Just got the Epic today and was playing with it. Touchwiz is surprisingly good one problem was that I was going in and out of 3g network where as my previous phones never did...

Now after all day of extensive use, I want to customize it...
any cool customization tips on the interface, live wallpapers and such?
Any good task killer apps?

I'm in the same boat... just got mine on 8/31 so i have little experience. I'm forcing myself to go slow with any major stuff. For example I think a task killer may not be the best option. I put the program monitor widget on the main home screen. It's under Samsung Widgets. It keeps track of open programs (or really applications). You can click on it for a detail report of running programs.
Another neat trick is to hold the home key down for a few seconds and a window with the last 6 programs run is displayed. You'll also see a task manager button on that too.
For now I close all my programs by using the back key. Maybe later I will need something like ATK to provide even greater control.

hth,

Advanced Task Killer is an absolute must for any Android phone.

get beautiful widgets off the market ( i think it's like $1.99 on the market) but for me, it's must on the epic. it adds a home clock similar to htc sense, and you can toggle on and off certain things like brightness, wifi, gps, etc....
