I went from the TP2 to the Epic and since I had the Epic on loan from my corporate Sprint rep for 60 days I was able to carry the phones side by side. Being able to do this I was able to determine how bad the performance on the TP2 really was. It was nice to be able to do something without having to wait and wait and wait before the phone would respond. I know a lot of this has to do with different hardware specs but it also has to do with Android VS WinMo 6.5. I did really like the keyboard on the TP2 more than the one on the Epic at first but I think part of that was because I had been so used to the TP2 because the on screen keyboard sucked so bad. Now that I have gotten good with Swype the only time I seem to use the physical keyboard is when I'm using SSH or something else that is related to remote system access. I don't think you will regret getting the Epic. I'm also amazed at some of the posts I have read on the Internet about the Epic and how terrible it is. I saw one post that said he was afraid to give it to his parents to use as a phone because it was so unreliable. These kind of comments are flat out crap. If someone is having that much problem with the Epic they either have a defective phone or they've managed to screw it up rooting it and/or have installed some piece of crap software. I do however have a couple of gripes about the Epic so it's not quite the "perfect girlfriend" but it comes close. Battery life, which is pretty much a given with any smart phone, and the GPS issue and it sometimes taking a long time to get a lock.
