Been following everyone going from HeroC to Evo shift. did loads of research as im picky about my phone. just took the plunge 2 hours ago and has not looked back!! i almost dont want to root it cause its already fast as F*$%
so point being: thank you to all the XDA devs and mods, and everyone else that points in there 2 cents and effort.
look forward to messing with this bad boy

If i can add to this thread. After reading specs i was going to get an epic. But after reading almost everything here im getting a shift. I havent seen one bad comment on it yet!! Thank you everyone on here!!

I'm sure I bad mouthed it initially, but I'm anal about my phones. Let's just say it has started to grow on me. The future looks bright

It's really a great phone, especially coming from a Heroc. Heck, I barely use the keyboard cuz' I have gotten used to "swyping"
...and the phone is smooth, fast, and all that jazz.

Is swype preinstalled on the shift?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

It isn't, but but the Swype beta was open last time I checked so go apply!
My only gripe is the screen size seems so small.

So true. I started on xda a few months after the buying a g1 (in November 2008), and left almost a year ago due to the rude attitudes. Coming back to the shift forum has been a nice surprise.

I used to own an Epic and man there is a hell of a lot of drama over there. Even on their IRC...the truth is that there are just not enough handsets out there yet. Dicks will eventually buy it and then start trolling here.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I agree. I think 3D is the most pointless 'innovation' since the cable card. Heck watching anything 3D makes my wife vomit and gives most of the people in my family headaches (I don't have either of those but I think its pointless). With very few exceptions, 3D is used as a gimmick. A hand pops out of the screen and wooshes over the audience. Does it look cool? Sure, but it also serves to immediately remind the audience that they are watching a screen. As an actor that just bothers me. The point of watching a movie/TV show/play is to be wrapped up in a story and a good one should make you forget you're watching anything.
Avatar is the only movie in 3D I've seen that I felt did that to a decent extent and even then there were still a few moments in there that just made me feel like they were shouting in my face "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!"

This will happen the moment a "one-click" root method is available.

It will be up to us to keep them in line, and keep our little piece of the world free of riff raff.
The Hero forum really wasn't that bad to be honest with you either.

Kyocera Echo cases...

If you thought the Echo was bad, wait till you start seeing the horrendous clamshell cases start popping up for it. Sprint has suddenly regain it's status as the laughing stock of the mobile world.

not fair, kin was marketed for teenagers, verizon just did it dirty with pricing

Two batteries.... why not two cases?
"With just three small movements you can unease your phone, transform it. and recase your 'tablet'! The tablet case also has a hinge on it, that can break while you go to PC mode! If you're buying a terrible phone, why not get a case that's just as bad?"

you know, i thought of this last night, as soon as i saw it, first though huh, how the he$# are they going to make a case for this that doesn't make it as bulky as it already looks, well good luck on that design, lol.

I showed my roommate this phone, (he has a palm pixi) and he asked when its coming out. He's screwed because he jumped on a pixi and his contract ends this summer. He better hope an evo 2 comes out of nowhere.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

I doubt sales will be strong enough to see a significant line of accessories for this. In another month or two, the echo will be one of the free with contract phones.

This will mean less than nothing in terms of their day to day biz. It's still his company. I have my issues with them but objectively speaking there's a lot to admire about him and Apple. (No, I don't and won't own their products, but I don't have to be a tribalist either.)

iPhone gets flash now, Steve jumps off a cliff.

honestly, I hope apple can keep up the momentum he started. If iphone didn't start the trend, we may never have gotten android, and if the 2 didn't keep trying to 1up eachother, android wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Competition drives innovation. I wish apple luck... if only to keep a fire lit under google's ass

That is true ... we all know what happens with monopolies .... competition is always good for the consumers

Why oh Why Samsung!

READ THIS

Cause they is inept.......Plain and simples!
They have THE best phone currently available in the market (SGS2), one of the best tablets (10.1) and about to have the mutha of ALL phones (Galaxy Nexus), SO you have to ask yourself a question about the motivation of a company who seems to be hell-bent on cementing their place in the market as a rip-off merchant.
At least Apple try and pretend to have come up with an idea (by preaching out the usual "innovate" subliminal dictorate) BEFORE launching their attack dogs. Sammy just blatantly highlight>copy>paste>plagiarise and HOPE that no-one else in the world has eyes, sense, access to a computer or quite simply the nous to notice what they have done.
What is the Korean for "IDIOTS"?

Rofl, thats hilarious!

This is ingenious, i think we're not giving them enough credit. Now when apple sues them they can say "clearly our products are different enough for anyone to spot the difference" and cases get thrown out of court. Or maybe their just stupid as fk, who knows.

Well a few years back, wasn't it just norm, to copy paste publish what ever they wanted. Like the pirates they are.?
I am not surprised, seems they need to engage a USA firm of Americans who know the difference, and can setup a good thing.

Boss: Can we have a picture of Google maps running on the Galaxy Player 5.0 please.
Marketing firm: Sure no probs, a quick google search later and 'shop out the Apple bar and nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Boss: Thanks
Fandroids (inc me): Doh!
