Bleepyeah they are, i agree there.. they cant get enough EVOs to supply the demand + the insurance claims through sprint stores, 3rd party retailers, and asurion.. Sprint NEEDS the EPIC to be...well... EPIC to relive stress AND tension from the EVO shortages..

Also, swype 1.56 prevents my phone from sleeping. I had to wipe my phone three times to determine this.. that was a pain.

To add to the topic. I have NEVER liked HTC's build quality.. period. They are the Chevy of smartphones IMHO. I had a Samsung i730. it was build like a tank. Still works to this day.

If HTC are the chevys of smartphones then samsung is what, ford or better yet a ford focus; apple must be what, buick. People say the craziest things.

The evo has an 8mp camera compared to 5mp of the epic and a biiger screen and its hotspot can connect to 8 devices compared to the epics 5. Beyond that it's a samsung. Im still trying to find someone who likes the instinct intinct hd or even someone who likes the moment over the mogul.

The epic 5mp camera has a better sensor then the 8mp in the Evo...so the pictures and video are better on the epic. Evo has only a 0.3 screen but that up to preference..we lived with smaller screens before and you can't exactly say a TP2 screen is small...as for hot spotting 8 devices or 5..does it really make that much of a difference? how many times have you hot-spotted say more then 3 devices?

Now as for HTC vs Samsung..guys are you serious? The ONLY reason we like HTC was because they were the ONLY ones giving us windows mobile devices..but overall they have screwed us over more times that I can count..in giving us 3-4 year old hardware, skimping on a few bucks and not pay qualcomm for hardware acceleration...taking out the 3.5mm ports(which luckily the carriers had them put back in)..the only thing that made HTC worth it was the community and we know it...

From what I see the Galaxy S series is the first "decent" device that Samsung gave us..and we should give them a chance..or are we like those Apple fanboys who are stuck up only on 1 company and no matter what they give us? Don't get me wrong I'm not insulting HTC..but you gotta realize HTC cant make 20 devices in a year...if we stick to hTC only our choices diminishes..the more manufacturers that can live up to our standard, the better off we are with making a choice...

Lastly..stop using the Instinct as an example..if you have to compare your HTC device to a dumb phone..then that just sad...

and this surprises you? look what they did to the hero in less than 10 months time. im actually leaning towards buying an epic just as long as i can remove touchwiz and we get some custom roms. i guarantee you the evo will be outdated by x-mas.

what i do not understand is why the epic will be $100 more than the evo was at launch?

Its 50$ more at launch..why would you say $100?

The epic is only $50 more than the evo. I guess some people feel the keyboard warrants the extra cost. Although the processor and screen are suppose to give it better battery life than the evo. Not to mention the 4g radio on epic is suppose to have a sleep mode that conserves battery life, something that the evo supposedly doesn't have. I guess we will see what the reviews show. Either way I would try to get tp2. They originally offered me the snap too. That's a slap in the face comparing the snap to tp2.

I would just like to find a 4.3inch AMOLED screen (like the epic screen) and put that on the evo, then my evo would be the best phone as of now lol

Nope it still won't be the best phone...it would be missing the hummingbird processor and the 3-4x more powerful gpu...and a 6 axis sensor..also the better camera sensor, bluetooth 3.0, audio quality >.>

I wish epic had a sister model with 4.3" without keyboard on sprint lol.
yea, I don't really care for the keyboard.

My take:
The Evo doesn't justify its proportions. It has a big screen, without having a higher resolution. It has worse battery life, without better performance, it is thick, but has no keyboard. It feels solid, but doesn't have gorilla glass. It's got a kickstand but can't play 720p mkvs. It has HDMI, but is capped at 30fps. I think the Epic is just a more balanced phone in general.

late,
Coz
