I STILL THINK MY EPIC ROCKS

well screen size is important but the speeds of touch just do it for me and i still have og epic but hell i got extra touch for a penny and now its just my tester. its good to love og epic but threes tons of reasons to upgrade to touch from camera to speeds.

I've been holding on to my upgrade for two months now. I almost sprang for the Touch, but I fell back in love with my keyboard. Speed is good, big screen is good too, but that wasn't enough to justify the upgrade when what I already have gets the job done. I can hold out for LTE and quad core, I rather be stuck with that for two years now that I will lose my Premier upgrade after this last one.

I can't stand this damn thing. I can't wait until the next keyboard phone comes out to switch. unfortunately, almost 1.5 years later, and this is still the best keyboard phone you can get hardware wise... and 1 year in today's phone market is ancient.

I think my problem is more with Android than the actual phone - why on earth does it have to ask me 3 times to click on 3 different buttons when I tell it to connect to pc? Why can't I click one and be done with it - for example? Why do I need to root it just so I can take a screenshot? Why do I need to root it just so I can do stuff that windows mobile 6.5 - aka what jesus had on his first cell phone - did, like wireless tether and stuff? The list goes on... The only faults with the hardware of the phone, the camera is a let down, and the position of the usb charging cable sucks, and the awesome GPS we all know...

/rant off.

it is not really android that is the issue, it's more like 20% hardware, 30% android and 50% carriers. With mods, the epic really rocks (CM7 slays it), but it is like HP/Dell/Lenovo computers, the companies have contracts and stuff that packs on bs turning the phone to poop. Once I got the KB fix for the lag, this phone was so much better.

what do you mean by connect to pc 3 buttons?

you don't need to root it to take a screenshot, well in Android you do(or need a physical pc) but Touchwiz comes with a built in screenshot program that doesn't need root.

And what exactly is wrong with the camera? its one of the best 5mp cameras there is on cellphones :/

I think he's talking about the connection process1) Mass Storage button (2) Connect To button and (3) OK button. Never seemed like a big deal to me.

gTen, where's the built-in Touchwiz screenshot program anyway? I've heard it's there but never found it, lol.

1) the epic touch's battery life is better and the processor is super zippy even stock
2) iphone 4gs: cause I have an ipad and the battery life is amazing compared to the epic
the reasons I won't change: CAUSE I NEED A F'N QWERTY.

Cyanogen Mod 7. Enough said.
