[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
It seems in life people rarely post anything good about a product that works for them, but if it's flawed enough to anger them you can bet there will be posts from every person that has experienced one. This is why I am making this post. Unlike some of my fellow E.T, owners I haven't experienced any negative issues with this phone that I could actually say were the phone's fault.

L.O.S - The only LOS issues I have had or continue to have is the same LOS issue My Evo 4g had, My wife's Evo Shift has. It is at the same location between my home and work. So I attribute this to a network issue not the phones.

Wifi signal - I will admit that the BARS on my ET do show lower than the Bars on my Evo 4g or my wife's Evo Shift, but it gets signal in places in my house that neither of those devices ever get signal and it does it while showing zero bars. It also gets faster speeds on the same network.

Battery life - I don't use my phone any differently than I did with my Evo 4g. With my Evo, by noon I was reaching for a charger or a spare battery with the ET I haven't been below 48% when leaving work. I have played around on it and got it down to the low 20's though but that is later in the evening. I am averaging 12 hours on battery with heavy use before plugging it in at night. It is my work phone so battery life was the biggest selling point for me and it paid off. I average 50+ voice calls a day that range in time from 3 minutes to close to an hour. I receive and respond to 15+ emails a day and send about 20 texts a day. I read the news for about 20 minutes on it in the morning and check FB about 3 times a day for 10 minutes each time. I don't watch movies on it but do occasionally watch a video someone posts on FB. I listen to Audible about 3 hours a day, which isn't streaming it's just playing the files on the phone. I rarely stream and when I do the phone is plugged in to the car and I am on a road trip.

4G - I have left the 4g radio on all day and only saw about 10% more battery consumption over leaving it off. I have 4g at work and most the way home, but not at my house. My Evo 4g would have been dead in about 1 hr if I left it on without being plugged in. I have noticed the 4g radio does sleep, not sure if it does on the Evo 4g. From my usage you can see 4g isn't that important to me.

Waking up - As far as the slight delay when waking the phone. It doesn't bother me because it doesn't interfere with the function of the phone. With the Evo 4g I had at least 3 sense crashes a day where I waited longer for sense to reload. So I figure if I add up all the 1 second pauses to wake this phone up it's still less than the total time waiting for crashed sense to reload 3 times a day.

This thing is blazing fast and has a beautiful screen. I am very happy with this upgrade.

I did however have one issue that I was able to trace back to an app or at least once that app was removed the issue went away. On my Evo 4g which never had great battery life, I had used the Xscope browser and loved it's usefulness and functionality, however at about day 3 of app installs, I only install 3 apps a day in case there is an issue I know which to look at 1st, I began to see a sever battery drain. I went from getting 12+ hours a day to getting less than 8 hrs a day. So I removed the 3 apps and behold the battery drain was gone. Xscope was my favorite of the 3 apps so it went back on 1st and bam battery drain was back. So I removed it and placed the other 2 apps, Flixster and Audible, and didn't see the drain return. Not wanting to place blame or start a flame war with fans of Xscope so I am just reporting that some of your issues may be caused by Apps you have installed. I know I have friends that dump 50+ apps on a phone the day they get it and don't configure anything. Then ***** that they are having issues like battery drain or slow internet when in fact it's a misbehaving app not the phone.

These are just my experiences and are not to be taken as Gospel.
