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 :/
