There is no bases for this..but so far the Epic has better build quality then the EVO..so I kinda doubt it

shift has 800mhz overclockable to 1.5-1.7 ghz.
And Epic has a 1ghz cpu thats also overclockable to those numbers

Quote:
shift has cool dpad on the keyboard
which can also be a hassle..either way only use I see this is for gaming but I'd rather use a gamegripper then have one built in..

Quote:
shift should have a better development community
better in what way? while it is true HTC phones generally get more development, Samsung phones have gone a long way..not to mention shift community will still take time to build out where as epic already has one..

Quote:
shift should receive updates faster
What updates? by the sound of things there phones will stop official updates at Gingerbread as Honeycomb is aimed at dual cores/tablets...considering they will both get Gingerbread around same time and thats that..

Quote:
shift has sense maybe even NEW sense
ok..

Quote:
shift is much cheaper
Depends where you buy it..since shift is new it will prob be around its retail value..Epic you could get on a 3rd party site for $100..

Quote:
--vs--
epic has 4" screen
epic has super amoled screen
epic looks nicer without the damn chrome
Whats wrong with the chrome? its fine the way it is...and thats not a positive...

but I will add..to your list:

Epic has a 2x better GPU
Epic will most likely has a better camera (since HTC has yet to do 1 camera right)
Epic supports mkv, divx and xvid playback out of box
Epic already has a community and most issues are already known
Epic is almost unbrickable with the help of odin

I'm sure I am missing a few but its a good start..
