I just wish it didn't have a keyboard and mimic the iphone UI look, otherwise I'd be all over this thing.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
I bought an LG flip phone about 5 years ago, and upgraded to a Droid Incredible a couple weeks ago. That was a huge jump for me, especially since I used that LG phone to a literal death.

I can only imagine what I will be upgrading to in another 5 years...]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/

Transformers 2 sucks as a movie but makes a great HD movie sample to show off ur 3.5inch+ AMOLEDs/Retinas/SLCDs]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
First Samsung phone I'm impressed with, usually find their stuff boring but this is tops. I do have to wonder how their own mobile OS will turn out though - why aren't they pushing that on these high end devices?]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/How does it mimic the iPhone look? Seriously...
I prefer physical keyboards. On screen ones just don't do it for me. Personal preference though.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
The specs and "screen" half are money. Something about that keyboard screams TI-89 to me.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
What's up with all of these self flattering names? First the Incredible and now Epic?

What's next the HTC Chuck Norris?

Anywho, looks kickass...coming from an iPhone 4er. ]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
I don't like Samsung's future software/support]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Since this phone is going on the 4 top US carriers and 1 big regional carrier the consumer base will be huge, and thus the number of baked ROMs from XDA-developers will be amazing.

I'm not too worried about Samsung supporting it because I know XDA will.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
I agree. This phone looks pimp. I have a feeling this phone will sell the most in the U.S. out of all the Galaxy S phones. Physical qwerty, front facing camera, and 4G. Win. We'll see though after the holidays.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
This is SO my next phone. Can't wait to have this and the EVO. I hope the Entertainment store opens sooner rather than later--before Christmas?]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
oh shit...hes holding it with both hands says the iphone 4 user.

Sorry had to.

Man this phone is nice i like the screen. But my heart belongs to the EVO!]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Just for the record, I would totally buy the HTC Chuck Norris.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Ditto. This phone simply blows the competition away. I just hope Cyanogen has a custom 2.2 ROM ready for it with all the goodies retained (video codecs, live wallpapers...etc) when its released.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
It really speaks volumes about Samsung's craptastic device and driver support when people are relying on a hacking community to support a phone instead of the manufacturer.]]>Jun 29th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Does it use a standard USB mini B connector instead of a proprietary dock?

Does it support TV out? If so, via what cables?
Standard or proprietary?

Does it work as a standard USB harddrive?

If answer1 and answer2 and answer3 then Me.buy = true]]>Jun 29th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/i would buy the HTC Chuck Norris even if it was a home phone with tape on the back that said HTC Chuck Norris.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
This phone looks amazing!!! Just wanted to get that off my chest before I answer your questions.

"Does it use a standard USB mini B connector instead of a proprietary dock?"

Yep. good old mini USB.

"Does it support TV out? If so, via what cables?
Standard or proprietary?"
It's actually video out via DLNA.

"Does it work as a standard USB harddrive?"
Yep. As does every Android phone.]]>Jun 29th 2010 8:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Don't forget the Hero!

Well, I'm still using my old RAZR v3]]>Jun 29th 2010 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
How else do you compete with a name like Droid Incredible?]]>Jun 29th 2010 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
and finally a top-tier phone, WITH A KEYBOARD!

(ps- no offense to those who don't like keyboards)]]>Jun 29th 2010 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 29th 2010 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
they should rename this phone.

Samsung Money 4G. ]]>Jun 29th 2010 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Sprint's lineup IS money. Wow, they have the most impressive line up of phones and cell tech (4G). Maybe a hail marry, but it just make work WITH the 2 point conversion.]]>Jun 30th 2010 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
It really does look amazing.
If they made it with GSM and kept everything else exactly the same I would be all over it.]]>Jun 30th 2010 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/Jun 30th 2010 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/
Thank you for your assistance, it is appreciated.
Polite/kind individuals are a rarity online.

Yes.

DLNA for wireless TV-out, and you can also get SD video out from the 3.5mm jack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMnOvAvCTiA
