How retarded... they move the speaker grill from right to left... now the Samsung Galaxy S2 otterbox will cover the speaker!
HA!!
Gotta love it...
Any idea if this should be fixed by otterbox?
Sprint makes phones? The specs were posted before you bought the phone.
It's also thicker and has a bigger screen...
The phone's a different shape and size, too, with a bigger screen. Why would you assume ANY SGS2 accessories would work on it? All carriers make minor modifications to the phones in the US, typically, so buying international-spec accessories is a sucker's bet.

I don't consider it an Epic Failure..
you'd have hoped Otterbox would have the Epic 4g Touch Case available at time of release.

That would require them to have access to the hardware. They have their released for the international unit because it's been out for many months and they had access to physical devices to build around. Odds are they don't get pre-release units from Samsung, so couldn't build one for the E4GT until its release. Hard to expect them to design around something they don't have available to design around.

Except it won't not work just because of the speaker grill, it also won't work because the phone's shaped differently over all and larger. The speaker grill is the least of your worries.

Why does the Epic test 'significantly faster data speeds than the Evo'? Can't see any featured that would account for that.

Well, it has a keyboard, some people like the slightly smaller size, it has a keyboard and supports Bluetooth 3.0. If these are important to you, you're likely to think it better than the Evo.

i think you read it wrong:
"Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S sports numerous advantages over its T-Mobile “Vibrant” brethren. First, it adds support for Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network, which has already spread across numerous urban areas in the U.S. In testing with HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s next-gen network showcased significantly higher data transfer speeds (especially useful while tethering) and the ability to simultaneously make voice calls while transmitting data (not possible using Sprint’s traditional 3G CDMA)."
I believe its saying that testing done on the Evo 4g's 4g network shows significantly higher data transfer speeds than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which the author assumes will be the case on the Epic as well).
poor word choice by the author, but thats his intent. not saying Epic's 4g is faster than Evo's.
Ah... I think your right.... my bad.
The Epic just isn't sexy enough for me. It looks so cheap and old. The EVO is beautiful.
Completely agree.
Gorgeous hardware.
Along with the Iphone its easily the best looking smartphone on earth right now.....although. Ill take the Evo...most out pundits go with the Iphone in the aesthetic dept.
Not really a review as much as breathless fanboy anticipation. For all the vaunted prowess of the Hummingbird processor, all of the Galaxy S phones routinely display lagginess not usually seen on the Evo and the battery life claims as way overstated -- most reviews of the Vibrant and Captivate peg the battery life on par with the Evo and nowhere near double.
I don't think it looks cheap. I just thinks it's too round, I like the Evo's over all shape alot better.

Same. It's definitely not an "ugly" phone exactly... But it definitely doesn't scream "high end" like the EVO, iPhone 4 or the other Galaxy S devices. The keyboard could have something to do with it as well as the roundess. Honestly, I think the best looking Galaxy S device so far is the Captivate. I love the hard edges with the curved top/bottom. It looks very elegant and original and less like an iPhone knockoff like the Vibrant and the regular Galaxy S.
Its Samsung.. like the old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
I had a Moment. That was my one and only Samsung phone. Even if the Epic handed out BJs, I wouldnt buy one.

That's a pretty damn cool looking case.

Can you find out if Sprint/Samsung will replace the charger that came with the ET4G? There are a ton of reports of the cable not being grounded and it's creating some interference with the touch screen while plugged in.

Well with Verizon they had to pay Lucas to use that name, so I'd milk it for every penny too if I were Verizon. Also I understand the concept of brand recognition by keeping "Epic", but still Epic 4g Touch is a horrible name.
I either call mine Galaxy S2 (since as others have pointed out its freaking emblazened on the back), or "Enterprise D" as its a huge Galaxy-class that looks surprising thin from the side.
What the hell is wrong with people, who cares. This is the only phone that has like twenty thousand names, you can literally call it so many things and pple know what you're talking about. You can use it's absolutely full name and called it, Sprint's Samsung Epic 4g Touch, call it the Galaxy S II, call it the ET4G, call it the hottest phone in the motherfuckin world right now abbriviated to hpmfwrn. I call it GS II or ET4G. What is important tho is the only case in the world where the Exynos processor meets a 4.52 inch screen. The only instance in the world where that happens. The ET4G is pure perfection. Call it pure perfection if you want.

If they can somehow slim the design I'd switch if the specs were on par with what I have now.

They can. They don't because they have far too many phones to make it for. I don't even have to look to know that the iPhone definitely has one of these available that is precisely what you are looking for and probably 10 others of varying degrees of suck. How many iphones does it fit? Probably all of them, definitely the last 2.
I'm not advocating for the iPhone at all. It's simply a dynamic of having just-once-device vs a world of other devices. I guess it's a physical and/or economic manifestation of the paradox of choice...one of the few places that less choice is beneficial...at least on paper.
Me? I'm all for options, even given this dynamic.
I have to chuckle at those who miss the Epic keyboard. It was the worst phone keyboard I've ever used. It's what forced me to learn to use touchscreen keyboards and finally prefer them. I can't imagine going back now, and especially to the Epic.

came across someone with one of these on their iphone few weeks ago. i have to say.. if youre all about physical keyboards.. its certainly an awesome option. the iphone was not much thicker than stock.. matched the phone completely.. connected via bluetooth of course.
not an iphone fan but i was impressed.

Interesting, but I THINK that is a pic of the Conquer 4G. I have those exact headphones (Sony MDR-EX85) and I'll say that that handset in the pic isn't very big or thick (using the earbud as a size reference).
An updated Epic should be nice tho, I do sometimes miss the keyboard on my OG Epic. It was just too thick.
