Re: So what do you guys think so far?

After playing with it in the store, I stuck with the Evo. The Amoled screen is beautiful, though it seems rather cartoonish. Comparing gaming between the Epic and the Evo, well, to the average joe, seems almost the same. True, the amoled screen makes it look a tad better, but does it blow the Evo away? Can't say that it does.
Your missing the point...it is better for gaming due to the GPU, not screen...a lot of the games would play fine on both...but there are a lot of games that are slower and less refined playing on the evo. There are some graphic intensive games that EVO can't keep up with.

I came fromt he TP2, though with Windows many faults, the hardware itself seemed pretty sturdy. The Epic seems like a cheap knockoff. Seems poorly made, real flimsy. Basically, the Evo seems sturdy and trendy, while the Epic does not.

If you are looking for a beautiful (almost cartoonish) screen and a keyboard, get the Epic. If you want a beautiful, rather rugged, thin handset, Evo.
This here is pure ignorance...The build quality of the Epic is a lot better then the EVO...you get the "cheap" feeling because the device is light..but that doesn't mean a thing..the device is light because of 2 reasons.

1) Super AMOLED is thinner then LCD
2) Everything inside the Epic is fully compact, even the battery is half the size with same 1500 mah..there is no extra useless loose plastic inside like the EVO has either...Also the glass on the Epic is made of Gorilla Glass which is A LOT sturdier...

Aka you will break an EVO 2x before you'd even think about breaking an Epic...

Also EVO is in no way thin...if you compare it to a keyboard-less galaxy S its fairly thick...

As far as the specs, does a fraction of a second really matter?
Yes...fractions of a second is what computers are made of..if you have a code of 100,000 lines and each line is a fraction of a second faster..it adds up..the Hummingbird processor has more to it then you think..for example it has a specification for playing back and recording at 1080p.
