IF you play games you will notice it even more..such as Dungeon Defender...there are gonna be a bunch of games comming out this year such as this game that monetizes the GPU and hardware acceleration..."on paper" the GPU in the Epic is on par with the dual core phones. Quote:

Please note that I added a few things to the wants list. Was too sleepy when I wrote this post. Additions include: What's likely to include Netflix support, and Free Wifi Hotspot, I'll pay for the app if I must, not the service though. The reason I say the Epic is more buggier then the Evo is that it seems that Samsung just can't drop a reliable update. I mean look how long it took for them to drop Froyo officially, only to be pulled right after, I actually stopped following the Epic development after that eff up. I guess the better question is did Froyo finally drop officially? How bad is it, can you point me to a bug list anywhere? While I don't mind flashing my phone, I already have a full time job, I don't need two of them. I just don't feel like making this a daily/weekly adventure, every few months is fine, but once I move into a phone, I really hate starting over, and over again. Recent rumor mill suggests that the Evo 3d isn't dropping in June, it could be July/August. That's why I figured just buy 2 phones now out of pocket and use the upgrades later--if I even decide to stay with Sprint I'm still only in my 7th year, no gold for me. I pay about $160 month for two phones, I'm not getting any great deals that I couldn't get from Verizon, if I decided to jump ship for a better released phone or service (although the latter one isn't likely). Verizon is still unlimited right--for now? If Sprint and Verizon would only release a playbook for all phone between now and the end of the year, this would all be a piece of cake, but unfortunately, "the cake is a lie". |

Re: Evo or Epic
its a mixed bag..so far netflix has declared that onyl certain type of CPUs can use it..so idk..Epic comes pre-built with DRM which is compatible with M$ DRM but I don't know if its enough for Netflix...
Best option for now is this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/17/p...-hulu-for-all/ Quote:

1) keyboard misses keys for fast typer (fixed by community) 2) GPS works fine for most now..but some have long lock times...(fixed via app similar to QuickGPS and/or fixed by community) 3) TWS bug (fixed by community) 4) Default browser checker-boarding (fixed by community) 5) May have lag when tilting the phone (fixed by recalibrating sensor) 6) improper sound driver (it still works better then most other phones but its not using its max potential as Epic has one of the best audio chipsets...either way fixed by community) Thats the major ones..and there are fixes for them..and neither of them is anything major...like freezes or etc...

Re: Evo or Epic
I've played with the phone a few times before so I get the gist of the interface, what file system are you using? Last time I was looking around the EXT4 debate was going on, who won that argument?
Do you know off the top of your head what SDHC card came with the phone? I know that a 16GB was offered but I was wondering what class and brand they were since usually getting a refurb doesn't have one with it, and I'll be off to eBay or Newegg for a purchase... So what are YOU actually running on your phone right now, or better yet what do you recommend? I definitely need a wifi hotspot so I assume rooting the phone is a requirement but what is the apk needed to do this or is there instructions somewhere? Again TIA... |

How do you manage servers with the keyboard, most of the time, I'm doing things with Active Directory Users and Computers to unlock accounts or Sites and Services to force replications between sites, using the GUI? Is there a better way that I'm overlooking? I'm always down for exchanging ideas and such... |
