Reading through this thread is making me change my mind from wanting an Evo to wanting an Epic when I upgrade in March '11.
Just as a heads up I've been on the phone with Samsung multiple times after they didn't fix the screen wobble and strange back button behavior. Oh and the ham sandwich it smells like. edit: I'm a bit of a neat freak and this is the way the phone came back to me from warranty work with a greasy substance all over the back side.Considering about 98% of us wouldn't even know about that defect unless you pointed it out, it's not a widespread issue. Also considering neither thread lasted over a page it's even more obvious. One guy narrowed it down to a dock issue and not the screen itself. And another guy was even dumb enouh to pay sprint $35 to exchange the phone when samsung would've sent him a replacement for free. Insurance? It's a warranty issue.
If you're going to make an argument, bring one that has legs.
Upon receipt, SAMSUNG will promptly repair or replace the defective Product.
SAMSUNG may, at SAMSUNG's sole option, use rebuilt, reconditioned, or new parts
or components when repairing any Product or replace Product with a rebuilt,
reconditioned or new Product.
Honestly, I think it comes down to personal preference.
oh and I'll take my "washed out" EVO screen over this anyday:
Screen burn in? [Archive] - xda-developers
Screen burn on Samsung Epic..... .. ... [Archive] - Android Forums
Even with 2.2, the EVO screen is not even as smooth as EPIC on 2.1! When you slide the home screens, the EVO does not look smooth...the motion of the sliding screens look cheap, compared to the smoothness of the EPIC and Iphone4.
I'm not doubting anyone has seen an Evo lagging, but to describe it in its present state as laggy is misleading.
I got that ahead of time, hence my comment.I brought up quadrant scores in response to lag in general...
I been noticing on facebook and my friends most of them want to get the evo over the epic, i would like to know what makes the evo more attractive over a performance phone like the epic? i own the epic and i have tested out the evo i notice there is a like a lag on the evo and so i didn't like it plus don't like the feel of it at all. but please i would like to read comments about this...
Awesome. Thanks man. I will give this a 50th go.

Vacations and a locked thread comes next.
for the layman, this means the mod warned the people involved in breaking the rules of this board with a threat for further punishment at the end. dhun dhun dhunnn....!
I'm looking to upgrade from the TP2 to either the EVO or Epic. right now i'm leaning Epic because of the display and general snappiness of the UI & games. The only thing that's kept me from upgrading is the lack of 2.2 update and the status of any other future updates like gingerbread.
