Welcome to the dark side :)

We have information for most stuff around but if you need anything feel free to ask and me and others will be glad to assist you the best we can.

As for Android, its not as hard as it looks..just gotta understand a few basics and you'll now it like the back of your hand..if you have any linux experience it makes it even easier to adopt to..If not its still fairly simple...

I love my Epic, but just my own opinion, it doesn't need any custom rom, it works great without it! :)

Yeah im sure it does but ive been reading up and I really want to get rid of the carrier Iq out of my phone.

Im going to be asking alot of questions so thanks that you guys are willing to help. Im sure later though your going to regret you offered. lmao j/k

Not to threadcr*p, but if you bought it w/2yr, you should have it pricematched to Best Buy which does cover upgrade (not mentioned on flyer) for $0+free bonus CD. I took the plunge myself from my trusty TP2, which I still love the keyboard/tilting screen. If your TP2 is still usable, you should look into AndroBoosting it, when FRX07 comes out it'll be a very stable and usable backup device that's on Sprint's network.

He bought it off ebay on no contract...and welcome to the dark side, we have milk and cookies! :)

Welcome O.P. I also came from a TP2 and am loving this Epic more and more.
As for custom Roms, for me, the easiest way has been to use Odin to flash an all-in-one Rom like this one.

Especially with the versions changing so often. That rom is mostly stock, no CIQ, already rooted! If you want to try another Rom,ec05, you can then just flash it as a .zip using recovery.

Whatever you decide, just enjoy!
