YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!!!
But seriously. How'd you like it?? The reviews i've been reading say that even though it's got the horsepower, it's still a bit laggy and unresponsive. not nearly as smooth as the ipad. your thoughts?

question for you: can you tell who distributes the updates? They boast it's stock honeycomb, but do updates come from google or motorola?
Answer A: where can I buy one.
Answer B: I'll wait.

Price: $539.00

They said that's basically a mock up store so I doubt that will be the price although that would be awesome.

Has any other motorola phone run vanilla ui and been updated by google? From my past experiences with them, motorola being a company with a big, snobby ego and them acting like control freaks, I would guess they want to pull all the strings, despite what the customer wants.

The original Droid had mostly stock Android but Google didn't handle the updates. As far as I know, the N1 and Nexus S are the only commercial phones to get official updates from Google. Motorola did do an incredibly good job at keeping the original Droid up to date though.

Any chance on rooting that bad boy or is it booby trapped like the other Motorolas.

I liked it and so far I'm liking honeycomb! Although I'm suprised you can do a lot on the phone without leaving the homescreen, like....it its pretty heavy but feels really sturdy I don't like the wake/ sleep button. (on the back) as far as stock honeycomb...i think its stock but then again I've never used any other h honeycomb device.

Tablet, sorry I called the xoom a phone, another thing is use the xoom and then go over to the ipad, lol the xoom is bigger. I like it but its too expensive even at that hardware, my evo is a tablet minutes honeycomb

Sorry I'm at the DMV so I can't just make one big post lol. But the ipad in my opinion is still more responsive and performs actions a bit smoother, honeycomb had hella eyecandy tho while ios is really playing and boring! Give the xoom an update or two and I could see it totally increasing its performance. Oh yeah and the menu/back buttons are built into the os and are tiny and smushed in the b bottom corner.

What is going to be your next phone?

I have had my Epic since launch and I'm running the Clean GB rom and it's great. I really like the phone and have no problems with it. But, I know this phon will not last forever. I have to have a slide out keyboard because I have big fingers and typing on touch screen doesn't work very well. Plus I run my business for my phone so I have to type alot.
I just went to sprints site and I see they didn't kill the epic like was reported before. But, I don't see any new flagship sliders. Anyone know of any new flagship sliders on the way in the next 6 to 8 months? I'm open to all brands or os. Thanks

I'd like to know if anyone has information as well. I don't plan on buying any other phone for awhile, unless a new high-end sprint slider comes out. Which won't probably happen soon, since they're keeping the epic on the line cause they have nothing new coming, where with the EVO they had like 2 news ones already lol.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I like the Samsung Note, looks cool. Even if it is the size of a small country.
I want LTE, that's really the only requirement I have for a new phone. Bigger screen would be nicer, and I'd like a platform that's easily rooted. When I bought my Epic and Moment, I didn't really pay attention to that but now I think it'll be what I look at first. No point in having an uber cool phone if I'm stuck stock.
But I lubs my epic....I won't be leaving it soon.

Im am also hoping for a Sprint version of the Note, or anything with a similar sized display. I know some dont like the screen size, but I would love it! I would probably be willing to go up to 6 inches for an Android phone and happily still fit it in my pocket.

Was a joke

honestly the lte galaxy has peeked my interest, I had figured I'd wait for SG3 but once I saw that announcement I was like ... hmmmmmm my one real dislike on my phone is the speed of the internet (or lack there of) so the LTE is a huge pull for me.
I really like having the keyboard but with the larger screen the virtual kb should be much easier to use and I already use swype more than the hardware keyboard anyway.

What announcement are you referring to? Is the SGS3 going to be a non LTE phone?

I have an upgrade in July(Got the epic the week it came out). I'm looking at the Nexus, but I feel like I should hold off for a little.

I don't know yet, I have grown to not depend on the KB as much as I use to, so maybe the Nexus.

Thinking about going for the Nexus as my next phone.. but then again I may just wait a bit to see what great LTE phones come out.

I'm also interested in the nexus because it is so open. Specs aren't that hot but unless your a gamer the gpu isn't a huge deal. Should get full cm9 and miui support pretty fast as opposed to waiting many months.
Sgs3 will likely be next gen hardware, but waiting for updates, and the seeming lack of organization and inability to fix issues (key skip, gps anyone?) Makes non nexus hardware a tough sell.
If a top tier phone focused on battery life (ala razor maxx) launched on sprint, that would also be very tempting. But would have to have an unencrypted boot loader.
Sent from my SPH-D700 running CM7

Given how Samsung has treated the Galaxy S line with updates, I'm not so forgiving. I think I am going with the galaxy nexus when it comes out. That way I can get instant updates.

Thinking about getting the galaxy nexus when it comes to sprint. However I am perfectly happy with my epic on virgin mobile for the time being.

Next phone - Something loved by CM devs and/or obligatory Nexus device.
.... But with CM9 coming to the Epic I'm thinking I might be okay to just run with this phone until it dies.

Anybody else feel like the OG Epic was under-appreciated?

It just occurs to me on such a regular basis, that when I pick my phone up, it's a perfect example of engineered quality. I wouldn't change anything about this phone. It's seriously perfect.
My only problem now is that I just get bored with things and probably am getting thirsty for a new, sleeker model. But seriously, does anybody feel like the SPH-D700 didn't get the glory it deserved?

I find the hardware to be quite good (although by the standards of today, I wouldn't mind a faster processor), but I find the software to be buggy and incomplete at best (EVEN EL30), which is sad considering how many chances that they had to make this a good device. Stuff like the GPS and other assorted issues makes me really shake my head in disappointment with Samsung.

Ive been saying that since I bought it.

Everywhere I go people still compliment and ask what phone is that. I don't know how much longer I will have this phone but I'm also not countig the days down unlike when I had my POS moment.
Just the fact that this phone was released q3 of 2010 and is not EOL yet despite the Epic touch release says a lot.

Considering it was supposed to be a Bada device, I think the devs had to get to the Android party late. I'd expect that translating the software to the hardware was the original issue but it seems to be more under control and may have lead to extended life for the device.

It was much faster than the evo. I loved my Epic. Perhaps the lack of froyo and gb is what made the Epic so much fun. Literally the only thing I would've changed is the responsiveness of the captivate buttons.

Still loving mine as well. It's my perfect companion on the road for navigation, e-mailing photos of damaged freight to the dispatch office, contacting consignees while keeping company phone (Nextel 2-way) open, and keeping me occupied during layovers.
The dev teams here have put out some awesome ROMs as well. I'll be loading up CleanGB EL30 BML tonight to give it a shot.

Broke my phone in 2 pieces - time for something new. Suggestions?

I have an available upgrade right now, what should I be looking at? I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy III. I broke my phone in two pieces so kind of in a time crunch to get something fast.
Thanks!

Well depends on your personal preference. Since you already have the OG EVO I would recommend the new EvoLTE. Great all around phone & a major upgrade from your deceased phone. The GSIII is also a great phone with almost identical specs & performance. Most of the disagreements comes down to personal preferences like Sense vs TouchWiz or LCD2 vs AMOLED. Both are excellent phones and you really can't go wrong with either.

YAAAA thats what I'm talking about... I mean ohh sorry bro. How the hell did that happen. I love how the back cover is just chilling there with no marks. I mainly work with HTC's I'm not sure how you get out the internal SD on the GNEX but it shouldn't be hard. Wish I could help you out more. Though I am currently bidding on a broken GNEX on ebay. So hopefully soon I will know all the hardware in and outs of it.
