she's waiting for the Galaxy Journal.
I would like to see Sprint carry the Xperia line, particularly the S model. Looks pretty sweet. Otherwise I would go with another HTC flagship device. I might also consider the Galaxy Nexus.
My upgrade is also in April (another day 1 adopter) I'm waiting for either the Galaxy Journal or the S3 (depending on release date) Definitely want an LTE capable device. Not sure if the Journal is going to fall in that category or not.
I'm eligible in June but I'll wait for the first Sprint LTE phone at the end of this year, so long as the suck-factor is low for it.
Sprint is aware that a lot of the Evo owners are coming off contract. I am betting the Galaxy Nexus will be coming out before we fall off contract to entice renewal.
That's what I will be going with.
whatever the next LTE sprint phone with huge screen+lots of features.. will be.
june, i'll be eligible for an upgrade, so hopefully we get something good by then
Upgrade next month here as well. Currently there is nothing worth upgrading too.
I'm hoping it won't be too long until we see some LTE devices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Couldn't agree more. The Et4g is nice, but I prefer HTC, and et4g has already been out for a bit now. I don't mind waiting to see what comes at all. Satisfied with my Evo.

Not due til the end of the year, so I'm going for the galaxy S III.
Not eligible till Feb. 2013 there should be plenty of devices to choose from by then.

I'm in the same boat but will wait and see what comes down the line. I got two E4GT phones for my kids and they are incredible. They lay waste to my EVO. Samsung really stepped up their game. I don't know if HTC will be able to compete from here on out since Sammy has fully commited to Android. I've used the Gnex and don't like it as much as the GSII. I really want a phone that has built in image stabilization for video. Other than that the GSII camera kills! Way better than my little Canon P/S.
I'm waiting for the GNex. I don't have choice since it's my dad's lines, but I think ICS is where it's at.

I am considering moving to Verizon for better LTE coverage.
OG EVO
I don't think I will be upgrading next month when my time comes. There is really nothing out IMHO that can still compete with the OG EVO. Meaning the custom roms, tweeks, etc that you can do to the phone. HTC makes a good solid phone and I would definetly have to stay with a HTC line
Not due till July so ill wait it out for the EVOX/jewel haven't heard to many good things from gnex owners
Pleasantly Mad.
I wanted to wait for the Gnex as well, but that 16gb non-expandable storage limitation is killing me. I want to be able to use my 32gb class 10 with my next phone.
Hi all,
I am on Sprint and I can't take it anymore. Sprint in Puerto Rico is crap... and it's been crap for the past 4 years. So, I am jumping ship to AT&T this afternoon, maybe...
So, I ask you... HTC One X or SG3?
Go! (and thanks!!)
One X rocks my world and is built solidly unlike the plastic fantastic of the GS3. Buy a one x then root and unlock the boot loader then have a LOT of fun!!

Coworkers has one and I'm jealous..lol, but my expressed EVO 4g begs the differ...:beer:
