2. The keyboard is not as good as the tp2's the keys are flat as opposed to domed on the tp2.
3.epic probably has better battery life than the tp2 running android. However tp2 running windows mobile has so much more battery it is not even close. I guess Ill have a better judgment after the seidio extended (same shape) battery comes out but my tp2 can make it 2 days with moderate use, while the epic will need a charge every night for sure with moderate use.
4. 150 kb/s upload speed capped on 3g, hopefully it is fixed. also A huge con is that I dont get one back until friday oct 1st. I had one for a week and a half when it first came out.
5/7. I have had my tp2 for 1 year and with minimal work I could sell it as gently worn. It is an incredibly durable phone. The epic I guess more time will tell from the 10 days I had it I would say it was extremely sturdy. The slider felt pretty tough ( a little wobble is to be expected) and I think for the 1st 30 days I am going to go screen protector-less and just try out the gorilla glass ( I am pretty careful anyway)
8. Clockwork recovery works on it (I am told this is a good thing) and I have seen a few kernels, some oc'ed. Also some roms have popped up.
9. HOLY CRAP that is why you buy this phone. It plays mkvs out of the box it is powerful enough to just slap on any hd file you have laying around and wow it looks good. It struggles with softsubs but there are probably apps to fix that.
10. I have always gotten a pretty quick locks with gps on the epic. I do usually perform a restart or soft reset every couple of days so that may fix any problems because I think the main problem is getting locks after long periods of the phone being on.
I do miss winmo but it is worth the sacrifice to get the hardware power of the epic.
