I used to have an Evo, Epic4G, now Iphone 4 and that is my main issue... Is BORING!

I was in the same boat. I took the plunge and glad i did. Love the Atrix.

I'd keep the iPhone.

how do you have an iphone on sprint?

Didn't someone just ask this....
Look at your life. Does the iphone do everything you need or want it to do? If so, keep it, if not then do some research on the features of other phones and see if they do what you need.
Don't let someone else make your decisions for you.

atrix is AT&T. I would say go for it. As an android user I can tell you that there is nothing the iPhone can do that the matrix won't do, and there are so many things that android does that iOS doesn't.

HUH i know atrix is AT&T? I own an atrix on AT&T?
ahh you're on the XDA app. On the website, if you look at the left part of his post under his username, you'll see that he tagged himself on Sprint. Thus, my question, "how do you have an iphone on sprint?"
and im sure you meant atrix not matrix ;D stupid autocorrect.

I miss my iphone. Android 2.2 blows compared to ios 4.3 imo. The screen sucks and its slow.
I wouldn't settle for any locked down android phone if I had to choose again. For now my atrix is a dedicated hotspot for my ipad2 and laptop.

where i am, the iphone and atrix seems like a quick trade. look on craigslist?
but be prepared to be tackled with tethering charges XD

i'd switch, then again i never had an iphone. my wife does and i hate the thing. i also had a palm pre (awesome phone but the development for apps sucks).
anyways, good luck on your decision.

u ask this is the atrix forum u going to get bias opinion

Decided to test out how strong the Gorilla Glass on the Epic is.

You'd be surprised at how strong this phone is. Survived keys and knives. Really took some strength to make the crack you see.

I was at a party and my phone hit the support of a bed deadcenter of the screen, and it cracked at the point where the light sensor is. I want to cry whenever I'm not in low light which is often lol.

Plastic != glass. Did the glass remain intact? I ask because, you know, that's what this thread is about, as evidenced by the title.

Strong for awhile
I dropped the phone repeatedly for a year(im a clutz). Then i decided to talk with my phone between my shoulder and ear while walking down the steps... i think you can guess where this goes. The whole thing is shattered. Still works though

Yea I like the 4S it's awesome and all, but idk it's to similar to the 4 for I can't wait for iPhone 5 to drop....I must say that iOS 5 is looking pretty awesome, and from what I've demoed it is awesome....you like your 4S?

I love it. I've been using the tethering on my Epic to download apps. I played Infinity Blade on it and omg that game is amazing. Siri is very useful. It's exactly what I wanted in a speech to text system. I had the original iphone (my first smart phone besides the helio ocean) which was horrible. I dislike the lack of customization and using itunes. The screen is much better than the Epic but you can see how overly Saturated stuff is. Everything works well. I am not an apple fan boy by any means. I'm studying Java to develop for Android. It's good to see what the competition is like. The apps really attract me on the iphone. I don't really want an ipad though because it sounds like a feminine cleaning product and because I'd feel like a douche carrying one around with me everywhere.

i wish the battery is great so i can play games with it...

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

Just waiting for a JB AOSP/AOKP or CM10 release in a few weeks hopefully.
I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

sent from your mom's phone.

Picking up a GS3 from Verizon tomorrow. Sad to leave this awesome Sprint community and my first smartphone that actually lasted me the entire length of the contract. Also kinda sad that I'm gonna have to keep track of data and hope for workarounds with the Verizon version of the device. But I'll be saving money by jumping back onto my family plan (now that they all have data too, only gonna cost me $40 instead of $75 by myself on Sprint) and the improved signal and service should be nice as well. Thanks to all the developers and members here for doing some AWESOME stuff with the Epic 4G for sure!

I have a fun fact for you "upgraders". Your S3 is going to be new, shiny, and exciting. For us late bloomers who got the epic a year after you did, well, let's just say the LTE quad cores with unreleased swag and EPIC upgrades will make you butthurt. So there!!!!! Yes, I might be an idiot.

LMAO!!! thanks for your honesty dude

I got my white price matched with absolutely no issues, try it out... also I am returning the s III and waiting out for the Photon Q ... I thought I could do without the keyboard, but I miss it too much. I am not as productive with the virtual keyboard as I am with a regular keyboard. It's not even that the VK is soo bad, but I am more likely to put off things like enter calendar dates and take notes and reminders because it is more of a hassle than with a physical keyboard. It was also a bit too big for me to comfortably use with one hand.
Bottom line is if you are thinking about switching but are attached to the keyboard, you may want to wait for a little longer to see if another slider comes out. I think a 4.3" slider with a 720p screen would be absolutely perfect.

I just played with the GS3 and I have to say it doesn't feel as solid in hand as the gnex, gs2, and especially the evo lte. However, it seemed the most fluid of them all.

Depends on the BBY. I walked in, asked some questions about the buyback and protection plans, then said, hey, do you price match Radioshack's deal; the associate called Radioshack, they said $150, he said okay. Color wasn't even a thing.
