Yeah, but you've got Team BAMF over there too. Those guys create the best ROMs I've ever used on ANY device. If I could run BAMF Forever on the old dInc I would. It's simply the best ROM I've ever used.
Warranty or insurance?

Yes! I was going to bring that up but decided not to.
And it was through insurance, not Asurion. I pay for the insurance every month and there was no deductible.

Asurion IS the insurance. What phones Verizon has has nothing to do with them. If you got it from Verizon, it was a warranty claim, no insurance. Insurance ALWAYS has a deductible.
As for the SLCD's black screen lighting up the whole room, try turning the brightness to auto. From all the AMOLED lovers out there, I'm told those glow noticably when on a black screen, too (even though I own one and still have never seen that happen, not to mention it's physically impossible).
I never had the problem with my amoled either, but your suggestion SMS fooling with backlight settings in cm7 yield no results. Oh well, contract is up in feb.

Since it is available on us cellular which is a cdma network, can we expect it to come to sprint relatively soon?
dunno about sprint but the ACG is getting it. My carrier should have it here soon. The specs seem decent but I am skeptical about the display, ill have to see it in person to properly judge.

The Legend isn't much of an upgrade.. Rather would see the Desire or something comparable. 1ghz phone without 4g please.
I just wish sprint would release a phone with stock android. That's all I want. CM6 is keeping me happy at the moment.
I'm very tempted to jump ship when the new G2 comes out on tmobile.

good luck with t-mobile and their ****ty service & reception. i hear sprint may be buying them out anyways.
even if we did get the legend or hero2 im sure it would at least have a 1ghz cpu. and for your guys info all future sprint phones will have 4g and that $10 coolness fee. they want to covert everyone over, hence stopping supporting the hero.
negative on the converting over to 4g.. they have to get it nationwide for that to happen.. Im still 45 miles away from any 4g.. so getting the desire for me would rock.. I would be perfectly happy with that phone.. on 3g speeds. not to mention saving like 240 over 2 years for not having to pay for a service i cant get..lol

Better this way or worse?
worse, you get pinkish greys and certain line patterns can cause color banding (kinda like old school ntsc)
from the ars article:"Overall, it is hard to see any really good advantages to the PenTile layout, yet there are some big downsides in reducing spatial resolution of two of the color channels."
see page three of the article for some demonstrations.

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.
Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.
why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?
I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.
I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.
Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

Actually that is exactly my thought about the whole thing.
After going through 2 Evos that accumulated dust in the screen, I jumped ship to the Epic thinking I was safe. Well today what do I see? A nice sized spec smack dab in the middle of my gorgeous screen. Any ideas to get this out? I'm pretty pissed this happened.
HowTF does something like that happen? lol
Hmm, Im gonna go out on a limb here and guess that maybe its something you are doing that is the problem and not the devices. Seriously how does someone get dust into their screen, lol.
I've never heard of that being a problem on the epic. Take ur back to sprint and maybe they can clean it for you.

Well the Evo dust issue was widespread, and the exact same issue was present on the Hero. I figured that the Epic would be immune to this since the screen and digitizer are one. I will call sprint Monday and see what can be done. It stays in a pocket that is clean and I only keep my phone in it. Fyi my Epic is a refurb.
Yeah I agree the evo was a widespread issue. I never heard of anyone getting dust infer the screen.on the epic though

Ok, I looked at the website, and the three I mentioned above, are the only phnes that: do not have the 10 dollar charge, are touchsceen. The replenish says it "saves you 10 dollars a month" which I think implies they aren't charging for premium data on it.

i really liked the evo shift
the screen is a little smaller...but has the same resolution
in some aspects it does outshine the epic & evo screen for crispness due to this
also the development came along really fast for the shift
it overclocks to 1.5ghz reliably (i would never overclock the epic) and battery life is upwards of double that of the epic...despite the so named power saving samoled.
sorry just saw comments thwarting the $10 charge (or in sero users case $20)

You are wrong in every comparison you just provided as I own and regularly use both the Epic and the EVO Shift. Battery life on both is about equal. The Epic has a much better screen and the speed on both phones is comparable with the Epic being slightly quicker out the box. If its for his dad I doubt he will be rooting and overclocking.

Yep, just an update, he called around and Best Buy had the epic for free today, and they waved the $10 charge for one year, no BS... He is in love, but nw I have to provide the support, and I know I wont be able to keep my hands off of it when Im at the his house, ofcourse Im gonna push him to put on my ROM (which is almost done,I need 2 theme questions answered, and trying to add journaling by default again, any help?)... So I just said your gonna need to root to take all that bloatware off, the look I got was priceless... I almost wish he got the Replenish, but since the 10$ fee was waved,he got the best deal... Thanks to everyone, Im gonna use all 5.
I'm surprised his instinct lasted this long. Hands down, the worst phone I have ever owned.
Glad he decided on an epic though, great choice!

Wow, sounds like a pretty kick ass deal. I was considering doing an insurance claim cause my power/unlock button kind of stopped working but it works now, kinda. Has a mind of its own, works sometimes and does work other times... I was wondering how they would be doing replacements since they stopped making the OG Evo. I also felt that the 3D was not worth the upgrade at all, but hell I would gladly take one to replace my old Evo. Only thing I would miss is the dev community and the stupid amount of choices we have as far as roms and mods lol. I think it is safe to say that no other android phone has a bigger dev community than the OG Evo.
My charging ports also been broken for a couple months I just haven't bothered to fix it. I have an external charger

That's exactly what I thought. I wasn't gonna use an upgrade on it but a trades totally worth it
I love my EVO too, but I wouldn't be that unhappy if I had to upgrade. I do enjoy being able to change ROMs whenever and to whatever I want basically, but I've tried AOSP, I've tried MIUI, and I keep coming back to Sense, so I'd probably just go to Eternity ROM on 3D and be done with it. I would still miss my EVO though.
