Hi Epic owners. I was wondering if you could help me make a big decision for me. You probably get this all the time, but I was wondering if you could help me make the decision between the Epic and EVO Shift. I will probably also be posting this in the EVO Shift forums.
I have, for the past week, researched both, played with them, etc, and I can honestly say, price aside (there is a $100 difference for my account), I am already learning toward the Epic. However, I am worried that the Epic has a lot of issues, and I want a reliable phone. I'm pretty tech savvy I suppose, and I have a little experience with Android, but I don't want to be fighting with my Epic. I have seen a lot of threads where people say they are on their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Epics. This worries me, but I know a lot of the info is outdated since the Epic only just got Froyo.
A two year commitment and 424.00 is huge, so I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on if this will be a solid phone and worth the money and time, from a users point of view. I really love the Epic, but I don't want long term issues for all that money and time. I made a mistake with my last phone and that's why I'm upgrading it at the one year mark, and I don't want to do that again. Would appreciate any help, thanks.
My worries/cons about the Epic:
-Samsung's lack of support
-GPS issues
-Major bugs
-Size
-Issues with Froyo
-Quality as far as keyboard lasting.
-Difference between EVO Shift and Epic not big enough to justify $100 difference.
