Although I like busting balls and a good laugh as much as anyone else.....


I was hoping to have some technical arguments made here, with factual support, so I can make an educated decision before Sunday.

Thanks.

Usually VS threads tend to go biased one way or the next..but overall though..maybe you want to add what exactly you use your phone for and what you expect from a phone? based on that we may be able to assist you better.

Exactly. It all depends on what you do with the phone. I love my evo cause it works for me but I have thought about switching to the epic. Looking at the specs of the shift I think I would choose the epic. Especially since it still doesn't have 2.2 which will make it even better.

please do some research before you talk.

That's ok. I'll continue posting on all forums. I've owned other phones and still own other phones other than the evo so i'll be ok posting in different sections. Thanks anyway though.

I liked this thread for the first 3 posts. People need to simmer down! That being said, I currently have a hero and want to upgrade. 1 issue I have with my hero is I can only play some videos. Should I expect the same from these phones? Is 1 better than the other or is it a matter of downloading something? I'm not interested in changing the phones programming. Thanks in advance for any factual help.

im not sure about the evoshift, but the epic has supported every type of video ive thrown at tit so far which include avi, wav, mp4, mkv, h264, divx and others. the only problem ive had is it wont play anything better than stereo audio. if your video has 2 channel audio(stereo), it plays fine. if it is 6 channel (5.1) your ****ed.
i like that it even plays lossless audio files like .flac directly out of the box.

[yankees45us]

The evo plays all those video formats or at least that's what the specs say. But I know that the epic definitely plays all those. My friends epic has played every file we put on it so far. I myself would prefer the epic over shift on specs alone. I guess we'll see when it becomes available.

I wouldn't say that but thanks for the extra info on the processors.
