Thinking about moving on...

i was a samsung hater and i even posted my views about it in my wp7 thread but after talking with gten he made me give them a chance and that was for original epic and i loved that phone and still do but i sold mine but friday im getting another for 50$ but new touch is just amazing and is even better than "old" epic and as far as shift goes reception was great and i liked seeing sense again since its been awhile (tp2) since i used it but phone is way too small and not much development going on imo. i guess for a daily driver its fine but i like to tweak my devices and it just wasnt there for me.

Ya, I know for a fact that my area wont have great reception because there are 2 3g towers down and I only have open space reception for 4g

I love sence, and your right, the looks I have given into the shift threads are dead..
There isnt much of anything going on

Good news is tho, Sharkie Is working on trying to make an EVO rom.
From what I see the EVO and the EVO shift are very similar as far as files and such

Now Im not saying that if he finishes his evo rom that id try it on my shift (assuming i get it) cause I know it wont work, but maybe he could let me in on what to do to make my own rom

But i can GAURENTEE that if I get a shift, I WILL be developing for it lol
Ive not seen any dusk style taskbars or keyboards
I actually supplied a guy with images and he was working on a taskbar.
I dont know how far he got but he told me that he would let me know as soon as he finishes it.

If he doesnt I'll just make my own
I just know that the little bit I have looking into android development (cause of my brothers android) gave me rediculus headaches.

Idk..
I'll look into the samsung again.. But ive never really liked them
thanks for your insight

Well any good phone will eventually die.
But the shift is conciderably newer then the tp2

the tp2 was released in 09, as far as I remeber the shift in like a year old now right?

Even if its gana die it shouldnt be within the next year Id assume

But Im not 100 percent about the phone yet. It was just the first thing to relly catch my interest, I just needed more information about it

I mean, the evo 3d just came out..

and if you look at history...
it was
EVO
then EVO Shift (pretty much a EVO with a keyboard)

Now its an EVO 3d
so im thinking.... maybe an EVO 3d shift.....?
Idk. that be nice. I dont care about 3d capabilities but I dont wana go buy the shift and see a 3d shift the next day


As far as the Iphony goes.. I have a buddy who is an iOS guru. He knows the ins and outs and can pretty much do whatever he wants with it.
He was one of the first guys to jailbrake 4.2
Hes made alot of themes and skins and apps for the iphone
hes just not an artist so he had me do all the graphics lol

So I know I could get a great head start there IF i decide to go with that

what is the latest samsung droid with a physical keyboard?
is it the epic touch?
