If you're going to run a rumor thread you best step your game up zman.

I saw the same article today...also states AT&T may be the only US carrier to get the SGSII. If Sprint doesn't get it, looks like I'll be holding on to the Epic for a while longer yet, as the WiThin was the only thing that I wanted to swap it out for.

We'll see about how the Photon pans out, but 3D ain't gonna happen with me.
[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
That was a Galaxy Z I think its called, not a GS2.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
What, no Sprint is definitively going to get the sgs 2. September 4th is the new date. I think I'm actually going to write a rumor article on my site, because if all the other sites get all these hits for bogus rumors, then my legit ones should get some credit too

Think I will just end up going with the photon considering it will likely have an unlocked bootloader soon enough after its release. If we get gingerbread source before then I think I could be patient enough. Would love to use miui without sacrificing anything other than no 4g.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
If Sprint is going to get the SGSII, then I'll hold out for that. I must've misread that or something...

Either way you slice it, if for some reason we don't, then I'm with this guy; Photon if unlocked but if we get GB source shortly, then I'll hold off and wait for the next best thing :P.

[Epic 4G General] xjman:
Noob did you wait for me to stop showing up and try to fill these peoples head with stupidity? Samsung flat out fell on their face with the epic. Owning a Nexus S is hands down proof of that. They can't even optimize software for their own damn hardware. That phone had so much potential that it will never live up to unless Deca can get it where it needs to be.

I hate to break it to you, but the Evo 3d rapes this phone every way from Sunday. Live in your delusion, but the facts are the facts. It is so far beyond more responsive than the Epic ever could be.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
EVERYONE. THIS ^^^^ DUDE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

/me bows.

Now that your delusion is over, please stop dissing noobnl. Second thread I've seen it in. What is wrong with you? Maybe some of the post makes sense. Yeah, Samsung failed with the epic. But you know what? You obviously have no idea what is coming. Drop in the irc every month or so. You don't know how much goes on.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
HA! How do you think ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile feel about their Galaxy S series? Sprint Samsung Epic got GB WITH the keyboard that some say held the update back...the others...still no GB! Out of the big 4...Epic is still king!
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
I quit going to the IRC because it turned into a pile of stupidity.

You guys seriously don't remember noob pushing people to flash recoveries, roms, ect that had screwed up update scripts that he swore he used. Then after the first group of people permabricked their phones because of his superior knowledge the then announced he hadn't tried. Unless he had some epiphany I would be super wary.

I've called him out for this **** many times, you guys are seriously putting your eggs in the wrong basket. Count on Deca, he is the man with the knowledge to get you what you want and need. Noob spouts off any random bs to make himself look like he is top dog.

This has nothing to do with anything but me warning you guys. Samsung did not 100% fail with the epics hardware. They failed big time on the software, not let noobs goony ass fail you again.
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Feel free to let the door hit you in the ads on the way out.

Could care less what wipes the floor with what. The fact you're so petty and need to hop in a forum you no longer have need to be in just for this post is lame. And until there is another 5 row keyboarded 4+ inch phone, this is the most overall productive phone out there. Enjoy your nexus s. Buh bye.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Irc is full of stupidity? And xda isn't?

That was all before I got my epic. So I could care less about what

happened

, I care about what's happening now. And that's a lot.
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
I'm telling you guys this because its important you know who is putting software on your phones. These people could put anything on there and you have to trust them not to do anything shady.

You guys are completely missing the point. The hummingbird is probably the best single core SoC on the market, its why google chose it. Its Samsungs software that borked it.

Its not being petty, its trying to keep you guys from reliving the past. If you would like more information about noobnl please see joeykrim, he is a certified xda developer, and the person noobnl stole the original root method for the epic from.

I know hands down I don't have the knowledge to get cm completely working, but I was able to get further than noob ever did. Trust in Decad3nce, but seriously look out for anything noobnl does on his own.

But aren't they the same ones that brought us this phone...I'm SO confused!
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Thanks for the "warning", I know we're all different ages, but I personally am old enough to make my own decisions as an adult. Not trying to take contrary to your slightly bitter statement, but in the end, we're the ones ultimately responsible for our phones, you can warn like a madman, and you can also not warn at all. In the end, it's still our choice to make. You've stated someone else's flaws, fine by me, but I'm not sure if the forum rules would agree. We all have flaws. Remember that freedom of speech does not apply to the Internet. I can see your posts as helpful, in the off-topic section or something, since it's mixing observation, hatred, truth, and opinions all in one. I don't expect a reply from you, and if you do feel like replying pm it to me, I've nothing to add on such a juicy thread meant for phone rumors, and not XDA user rumors mixed with... oh you get the point.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Wow, some venom is being spit in this thread. As someone who has learned a lot from testing so much on here, it has made me realize how much I need to learn. Is it good to be able to really look into a ROM before you flash it? Hell yeah. This is what I am trying to improve myself. Are there devs that, when they have some problems, start trying random things such as throwing **** at the problem until it sticks to fix it? Yes. If you really enjoy Android, try to learn more about how things work. I know I am. Yes flashing things can make things work better or worse on your phone. We are fortunate to have some really good devs here. Part of being a flashaholic is flashing something right when it comes out. Essentially we are the testers. Once a ROM has been out a bit then a judgment can be made about it. I think I babbled enough. Here are some pics of the newest ICS ROM leak (not SDK one)
