I like the fact that the Epic has a keyboard, but it feels cheaply made and flimsy, whats the hangup with the EVO? I have my target on it. Seems like a solid device so far.

no evo hang up. i have one of thoes too. i literally just changed my pocket pc listed in my title three days ago! i gave it to my fiance when her tp2 went out. the epic is just (in my opinion) an equal device to the evo, i just need the hardware keyboard.

see, that's my problem right there. there are times when i need to type fast, and swype on the hd2 can be a hassle sometimes. i liked going to the tp2 with the great kb, but the ol lady has a moment and i'm not that impressed with samsung. my hd2 is a tank, that's why i'm leaning toward the evo....what to do lol.

Comparing a moment to a Epic is like comparing a Hero to an Evo..its completely different class...I'm not gonna say it has no issue but so far I'm fairly happy with it..Ive never had it lag out on me once with using stock...

I am using both a TP2 and an Epic and every time I go to my TP2 it just feels sluggish and annoying...and weird thing is..I've never once felt my TP2 was sluggish..to me it was fine...but after using the Epic..its hard to go back once you experience it :/

Yeah thats my only real hang up about the EVO the lack of a keyboard, but it is so big. I am gonna give it a try. The TP2 keyboard, its da best. I can type on it w/o looking.

You should give it a shot, I got a Evo about a week ago. Going a physical keyboard to a on screen keyboard does take some getting used to but its not that big of a deal because the size of this beast! I can't really speak for the Epic because I don't own one. I'm sure its a great device I did try one out at a sprint store, only thing I wasn't really feeling was the UI and the keyboard does feel a little cheap. But nonetheless still a great device. But in my experience going from a TP2 to a EVO is a night and day difference. No lags, you can open apps and don't have to worry about running out of mem, data speeds are ridiculous compared to the TP2 even on 3g. You should definately dump the TP2 or keep it as a backup device in favor of one of these newer ones if you are looking for a better overall experience.

Thats the plan stan! Thanks for the input. I will be fat-pawing my EVO in about two weeks time.

I am definitely planning to keep the TP2 for backup. Perhaps I will find a real NOOB friendly ROM for the wife who is infinitely scared of touch screen phones in general. I am thinking of getting her into a Transform or something that might get her away from the Curve.

Put android on the TP2 and let the wife play around with it so she can see what its like. I got the Transform for my wife and she loves it. She was coming from an Instinct, which she absolutely hated for alot of reasons but the lack of a keyboard was a big one. The only reason I hesitated on the Transform was the price for the hardware you were getting. But since sprint gave me a $70 credit to renew the contract anyway, I went with it.

For the OP, you really have to go with what is going to be best for you, which you won't know until you actually start using the different phones. I have zero desire for WP7. I don't like the whole tile layout and don't use facebook, twitter, etc so that social integration does nothing for me. Its new and will take some time to work out the kinks. I tried android a few times, liked it and went that route.

That's some great advice... WP7 isn't for everyone and neither is iOS and neither is Android... Whichi is why I'm so glad we have all these choices.
