Newer Epic or Evo Shift what problems with each?

[JohnMcD348]

OK, I'm reading the Epic Evo Shift thread right now trying to figure out which one is for me. I will grant the Shift hasn't been out long enough to really show any issues yet hardware or software related. I would still like to know of any known problems with each phone.

I'm am probably going to be picking up one of these this week to replace my TP2 that stopped working. I'm not interested in Rooting and burning new roms and such. I need a stable phone that lasts more than 1 year if taken care of. I will load and unload tons of software on it as I go. I've had a PDA or Smartphone for the past 11 years and I rely on them for work from time to time.

I'm interested in New pones, not necessarily the models that came out last year or before. I read in a few posts that the Epic got an update recently so that's what I would like the information based on since that's what I'll end up with if I go with this phone.

I appreciate and value the input you all provide me since I don't really keep up with the latest and greatest until I need them.
