[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
I really like the design of the phone itself.. great color scheme, very stylish. Build quality is supposedly top-notch. The Verge's review mentioned it was the BEST screen they've ever seen on a handset. That's a bold statement! Even if it looks incredible, I'll have a hard time ditching SAMOLED+.. the infinite, deep blacks have won me over.

What I didn't see mentioned was the exclusion of microSD.. really HTC? Non-removable battery and no external storage.. that's almost as gimped as iDevices. Google's upcoming 'Google Drive' service should alleviate some of the need for external storage, but what about the 'Save for Offline Use'? I would still prefer expandable storage.. especially at the prices they selling for these days..

Only a chimp would trigger a bootloop. You know any chimps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait, I thought that was a valid question. I have never owned a HTC (or any device you can't remove battery) so what would you do? How would you get to recovery if say you flash a kernel that's undervolted and it goes nuts on you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I would assume they would incorporate the hard reboot that our epic has.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Go fu** yourself troll. You're mother is the chimp here, at least that's the word on the streets. You do nothing but troll around and post stupid **** constantly. You know nothing about phones and that's obvious, now go back in your hole turtlehead, and quit ****ing trolling. It's not the first time you posted some stupid ass **** right after my post, now get off my nuts!

Sorry mods.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Lol. Wow. Guess I don't know the whole story. I thought he was just being sarcastically funny.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Lolololololololololololol... spitting fire!

Edit..thanks kbizzle, I knew I was forgetting something. They could add a boot to recovery or hard reset option
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
No SD slot, no replaceable battery, no way.

Too bad too, it looks like a helluva nice phone! (Well, the T3 version does, anyway!)

Time better spent in anger management. This was uncalled for, to say the least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Ill probably end up getting the EVO One once permanent root is available. My sgs2 is so 2011 lol, unless the galaxy note is coming to sprint Id rather grab that instead. But the E1 is definitely a beast.

I agree 100% , although the evo3d was a flop. I always like te features sense offered, the Facebook integration, the share features. Cm9 will scream on that phone also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] az18zz:
The phone software the way they optimized ics and sense together is somewhat cool but of course the epic touch is just too epic lol

Epic touch phone of xXHELLBoy91Xx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
the One S is very nice too. but for once, im totally satisfied with the et4g. for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
I'm definitely considering it. (Well the variant of it on sprint thats going to be the EVO1) :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I'll be keeping my E4GT until my contract ends the november after next, then I'll see what's up with sprints LTE network and decide what phone from there... or possibly switch carriers, who knows?

but my friend who still is rocking the OG evo is due for upgrade, I'm telling her to get the new HTC... it looks freak'n sweet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
I up graded this past december so between the HTC,The SGS3 and maybe the IP5...I'll have to wait and see whats what.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Wow, so many phones that are so much better than the iPhone coming out this year, Id feel cheated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
Im glad HTC came out with a really quality phone. while these companies compete to one up the other we get quality phones and variety.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Eww, a non removable battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
I don't think this one will get me to jump from the GS2.

I'll wait for the GS3 most likely
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I'll consider it once the Sprint version is announced April 4th... To see the differences.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DarkPhoenix:
I'm thinking that I'll hold out for the SGS3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Too gimped of a phone, non removable battery,no external sdcard,locked bootloader(until HTC releases source) tegra3 and s4 will only be slightly faster then our exynos, not enough to warrant a purchase or 2 yr upgrade for sure. Omap5 or Mali dual core a15 plz!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Every HTC phone I have owned has had problems with dust getting under the screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I'll pass even though I know my experience with HTC has been quality. Just not a major jump from this phone.

I'm pretty happy with the SGS2 I just acquired... The camera actually looks good and not blurry or crappy like my previous HTC devices. The build quality might not feel tough but it is! Hardware sure is good as well... Very smooth and no lag.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Light bleed a very popular topic in HTC country as well.

Their hardware is junk for the most part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
Yeah, HTC's hardware is "junk" for the most part.

That's exactly why if you asked ANY Android phone enthusiast the question "What is HTC MOST recognized for in the cellphone manufacturing industry?", the answer is always gonna be "build quality", whether you've owned one of their phones or not: it's what they're KNOWN FOR. I guess that's the reason that same sentiment is always brought up by tech writers all over the planet, in review after review after review: because their hardware is "junk"...?

Give me a freakin break.

(Smh...Some people just shouldn't be allowed to make posts whatsoever.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
I'll have to agree. I absolutely love the Epic Touch but before I gave Samsung a try I was strictly HTC and the main reason why was "Build Quality".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Hard to say. I loved my evo 4g, i love this phone more, but i definitely miss how i could change kernel and recovery with no problems and never had to worry about bricking my phone and gps lock was fast. aosp development was also pretty fast. I'll probably wait for sg3 since i won't be due for an upgrade until October
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
If every HTC phone has 200 page threads with complaints about build quality like the one I linked, they are doing it wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
Wow.

200 pages?

That sounds like a lot of people.

Actually, that kinda reminds me of this:

http://goo.gl/NKL7X

I guess they're doing it wrong too.

(C'mon, man..Think about how many phones were bad out of the sheer number produced (in both cases...)

Sometimes it's easy for someone to blow off the big picture if they're only using one of MANY variants of the same phone...Mistakes happen when devices are produced in the millions (on both sides), but overall HTC phones are at the top for build quality for a reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arcataslacker:
My first Android device was a CDMA Hero and loved it, followed up with an Incredible and still love it. The build quality for both was amazing, I would be waiting to see how the One series panned out at launch if I didn't fall in love with this screen.

Barring any launch debacle it's gonna be a tough pick between the GS3 and One as it stands.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have a question about phones that have white plastic. Do they turn that nasty yellow color over time? Another thing is about the crooked screen. My friend had an E3D and it seemed like his screen was crooked. Was that the case for anyone else?

Also the specs on SGS3 are purely speculation right now but you have to bet they are keeping an eye on what HTC is doing. I am happy my Nexus line doesn't upgrade until late June because hopefully there's a clearer picture about SGS3 specs by then so I can decide whether or not to wait. I have no will power when it comes to phones. I was at the Sprint Store when they opened on launch day of the ET4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
1st ET4g had a dead pixel and search button light went out,

Replaced with 2nd ET4g which overheated and almost caused a fire, on my 3rd ET4g which has very bad gps issues (take 5-10 minutes to lock), I am tolerating because I don't use gps much and don't want the hassle for another phone. I never had a HTC replaced, my GF's son is still rocking my OG EVO without issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
yep HTC is far ahead of samsung with quality and actually kinda catching up with Apple...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, did you get these phones from an actual Sprint store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yeah Sammy needs to catch up to HTC on build quality. I'm on my third epic touch and I went through a couple epics too. All epic owners know that sammy phones are all different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Yea.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
After about 4-5 evo 3d's in a 6 month period im not buying anything htc for awhile (im not tying to be a fanboy/bias ive owned the g1,hero,and evo 4g.... Along with the 3d) just my personal opinion....

Dual core was so last year (lol) yes the s4 blows the tegra 3 away but its kinda like what apple is doing....

(higher res screen,bigger screen, tweaked cpu/gpu) it is a upgrade.... But not substantial enough for me to waste a upgrade on it..... Ill see what come out later this year (sgs3)

Hopefully the sprint variant has expandable memory... I have 2 32gb sd cards would be kinda pissed if i couldnt use them... But hey htc partnered up with drop box for 25gb "cloud" storage.... -_-

Got AOKP?

Holy S**t...Are you me?

Seriously, I need therapy for that; If it hits my hand, I'm usually done for.

**shudders**

tl;dr:

I canNOT be trusted inside the walls of a Best Buy.

Edit: Pocketnow just reported that the Sprint version (codenamed "Jewel"?) shows a dedicated camera button, and said a kickstand and a battery change to 2650 mA will also be differences.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WARpig5:
This seems to be a disturbing trend among android phones. No removable battery and lack of an external sd card. I don't know if it has anything to do with ICS or the manufacturers and carriers are looking for ways to drain as much money from us as they can. I admit, this phone is rather sexy but I can never pick looks over functionality. And with the epic touch I have both!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Its trending into iPhone land. I don't mind non removable batteries tho, if they're as huge as the razr maxxx's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Another post brought up a good point, what about boot loops and the phone crashing? No battery pull?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Wow, sprint and HTC dropped the ball on this one. It is hideously ugly. What is up with the finger print magnet back (only on half of the back though...weird). And the red, ilk. And please stop with the names sprint, when I said the phone would be called the "sprint htc evo one x 4g lte" a few weeks back, I was joking...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
I'm not a fan of the HTC watermarked bootloader non-sense. Plus, after using an AMOLED screen on a daily basis, I can't go back. I occasionally pick up my wife's evo 4g, and the blacks are a really light grey. No thank you.

The phone will have some awesome specs, and it will be a great phone. But why would I want a super fast phone on a network that constantly gives me network outages, dropped calls, and slow data speeds? I used to get faster 3G speeds than 4G. Now I'd be better off using a 56k modem.

I'm in the Atlanta area, so I'll be in the first round of Sprint's LTE coverage map, but I don't see their QoS being any better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bpschoon:
I love everything about my phone with the exception of the persistent LoS issues. I'll probably jump to this once its released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Comparing the ET4g screen to the OG EVO isn't a valid comparison. Two entirely different types of screens and one was already obsolete when the epic touch was released. Were not going to compare the SGS3 screen to a Evo slide representing htc to determine which phone is better are we?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alchemist316:
Only phone im switching to is the sgs3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
My point is: no AMOLED, no care.

The Evo 4G LTE will be an amazing phone, and will probably actually be a good successor to the Evo line, unlike the Evo 3D was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Apparently the sprint version on the one x does have an external sd slot unlike its ATT/T-Mobile versions. Still gonna be a dealbreaker for most people about the nonremovable battery but that was cool of sprint to add it in.

As for me ill be rocking my epic4gtouch and g2x till I can afford the gs3! I'm spoiled on tegra2(g2x) gaming and samoled+ display, exynos soc/Mali gpu (gs2)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
For me, the non-removable battery is a non-issue. But I sit in a cube all day, with access to a charger. If the battery gets low, plug it in.

Now, if I worked in a warehouse, or out in the field somewhere, with no access to a charger, this would alter my outlook.

If companies want to steer users towards non-removable batteries, they should also work closer with accessory makers to create cases with batteries in them. All kinds of people have the mophie juice pack. But no one makes something like that for any other phone. I don't pretend to know how well something like this would sell, since there are so many phones out there. I used to have one with my Ipaq H5555. That was awesome. Even had 2 CF card slots. Big as hell, but extremely useful.

I seem to remember before the Evo 4G came out, a photo surfaced of a battery pack case on one of Sprint's slides. It never made it to the light of day, unfortunately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
I actually like the E4gLte I think it looks better than the One X in black but not as good as the One X in white. Im probably going to pick this up because from what I hear and see its every bit better than my E4GT (As it should being the "Newest"). But I also will pick up the SGS3 (I have a problem I know). With that being said though if I did not have the luxury to be able to pick up both phones the smart money is to wait for the SGS3. If your on the fence it will be the most "Serious" Android and possibly "Smartphone" in general for 2012. No need to bash the E4GLTE though its a wonderful device that htc and Sprint should be proud of. I had a Droid Razr for about 4 or 5 months and it had a non removable battery and to be honest I never ran into a situation where I needed to remove the battery (besides wanting to replace it, man that thing had horrible battery life). I had instances where it would bootloop but I think all phones have a way to "Hard Reset" built into them. And I also believe HTC makes more sturdy hardware. Ive owned the Hero, Evo 4G, Evo 3d, Epic 4G touch, and Droid Razr, and to be honest the HTC devices felt up there with the moto devices (Hands down the best build quality). So I agree that the SGS3 will be a better device but there is no telling when it will be released (Currently slated to be revealed on May 22nd, if not a rumor). So for the android fiends like me who "Have a problem" it makes since if you want the latest and greatest to pick up the Evo 4gLTE. Also Ive always found HTC to be pretty good at updating there phones but I could care less about that its an HTC and an Evo wich pretty much means Root and Rom city (developers love HTC devices). JMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes they do and we have gummy, aokp, cm9, miui, soon sense and they are further along on these than on the 3d ....yep pays to have a pos evo 3d that I use as a back up alarm clock, but you know they can't put out 3 total pos phones in a row so this one had to be good .... it can't be as bad as the shift or 3d ....

I mean hell they even may put a decent screen in the thing that's not crooked with dust underneath it....maybe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Woah man I like HTC but I have to agree with you on the E3D, that thing was a nightmare. I remember all the posts of people who had soooo many problems with it. I bought it release day and I remember it crashed b4 I got it home and just the general feeling that I had been let down by HTC. But it def wasnt the norm for me when dealing with HTC. I think they kind of had to regroup because they were putting out WAAAAAY to many devices and spreading themselves to thin. With only focusing on the One line and the E4GLTE (which is basically in the One line) they kind of have no choice but to get back to the core of what HTC used to be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
This may sound trivial but the back of that device is just A-1 ugly. From the front it looks pretty good but what's with the matte/glossy combination?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Well its def subjective but its grown on me. When I first saw the leaks I was like "Yeah Right That Thing Is FUUGLY", now after some time Im like you know what I actually like it. And then when looking at the slides here http://www.androidcentral.com/evo-4g-lte-isnt-htc-one-x-%E2%80%94-its-better Im on board. I think the One X has a simpler design that would entice the majority of people and with the E4GLTE they went for a bolder design. I like both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It's still fugglly to me but I will get this one .... Really doesn't matter what it looks like I always have mine in a case ....I can fix the ugly and like u I will get the g$3 when it arrives too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
SG3 is definitely my next phone, unless something happens to my E4GT before it comes out then I might take this phone based solely on my experience with, and love for, the OG EVO. But, with that said, I'm hoping my sweet E4GT sticks around until time to move on up to the SG3. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
This is for all those Evo3d fans this forum seems to be full of (haha)...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
Same here,i ordered 3 Epics from Amazon and all of them had "Supper warm screen temperature",the Epics that Sprint store has on display all have "Cool blue temperature" where whites are white.

When i compare my whites to my original Epic 4g it makes me want to sell my white Epic Touch.

If i look at screen at an angle my screen is white as snow but if i look at the screen straight it has real yellow/orange tint to white pages.

But other then that i have no issues except lately when my phone is pluged in my brightness goes down automatically,if i go into settings and try to turn it up it says "The brightness has been turned down to prevent overheating" but i think its due to my protective rubber case.But still samsung builds their phones better then htc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
So the the new EVO has a bigger screen and the same aspect ratio as our phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmmajor:
I'm loving it...I think its a unique beautiful device...IMO the design of this phone looks muchbetter thought of than the Galaxy S2. Look at the making of it on youtube=> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNlGtUPuabs ..and guys, the plastic on the top is for the radio and NFC to work better..I think lol..It would make sense. Everybody's getting there hopes up for a phone that hasn't even been announced yet..we don't even know what carriers it coming to nor when its coming. We could get it a year later like we did with this phone. Is Everybody gonna wait till then if so?? => "oh the Galaxy S3 is going to be such a better phone".."oh the screens on the galaxy S's are better cuz it amoled" "blah..blah..blahhhhh". How does anybody knows its better and we haven't even seen it!! And has anybody seen the reviews on the One X. Almost everybody say it has the best screen quality they have ever seen. IDK maybe the Galaxy S3 will be a better phone...who knows besides Samsung?? If it turns out to be **** it I'll buy it and this phone too..I'm just saying..cant knock it till you try it.....

love it or hate it....I DONT CARE :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
I def missed that when I watched the video earlier but let me tell you it would have been extreme fail if HTC released that evo 3d/one x bastard device. Let me tell you why.

1.People, just in general, hated the 3d of the evo 3d and thought it as a gimmick at best. (Most of the time without even owning one)

2. It looks to me that it is significantly thicker than the announced E4GLTE=fail

3. The Evo 3d wasn't a significant seller. To this day I have only met one person other than me that actually had the phone (In real life not on XDA). Yet majority of the friends that I have who are on Sprint still own and Evo 4g.

Those my friend do not equal a winning equation to release a successor to a device. Once again IMO...
