I'd get the new Samsung Epic 4G phone.  If I had Sprint at least.  New iPhone 4 tonight for me after work.  iOS 4 is just way to slow on my old 3G...

Or you can wait and see by that time you will know if the Epic is any good or not.

All of the Sprint stores here are out of them and the online store is also out.  Rumblings that Rock Road may be getting a shipment Monday.  Dude said a shipment = 11 EVOs.

Phone besties again  :cheers:

Did you read Pete's & SDs summary?  Essentially the only things that the Pre has on the EVO is the keyboard and the not having to add $10/month for 4G that we don't even have yet.  I went shopping yesterday but like I said they're out until Monday (maybe) & the online store is out.  Best Buy has them but I'm not sure I want to get one from there, not sure why.  I'll still have the old beater tomorrow night.

MIR, you really should wait until the Epic comes out.  I mean it's only a little over 2 weeks.  But I guess you could always return your EVO within 30 days if you decide to switch.

I'll have to see if the Epic will have sling mobile at launch.  I had been using sling mobile for 2 years before I got the Pre and I have really missed it.  I haven't gotten much use out of my slingbox the last year because I don't use my laptop much anymore.  I won't even consider getting a phone without sling mobile.

I'm pretty sure it will because my roommate's Captivate does and they run the same OS.

I don't know if the Epic will have it or not, but the EVO does...but I haven't tried it.  I am likely getting a Slingbox this winter when basketball starts.

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

and making things even more interesting is the fact that Sprint's first WiMAX handset -- HTC's EVO 4G  -- is simply one of the best phones we've ever reviewed. In other words, yeah, you could say that the Epic's got a lot to live up to. Is it up to the task? Let's find out.

Quote
the EVO is also on that short list for us -- and the better camera, bigger screen, and $50 savings versus the Epic still make it our winner in this 4G shootout, though only by the thinnest of margins. Needless to say, if you need a physical keyboard and you're looking for the one of the most musclebound Android phones money can buy, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Can't go wrong here, boys.

The sprint site says it's not compatible on my phone.  Found out that this is because I opened the link with the Dolphin browser.  Open it using the default browser and it will download.
