    Sprint Considers Capping Data

    From our friends over at engadget.com.... Sprint CEO hints unlimited data could end if usage gets crazy "So far, Sprint's been steadfast in its commitment to keeping caps off its data plans -- a big selling point since AT&T's moved to tiered pricing and Verizon has threatened to do the same --...

    Update... bueller...anyone?

    Where is the update that was supposed to drop today? Anyone gotten it OTA or otherwise? I can't find anything on Samsung's support page and when I manually check for updates thru the phone it says nothing is available? I put my neck on the chopping block on this forum believing that Samsung has...

    Help Launcher Pro Negatively Affecting Battery Life?

    Can anyone confirm if Launcher Pro uses more battery life than the stock launcher? I installed it two days ago, and I swear my battery life has decreased fairly dramatically. Sorry, I don't have any screen shots or empirical data, but in general I am seeing about 2-3 hour difference in life...

    Please, no more "EPIC v. EVO"

    Could we please not have any more "Epic v. Evo," "An Evo user's experience with Epic," or anything of the sort on this forum? Threads such as those do not stimulate any informative discussion. All they do is re-hash the same tired arguments about which device is better and are quite frankly...

    EPIC had me at Hello!

    As soon as I saw the sweet EPIC box I knew it was better than the EVO! The EPIC has beautiful packaging wheras the EVO comes in a ramen noodle carton! No, seriously, does anyone else think that the EVO's box is the cheapest most pathetic cell phone packaging they have literally EVER seen? Food...

    Secrecy of Release Date is Idiocy

    Let me begin by saying that I will be purchasing an EPIC 4G on release day (whenever that may be) no matter when it is!!! Now to my point, the lack of information and outright secrecy being employed by Sprint regarding the release of the EPIC 4G is downright moronic and piss-poor marketing. I...

    EVO is like an abusive spouse...

    EVO is like an abusive spouse. You love him/her with all of your heart, and 95% of the time they treat you great. It's just that other 5% of the time that they lose their cool and smack you up a bit. You hate that that happens, but you really do love them and want them to be better all the time...

    Verdict - 30 Day Period from Launch

    To keep or not to keep... for everyone that picked one up on launch day, that is the question. The time to effortlessly return or exchange one is coming to an end this weekend. Who else is in this boat? Currently, I am on my second EVO (which is now a worthless brick) and waiting on Best Buy...

    Throwing in the Towel

    I realize that what I am about to write is going to piss a lot of you off. Despite what you might think, the intent is not to incite a riot on this forum. And just to get it out of the way, I AM NOT AN APPLE FANBOY! I have never owned ANY Apple device and could give two sh*ts about the iPhone...

    Finally Able to Exchange!!!

    My long national nightmare is finally over! After buying my EVO on launch day and discovering a problem with the front-facing camera the next day, I was FINALLY able to exchange my device for a brand new one today. I purchased the device from Best Buy and have been getting the customary "we...

    HTC Didn't Learn Anything

    Okay, let me preface this post by saying that I love my EVO, and I was one of the, apparently, 'fortunate' few who got one on launch day. Everything on my EVO works perfectly, except for an issue I am having with the front-facing camera. The point of this post however, isn't the camera issue...
