IMOHO this thing is far from epic, it is just another next gen device that htc and moto will out doo in the coming months.

Oh and the evo looks 100x better than this cheap looking toy. even if both of them are CDMA root phones.]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/I know its just one phone but if they rene the phone with new eatures, they should also renew the design and layout. iPhone 4's layout is still the same.]]>Jun 28th 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jun 28th 2010 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/damnit...i wish HTC would make a large flagship qwerty slider like this.

I like android and everything but i need to see some hardware come out. i hate how many phones they are spitting out yet they are all pretty much the same,

oh, and i will reiterate, EV-DO = hilarious yesterdays joke, WI-MAX is tomorrows joke. good for nothing more than a back-haul for LTE.

Why wouldn't they? It will have to be charged the same $10 (doesn't really matter for me since I get a 25% discount off my plan but even still $10 isn't that much) for premium 4g unlimited data. The bigger question is how much more the hot spot feature will cost. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jun 28th 2010 4:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Sooo..

Not impressed with samsung build quality OR their ability to implement anything software-wise. I had an upstage, the instinct was terrible (both versions) the moment is passable, but squeaky and cheap feeling outside of a case - bulky inside one.
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because I know they _can_ put out good hardware, but I'm not holding my breath.
I was a huge proponent of hardware keyboards until the Evo and it's glorious 4.3" on-screen offering.]]>Jun 28th 2010 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/

Enough is enough with these stupid Android hardware statistics. It is now plainly obvious that Android marketers are shilling stats in place of true utility and usability. Whatever the numbers are, you can be sure they cut corners all around.

In other words, cheap crap for deeks (d*cks pretending to be geeks).

Real geeks are sufficiently solvent buy Apple for themselves and use whatever crap their shortsighted employers buy for 'value'.

That's an Epic Fail.]]>Jun 28th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/stfu already you stupid apple sackriding idiot.

If you are fortunate enough to be in a WiMax area like I am, it's been fantastic. This weekend, I was sitting in a coffee shop watching USA vs Ghana over 4G on SprintTV. I was in South Pasadena, which is about 10 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Though LA has been announced as getting WiMax up this year, they've been gradually rolling it out over various parts of the area, and not just LA city proper. I know I'm one of the lucky few, but I do believe Sprint/Clear are working double-time to get WiMax rolled out to all the cities they've announced, and their efforts are showing here in LA.]]>Jun 28th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jun 29th 2010 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jun 29th 2010 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jun 29th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/samsungs-epic-4g-for-sprint-seems-to-live-up-to-its-name/Jul 8th 2010 12:34PM
