EDIT: So I've found someone to trade their Epic with me. I appreciate all of the e-mails and am glad forums like this one exist. Thanks again!
So, anyone tired of their Epic yet? Wanna trade? I have a White HTC Evo 4g that I want to trade for your Epic. I had an Epic before and want to go back to it. The Evo's GPS is amazingly accurate (unlike the Epics) and the bigger screen and no keyboard is great! It also comes with Swype now, STOCK! The ONLY way to text!
So the reason I switched was the fact that I NEVER use the keyboard and the lack of an official Froyo update.
Anyway, the phone is in great condition, comes with half a dozen snap-on cases, the stock 8gb micro sd card, and an extra OEM battery as well as the charger. All I want is the stock Epic with the oem 16gb micro sd and the charger. If you're interested, PM me.

I feel bad for you. I don't think you will get any sucker to do a exchange. Evo us junk. But good lyck.
I'll trade if you're in the DC area
If you can send it first and send me pics, Im game. Mine is mint with stock froyo ( over the web update, so it wiped everything), extra battery, extra battery door and all the stuff it came with including the box. it does have a pink skin and purple/hot pink case on it right now. I have pics on flickr... but since this is my first post i cant post the link! Ive been a lurker here for months, but when I saw your post I had to respond. I also have it listed for trade on sprintusers dot com. same username.
why would someone do an even trade for an evo? isnt the epic worth more money?
I think sprint dropped their price to match the Evo. but yes I did pay more for my Epic at the time.
I would trade you. Mine is flashed to DK28 with latest VIPERrom Trinity v 2.0 with Genocide 1.2Ghz OC.

I am in DC as well and have not had luck trying to trade someone for an Evo. Nothing from CL has panned out. I really want to trade mainly to get CyanogenMod that is supported by the project as a whole, I love the work that Noobnl has done but coming from the G1 and there is nothing like the official CM in my opinion and they almost have 4g on the EVO...
If you are still interested in trading PM me...

Not a good trade, no offense but evo is not a great trade for epic.

My opinion is if you love having tons of ROMs and kernels to pick from then get an Evo, if you want good hardware get an Epic. Also I'm not saying the Evo is not a good phone either I'd love to have one.
But when it comes down to it, it's all based on what you like.

Thank you
For anyone who's read this thread and posted, thank you for keeping the conversation civil. Too many threads appear to be getting hijacked but all of you kept it on target. I'm sure that's only helped me to find someone to trade with. So again, I say thank you for showing respect to not only me but to your fellow posters.
Hey everyone.
Well sadly, and happily the time has come for me to move on to another device. The epic, while having great potential just did not hit the mark. While many of you may disagree, etc, the truth is simple; The Epic4G had much more potential than Samsung/Sprint allowed it to have.
So now I say my farewell to the Epic dev community. I will still be around, and if you need to contact me you can do so via PM, or find me in IRC @ irc.freenode.net #G2x
As some of you know, I recently decided to switch carriers to T-Mobile, and I am getting a G2x. My new device arrives tomorrow, and I am quite excited to begin dev'ing on a new phone, with a lot more power.
Good luck to everyone, and I hope to see you on the other side
We're going to miss you. Thanks for all you've done.
Thanks Dameon you did SO much for this community

Thanks Dameon! Leaving with class and style! I like it. Maybe when the G2s hit Sprint you can throw together some stuff for us, even though I got awhile before I can upgrade.
Thanks for all you've done. Good luck with the new device.
thanks for all your work.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Have fun with the new device.
I've read reviews on it, and it looks to be plagued with battery life issues and random reboots on stock. So I'm sure you'll make that community very happy with fixes.
Talk about a traitor!
I'm jking dude. I'm sure there was a logical reason behind you switching to tmo, even though you will be an AT&T customer with their outrageous prices.
Just saying.
Take care

I hear you get 150 for your evo so final price is I guess based on how much sprint gives you the phone for on an upgrade.
I feel so sorry for all these devs who are investing in the ****tie 3D but fail to realize when new releases from Sprint comes later in July to September, it'll blow their kiddie spy phone out the water. Plus they just blew their upgrade. . oh well.
Farewell devs, you've been well appreciated.
Stop saying goodbye, just leave.

Why copy and paste this crappy statement in the threads over and over?
Chubbz thanks for all you brought to the EVO and all you will bring to the 3d.
The 3d is far from a crappy phone. I really hope you stop using other devs work with this attitude. Honestly, you can't comprehend the amount of time it takes to develope a ROM you use free... And if a dev wants to say good bye to those who they have become friends with, let them. Certainly don't appreciate or need comments like this around here. What have you contibuted? Thought so.

I'm at my 1 year upgrade but they said is only $75 off the retail price so it will cost my $475 plus I have to sign a 1 year contract. Also I'm on my 4th replacement in a month but they also won't let me switch to another phone since they say none is comparable....i talked to management and fought and fought for an hour and for nothing.....
Also didn't know they did trade-ins either, no one at Sprint offered me that....

Yes devs contribute a lot and we praise each one of them just the same but why do you all have to post a thread each just to wish farewells. I get it may be said out of respect but i dont know. Plus sometimes I feel as if some devs takes advantage from us with their "buy me a beer" attitude. Believe me, I'm all for giving praise where place is due but I can live just fine without rooting or a rom, live moves on.
Anywho, like i said. Farewell

I figure this is a xda forum between friends, and I have enjoyed these threads just for the "human element" they contain. We all appreciate the labor of love that developers put into their roms, and when they feel the desire to say goodbye to their friends, acquaintances, and flash addicts it is good for the community.
IMO, ignoreance is greater than dissidence.

Just got off the phone with my local corporate store:
I'm eligible for the 1-year upgrade discount (currently 1 year into my 2 year contract). So, if I was looking into getting the 3D right now, it'd be 550-150 (Evo trade-in credit) - 75 (1-year upgrade credit) = $325 + Contract renewal for the 3D. Think I'll wait for a drop in price. Either that, or flip the EVO on Craigslist.

I have been here on xda for awhile so I received alot of knowledge from the devs and flashers so I decided to say thanks and move on to bigger and better things. The reason why ppl put a donation or buy me a beer link is because ppl asked for a link it not required.
Thanks all.
thanx Chubbz,thanx Leo,thanx to all the devs.This is what owning an Android phone is all about.These guys push our devices as far as they can go.They give us variety at the cost of their time and money.Its a cycle,waiting for more and better.
Ok, not sure if this is going to be cool with the moderators or not, so if not, lock/delete it. I have an idea...let's encourage the devs to spend a bit more time looking at the EVO Shift...by offering up a cash incentive to the first person or team that gets us properly rooted on Gingerbread. Maybe offer to Paypal them some cash? i know I'd chip in. Heck, right now I'll say I'll paypal $50 to the first person or team that gets me rooted. If everyone chipped in, even a few bucks, it could really add up and create an incentive...

I haven't heard about anyone working on it. I believe they are working on it for other devices.
Throw me down for $50 as well.
So, we've got $100 already...come on...lets offer some incentive for the devs to come back to the EVO Shift for a while...
Im telling you the devices they work on are related to the shift and they can port the same methods. They are already working on the shift and other devices related to it
So, therefore us offering a reward helps not only Shift owners but others too. Fantastic!
count me in! I desperatyl need to get rid of 2.3 because mobilenet doesnt compatible with my metropcs flash! so ill throw 25-50 sumthing in between!
Lol I think our shifts are gunna be left behind cus seems like everyone's focusin on the EVO or EVO 3 d
Sucks for us shift owners

I remember the same talk regarding rooting 2.2.... everyone saying no one was working on it and then BAM! Root.
The thing is development doesn't get done on XDA. When it's done it gets posted to XDA. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it ain't. Imagine you're a dev: Would you post that you're working on it if you're unsure if you can do it? It'd accomplish nothing but dissapointment.
^ Shift Faced
reward
Last i checked theres a reward offer in the Evo forum also. It was up to 300 i think a couple days ago.
Nice! Hopefully once one is rooted, either one, the other one will be that much easier.
I know it is fustrating to wait I am among the many waiting for the same thing. That being said you never hear what the developers are working on because they dont want to give off any clues to htc as to what they are doing so HTC dont send a silent OTA to seal up any exploits that may gain root for us. But to the team that does get the job dont I will be donating to them definatly I cant wait to get my hotspot back for my Iconia Tablet when I am on the road.
50 to 100
I would throw in 50 to 100 just to get this ****ty rom off my phone and a hooker to tongue there balls.

I saw on Twitter that Fre3vo is supposed to be updated to support the Shift now. So that should mean that at least temp root is possible.

I recently switched over to Verizon and got a Razr MAXX (or is it RAZR Maxx?). anyway, I have a T-Mobile Vibrant to get rid of. The XDA community has done so much for me and helping me keep my phone in tip-top shape that I've decided to give back.
The phone was returned to stock JFD. No bells and whistles, and the included 2 gb microSD is with it, with the Avatar movie intact. I have the original charging cord, the two included backs, a CaseMate case AND (big surprise) the Samsung 1650 mAh along with the stocker 1500 mAh battery.
if the phone goes to a Dev for the sole purpose of helping out the Vibrant community, it will go to him/her for free and I'll pay for shipping. if there isn't a Dev out there that needs the phone, I'm asking $100 not including shipping. I think that's fair with the CaseMate case and extra battery. the only wear on the phone is around the charging port.
thanks XDA!

Not to bash you or whatnot, but all your topics are guides or help, not development. Except for maybe the one about making the Cliq camera better.
Not saying you haven't contributed to the community (you definitely have), but I think maybe for someone developing roms, kernels, fixes is more entitled to the free phone. If you feel different I'm not one to tell you you're wrong, I'm just saying.

Not sure about the Cliq camera part as I have no idea what that is.
I have all the source downloaded and have it synced to github, I just need a device to apply it too that is not my daily driver. All I said was that I have sent him a PM and have been looking for one for some time. I know that I don't have any development topics, hence why I am wanting to get another phone.
Frankly this post pissed me off. It'll pass but I'm just saying
