i really like that you called it the evoshift. not only does it help to reflect poorly on the entire evo line of phones, but as we all know,, the shift is already an htc device. the dual boot windows vista / windows mobile powerhouse.

Hardly. it's an embarrassment to Evo owners to have this crappy phone have our beloved 'Evo' name attached to it. But heck, all things being equal, the Epic is still lower on the totem pole than the Shift.

How does this phone suck? The only differences between this phone and the evo aren't that big of a deal for those people who buy it. Who cares if it doesn't have front facing camera or smaller screen. I've never used my front facing camera and most people don't mind the screen size. Just ask all the people who own an iphone. Also like most of us know already the processor is more advanced than the evo processor. So keep dissing the phone that sprint said is NOT a replacement to the evo just an addon to the android lineup. All I know is that most people who have purchased this phone really like it.

Epic's 4" SAMOLED, Hummingbird, and FFC outweight the Evo Shift's software support?

Does the Epic 4g's 4" SAMOLED, Hummingbird, and Front Facing Camera outweight the Evo Shift's potentially better software support from HTC and the DEV community ?????

I gotta give my company an answer by Monday.

Thanks.

I believe the the epic is a better phone and it is only $50.00 more. Plus the front facing camera is better for video calls and skype. I purchased the epic because I believe this. But my opinion is bias because I purchased the epic. I was considering the shift but I decided on the epic because I believed it had more potential.

I think the only reason I would get a shift to try somthing different. I had the epic took it back bc I was tired of waiting for froyo and no foreal root or roms at time of buying so took back for evo but somtimes I wish I kept it but at the same time fell in love with evo. So idk shift might be alright but at the same time I like my goodies like higher pixels on camera a front mount one and kick stand bigger screen. I just don't know if I can go smaller and not have a front mount camera and only a 5 megapixel so yeah I think its more for the less tech savvy people like girlfriends and wives lol and people that don't root and flash. I am curious tho

I know Epic owners are biases because they already own a great phone.
That's what I wanted a thread in here.
Thanks for posting.


I gotta tell ya, the only thing that has me struggling with this decision is the lack of support from Samsung and the knowledge that we will be stuck with these phones long term.

If the current support for the Epic was available at the time, would you still have returned the Epic?

It's the lack of support from Samsung that is the only thing that has me struggling with this decision.

The "announcement events" on 2/2/11 from Sprint with David Blane and the from Samsung on 2/13/11 also has me hesitant to pull the trigger.
But, I KNOW we REQUIRE a QWERTY keyboard.

All the dual cores I saw at CES were touchscreen only, and has me worried there will be no game changing QWERTY phones in the near future, or at all.

There may be hope for you non rooted Epic owners. Even though I'm not sure why you wouldn't just use this [Stock Flash][Odin]Dk28 Extended 12/05/2010 inc. Root,GPS hack,Clockwork+Redir. - xda-developers

Samsung Acclaim gets Froyo

Samsung actually released a Froyo update on a U.S. carrier. Maybe the Galaxy S Line will follow??

Just a year. Most sprint plans qualify the user for a new phone every year.
