[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linzgeneral:
I totally agree with you. I had both from launch, just sadly sold my 3D to my brother yesterday for $300 so obviously I choose the Epic Touch. This was primarily for bigger screen and much better camera. I just don't understand what the heck people are talking about that this phone is so much faster than the 3d. I am starting to think they had defective 3Ds. The 3ds had many bugs and speed or overheating was not one of them as I found the 3d to be as fast if not slightly faster in day to day operations - I have seen the GS2 stutter. I am getting constant reheating issues - phone feels like an oven, especially when playing video for sometimes less than a minute, freezess and instances of lag, gps cant find me closer than a few hundred yards, speaker is just as weak as 3D, music definitely sounds better on the 3d- noticed this right away as the Samsung lacks bass. I think that the phones are very comparable and not remotely as far apart as some homers will make you think. While the screen is sharp and vibrant, I miss the sharpness of the qhd plus more per page. I've found that videos also look much sharper on the3d becasse of the packed pixels, anyone saying other wise is hellucinating and in denial - I have seen enough videos to prove this - plus its common sense. Again, I am not talking about color or vibrancy - subjective anyway - some will say "oversaturated or unnatural", I am talking about sharpness and clarity. Don't get me started on games- I have sacrificed greatly in this area. The 3d plays everything flawlessly. I only have three of the 12 games I had on my 3D working now on my GS2 but I understand that this will probably change in time. The three games play exactly the same on both phones with no noticeable difference in speed whatsoever. I am really impressed with the 3d processor and have long concluded that those benchmark differences do not translate to everyday use of the phone. That being said I choose the Epic Touch and will be patient and keep my fingers crossed that the kinks will be worked out soon because despite what some will promulgate, there are many as is expected with any new device.

Sorry you couldn't see the 3d it was amazing, especially in pics and it defnitely added a new dimension to games.

I found my 3D ahd better battery life and it was noticelby better. I would tun on my music at 9 am each day after full charge. At noon, the 3d would show about 92% left, the Epic Touch will show low eighties, or high seventies, been testing for two weeks. That being said, the Touch battery seems to be improving with time.

Can you give me a list of games that work with this powerful (I say incompatable) Mali processor. I cant seem to find many. The ones that I did get to work like NFS, Lets Golf 2, and Nova, I have seen absolutely no difference in performance for the 3D. Do you guys just read what other people write or do you test things for yourselves. I don't want to read someones opinion, I want thing to work. I've read everywhere that the GPS is fixed but mine is a half mile off every time I try to use it and yes I optimized the settings. Why is the phone instantly overheating every time I start a video or play a game - moreso with video? The Qulacomm never did this. It's obvious to me from experience that those benchmarks don't mean much.
