@mitchedo, Thanks. Your response and experience helps me to get closer to a decision.
To answer your question, I hate my Epic because it's never really worked well. The screen is killer. I thought I'd like the physical keyboard but I'm finding that I use it very rarely. I'm on my second Epic. The first one stopped responding to touch after 6 months of owning it. The screen started to flicker uncontrollably. This was after the first Froyo OTA update messed up my phone. Before the update entering text into fields on a browser was bad but after the update it was absolutely painful. It's still not great on my second Epic. On my second Epic the micro usb port is messed up. It became loose. Now Sprint won't do anything for me. I'm done with the shoddy hardware and software from Samsung. This Epic feels cheap and flimsy.
@whatsitsname, I wasn't upset. It's just that the responses I got had nothing to do with my questions. And where did you see that the etf is going up to $350? That would suck.
After my awful experience with the Touch Pro, I ruled out any phone with a physical keyboard, as that means moving parts, and that means breakdowns. I do miss the 5-row keyboard a bit, but the screen keyboard on the MoPho is fine and easier on my hands.
ETF going to $350? Well, if they change the rules on me again in the middle of my contract, I just may bail for Verizon during the 30-day rejection window. Last time, they removed the corporate discount I was getting on my whole bill and applied it only to the primary line. My bill went up a few bucks, and I looked long and hard at Verizon, but Big Red was still way more expensive. ...but that was before the $10/month "smart phone fee". I suspect Sprint would still be the better deal even now. ...but if the monthly difference isn't too much, Verizon has a far wider coverage area, which is important out here in the West.
