Hi EVO Shift 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 have also posted a similar post on the Epic 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 phone.
A two year commitment and 324.00 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 or information, thanks.
My worries/cons about the EVO Shift:
-Keyboard slider. I tried it and I really hated that it was so hard to get out.
-Lack of information about bugs. Are there any major ones?
-Smaller/more washed out screen
-Lack of features such as no Netflix/Lack of forward facing camera (not a big deal, but enough to make it a point against)
-Quality as far as keyboard lasting.
-EVO Shift becoming outdated quickly. Will I wish I had spent the extra $100 dollars for the Epic soon after?
