Q. So I am going to purchase a new phone soon and I'm stuck between these three phones. Price is not a severe issue. Apparently the Epic is a fantastic phone, but when I went to go see it myself, it seemed rather big and the keyboard seemed awkward. But perhaps further opinions? Secondly, I really like the Evo Shift because it seemed like a reliable phone with some neat features and of good size. Lastly, I liked the Arrive because it's different. I like the Windows OS but it comes with concerns. The other two phones are Android, making them developed OSs with plenty of apps. Windows OS though is new and still has glitches, not to mention a smaller app selection. Although, I love Window's design and simplicity...I am just so stuck. They are all great phones that aren't particulary better than one or the other...opinions?
A. The Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S phone) is a very nice phone. It's 4 inches, it's big lmao. Full touch screen plus a slide out QWERTY keyboard, really nice for texting because the keyboard isn't mini plus it's good for gaming. I believe the Epic 4G has the Gingerbread update officially, Android OS 2.3.3 (newest one). Amazing 1GHz processor, very fast, can run multiple applications at once.
Pros:
1. Great battery life
2. Awesome Customization
3. Bluetooth great quality (verison 3.0 BT technology)
4. Graphic processor can be 40% faster than the HTC Evo, that includes the Evo Shift
5. E-mail+Web browsing
6. Phone reception/quality is perfect
7. Main camera quality
Cons:
1. Too many hidden apps open by themselves all the time
2. Back camera lens comes all the way out
The good: The Samung Epic 4G has a knockout Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor, a front-facing camera, an impressive QWERTY keyboard, a 5.0MP (megapixel) camera w/ an LED flash, and supports Sprint's 4G WiMax network. It is capable of acting as a mobile hot WiFi hot spot for up to 5 devices
The bad: The Samsung Epic 4G is the bulkiest of all the Galaxy S phones, and also the priciest. Also requires a costly data plan.
The bottom line: The Samsung Epic 4G is a multimedia powerhouse w/ features the other Galaxy S phones don't have. Sadly, comes with a big price tag.
HTC Evo Shift 4G
The good: The HTC Evo Shift 4G has a solid design w/ a comfortable physical keyboard. The Android 2.2 (Froyo) smartphone is 4G capable and can be used as a mobile hot spot.
The bad:
1. Lacks a front-facing camera
2. Lacks a HDMI port
The bottom line:
For those who crave a physical keyboard, the HTC Evo Shift 4G is a solid choice with a more wallet-friendly price than its 4G competitors, and it doesn't sacrifice too many features.
HTC Arrive
The good:
The HTC Arrive features a durable design with a responsive QWERTY keyboard and a tilting screen. It's the first Windows Phone 7 device to ship with Microsoft's cut-and-paste feature.
The bad:
The HTC Arrive's heavy and bulky body will weigh some people down, and it requires some pressure to slide open the keyboard. Its camera could be better, and we were hoping for 4G WiMax support.
The bottom line:
The HTC Arrive, Sprint's first Windows 7 phone, is a solid effort that largely delivers, although it will disappoint those looking for a 4G smartphone.
HTC Evo 4G
The good:
The HTC Evo 4G delivered respectable 4G speeds, and the mobile hot-spot feature lets you connect up to eight devices. The smartphone has a front-facing camera for video chats and also comes with an 8-megapixel camera with HD-video-recording capabilities. The Evo ships with YouTube's HQ video player, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and an HDMI port. Other highlights include an extra-large 4.3-inch touch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
The bad:
Sprint's 4G network is limited at this time, making the mandatory $10 premium data add-on tough to swallow for anyone outside of the coverage area. The Evo lacks support for Bluetooth voice-activated dialing. Battery drains quickly with 4G
The bottom line:
The HTC Evo 4G is easily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's top Android devices. It also shows the promise of 4G, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax network expands, but until there's broader 4G coverage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory premium data add-on fee.
HTC Evo 4G or Samsung Galaxy SII (Epic 4G Touch)?
Q. I really need help with this onee pleasee!!!!!!!!!!!
A. I have the Samsung, and I really, really like it. Prior to this, I went through two Evos (and my husband went through three) in a period of only several months. The Evo is a great phone when it works right, but it's terrible for screen issues and keyboard issues. So far I've had good luck with the Epic, though. The keys on the slider aren't always as responsive as I'd like, but I bought it used, so IDK if I should blame it on the phone itself. In any case, I haven't had any other problems with the Samsung Epic 4G. It's a terrific phone, IMO.
Iphone 4s vs Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G?
Q. Which do you prefer? The Iphone 4s or the Samsung Galaxy S2? I wanna know whats so different about them. Sure Android vs Apple. But phone comparison. Which is really better?
A. Galaxy lets you pop the back and upgrade its memory any time. Its got an 8 mgpx camera and can record 1920x1080 full hd video too. It does better on the drop tests where the iphone shattered front and back. It has google voice which is like Siri but probably inferior. galaxy uses gorilla glass, unlike the iphone. if your an apple fanboy, you'll probably buy only apple, but the iphone 4s has been surpassed. It happens to everything.
