An Epic for Verizon?

**rickhamilton620** · 06-26-2011, 10:31 PM

Hopefully it'll come sooner rather than later...and won't suffer the fate of the Merge. Like the Merge, it'll have stiff competition that VZW might decide to prioritize over it: The Galaxy S II, IF Pocket Now's guess about when it'll come out is right.

This or Galaxy S II...that'll be a hard decision for me..,

Looks like. Rumor mill says that there will be a Epic2 coming but its not the GSII phone. It will be more or less the same as it is now but it will be a 1.2 ghz Processor.
It could be like to one that Metro PCS got. The Indulge? In the article it says its in the I400 like the continuum. so it would make the phone for Verizon a mid-level phone like they state.

1.2 ghz isn't terribly bad. Although it's mid-range I could live with it for having a keyboard.

A 1.2 GHZ single core phone is not midrange. Still high end.

**sndplace** · 06-27-2011, 11:43 AM

I didn't mean that it would be 1.2 and that is a mid-level phone. The Epic2 rumored to have a 1.2 single core where as the article for the virizon phone states that the phone coming has an ID# i 400's witch puts it inline with the cunrtnuums ID# . So if the cuntinuum is a mid-level phone then this 1 might be considered 1 aas well. But the Epic or anything in that range of specs as of right now isn't Mid-range but soon it will be with all these dual caores comes and soon to be quadcore phones. lol

Ah i got ya. Yeah, Continuum seems to be a flop...haven't seen a single Continuum ever. This should sell a LOT better.

**Jalarm** · 06-27-2011, 01:05 PM

1 GHZ is plenty fast, and is still high end. You only need dual core if your playing mass 3D/ HD games. Yes, Dual core is high end, but single core still has the rest of this year, and maybe next to still be considered high end.

**Officerpolabear** · 06-27-2011, 02:01 PM

for some reason, the bezel around the phone sort of reminds me of the droid charge's...

**zanderman112** · 06-28-2011, 01:07 AM

I have an epic 4g. If that phone is anything like mine, it'll be amazing.

Sent from my Epic 4G, awaiting official Gingerbread.

Dual core is awesome...I played with an evo 3D and WOW! The sense 3.0 UI was blazing fast!

?

is this Epic coming in a dualcore? Cause if it does then it would be the GSII . I dont understand what does this have to do with the Epic on Verizon.

not all that exciting

While that may be true, one has to remember that this segment is slowly shrinking in terms of market as more makers do without hardware keyboards and carriers want the allure that a slab device provides. Therefore any somewhat decent device in the segment is important to many people. With this phone and Droid 3 there will be 2 viable high end options for vzw customers, with Merge in very limited release for the midrange crowd.

**ANDROID__JUNKIE** · 06-30-2011, 12:43 AM

We have honestly not fully tapped out the gpu and hummingbird processor. If Samsung has learned anything they will stick full 1GB of ram in there, overclock to 1.2Ghz like stated, and release it with 2.3.4... that would truly be "epic" regardless of the carrier... unless its AT&T that is! ;-)

**smartphonedude** · 06-30-2011, 11:58 AM

Galaxy S II would be pretty much dominant on VZW

**Jalarm** · 06-30-2011, 02:15 PM

I refuse to buy anything with touchwiz. Too much pain.

Eh I actually prefer touchwiz if a skin's present on a phone. That's why Android's awesome, so much choice so everyone's happy

**rickhamilton620** · 07-16-2011, 10:20 PM

Ohh yeah. NOW we're talking. LTE, a great screen, and a keyboard largely untouched from the Epic. If this has Galaxy S II internals (As the post suggests) then sign me up. Hell, even if it doesn't...I'm in.

anything is better then MOTO BLUR.

trust me, ive played with touchwiz 4.0, the thing FLIES.

its much better then 3.0.

as far as the epic, it can be over clocked to 1.4ghz and undervolted nicely.

i dont run 1300 or 1400mhz because they get my phone too warm, but running 1.2 overclocked and undervolted the phone flies, great benchmarks, and battery life is great. i got 20 hours of usage today.

this will be a great phone that will last a long time for people.

personally, only issue i have with the epic is the hinges, they become loose.mine kinda waffles back and forth when the screen is closed.

ive never used the hard keyboard and wish i didnt get it with one

Your overclock news is great to hear, after I was let down by the confirmation that the VZW version has Galaxy S 1 internals.

I'm still bummed at the lack of RAM...why are all these slider handsets midrange? Droid 3 is high end, but only due to its processor and (this one's arguable) screen. A dual core processor doesn't mean squat if the phone will end up lagging when you open a lot of (or one heavily demanding) apps.

**Rominucka** · 07-19-2011, 01:46 AM

I feel so funky.
My first smartphone was Metro's Galaxy Indulge, because I can't type well on a touchscreen.

When I started working for Verizon I needed to get a big screened, non-keyboarded phone, cause I refuse to have the "Q" share a key with the "1". I also refused to get anything less than 4G speeds.
I got the Droid Charge. I LOVE my Charge...I hold it sacred, like the farmer holds the land sacred, like a priest holds the Bible sacred....

Some more info on this device is now available, such as the model number which is the Samsung SCH-i405. It has a single-core 1GHz processor with 512MB of RAM. The resolution of the display is 480 x 800 and there is an 1800mAh battery powering the device.

Now, what am I supposed to do with this? This phone is gonna be AWESOME!!! That's a huge battery. You know the screen is gonna be beautiful. Part of me is thinking "where was this two months ago?" and the rest of me is more than happy with the my Charge.

I need a way to switch ESN's on the fly. Maybe I can talk to my boss and see if he'll let me test run one for a month. I could alternate...Charge Mondays, "Slider" Tuesdays, etc.

What posted was a question. The OP was about the Epic(single core phone slider) on Verizon and that post was about the EVO3D dual core phone and how great that phone is.

Every Post before that was talking about a single core. I don't know why or how you took what I posted as rude. I just wanted to know what that post meant. maybe it was meant for another threat and the person click on this one by mistake maybe it was just a post.

If you were offended by that or anyone, then don't be. It was not my intention .
