We all have our own opinions, working at VZW, when using our Fascinate vs. the Epic, it feels so empty and lacking without that physical keyboard, I can type much faster with it and I love being able to type text without the virtual keyboard blocking most of the screen. Plus, its amazing for emulators and other games. If the Epic was on VZW, I'd get it in a heartbeat! The Epic makes going to Sprint very tempting for me, its one of my most favorite smart-phones thus far and I still miss it despite having my Thunderbolt currently. :'(
I'm amazed that only Sprint got the Galaxy S in the entire world with a physical keyboard, not even its home market of South Korea got a keyboard option!
