Re: Any regrets?

I have been with a hardware qwerty from the ppc 6600 and never thought I would go to a touch screen keyboard. For a month running up to getting my evo I started playing with the TP2 onscreen keyboard it was a little rought, but I got used to it. Then when I got my evo I was amazed how easy it was to type on. The predictive/corrective is amazing. I actualy feel I can type as fast if not slightly faster than on my tp2. and I was able to type full speed w/o looking at the keyboard on my tp2. I actually find slide out keyboards to be ugly and take away from the sleek look of the phone. I'm with htc evo untill it craps out and I get upgraded to another phone.

Oh and I'd like to give a shout-out to htc for making shabby phones that eventually die and sprint protection plan for replacing them. I bought the 6600 and was upgraded through 6700, 6800, tp, tp2. I sold my TP2 for $230 and bought my evo. So I still haven't had any out of pocket cost for a my phones since the ppc 6600. Well I guess the only out of pocket cost was the monthly protection plan cost.

No regrets. For jumping into Android, I think this is the perfect place to start.

Re: Any regrets?

well there are pros and cons with both phones. with the evo, you have the higher megapixel camera, and im not sure if video chatting is supported on the epic?

the epic will be a bit bulkier than the evo (because of the slide out keyboard)

THE ONE THING THAT MAKES BOTH OF THESE PHONE WINNERS NO MATTER WHAT YOU GET IS...........drum roll please...........

ANDRIOD!

Re: Any regrets?

This guy had no intention on buying the evo. He just wanted to talk smack and was hoping evo users would respond differently. You guys have a short memory if u don't remember his iphone vs evo threads. Troll.

I agree completely......it's easy to tell when people are being disingenuous.

Re: Any regrets?

Well, honestly I'm in the tossup between the EPIC and EVO. Love the Evo, keep playing with it, but I use the keyboard on my TP2 ALL the time. I really mean all the time. When it's on, the keyboard is almost ALWAYS out. That's the only reason I've not jumped to the EVO yet.

About the post that XDA only supports HTC, pretty much true, but the samsung folks have their own similar forum called SDX developers.

I've been reading everything on both phones, well the Galaxy S series and hearing about they issues they are exhibiting.

Evo common issues: 30FPS without hack, weak WIFI, non standard (as usual from HTC) bluetooth stack, cracking plastic, screen separations, light leaks.

Samsung Galaxy S issues: Some odd lag exhibiting with some apps, GPS signal issues, plastic reportedly feels weak/flexes too much.

Samsung has a horrible past track record of supporting their phones, but since this is being released world wide and they want to take over large market share, hopefully this might change?!? They've already released an update for certain areas for the Galaxy S...

To me, I think it's all going to come down to the keyboard for me. I've had soft keyboards in the past on quite a few devices and not sure I could go back...

Either way, my next phone WILL be an android phone.

From what I read the Galaxy S in the USA are a bit sturdier then the international ones according to the reviews...but this is for the Captive and Vibrant..we will see how the epic 4g comes out...

As for the lag, some are saying new firmware updates fixed most of it if not all...

Now for GPS...Ive heard some lock issues with using Google Maps but 3rd party navigation tools seem to lock ok...so my guess it is a software issue :/
