I'm sure you will be happy with the Epic for a long time.
Hmm..running solid out of the box is a plus. Outside of rooting it and removing some of the bloatware, I don't usually run custom ROM's or anything.

I've been reading up on the GPS issue over at xda-developers. The initial lock is pretty fast but the phone seems to keep that data and it eventually expires and leads to flaky signals later on. The only way to fix it is to reboot the phone which doesn't seem like a big deal but can be a pain in the butt. Here is the link for anyone interested in reading:

GPS issues still persist in Epic 4G - xda-developers

I think the cap is only for 3G. People on 4G didn't see the 150 upload cap. Sprint says there is a fix coming:
