Any regrets?

hey...... I have been thinking about getting the Evo and have done a ton of research on the phone and specs inside. I can really close in purchasing the Evo last week but chicked out for a reason. Has anyone seen the upcomming Samsung Galaxy? On Sprint it will be called "Epic". But my main reason I backed away from the Evo was the fact that the Epic will be released this summer. And it packs 3 times more power than the snapdargon inside the Evo. And specially the fact that its not a HTC phone. Htc in my opinion build poor quality phones. So what does everyone think about the Epic?

I don't know much about the Epic. I'm sure its a good device and will have a following, but it will be much smaller. Mark my words, the epic forum will be a third of the size of this one, maybe smaller. Having said that, the Evo is a great device and I have absolutely no regrets. I don't agree that HTC make poor devices either. Ive had 5 of them in the last several years and they held up quite nicely. One more thing, if the Epic is that much better than the Evo, why do you think Sprint has made the Evo its flagship? Why would they do that and turn around a put out another device that's much better shortly thereafter? That would be highly stupid.

My only regret is that I didn't switch to android earlier. As for the evo vs epic its all about preference. There are a lot of people out there that would love to have an evo but can't do without a keyboard and the epic would fill that need for sure.

the galaxy (epic) is being released in over 100 countries, not to mention 6 us carriers. i think it will have a huge following, there are other phone forums beside ppcgeeks you know. im sure the support/dev will be equal to that evo. the epic does beat out the evo in a couple of areas mainly cpu/gpu but on most fronts theyre pretty equal. sprint should put the same push behind it as they did the evo imo. nothing wrong with 2 flagships!

good points redd214. I am aware that its being released elsewhere and that there are other forums. lol. I guess we will see how it is supported. I would like it to do well for Sprint's sake. Frankly if the incredible was available on Sprint, I would have strongly considered it as well for the form factor.

I just love how people constantly are searching to either validate their purchase or worry about whether something is better coming out. Just be happy with what you got peeps. More often than not, if you get the Epic/Evo you will dislike something and complain about it so whats the difference. In the end, the Evo will be a dinosaur in a year as will the Epic. That's why we are all the knuckleheads that we are dropping tons of cash on the next great device

I'm waiting* for the Epic, the super amoled screen & the A8 processor will most likely give the device better battery life then the Evo. also, in all the hands-on videos of the Epic, the scrolling looked super smooth and the display looked amazing, especially the black levels. that doesn't mean it's a better phone than the evo though, both are great. if you want the option of using a keyboard, get the epic. no keyboard = evo. wait till the epic comes out and play around with it. buy the one you like the best.

*i have to wait till January to upgrade, that's the only reason i don't have an evo right now. now i must resist impulse buying the epic when it comes out this month.... sigh.

Great responses! I was expecting the evo trolls to come out and say "Evos the best!go to hell!". Yes, the galaxy will be released to almost all the big US carriers and I do expect a big following. In paper.... the Galaxy smokes the Evo. But like one of you said " in a year both the Evo and Epic will be dinosaurs. hehe

Bye bye WM, it was fun.
