Epic VS EVO

Its Monday morning and I am a bit bored so since we are still within 30 days who is thinking about returning their EVO and waiting for the Epic?

Its already been rooted and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the source is already released also. HTC hasn't released EVO source yet and doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to do so.

I love everything about my EVO except the input lag and battery life. Every single video I have watched the Epic just flys through the menus like its suppose to. I be it can even do live wallpapers without adding even more input lag.

I know I may be the minority when it comes to input lag on the EVO but its there and its annoying. I know new devices come out all the time blah blah but this one is very close.

Unless something major changes I am pretty sure my EVO will be going back before July 3rd to wait for this.

I know most people will bash Samsung for lack of software support but this phone will be available for all carriers so that should help with community support.

Re: Epic VS EVO

Either read that the Evo's have been hacked and will have better input lag with the 30fps cap fix soon..

Or just return the damn phone already.

The hack breaks the camera and probably always will till HTC releases source. If they ever do. A full fix is probably going to be awhile.

Relax, like I said its Monday just sparking some conversation.

Re: Epic VS EVO

I was a huge fan of physical keyboards during my winmo days (apache, mogul, touch pro) and thought id really miss them when i jumped to the evo. But after these past 3 weeks, i cant imagine ever going back to a hard keyboard, especially on phones that are getting this big. It just adds to much size for my taste. Epic is looking like a great phone though.

Well it depends on what you do with your phone...for example this phone has things like DLNA, plays 1080p, super amoled screen, bluetooth 3.0, and it natively plays back things like xvid, divx and etc....and on board ROM....also has way better battery life..and more powerful GPU

Yeah it won't be easy but watching some videos of it in action and the way it flys through the menus etc is how I wish my EVO was.

It does come with a 16gig card but I wonder what class it is..My money is on class 2 but thats okay I have a class 6 16gig ready for it!!

Well as stated, even if it is a class 2 card ,it matters not since it has a HUGE amount of ROM...and ROM will be faster then the SD card...so SD card would mostly be for backup stuff and misc storage.

Re: Epic VS EVO

not enough stats are out, one can only compare when the phone is infront of them and can be given a play by play comparison, with features often let out such as build quality, the nifty features not labeled in press releases, etc.
