Here is why I am getting the epic.

- bigger screen
- reported better video / pictures
- full keyboard
- Hardware decoding for video built in
- button on camera. Tried a reverse picture on the evo non shift and it took me forever to hit the on screen button.
- better visibility in sunlight (do alot of mp3 streaming by the pool)

nice things but not part of decision

- brighter display in sunlight
- processor may be able to complete unique activities better
- navigation keys on keyboard

Wondering items
- does extra rom on shift make it faster, we know what ram means to our pc's
- could shift be a great battery life phone? I carry 3 batteries plus extended ones for my tp2 figure I will always need too.
- never seen the epic but will blue tint nag me
- was happy to see all the buying options for evo.... epic seems minimal.
- will 2/7 bring anything more than a dual screen phone that doubles as tablet
- what does bluetooth 3.0 bring to the epic? Would love to park the epic in the car and listen to bluetooth music inside the gym.
- hoping the benchmark tests that showed the shift slightly faster overall did not have the upload limiter fix on it and that a new up to date with the new os will reverse the findings.

Wish list
-tilting display like tp2. I used that all the time and very convenient.
- love the evo larger screen and ability to one hand text when needed pretty nicely. Hoping I dont regret just going back to 4.0. %age wise thats a big jump.

Leaving the evo non shift due to lack of keyboard. Tried the TP2 again today and I forgot how fast I can type on that keyboard. I will save hours / days / weeks off my life if the epic keyboard is anywhere near the feel of the tp2 one.

I hope the speaker is louder and has more bass than on the epic for a portable music player.

Where the heck is sprint motorola? They used to make some great quality phones.

going to rest up now for the steelers game!
