I'm not quite sure why you think one question mark isn't adequate, but anyway... you're fine to buy something from Amazon. Probably safer than buying from eBay. Or you can just check your local listings (craigslist) and meet someone in person to check the phone out first.
Not sure what you mean by "how will this work for me" because any Sprint dealer can wipe the phone and activate it on your account.

you talking about brand new from amazon .. right?
then it should not be any issues...
but canceling...I think you might want to read the fine print from Amazon. I think they add a few of thier own charges for canceling before 3 months or so.

I say buy it I got a Samsung galaxy s ( ATT ) just to try it out and it came fast and is like buying it from the store , plus I returned it tho I wasn't going to stay with it but I wanted to try amazon wireless and the Samsung galaxy phone (besides the epic ) and I don't pay anything to amazon only the bill for ATT but not ETF

Samsung Epic Touch

I'm posting this thread to kinda get some opinions about the new Epic coming out this October. I personally can't wait because all of these developers put in hard work making these roms, kernels & themes for the Epic as is so it will be interesting to see their creativity.

Opinion

- Screen is slightly big for myself...but I'll adapt, I'm sure.

I traded my evo 4g for an evo 3d the same day it came out,
returned it at 29 days. I've been on a palm pre ever since, considered the photon but I preordered the gs2 yesterday because exynos was all I needed to hear.
besides that I'm definitely bringing some dev skills to the table. #savaged-zen lol

Great, im glad to see great devs just as ready for this phone as well. I'd love to learn how to make themes

Keyboard keyboard
The touch looks real nice but i cant stand the onscreen keyboard. it takes up OVER half of the screen as you type. i would give up the "thin-ness" anyday for the 5 row qwerty

Also the keyboarded phones compared to touch only phones show there is no noticable difference in battery life.

Is the Wal Mart pre order in store only or is there a special link? Anyone know if they deal with SEROP lines? Having a hell of a time trying to pre order with my SEROP.

So WalMart can deliver the phone before Sprint themeself can? That's odd

I'd be very surprised if they shipped it before the 16th.
I'm wondering how porting my number would work with the Walmart Wireless deal. I pre-ordered already through WireFly and filled in all my number porting from Verizon. I don't know how difficult it would be to get the phone normally from Walmart and then port my number after the fact. If I can get details on how easy it is to port without doing it during the ordering process, I might switch my pre-order to Walmart Wireless.
EDIT: I've switched my pre-order to the WalMart one.
But I'm not seeing the release date on the site.

Heres where i ordered the epic touch
walmart.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId=39607&corpId=522[/url]

Go directly to letstalk.com. the overnight shipping is free and you can put in a code "take20back" to get 20% off. If you start from the Walmart site it is slightly different and overnight shipping is $19.
I also confirmed twice, that if you are on a family plan and use one line to upgrade and want to switch phones after you receive the new phone to different number on same plan you can do it. As long as you call let's talk customer service/activation department to do the swap.

If the GS3 has a ceramic casing, it is not gonna have a removable battery.

I doubt it wouldn't have a removable battery

well ima hit target up sunday and see what this is all about

Any phone without a removable battery is an instant no in my book. I like my semi-hot swappable batteries.

But i hate how Samsung phones spec differ in America compared to abroad, this means less dev support. Every one s ( considering it or S3 ) will be the same all over the world, just like the sensation and other HTC phones. Also, we might end up getting the S3 around Christmas with the way US carriers lag.

It will drop around the same time as the iPhone 5

Confirmed at my local radio shack yesterday they will be doin the pre order!

Buying an international version solves that problem. I know you have to pay full prize but you can use your upgrade and sell it here so that you can make up some of the total cost. Also there is no AT&T branding on international version which is awesome. I hate that AT&T logo on nice looking phones

Agreed we don't know how it will look and I'm guessing it will not have a removable battery as well if rumors of ceramic casing are true.

I read somewhere that the Next Galaxy will have a simultaneous world release date (US carriers included); it has something to do with the way the GS2 sold.
That would prolly keep them from making the same mistake like they did making the US G-Nex a Verizon exclusive. Back to the main topic, I will be preordering the One X and if I dont like it I could always sell it and wait for GS3.

Xaccom - Really Cheap Devices.. Too Good to Be True?

I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I guess it kinda applies to this forum.
Anyways, this company apparently has really good deals. But I'm sure if they are a real/reputable company. I mean according to the post, the have brand new devices. Like a Galaxy Note for $300 and an iPhone 4S 16GB for $280. I think these deals are too good to be true, but if they are real, I want to buy things!

How much would you spend?

I'm not going to bother whether you'd still buy one or not...I think i know the answer :laugh:
I had been leaning HEAVILY toward an ipad mini as my first tablet.
Talk me out of it
I'd prefer to stay with android so I can root and have all my apps and the things I know and love.
However, I just haven't found a form factor that i like. The 16:10 is just too skinny on the 7" IMHO.
Then i found out about this 7.7 and I'd love to have one.
I actually only need the wifi version but that looks harder to come by??
I'm on ATT. On the GSM version, can I just take my sim out and use it for data in the tablet?
Besides those questions, how would you pay for your tablet if you had to purchase it today?
I'd pay the $350 a ipad mini would cost me.
However, the ones I see are $450+

I'm browsing these forums because I'm eying the refurbished Galaxy Tab 7.7 Verizon 4G on eBay for $250... so I'm guessing you can get it for well under $450. Considering returning my Nexus 7 for it...

I saw some wifi only for buy it now or best offer on ebay. Not sure I want to go that route from Taiwan. I wonder how much vzw would charge outright without month to month. I bet if they would have kept the price down this thing would have been hard to keep in stock...

The pictures is this ebay ad show the 6800...
you see the green telephone icon in the lower left??
The 6810 doesnt have that..
"IF" you get the 6800.. then YES, you can move your ATT sim card there and BAM! An exact duplicate of your smart phone and it's features...
including phone calls, receiving phone, send and receive TXT messages and mms.. everything your existing smart phone does.. same phone number..
it all followes your sim card.
I do it and many others on here do it too..
BUT, you cant do it with the 6810 or Verizons version..
they dont have sim card slots... good luck

6810 is wifi.
6800 is wifi+3g
Sch-i815 is VERIZON wifi+LTE
As stated earlier, you can have wifi AND full phone functionality with the 6800 with your at&t sim.
Don't get the i815 unless you have service with Verizon or unless you plan to use it for wifi only. You can only get data service (phone functionality is disabled) with the Verizon i815 if you have a Verizon account on the stock rom only.
If you want to use cyanogenmod or aosp roms please note that our tab shares most of its internal hardware with the international galaxy s2 and international galaxy note, which means full jelly bean butter is not functional until Samsung releases the right source.

I paid $400 for mine... New from Verizon a few months ago and I still think it's worth it. The iPad mini isn't really a consideration for me, even for $50 less.
But I think the 7.7 is pretty close to perfection.

I had p6800 from end of January. Then at the beginning of December, I broke the screen and needed to decide what replacement devicebto take. I liked Ipad Mini for form factor and casing. But ultimatelly the iOS and poor specifications put me off. Nexus 7 3G is nice but the screen is too small. Anything that is 8.9 inch or larger is too large for me. So I bought another p6800. It is significantly better than the original as it does not suffer from yellowish discoloration of the screen which the original had. I think there is still no competition for p6800 out there (if you don't care for high computing / video generating power but you need smallndevice with good /though somehow dark/ screen and battery life).

On the verizon website it doesn't have an off contract price. Do you buy month to month and cancel? There are activation fees and first month charges.
Thanks for the feed back folks.

If I go with just wifi does it matter what model I go with? I'll be rooting and checking out the roms available bit probably stick with cm. I use mostly 3rd party apps. I'll load nova launcher, boat browser Swift key and enhanced email for sure.

Well, I decided to bite for $250. Versus the Nexus 7 that I have for $200, the extra $50 is worth it to me for the screen alone. I'm not going to be using data so I don't care about Verizon vs. AT&T etc. concerns.

Ahhh. You are tempting me! I'll sleep on it.... 250 really isn't a bad price. I'll probably do it lol!

This tablet is beautiful man. I just acquired a nexus 10 and I'm having a a hard time deciding on changing my setup from galaxy nexus/gtab 7.7 to gnote 2/nexus 10. The nexus 10 flies like you wouldnt believe man, but the non-portable size and non amoled screen are keeping me from leaving this tab

I do love my galaxy not phone. Don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.
I thought pretty hard on getting the nexus 10 but I know it would be too big for my first tab. With a 5.3" phone it would be hard to 'just' go to the nexus 7 but i did like how it felt in hand. I almost went I pad mini to broaden my tech consumption with ios but at the end of the day I know I'd want to customize it too much
