[General Questions and Answers] Biker1:
I had the Evo 4G for a year, and then purchased the Samsung Epic 4G Touch because the Evo 3D didn't do a thing for me, and I actually thought the 3D was no where near an upgrade to the Evo 4G, which was Great!

I really like the SET4G, and look forward to seeing the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the store.

I went into a Sprint Store earlier, and to my surprise, the sales guy couldn't push the Evo 4G LTE hard enough on me.

I explained that I was waiting to see the S3 in store when it arrived, and would probably purchase it, if LTE was coming online sooner, rather than later.

The Sales guy was like, but the Evo 4G LTE is so much better.

I asked why is that? You don't even have the S3 yet?

He said that the display is really much better than the S3, and that it's no comparison.

What?!

Even if the Evo 4G LTE display is slightly better, it's not as big a deal as this guy made it sound.

Obviously the guy was trying to make a sale, but jeeze, putting down the S3 the way he was, was so unbelievable, that you couldn't believe anything this guy was saying about either device.

I explained the removeable battery, in addition to that the pentile screen was pretty good. He said that it's the same display as the SET4G, and it's not that good.

I explained that the SET4G was Super Amoled Plus, and the S3 was Super Amoled. but the Pixel density was much higher, and the reviews were pretty good for the display.

I said there are articles that are blown out of proportion regarding the tremendous difference in the displays of the S3 and the Evo 4G LTE, and that it sounds like some people have been reading them lol!

Anyway, I'm most likely going to go with the S3 because:

1) it has a 2100mAh Removeable battery

2) it has 2GB of RAM

3) it has a 32GB internal memory option

4) I like the color Blue :D

5) I believing that HTC locks down their phones much more than Samsung, regarding S-Off, Rooting, etc.

The sales guy said he also had the Samsung Epic 4G Touch but really likes the Evo 4G LTE so much better.

Well, the SE4GT is already a year old. Let's compared Oranges to Oranges when the S3 arrives.

I asked him if he knew about the show in Boston tonight, when the S3 is revealed for 2 hours?

He said no.

Really?

He said that they are usually the last to know about those things.

That I can believe with my experience with this guy.

He walked away, and I compared my display with the Evo 4G LTE display regarding brightness, and the colors of the app draw icons, knowing that the Evo 4G LTE has an HD display.

I made sure the brightness was at 100% on both.

The colors really popped on the SET4G, compared to the colors on the Evo 4G LTE, which appeared washed out.

I called the Rep over to take a look.

I said to him look at how these colors Pop on the Samsung.

He immediately said that the Brightness needs to be 100% on the Evo, and went into Settings. I told him I already set it.

He said that the Brightness is not that important. He continued and said look at this Video. He put on the Rihanna video.

I said that I understand that the Evo 4G LTE has an HD screen, and besides, my SE4GT is a year old.

I continued and said I need to see the S3 display in person. But that I didn't think that it was going to be a deal breaker, one way or the other. He said we'll see when it comes out.

Anyway, the Sprint Store Rep sounded like he was reading from the Atnt Evo One script, explaining to customers what the Evo advantages are item by item, when asked, as compared to the S3.

If you hadn't seen that Memo, it's pretty funny.

I'm not an HTC or a Samsung diehard.

I'm for whatever device seems to be the better one, as determined by Hands-on,

Reviews, Feedback and more Reviews, as long as they're not written by the Sprint Sales Rep I had today lol!

What I mean is that when the Evo 4G came out, I waited a few months to see how it panned put. I determined that this was a Fantastic Device, and purchased it. The Evo 4G lived up to its Reputation.

Then the HTC EVO 3D came out, and I thought that it was a mediocre device at best, no matter what the HTC diehards were saying. I believe I made a wise choice not purchasing that device.

Then the Samsung Epic 4G Touch was available, I went into the store, read the reviews, and I was blown away by it.

Then the HTC Evo 4G LTE was made available, and right away, the non removable battery was a deal breaker for me. I didn't see what the benefits to this were.

Oh yeah, the Atnt memo says that the S3 is susceptible to getting Dust inside, and it's susceptible to water damage.

Yeah, my removeable battery devices are caked with Dust, and the Batteries are in need of a Life Preserver lol!

I read about the S3 and thought that this was going to be my next device.

I'll wait till it arrives, go into the store and have some experience with it, and read the reviews.

But as I mentioned, I doubt I'll give up my SE4GT, which now gets 4G service.

If I purchased an LTE device, I'll be relegated to only 3G Signal, which is Damn Slow, until I can take advantage of LTE, when Sprint decides to get those Towers up and running for the Masses.

We all know what happened to Wimax :-(

Btw, the Rep said that the LTE towers are being Tested in NYC and thinks they'll be up by the end of the month.

I said end of the month?

I read that they're talking about 2013.

He said he meant by the end of the Summer.

Uh, ok.

Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong with either device, but my preference is for the S3 for some of the reasons stated.

I do have to wait till I see it though.

Sorry for being long in the tooth, But that's how I roll :D
