(Q) Where do these names come from? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I was just wondering, where do the names for our phones come from? For instance our phone is called a galaxy s2 at sprint. But its also referred to as the epic 4g touch and also the sphd710 or whatever. My wife had the galaxy 1 on T-Mobile but it was also called the Samsung vibrant. Now she has a galaxy s3 but she came with with me to sprint. I don't know where to find the name of it on the forums though. Is it the gs3 international? Is there a website that has all of the phones listed with all of their names on it?

Galaxy S3 is listed as sprint galaxy s3, also SPH-L710 and d2spr took me 2 secs to find it even before I had mine. Google.com search box, click to type in field, type: "galaxy s3 sprint xda" be amazed at how simple it was to find your answer. Jeez, since when did people need their hands held to use Google it's been around quite a while

Sarcasm isn't needed you are wrong he is correct.
Now on the the question at hand, I personally don't know if anyone is jumping ship, I dont see why someone would switch carriers just to dev for this phone specifically, but if you meant jumping ship from another sprint phone that is still up in the air

Epic Touch for short.
No other short name applies.
Can we call it the sprint without 4g

Epic 4G Touch should be renamed to ...

Good Luck
(Might be fun to see what the community comes up with to rename the phone to something more fitting. Then send the link to the Sprint higher ups.)
Before I state this, I will say I do like the phone quite a bit, but not as much as my OG EVO.

Word. If anyone ever asks what my phone is, that's exactly what I tell them. The Sprint marketing machine is loaded to the brim with fail.
I think its funny when people say "Is that one of them iphones"
I see/meet a huge variety of people in my job.
This thread reminds me of the Evo 3D being named "3VO" and about half of the members hating the name once the device started getting some development/attention, lol.

There is a reason this phone has the longest name ever, Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint Epic 4g Touch. Carriers want to re-brand the phone and make it "theirs" (here in the US of A anyway) however, Samsung isn't stupid, they knew what kind of reputation they built around the name "Samsung Galaxy S2," I mean hell I've seen more SGS2 TV commercials recently than I think I've ever seen for a smartphone. Samsung wasn't about to let them take that name away, but they let Sprint slap some crap on the end knowing which name would stick. What does it say on the back of our phones? Galaxy S II, I don't see the word Epic anywhere on here. Now I do think we have one of the better SGS2s, considering screen size and processor, but I don't need the words "Sprint Epic 4G Touch" to distinguish those things.
The "Samsung LoS" sounds about right or maybe the "Samsung Receptionless"

Epic 4g touch and the ladies!!

Idk about anyone here but my phone have gotten me laid a lot in the past few months since I've got it. Idk how long this would last as the ice breaker is usually, "wow is that the new iphone", "that's a really cool phone", or "what kind of phone is this?". And I simply reply its a galaxy s2, and the rest is history.
Anyone's Phone gotten them laid lately?

Farewell Epic 4G Touch community!

I recently changed wireless providers and I am currently on AT&T now. I got the Galaxy S II for AT&T and I'm liking it so far. I would just like to thank all the developers for their hard work and the community with all that they have helped with. Also anyone that has every answered a question that I have asked, I really appreciate it. Its been good. Take Care.
Well at least you got a good phone!

I thought both Note and Skyrocket were based on snapdragon chipsets, not Exynos. In other words, Epic Touch is still the best phone in the US.

Exactly. And because Epic Touch has a larger screen, 4G and notification led, it's the best version of GS2 or any other android phone in the us.
He'd probably have to import an international Note just to make up for swapping out the Epic Touch. And that still may not be an upgrade if one cared about 4G (which I really don't, so it would be for me).
Congrats. You just downgraded your service provider and downgraded you device. AT&Ampt is the worst possible carrier and you no longer has the exynos chipset. If i was you i would do an about face. Return your AT&Ampt device. And NEVER EVER look back. Also i hope you enjoy getting limited to 2GB of Data thru AT&Ampt. And getting charged more for less minutes. Enjoy. Lulz.

I want a gNex just to play with. The et4g hardware wise really is the better device, but it has its quirks. Brick bug being the worst, but the one thing I really hate is the resolution at 240dpi is so damn big Stevie Wonder could see it. However I've converted my ET4G to the Galaxy Nexus 2 by disabling and covering my hardware keys, loading aokp and enabling the navigation bar and dropping my dpi to 185. And i get almost double the quadrant the gNex gets so I'm happy and i have the look and feel that is about all the nexus has to offer over the ET4G.

Hmm id be wary of the esn especially if he lowered price that much that fast
When on cl I would normally say ok but sale will have to be done at a Sprint store if they are hesitant there's ur answer
I have both phones, the GNexus definately wins in the GPS part and the roms are great also.
Id do it.
Not as powerful, but it has an HD screen, and the development! Roms, kernels, everything. I would do it just for the development.

only reason to get the nexus is for the native google software support since samsung blows for support
