Ryven posted:So I've been looking at getting a new phone finally and I pretty much have it narrowed down to 3 choices. The HTC EVO Shift, Samsung Epic 4g and the Nexus S 4g ( if it worth me waiting till it comes out). For what it's worth, the Epic and the Nexus S have the EXACT same CPU and GPU, same model number, same 540 graphics core. So in terms of compute capability, they are identical. I'm in a similar situation myself. My contract is up with Verizon, I'm on someone else's plan, and I will be getting off when the contract is up. I've chosen to go with Sprint because of the 20% discount I get from my employer, and I've pretty much decided I'm going to go with the Epic. I've played with the Evo and Evo Shift, the Evo is way too big, and the shift just doesn't feel right in my hand. The Epic has a freaking great screen and gorilla glass front. I currently have an original Motorola Droid, the Epic is somewhat similar in size and hand-feel. Now I've rooted and modded the poo poo out of my droid, but from my understanding that's really not even required with the Epic because it's just flatly fast to begin with. I guess I'm kind of submitting and opinion and asking for feedback, as I said I'll be picking up Sprint with a fresh contract in 1-2 months. I really want a hardware keyboard though. I remote desktop back home a lot, and trying to use any kind of remote desktop software with a software keyboard is nigh impossible. Any thoughts? Edit: I'm also anxious to see how the GV works out. I pretty much only give out my voice number now, so I'd probably take the option to have a separate number and forward it, but GV is still my primary number.

CharlesM posted:What about the HTC Arrive? Oh no please. Not another Windows phone. I had a few of them, I don't have any of them anymore, and didn't quickly. On another topic, the person earlier who was saying about the Epic: Do you own one and for how long? Do you regret the purchase? In regards to the Shift: I really didn't like the keyboard on the shift, that's why I kind of discounted it. The idea was excellent, but it was far from the best HTC keyboard I've used, I know several Epic owners, they haven't ever had any complaints about the keyboard and one of them spends practically 8 hours a day texting, so I think he'd know pretty fast. Doesn't the Shift have a 100% locked down bootloader as well? Poking around the internet it doesn't look like they have a fully working root for it yet.

I've heard that you can get Sprint service without giving a SSN. Is this correct?
