Dear devs and well, everyone - Epic 4G General

Thank you to all of the developers who have turned this phone into so many different things over the course of its existence.
Thank you for late nights flashing the newest leaks and early mornings restoring back to stock because I had to go to work.
Thank you for 2 years of fond memories and thank you for your continued efforts. I appreciate everything everyone has done for me and for the Epic 4g community.
I'll see you all in greener pastures. <3
-James

But that's after the 99 dollars for replacement, right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

yes, but the thing is, my epic was dead either way, and i need another phone. why pay a 100 dollar deductible on a 2 year old epic valued at around 70 dollars, when i can pay the same deductible and get the not even 1 year old evo 3d, witch if i decided to sell it today, would bring me 200 dollars or better.
the deductible was going to be paid either way.

Austin make sure to stop in here and post when you see those great specials. My 32GB card just came today.

How Do You Afford so Many New Phones?

I've noticed a number of users on here that have seemed yo own many new smartphones in what seems like a short period of time. For example not singling out anyone specifically but some of you guys seem like you've had a G2, Droid X, Droid Incredible and finally an Evo. Okay maybe not every one of those but you get the idea.
So how do you afford to switch so frequently? I certainly don't make enough to switch/upgrade that often.

I did this also; kept trading things for money to get other things or trading one for another. Loved my rant but I wanted the EVO. Sold my iPod touch to get the funds. Now I can afford most things though.

I'm selling my epic now cause the old lady needed a captivate on att so now I got epic captivate and nexus and a empty bank but this is going to be the hardest sale for me if it goes. For a mp3 player and hd camera/camcorder it will cost more to replace thoseand in those areas the nexus can't compare.

Epic 4G broke, I have 2 options, need help!

Hey guys, my epic 4g broke recently (hardware issue) and Sprint has offered me 2 options. First, I can wait for the Epic to ship to the nearby store, which will take until Wednesday next week. Second, I can pick up an EVO 3D from them tomorrow morning.
I really like having a keyboard like on the 4g, and I really do like the OLED screen, but the EVO has a decent LCD screen with a nice resolution (960x540) and has a dual core processor. (3D too, I guess, but my guess is I'll only play around with the 3D features)
What would you guys do if you were in my situation?

Get the EVO 3D, sell it, then you can buy another Epic 4G for about $150 and pocket the remainder for when your are upgrade eligible and use the money towards your next upgrade.
id take the epic again unless they let you pick a nexus. I went in after my 4th broken epic and they didnt so much as give me a chance to try and get a different handset, but im betting if they let you take an Evo 3d over an Epic they will let you take a nexus S.

No clue why anyone would buy the Epic touch, After what happened with this phone and its update/software issues, even if the epic touch is fast in hardware, i guarentee in 6 months when you are supposed to get your ICS update you will be regretting your purchase. Screw samsung. Only go with nexus.

EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.
Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
