would love to have this on Nexus
looks cool.
EDIT
Speaking of games Ill ask here instead of making a thread...on the Desire Video Promo it shows a cool looking bowling game is this real? is it on the beta ROM?

That maps game looks cool but in that video it lets cars go off the road, how does it know what objects you can drive through and what you can't? I would have thought it would just put invisible walls on the roads to avoid the problem
that is one ****ing bad ass bowling game..... I hope its real...I want it
This video was posted up on engadget, I however felt this song was a better fitting haha I hope you guys get a kick out of it.

Hey I am going to trade in my evo for an epic 4g. My evo has a crack and I do not really feel like fixing it or trading it in for another Evo, I like trying out new things when I am done with my old one.
My two questions about the Epic:
1. I take my video watching pretty seriously. I take the subway everyday and I spend that time reading rss feeds, reading comics/manga, and watching tv/movies/anime. Lately it seems no matter how hard a try, my evo doesn't like showing movies any more. Any video player I use just lags. I have tried avi and mp4. Especially when playing 720p video it justs lags, didn't do that before. How are people's experiences with video playback? Also the MAIN reason I am choosing the Epic over other Sprint devices is that I heard the Samsung Galaxy phones support mkv natively. Any anime geek would tell you that a large portion of anime being released is in mkv format. It would save me a lot of time if I could transfer them without transcoding. So does the Epic natively support mkv? How does it fare against 720p mkv playback?
2. I just watched a Youtube vid comparison of the Nexus S and the Epic from Phonearena. The video was made in December 2010 and at the time the Epic was still on 2.1. My Evo is on 2.2...I would hate to downgrade. Is there an official OTA for the Epic to go to 2.2...or even 2.3?
Any other comments on the phone?

Yeah there's an official 2.2 update (it's EC05) - 2.3 (latest is EE03) has been leaked from Sprint, and we're hoping that soon we'll get an official 2.3
I really love the phone, and am super happy I got it. My bro has the evo and (call me old school but) I'm happy I have the option to use a physical keyboard. I hardly ever use the touch keyboard - I find it too finicky.
1. The video playback is superb! The epic has better hardware so you won't experience any lag. Also the epic screen is beautiful. Much more color, and brightness. Your anime won't look like washed colors..
2. There is a leaked 2.3 out (June 20th official?). It's a hit or a miss. But there are 2.2 roms that are ridiculously fast, stable, and battery efficient. Check out the development section.

Supposedly GB is going to enable GPU acceleration for our processors. I imagine that if there were ever any lag present while watching videos that it would remedy the issue. After rooting and adding a few tweaks the Epic does live up to its name. Out of the box I didn't find it to be anything special however. As a testament to the hardware our phones are actually able to run games that are specially tailored to the dual core Tegra phones.
When you get your phone turn off auto brightness and you can slide your finger along the status bar to manually control it which is a really nice feature. Saves a ton of battery as well.

Yes. The epic supports mkv natively. 720p mkv playback has worked nearly perfectly for any video I have tried.
My roomate had the evo. And I'm telling you the epic is much faster, and the screen is soooo much better the evo doesn't even compare. The picture is amasing better then the evo and all the droid phons

I watch a lot of fansubs and whatnot on my Epic. Yes, it does natively support MKVs. If your looking to watch them subbed, though, the default Samsung player will not playback softsubs. But thats easily remedied by other apps you can get from the market. Personally, I use an app called mVideoPlayer. It works awesomely.
I am starting to branch out with a friend of mine who has an Evo and studying some on ROM development and app development and since we do a lot of things side by side, I can confirm my Wifi Tether is twice as fast as his on his Evo. Anyone who wants something tested side by side against an Evo can PM me and I can probably make that happen

I never thought I'd say this, but I love watching video on a cell phone, thanks to the Epic. The screen and internal chips are awesome. HBO go, avi files, YouTube and flash (and Netflix some day officially I hope)--they all work great. This is a cinephile's phone, no doubt.

I'm going to have to agree. I enjoy watching videos of all kinds on my Epic. From MLB to Media Hub and now Netflix. I find myself willing on paying for content thanks to the Epic. I'm guessing its only going to get better when the galaxy s2 comes out.
Wow thanks for all of the feedback guys. I am so amped to get this new phone.
Lately everything has been sucking and I am trying remedy the problems. I am planning on upgrading my cf5770's to a gtx 580 as well. SO having that and the Epic would make me feel so much better.
I have not been able to watch ANYTHING on my Evo for the past few months. Also I cracked the screen but that was after the video lag stuff.
Thanks guys!
So I wondered what stuff you ppl have that make your friends get impressed. I just started thinking about it. And I got nothin D:
PC36100
solving my friends sudokus with google googgles is always amusing to me....maybe not them lol

I think it is user made by "Iris and Peter" (seemingly not official by Samsung, but who knows), it is still fun to watch, and it even has music by the Chemical Brothers (song name is "Container Park"). Although some of it is kinda hokey, like the cop on his Facebook, for example, among other things, it's not bad.
I love creativity and originality. They're things missing from television, movies & music today.
Really good
This is just awesome! I love this nicely made video really original, Samsung needs to hire them!
You can't run that fast carrying a Note!
But a very nice vid.
I thought this short illustrated the finer points of the Note very well. But being a creepy guy is a no no.
sweet
Wow i can do that O_O
That would be a really good advert for the note.
Nice video really this is creativity
Cool video.
