Which phone would you choose?
The one(s) I'm really interested in is:
1. Samsung Epic 4g Touch
2. Motorola Photon 4g
3. Nexus S 4g
Just would like to get some opinions on these or whatever you all think?

Looking at the photon myself....next week is upgrade time, and not interested in any Samsung products....
And from everthing I've read the nexus radio sucks...

I've got the photon (had it for about 6 weeks) and can say that it's a great phone. Runs smooth as butter. The only issue i've had was some overheating, but that was my fault and not a hardware or OS issue.
If I had the option of switching, I would turn it down and stay with the photon.

I'm leaning more toward the Photon but, the Epic is close.
The manager told me that the Photon is better suited for the network expansion Sprint is planning on.
I've had the photon and now epic touch 4g, and they are both great phones on their own respect.
The photon has better cell reception than the epic and has great call quality. The epic is ok, just not photon quality. If you do alot of multitasking and web browsing the epic is blazing fast and you won't experience no lag whatsoever. The photon is a great phone but when multitasking it became a little laggy, but not a deal breaker. As far as screen resolution, imo the epic edges out the photon. Even though the photon has better resolution the epic just looks better. I don't know how this was achieved but the super amoled+ is nice.
Build quality the photon was nice and felt good in hand. the epic is nice and I really like the slim proflle. It is a huge screen but I like it, since I have big hands its not hard to handle. Either way both phones are great and won't be disappointed with which one you decide go with.

Epic Touch is a monster phone. I've become attached to Samsung since the original Epic 4G due to the Super Amoled screen. You just can't get enough of it.
Still haven't made up my mind on which one to get. Why does it have to be so difficult!
If you want android, it's the (possible) Nexus Prime.
But I'm lusting after the HTC Arrive. I had one for a week and I loved it.
Get the best of the best. Epic 4G Touch or the iPhone 4s.
I'm in the same boat as you.
The key differences are:
Photon has a better radio and has a gsm radio as well
Photon's built is heavier in a good way
Photon has pentile display which causes pixalated effect.
Epic has a better SoC including graphics and Cpu
ram is the same i don't know about nand though. Epic will prolly have a better dev community though but the photon has an alpha of cyanogen's out.
Nexus s is still a solid phone but if getting a pure google experience wait a month for the nexus prime announcement. (maybe the price of the current phone will drop a bit?)
Well, we didn't go with Sprint. Said they would give me 5 lines if we faxed some paperwork to them. Did that and, the manager at Sprint corporate took 5 line offer away.
Said I could only have 3 lines right now and add 2 more in a year.
Went to Verizon and got 5 lines no problem. I can tell you Verizon 4g is no joke.

you probably no longer qualified after they reviewed the paper work,i like when people leave things out but anyway, back to the topic at hand, go with the photon, i work at sprint, and messed with all 3 phones, the photon has the best radios, signal, battery life, right out the box!!! a lot of people say there's no development, but think of it this way, if the phone was perfect out of the box, why would there be development??? lol, but i digress, sprint offers the best plans with NO data caps OR speed restriction, just one fee, and your in the world of unlimited!!!!!
Sprints unlimited won't last forever....I already canceled my MBB...

since were leaving sprint next month and going to t-mobile im hoping my wife will allow me to get her some type of budget android phone. although im sure she will want a blackberry again.
myself im looking into getting the g2 or the nexus s.
what will be your next phone after the evo?
As of right now I'm not sure impressed with sprints ces showing. I'm looking in to a dual core phone but I'm in no hurry the evo has plenty of life left in it. But if i was to leave sprint I would get a nexus S
from my phone duh
I really wouldn't take any other phone over the Evo for right now, but if i had to choose it would also be the Nexus S.
I am good with the EVO but I would go with the Nexus S.
I'm sticking with the EVO for a while... I haven't been this satisfied or entertained with a phone for this long, EVER. As technology improves (ie. dual core processing), I will eventually get something new. I'm just not stalking any new phones as of yet. I give myself another 6-12mos, before I really want to try something else... Who knows, my EVO might actually last the length of 2yr my contract.
More than likely one of the Verizon LTE phones. I just read an article where Verizon said they're going to continue offering unlimited data so now I just need to see how they're going to price their LTE plans. Sprint has been good to me but I want to be able to use 4G inside my house if im paying for it.

+1. My next phone must have at least the same size screen and more features, including gpu.
I would be willing to switch carriers, but not manufacturers. My single biggest complaint with the entire industry is the horrible battery life, and non-htc phones are too much trouble to mod...which means less of a community to develop fixes.

Ramiss,
I disagree I think Motorola has such a big user base and development community that it would be a great alternative to HTC. I was honestly considering the droid bionic since I wasnt to impressed with both sprint and tmobiles ces showing I thought that was one of the better phones available because of the network it was on and because of the power it had...
i think the nexus s will be my next upgrade when we switch. the only thing i do not like is no sd card.
jesus, i checked checked out prices at verizon and it's down right outrageous.
id actually be much better off with tmobile, id even save some $$ compared to what i pay sprint.
Got my evo on launch day, so I can upgrade in June. As of right now, I don't see any phone worth upgrading to. I want a phone with at least the same specs as the evo, except for screen size. If there is a phone with great stats, and a smaller screen, I would go to that.
As many of you, the Evo is the best phone I have owned. The only thing that would make it better for me, would be a higher res screen, and dual core. So unless I see a phone with those specs, I'll keep the evo.
HTC thunderbolt. For sure.

I really don't see the need of dual cores in a cell phone, unless you guys plan on playing Need for Speed while the phone is also converting a Blu-ray ISO into AVI format in the background.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
Droid Bionic, but I want something on Sprint.
I've had (literally) everything at this point, and sprint would have to do something colossally stupid to make me give up my evo.
That said, if I went to tmo, right now id go for the nexus ONE. Its a brilliant device, I've not been impressed with the galaxy line from sammy yet.

U might think about the evo shift. I wouldn't want it but if u want a smaller screen then that would be a plus. Even though the processor is 200 mhz slower it manages it better than the evo. The quadrant tests I have seen ran on it are very high. I love my evo too much to leave it yet. I myself am not impressed with the evo shift but the screen is smaller, it is kind of the smaller version of the evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the original Evo and the new Evo Shift and that little puppy can fly...lol. I'll be elgible for an upgrade this April because I bought one of those Google I/O released Evos off ebay, sold it, then bought another Evo for full retail and i also bought my Evo Shift for full price. Therefore, my contract never changed and I still get to upgrade in April. Therefore, I'm going to wait to see if Sprint has something up their sleeve like an Evo 2 or something. I love Sprint's pricing and customer service and really don't want to leave. But if I have to, I'll probably go with Verizon and get the Motorola Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt.
I bought a Nexus S and that phone was a joke imo. the only good thing is that you're the first to get updates. Other than that the phone is all that. It had too many issues so I sold mine.
I'm thinking of switching to sprint, which means a new phone (yay) and as I browse my phone options I hear a lot of good things about the Evo. My question for you guys is, is the evo shift pretty much the same as the evo just with the slide out keyboard? is one somehow "better" in some aspects then the other? I would love to have the keyboard but to be honest I usually use the on screen one anyways on my current phone (Tmobile G2).
My second question is, which other phones would you say are worth considering as well?
Lastly, I'm also thinking of switching to Verizon when the Thunderbolt comes out. The main reason I'm switching is because I'm pissed off that Tmobile is cutting my internet speed after I reach 5 GB bandwidth and I know that Sprint and Verizon are the two providers that don't do that. However It appears that Verizon will charge you a higher fee once you go over 10gb bandwidth, which would be ok if the Thunderbolt is really cool

The Shift is basically the G2. The Evo is basically the Thunderbolt. The Evo has more dev support
The thunderbolt is a bump from the Evo but the Evo so far got some great developer suppport , thunderbolt might see that but is kind of late to.come out with a phone like that from HTC and verizon, so imo I wouldn't get it. The shift has a smaller screen not ffc but it has a near procesor.so is practicly faster then the Evo, I'll say wait till CTIA to see if sprint got something even better for June
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
i like the evo 4g over the shift. IMO i think there is no point of having a slide out keyboard if you have a touch screen. i love touch screen keyboards. as far as the screen i LOVE how big the evos screen is. it makes my texting and just overall looking at the phone better.

Waiting for Sprint's CTIA announcement is good advice:
http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-s-4g-evo-3d-and-evo-view-tablet-all-coming-sprint-ctia
So, here's the situation... My contract is up with Sprint and trying to decide whether to stay or go. If I decide to stay with Sprint will probably go with the EVO 3d, want to stay loyal to the EVO, best phone ever. Or should I have a change of heart and go with something else or even swap out to another carrier? Too many choices.
Q: What would you do and what Phone would you get next???
Well why don't u just wait for the EVO 3d to come out and read the reviews ....if its good the buy it....if jot the go with another phone like the nexus s or maybe a different carrier.
Pick your carrier, pick one that gives you good service for the price and value for where you live. That should always be your number one concern when it comes to a cell phone, not which phone you want.
You need to decide that before you start getting phone recommendations.
I think if you are up for upgrade and your contract also ends soon, like Pao23 said, first make sure you are with a carrier that offers good service. People talk about AT&T being terrible, but I live in North Carolina and the service is about as good as any since Cingular started in this area. Sprint is pretty good where I live, except terrible at my office. If I was out of contract I would change.
In terms of phone I think any of the 1Ghz+ dual core phones are a smart buy. Evo 3D, LG 2x, or even the Atrix. Any of those are going to be like the Evo and not feel old for a while. They will probably get more OS updates. Anything older is going to leave you wanting in a year.
That has been the nice thing about the Evo. The Droid X, Droid 2, Inspire 4G, MyTouch 4G, Atrix, etc. have all come out, but never left me feeling like my phone was old and janky.
Not sure about u but sprint has the best deal I think. I pay 69.99 + 10.00 -23% off for me and +5.00 for sprint to home. So the sprint to home goes to my google voice number and with the google voice app every call I make is free. And like others say at&t stinks I think, I live in MN. And with the new HTC Evo coming out that should make you want to stay lol.
The only other provider to think about would be t mobile unless you want to pay big money. I dont love sprint but I sure got a good deal and the service is great here.

Sorry for OT, but everything good after the Tornados?
I vote either G2x or Evo 3d, but either way I would wait until the 3d comes out to decide.
Like others said, depends on which carrier gets good service where you are.

the Evo is still a great phone. I don't game so I haven't found an app which is slow or that makes me want to upgrade. The Evo has a fantastic dev community and I'm thinking I will wait until I really need to upgrade. The longer you wait, the better the phones that are available.

I voted stay with sprint and keep the Evo. It's still one of the highest rated phones on the market, and the best phone for Sprint (assuming you like sense or don't like slide-outs). Sprint may not have the best coverage but they are so much cheaper than anyone else in the contract game. When the Evo 3D comes out I may trade my Evo in for it, but that depends on the reviews.
I would probably wait unless you wanted to switch carriers. Let the dual cores roll out so can see what's up with them.
Perhaps we will see a dual core nexus

Hmmm peoples problems with the One XL
No microsd card (Evo 4G LTE has it)
Bigger battery (Evo 4G LTE has it)

I love my Evo 4G and My contract is up for renewal this october, I plan on rocking this bad boy.
Love it or hate it the Evo 4G is one of those devices like the G1, The Droid and the Galaxy S that have made a significant impact on where android is today. I'mm glad to see the Evo name continue
i honestly cannot wait any longer for this!
Am really happy about this phone. if sgs3 takes too long then am going with this. Also happy they have something better than apple, the camera is a killer, and i miss sense.
im happy about this device. I love how they reverted back to the old style of the OG evo yet kept the new one series look to. They merge together perfectly. And the specs are awesome too

Keeping the Evo line with Sprint seems to be a great idea. I like the kick stand. Looks bold!
Preorders start May 7, any guesses on how long after that before its released?
The back is the only thing bothering me with this refresh of the Evo line. I hope this renews my faith with the Evo line I was a huge fan of the 4g I had a 32g sd that was stocked with ROMS and apps for it I had never seen a phone with such a development following like the Evo 4g then came the 3D and that phone pissed me off I had it replaced 5 times and I'm still getting intermittent problems with the screen, audio issues but I'm done with continuing to go back and forth having a tech look at phone to only replace with a refurbished POS. let's hope this bring us back to Glory days of the original Evo 4g.

They are not unlimited. 12GB and bam this crap.
I have had the Evo 4g since launch, and it has been an amazing phone. I have loved it even more since I rooted it and every new rom I try. But my girlfriend seems to be in love with the note, and I have to admit, that big a$$ screen is kind of nice. I'm just not sure that I would put it to its fullest use for very long, liek using the stylus and stuff. And by the looks fo the forums for the Note, there are only a couple roms for it. Not saying I need to have as many roms available as I have had with my 4g, but it would be a plus.
I guess I am wondering if I should consider the note, or if the galaxy s3 might fit the bill better. Or should I stick with sprint and grab and Evo LTE?
I'm not asking you to make up my mind for me, I need to play with the phones and do that myself. Just wondering if anybody has any opinions or advice?

This is a good point. Why not stick with that HTC goodness? lol
Seriously, though, I do admit that the Note is impressive, both in size and performance. While not too much more impressive than the rest of the Galaxy SII series (especially the Skyrocket), the screen size is instantly what gets people's attention. I've tested the Note, and I do like its appearance and style...but damn, that One X is sexy
I don't know, it's up to you on this one. The Note isn't too much more expensive than the One X, and Samsung's UI is easy to get used to. You get a nice phone either way.
HTC EVO 4G LTE pretty much is the one x + the SD card,kick stand and removeable battery haha..the note..ehhh,I'd just get the s3 for sprint...can't mess with unlimited data plans..perfect for root + free wifi tether/hot spot....wireless network speeds don't really effect me,as along as I can make a phone call b do basic browsing...there's usually a wifi connection for downloads n updates nowadays

I wanted something different. Nothign against HTC, I loved my evo. And truth be told I may prefer sense to touchwiz. But we, my girlfriend and I picked up a couple notes. The screen size is amazing, no complaints there. Battery life the past couple days has been in the 10-12 hour range, which seems a little low to me since it was with less then moderate use. But then again I am comparing to my rooted evo running decks reloaded and mason SBC which would last forever, lol.
I was hoping to be more wowed by the note like I was when I got my evo. But I think the jump from a blackberry curve to the evo was a bit more of a wow move then what moving fromt he evo to the note is. The note is a great phone, and my girlfriend loves it. I need to really get my hands dirty with it and see what it can do, but I am keeping my options open.

That's expected; jumping from one OS to the other is way different than just switching phone manufacturers. Android to Android isn't that amazing; Android to iOS (or, preferably the other way around ) is.
Either way, seems you're warming up to your phone nicely. Always good to hear that. If you stick with it, great. If not, I would recommend the One X should this phone disappoint down the road. You have some time to test drive it, so get what you can out of it before making that final decision.

I would make the decision based on; what 3G speeds you get now, if where you live will get Sprint's LTE soon, and if you already have Wimax coverage.

I am in columbus OH, I have 4G on both att and sprint and i imagine ATT and sprint will both have LTE here by the end of the year.
I haven't read up much on the HTC One X or the Samsung Galaxy SIII, but one thing iI loved about the evo was how easy it was to root/flash and not brickbrick the thing. Looking at the note forums, I see a lot of posts about bricked phones. Granted I haven't read all the details, but it seems rooting/flashing is less safe on the note, which kind of sucks. Are the One X or SIII any easier to root/flash?
Just realized I was viewing the international note forums. The art note forums seem a little more user friendly

Personally I would get a Wimax device OFF contact (Epic Touch is Sprint's best Wimax device), and wait til the end of the year to see if LTE will actually come. Then make my decision. If you are completely done with Sprint though, just jump ship now. No reason to wait.
