[General Questions and Answers] KBJ3:
Hi, I am looking to make a big purchase on a phone. I dont think I can choose just one and I think I may have to just have two and later decide after playing with both.

I have some money to spend and I want a quality phone. Last time I had money to spend on a phone, I mean real money $$$, I didn't know what phone to get, it was my first Android. Just a little explanation: I bought the new LG Optimus from Metro PCS and hated it, so I went to Tmobile and got their, at the time new, MyTouch 4G Slide, and I was having so many issues with it, they traded me out that with HTC Amaze.

Now I do enjoy my Amaze, but really I am not satisfied. So I think I am going to pass it down to my mom, or sister, and pick up one of these. I am still learning how to optimize my Android, so please understand thats why I would just like some opinions, and thank you.

In order of preference:

1. GALAXY S II

After this one I am not sure what my preference is. I wanted the GALAXY S II because my friend has a fascinate and loves her to death. Next is really just guessing which phones I would like.

2. Epic 4G Touch

Honestly I am not sure of all what is out there. I would just like to choose a phone based mainly on performance. I am not watching very many movies, maybe now and then Youtube. Mostly I do web browsing, and talking/texting. I like the Amaze it just has some moments that I feel frustrated, and even though that may happen with another phone. I just feel there is a phone out there that is right for me. I looked through the specs of all these phones, and they have very similar features.

I want something thin, and light weight. The Amaze is thin, but it is a little heavy. I want a wider screen. A friend of mine put his EVO 3D up next to my Amaze and though they had the same height of display-- the EVO had less phone at the top and bottom, it was wider, and it was lighter. Although the specs are better on the Amaze.

Any other questions I can ask to help find which phone best suites my needs. I will post. I thought this thread could be useful to anyone searching these phones. I added the GALAXY Note at the end because I do alot of writing, but that might not actually fit on the list. Please suggest your phones if there are others. {not interested in Apple}
