Epic- need advice

[00_MACKIE_00]

I think I am going to jump on this bandwagon. However, I am in need of a 3rd line anyways so what is the easiest way for me to do this? I do not have any upgrades, Sprint took our upgrades to replace crapt phones.

If you make a new line you get the credit anyways..so when ordering the device just make a new line...who are you planning on buying the device through?

lol wherever I can get it fastest.

However, after reading issues about the Galaxy issues with GPS not working correcty has me concerned. Samsung still hasn't fixed it. Just like they never fixed the wifi/cdma lockups on the Moment. I can reproduce the issue on both our Moments and Sprint denies its an issue because they know it wont be fixed .

Well Samsung said its an issue..but based on what I heard its a software issue...Ive seen this article which used multiple GPS software and some software like google maps and others took forever..but others locked in instantly on the same device...my guess is that there may be a driver compatibility issue that is preventing it to lock in certain situations.

But in the end there is always the 30 days :/

Yeah true. The Evo seems impossible to get ahold of one...So may have to settle for the Epic.

Looking back..you may be glad you didn't settle for an Evo (pun intended)

Have you tried using a Vibrant or a Captivate at a store yet?

I have read dozens of articles and hundreds of forum posts over the past few weeks about the Samsung Epic. This is the first time I have seen anyone use the words "settle for the Epic".

I can't wait. I preordered 2 today. I guess I will have to sell my EVO. Doubtful I won't be able to get my money out of it.

There's more to cameras than numbers. The Epic might have less megapixels, but it has a better camera sensor, and several comparisons have shown it takes better pictures than the EVO. The Hummingbird processor is faster than the Snapdragon, and even though the Epic gives up .3" of display, its a Super AMOLED screen. Add the front facing camera and the QWERTY keyboard, and frankly, I don't see anything in the Epic that qualifies as "settling".

I've also been with HTC and winmo for a while and am happy to switch. gTen I like your point of view. I too always like a fun, fair playing field especially with lots of players only helps us in the long run.
