Is touchwiz 3 nice? Whats the dif?
I guess really what I need to know is if its now going to be better than the EVO.
Or should I just wait for the Echo duel core (which doesn't exist but in my dreams)?

i was also waiting for the 2.2 update to upgrade to the epic but it just took so long. if it came out in december, i'd probably would have gotten the epic. but now its over 6 months since the phone came out and newer/better phones have been announced by the manufacturers that now, imo, doesn't make sense to get the epic or the evo. especially since sprint has decided to change the terms of their premier perks upgrade program.
i asked myself, do i want to be stuck with the epic (not really a negative since the epic is a great phone) for 2 years or wait a few more months and get a uber dual core phone, that won't have me envying another phone for a while. yes i realize there are always better phones coming out ever 6 months.

look into the best buy-buy back program. sell the phone back to best buy within 6 months to get 50% or 6-12 months to get 40% of the retail price of the phone back. epic 4g retails for $650, which means either $325 or $260 to buy a new phone. decisions...
