I LOL at that. It was a brick of text. Only way I would read something that long is if it interest me. The first few rhetorical line put me to sleep. No thanks.

Is that all you do? Post dumb pictures to 'prove' your point? Expected something more of substance.
Its getting old.
Too long to read, so I skipped it.
My company installs fiber equipment in cell tower huts and cabinets. We are not even close to being able to backhaul all this data right now.
If you know anything about telecom, there is usually a 4-6 week back order for anything NEW. Seems that every manufacturer is switching to the "just in time" delivery model. We've had to wait 8 weeks for some Cisco fiber muxes to come in, and Fujitsu isn't much better.
It will be years before we have the backhaul infrastructure to support the speeds some of you guys are talking about. I'd also like to point out that size does matter. When you have so much more square footage to cover, it will take much longer to upgrade your networks.
We are not ready to deliver 30Mbps to cell phones...I am surprized that we can even deliver 8Mbps...
We have hundreds and hundreds of towers to update in our market alone.
OK, a little story. Last night we had a indoor soccer practice for my 6 yr olds team. Just as the practice ended, there was a power outage. Fortunately, I had the flashlight app on my Evo to lead the kids out off the building. Not a Evo thing per se, but why you want a phone with a flash. In the parking lot, another coach had to go to his other sons practice at a unfamiliar school. He was furiously scrolling through his BB to find the address. I did a voice search and found the address in about 2 sec for him to input into his gps. To rub it in, I did a navigate to search for the same school and had the nav up and routed before he was able to turn on his TomTom. He was impressed and said my Evo made his Bold seem like a can tied to a string.
Now the vs Epic part.
I told my wife the story and she took out her Epic and tried the same navigate to search. We were right in front of floor to walll glass doors, but the Epic refused to get a gps lock. The house phone rang and she put the Epic down on the table where it sat for ~45min. When she picked it up, it still hadn't locked and the battery was half gone (full charge at the start). For kicks, I did the same search from the same place with the Evo and it locked almost instantly.
Just want to say that I finally purchased the epic 4g...maybe its because I'm coming from the iphone 3g, but I couldn't be happier...
I appreciate all the discussion and the points of view....
I went with the phone (as so many of you have recommended) that is best for what I use... And for what I do the evo and epic are nearly identical, so it came down to the "better feeling" phone, which is totally subjective.
can't go wrong with either, as novox told me, and I'd have to agree...
The masses have also spoken about the iPhone 4. Does that make it better than every other phone?
The masses a couple hundred years back believed in witchcraft hysteria, and often executed many innocent women along the way. Does that make them right?
Don't base an argument about what the masses want, because the masses are often wrong and driven by reasons other than what's the best choice.

Congrats, pretty sure you'll be pleased over the long term, hopefully Froyo will come soon with the much anticipated gps fix(s) bundled in it.
If that that does come to fruition I'll be headed to sprint as well for my wifes upgrade to the Epic. I still have another line beyond that eligible and unless something else that one-ups the evo is released by December (doesnt seem likely) that one will become another Evo!
Go compare the sales. Go compare the number of people on this board compared to the Epic's board. The Evo's commericials are running basically non stop. Have not seen any for the Epic.
Both may be 4G phones but it's not even close to which one is better.
Sales numbers only reflect popular opinion so sorry they don't mean squat.
Im pretty sure Sprint disagrees with this... as well as the masses obviously lol

Soooooooooo............ how good is Samsung about pushing out those updates? Fixed the gps thing yet? Froyo? Regardless of how good a phone they make after the whole Instink debacle ill never buy another one. And from looks of it.. doesnt look like much has changed.
